This is my first Honda (and possibly the last). Below are the reasons why I bought it and why I might not buy it again (if certain things don't change in 2023): Pros: First, this is a THING OF BEAUTY. The color of my car is "black amethyst" and -- aside from the pretentiousness -- it fits beautifully, though sometimes I just called it chocolate raspberry. It's really basically a deep purple. The lines are gorgeous and the aerodynamically designed hills and valleys very pleasing to the eye. Once on the highway, it drives like a dream. From 0-60 does NOT take 10secs. More like 4-5. But once on the road, the ride is smooth and acceleration is excellent. I have not noticed cabin noise bc I listen to my music when I'm on the highway. The storage in the back is spacious and yes the backseats fold like there's no tomorrow. I dealt with my family storage in this car and was for a while the car lady (as opposed to bag ladies!) and had a TON of boxes in there. I got rear-ended by a 19-yer old drunk driver, and those boxes and the solid build took the brunt of the impact. Car itself had no issues, and once I was ensconced in a Ford Ecosport rental, I realized just how smooth the HRV is and how easy the transmission. Another positive is that for a short person like me, the drivers seat adjusts well (however, there's a catch which I will mention soon) and the low slung hood and wide windows give me plenty of 360-vision. Now the CONS: The seat backs are VERY wierdly shaped and I found this out while trying to catch a nap in a rest area once during a 10-hr drive. The head/neck support leans forward and even with the seat inclined back, it's hell on your neck. There is also no elbow rest AND the front seat center storage is an absolute disaster. Whoever designed this area was an idiot because it forces you to buy a phone holder, whereas Honda should give you a usable and easy-to-access phone holder right under the dashboard. As it stands, there is definitely a slight sense of being lost in the maze and the drawback is having to take your eyes off the road. Things can also easily fall to the floor and never be found again if they're little enough. Don't eat in this car... esp pizza or bread. The grains and crumbs will dirty up the nooks and crannies in a heartbeat. Also, if you're driving at night and it's cold out, the windscreen fogs up no matter what you do until and unless you turn the AC on! I mean, what gives, Honda?! Seriously?! So, anyhow. I think the best thing about this car is the safety factor. It's not meant for sporty activities on windy roads (not like my old Neon Sport anyway), but it's a solid, safe "mom car" which is not ugly looking. It's actually very pretty. The worst thing about it is the lack of thought given to the front storage area for the driver, and the hatchback style trunk opening operation. If you're five-foot nothing like me, you have to stretch up on your tippy-toes, then stretch up one of your hands, and close the trunk. And that trunk door is kind of heavy and tough to open and close. Oh, and also when you're trying to unlock the trunk, it sticks and you've gotta fight with it to open it. Little things like that make you feel irritated -- never a good emotion when you're driving. Oh, and speaking of that Ford Ecosport, I really liked the lateral trunk opener... meaning, it opened like a door, not up-down. Time to rethink that trunk, Honda. And fix that heat/AC business and give us more room to store our stuff up the front!

Not crazy about my new 2022 Honda HRV LX. Very choppy ride and noisy. Infotainment center is disappointing in that it will not notify me of text messages but keeps my phone from notifying me. I do like being able to listen to my music on my phone via Bluetooth. I bought the car for its looks...white with grey interior. Very pretty. Probably won't keep it long.

I bought the sport with the metallic gray and black rims and trim. It is a good looking ride. Speaking of ride, it is rough. If you are looking for a smooth ride, this isn't it. Yes, it's a little underpowered. Super fun to drive. I'm 63 and have owned a bunch of cars. This is one of my favorites. Just sayin.
Awesome

I purchased a new 2022 HRV. Almost immediately I started having problems with the paint chipping off. Seeing how the paint was very weak, I had an aftermarket clear coat applied. When more spots of chipping were noticed, I contacted Honda and had an evaluation via the dealerships preferred body shop. Honda refuses to amend the situation. The spot on the right rear door is growing and will probably be a dime size by next year. Mind you, I have a 2005 Civic that someone put dents in the entire drivers side. The metal dented, but the paint never chipped. Tell me they haven't cheapened their product to the point of ridiculousness.
