Used 2023 Honda HR-V Consumer Reviews
Seat Height Dilemma
I recently leased a 2023 Honda EXL. After extending my 2019 HRV lease a year to wait for the newly designed model, I admittedly did not test drive before leasing. As soon as I left the dealer to drive home I noticed the driver's seat, at its highest height, was not high enough for me. At 5' 6" I am not short. I was surprised that a power seat would be limited as to how high it would go. I immediately called the salesman, service department, and Honda directly. Unfortunately, they could not assist and indicated that the new model is being made to give the lower feel of a car. I don't understand why with a power seat the driver is given limitations as to how high the seat will adjust. Because of this I had to purchase a cushion and therefore cannot use the heated seat function. In addition, the passenger front seat is also very low, with no option to adjust height, and there is no handle above the seat to assist a passenger getting out of the car. Bottom line, for the duration of my lease (another 33 months) I will have to adjust a cushion every time I get into the car, and my front seat passenger will likely comment that they feel like they're sitting on the rode. Other than that, the vehicle has a sleek, modern look with a spacious interior for a subcompact SUV. My suggestion, be sure to test drive no matter what, you never know what feature may just not be right for you.

Buyer beware - no support from Honda
We received our 2023 hr-v in September, 3 months after ordering it as promised. A car pulled out in front of us causing an accident December 14th. We still don't have our hr-v back. Honda can not supply replacement seatbelts for the car. It's been almost 6 months! Honda has escalated our seatbelts to "critical" in their supply chain but still have NO ESTIMATE as to when the parts will be available. I keep getting the same run around when I call. The local dealer now has over 50 new hr-v's on the lot. Honda is obviously prioritizing new car production and their profit margin at the expense of current owners. My family has owned over 20 Hondas among my parents and sister's families. We will no longer be purchasing any Honda products. I can't speak to the pros or cons of the vehicle as we've only driven it 1500 miles in 8 months of ownership due to Honda's inability or unwillingness to support us despite our long term support of them.

Strong little SUV
Love my car! Pick up is amazing for a 4 cylinder. Picks up is much better than a 4 cylinder Camry I purchased previously
Amazing little CUV packed with standard features!
First off test drive it yourself and don’t listen to the people saying it’s extremely slow because it isn’t. I have a 2023 HRV sport trim and it’s loaded with tons of features as standard. I’m talking adaptive cruise control, lane departure, road departure mitigation, frontal collision avoidance, pedestrian front and rear cross traffic warning , rear back up camera with different angles/views, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic lights with automatic dimming, heated front cloth seats with sport copper accent stitching, black painted 18 rims with a more sporty design than the ex/ EXL trims. In other words it’s packed to the brim with features I’m leaving several out because it has so many all of them are standard too. The only thing that I really don’t like about it is the lack of rear ac vents or a center folding arm rest for the back passengers, granted it’s usually just me driving by myself. As far as driving is concerned it’s smooth, fairly quiet, extremely fuel efficient I have a lead foot and am getting on average 31.4 city and 40+ hwy cruising around 55 to 65mph. On the interstate driving 70 to 85 mph i average 34.2 mpg needles to say I’m blown away by the performance and fuel efficiency. Mine is just the standard front wheel drive I didn’t get AWD because here in the south it’s a complete waste of money so if you go with AWD expect lower fuel mileage and higher maintenance costs than the standard FWD configuration. 0 to 60 times are no race car however it’s adequate and if already moving going from like 30 mph to 70 it’s pretty quick. Not going to lie the only time it sounds loud and buzzy is when you’re really deep into the throttle driving normally it’s quite. Overall it’s hard to beat for the standard features to price ratio and Honda reliability reputation. If taken care of and properly maintained this HRV should easily last 200 to 350 thousand miles easily 10 to 15 years. Insurance in my case atlest is cheaper because of all those standard safety features. I almost forgot about the keyless proximity fob, push button, advanced lock options, advanced rolling down of windows with the fob, and remote start standard for sport trims and EXL trims. The same features minus remote start are standard for the base lx trim. Update 7 k miles later still loving this little cross over!

HRV
Nice car, the only thing to point is that the ride is somewhat noisy specially above 60 miles in highway!.
