Used 2019 Honda HR-V Consumer Reviews
I love this car!
I don’t get why they are rating the Kona and the Soul higher than this car! I drove all three and this car is a standout! Smooth drive and plenty of pickup on acceleration. The cargo space is so much better than the Kona which was as small as my old Versa. Many options for safety. It feels solid and drives great. I recommend it highly.

Let's be HRV positive!
If you're planning to purchase the HRV I must mention that the leg room for anyone taller than six feet (like my husband) is better than the fit, yet I believe it's because the car sits up higher(added bonus for those with carseats or authoritis). The driver seat adjusts up or down, so I can crank the seat up and sit back a little further from the steering wheel (which is fabulous). Next, I love the HRV sport because of its all black interior. Compared to Toyota's interior , the HRV cloth is less likely to leave water stains( I have dumped 3 liters of water on the seat with no issues). The seats are uncomfortable on 2 hours or longer trips because they feel harder and less supportive than that of a fit or even a 2016 Nissan frontier(yet we are grateful for more leg room). If you like the back up camera, prepare to clean it often. This camera is in a poor location compared to my 2015 Honda fit or my 2016 Nissan frontier, though it is an added bonus when I can see out of it. I love the way the car drives, but there is some rattling... I have read that's normal for the HRVs. Next, passengers love the rear seat room. I wish there were USB ports in the rear, but nonetheless we will manage. The windshield wipers in the front and rear are fabulous! It is one thing I loved about my fit too. Let's talk about getting into the rear deck lid... you must have the key fob in hand, car off, and be standing in the back to push a button to open the rear deck lid... shopping trips were more fun with my 2015 honda fit... but the storage in the HRV is awesome with the possibility of laying the rear seats down for extended space( I can fit a large metal dog crate in the back and have room for luggage). Overall, the HRV is like the fit, with worse gas mileage, more leg and head room, and better locations for the cool cupholders, but the AWD is an added bonus. The HRV is great for those seeking an AWD,and average gas mileage. I average 28-30 mpg driving 40 miles to work ,one way , over mountains and around curves, so it does fairly well, especially with its' handling. Buy the car because of the positives, it equals out. I love it and I plan to keep it as long as my 2003 honda civic that has well over 300,000 miles. I'm a faithful Honda owner and will continue owning one for my daily driver.

Easy to park
Sharp looking little car that so many other automakers try to emulate. Nice lines. Disappointed in mileage (28-31mpg)and no hybrid available. I did get the AWD option. Works great over a rough driveway , but cuts the turning radius down. Lane assist keeps me on my toes while driving at night. PS it cannot see the lines on a wet road unless they are bold and yellow!! Poor storage around the driver. Arm rest somewhat short, and if you pull it forward, you loose the back cup holder. Speaking of which. The cup holders are adaptable from coffee cup size to tall mugs. Nice gadget. The 0-60 sluggish. Breaking decent. It’s spot on if it thinks you are getting too close to another car. When you use cruise control you can set how close you can get to another car. I learned the hard way while on the busy freeway, to set it allowing cars to be closer, otherwise the car “steps on the breaks” for you, almost got rear ended.Ride is quiet, but got mine with Michelin tires. Mine is all black. I am planning to get good window tint all around including sunroof and front windshield to keep UV rays out. The silly dashboard rug I got on Amazon, custom cut for the car works great at eliminating glare and keeping it cooler. The short angled back window prevents excess heat there. Nice to have a rear wiper. Automatic headlights are working well. But like the instructions say, best use high beams manually when on curvy or hilly roads, otherwise they don’t turn off in time for oncoming traffic. Overall 7.8/10
Love my new Honda HVR Sport at 85 yrs old.
I checked a lot of ratings, and drove some. Immediatly I could tell the difference in the weight of the door, and other features were above others.
Class and Comfort with Superior Safety Features.
My HRV EXL is the perfect size for this 79 yr old Grandma..Heated Luxurious Leather Seats. AWD Wonderful VIsability and Storage Room. Smooth quiet ride makes driving a pleasure Not to mention all the Superior Safety Features,,the Rear View camera is such a convenience for backing up, especially at the Supermarkets where people walk behind car as you try to leave.
