Wanted so much to like the car and we did, except for one little thing. The acceleration was like a bulldog on Valium. Give this car 30 more horses and you have a winner!

When Honda came out with the new HR-V I fell in love. And I am not a Honda fan. I'm a loyal Toyota girl. I had a RAV4, but just felt "blah" about it. I love the gas miliage on my honda, I'm averaging 28 mpg & less than $20 to fill her up. Her engine is not quiet by any means & the ride is not smooth. I reminds of you of driving a small truck, but FUN to drive! I'm 5'0 ft tall and I feel like this car is the SUV for us short gals! Easy to get in & out of , my 5 yr old has trouble reaching the door handle, but climbing in & out is getting easier for her. I do want to say this, in regards to safety. I had a car literally slam on their brakes in front of me a few days ago & got to use the anti-lock brakes for the first time! And all I can say is WOW!!! The stop was immediate, we all slung forward but we had our seatbelts on so all was well. I was VERY impressed by the braking system in an emergency, esp since I had my 3 kids in the car! The back seat is not comfortable with the head rests, so my kids removed the backseat headrests the day we bought it. Other than that, I give my car 5 stars! I will say the Bluetooth in my Toyota's worked ALOT better....but I still wouldn't trade my HR-V for a RAV! And it won't let me change it, but my HRV is EX model. I've had my car almost a year now & still love it. I literally get compliments daily on my car from folks I don't know, that says a lot about this car.

I love the utility and styling of the HRV. The seats are the most uncomfortable that I have ever sat in. You could use these as instruments of torture to get information from terrorists. I have to bring to dealer for service after only 3 weeks as pooling water under front passengers seat. I am considering trading or selling outright as has caused me to have sciatica. I think it would be a good vehicle if you do not drive long distances.

I got this car out of college, coming from my parent's 2006 Lexus RX330 (it was old but it was a tank, befitting of a 16 year old). Most of my driving in cities, taking trips under 5 miles. Turn radius is excellent, you'll think you're in a smaller car. Parking-including parallel, is a breeze. Both cameras are excellent, the backup has a wide view so you can see the periphery and lanewatch lets you change lanes without turning your head. Brake hold is amazing, and I don't know why this wasn't a feature decades ago. I can actually take my foot off the brake at a stoplight and not worry. In the city, I averaged about 13mpg in the RX(rated 16). In the HRV I average about 24 (rated 27). Taking road trips (~65mph), I would average about 24 in the RX (rated 22), and I get about 33 in the HRV (Rated 31). I'm averaging 27 for the life of the car (9months, 8k miles). The best I've gotten on the highway is 36 after driving about 2 hours at 65mph. 2WD mileage is likely better. Acceleration is fine. It's not as fast as my family's now illegal Jetta TDI, but it's comparable to the RX. I've never had problems passing on the highway; it's just not impressive if you ever go pedal to the metal. Acceleration is improved in sport mode (keeps the engine at a higher RPM), but you lose about 5mpg. As for ECO mode, I've noticed AC it gets severely nerfed. If you live somewhere warm you'll want to keep ECO off. In cruise control, ECO mode is also lackluster. Resuming to 65mph from a full stop at a stoplight took about 25 seconds-in this time 18 cars passed me on the left. I didn't know why it was so slow until I turned ECO mode off-suddenly cruise control accelerated at an acceptable rate. It's fine if you're maintaining speed, but if you have to slow down or come to stops on a long trip, you'll want to turn ECO off. I also haven't noticed a significant increase in efficiency in ECO mode; at best it might be 1-2mpgs. For the interior, space is great. I'm 6' and it's "almost" tight, I have the seat as low as possible, but I still fit comfortably. Backseat space is excellent. Easily fits 5+carry-ons. Magic seats are excellent. I was able to fit an entire queen bed frame (disassembled) in the car by folding the seats down. Every time I'm packing a ton of stuff I'm amazed by how much space this car has; sometimes I wonder if there's some voodoo going on. Interior build quality is excellent. I have the cloth seats (leather was not work $4k to me), and I appreciate the soft touch materials. It makes it a lot more comfortable than than the hard plastic materials in the jetta. The fo-leather on the dash looks stylish. It's hysterical to watch some new passengers try to figure out where the back door handles are. My biggest issue is the entertainment controls. They are terrible. TERRIBLE. Changing sources takes 2-4 touchscreen presses, and some buttons are so small you have to take your eyes off the road to look. Climate controls are slightly better since it's black on white, which is easier to see in your peripheral. Still not great. I find myself relying on the steering wheel controls to control volume and other audio functions. That's not a story of "Great! The steering buttons work fantastic!"; it's a story of "The touchscreen is so bad that I'm taking every opportunity to avoid it". It's also unintuitive-I find it easier to change something myself than explain the layout to a passenger. I did buy a phone mount that snaps onto the air vent and offers wireless charging to my phone, and I connect over bluetooth. That works like a charm, and it lets me easily change audio sources within my phone (podcast republic, pandora, spotify, etc) and use google maps. Connecting my wireless charger, I did notice one big drawback-the ports. My EX comes equipped with a car outlet, two USB ports, and a HDMI input. first off, the HDMI is worthless. It lets you pump something to the display, but only when the car is stopped. I don't see any point in connecting something like a laptop to a SMALLER screen. If you want it for the audio, just use bluetooth. The USB ports don't provide enough power to charge a cell phone. They're meant for data only (mp3 hookup). This perplexes me both because EVERYONE is going to try to charge their cell phone from those ports, and NO ONE is in a scenario where they'll benefit from 2 MP3 hookups. I dunno what they were thinking, and I had to get a usb adapter for the power socket. In conclusion, this is a great car for the city and highway. I just got my first oil change, and have had no maintenance or repair issues other than the tow hook cover coming off in a wash ($100? really?). It gives you headroom without sacrificing MPGs. The electronics need some redesigning for usability, but for its price point, the HRV is a 9/10, magical automobile. Give me android auto and it'll be a 10/10.

This is my first car in USA. I really loving it and enjoying each ride. I bought the base version but it has all the important features on it. Pros: 1. Smooth handling and gets good control over the car even in big curves and sharp turns. 2. High class interiors - it makes me feel like i'm driving a Costliest car. Good car in less Price. 3. More cargo space & rear seat space. Nice car for big families with more than 1 children with booster seats. 4. Electronic parking brakes are good and easy to use. Cons: 1. Personally i feel that the steering handle is little bit thin for this big car. But this is not a major problem, we can get rid of this by putting a leather wrap on it. Overall hats off to Honda for launching the brand new HR-V into the market. All the best for the new HR-V buyers..
