It makes a noise in the center console in the morning, even if it is parked or when you turn on the wipers, when you drive on rural roads, the plastic of the hatch will vibrate with the metal and it makes a noise as if you were driving a car that was used 10 years ago.

Why Do We Have to Pay Extra For Safety???

Decent vehicle that is practical for gas consumption, parking yet stores a lot of goods. But why does Honda make you pay extra for safety features found standard on similar vehicles?

2023 HR-V is Disappointing

I have put nearly 100,000 trouble-free miles on a 2016 Honda HR-V. It has been one of my favorite automobiles, despite relative lack of power, harsh ride, and seats that are uncomfortable on long drives. When Honda announced the 2023 redesign, I was excited. A test drive quickly dispelled my excitement. The seats and ride are little improved. Thanks to adding nearly 300 pounds to vehicle weight, even with an engine that is 200cc larger, acceleration is no better than the 2016 HR-V. Honda eliminated paddle shifters, which are handy on mountain roads. The 2023 model is 11 inches longer and 2 inches wider, but thanks to getting rid of the "magic seats," it has less cargo room than the 2016 model, and gets worse gas mileage. What were Honda engineers thinking? I ended up buying a 2023 Kia Niro SX, which feels like a real 21st century automobile. It rides better and quieter, the seats are far more comfortable, it has more cargo volume, and gets ~70% better gas mileage. AND it has paddle shifters! I plan to keep my 2016 HR-V until it dies. UPDATE March 2025: Between 100,000 and 103,000 miles, the starter failed, and I had to replace both transaxles due to ruptured rubber boots. These were the only significant repairs since new. When I was a kid, cars had odometers that only went to 99,999 miles because nobody expected to last that long.

Underpowered!

I loved everything about the new HR-V except for the engine and price. It's severely underpowered and noisy and gets worse gas mileage than the 2022 model. When Honda offers the Civic 4 cylinder turbo engine and/or a PHEV version engine, it will be a significant improvement! Honda dropped the ball with no hybrid option, Toyota is way ahead offering customers what they want.
