Transmission failure

Bearing went out of transmission at 63K milles. Toyota would not warranty part due to it being 3K miles over 60K mile warranty. This is a common transmission issue on the C-HR that Toyota will not address. Please research before purchasing a C-HR.

Red ROCKET!

I was looking at all of the subcompact SUVs in it's class, and kept coming back to the C-hr. The styling was so difference from the others and I was stunned at how different the car looked from all sides. The appearance seemed to change as I walked around the car. I decided to take it for a test drive and I was HOOKED! This car has such a great "race like" suspension and incredibly nimble handling. It isn't a power house of an engine, but it gets up and goes, especially at freeway speeds..it is a little rocket! It fits me like a glove and I am 6'2" in height. I originally was looking for a commuter car, since my truck was costing me too much in fuel, but found a car that is sporty, reliable, a blast to drive, and clearly out-paces the competition. Regardless of what some of the reviews are stating, some of which are clearly biased, or those conducting the ratings lack any real talent, this is a great car for anyone looking for great fuel economy and an exciting ride.

A Flashy and Fun FWD Crossover

Had a chance to do an extended test drive of the Toyota C-HR and found it much better then many of the pundits have rated it. Overall its a very capable FWD crossover with great handling and comfort. I noticed no issues with acceleration and speed at all and found it right in line with any other compact car or SUV. I think the issue is many people see the styling and expect a race car experience when it's really a corolla in a different body. I drive a Mazda CX-3 AWD as my daily commuter and can say the C-HR definitely offers a more comfortable and stylish ride. The only knock I can put on the car is the terrible factory radio (easily replaced) and no hybrid or AWD version here in the US. I would expect both of these options will be added down the road which is why I'll probably wait to purchase one. Bottom line is if you are in the market for a smaller SUV and don't need AWD the C-HR should be one of the first vehicles you look into, it definitely does not disappoint.

Nameless

It doesn’t have built in Sirius or nav. You have to use your phone which eats data and batteries. It’s annoying but the car is so fantastic! I was looking at a RAV4 when I glanced over and it was love at first sight. Fun to drive, responsive steering and the safety features are seamless. Good job Toyota! Now, give it a sporty name!

Major windshield issues.

There are several complaints that can be found online regarding the windshield glass used for this vehicle. I have had the same issue with my 2018 CHR XLE. The tiniest rock/pebble causes the windshield to splinter out of control to where it can never be repaired. I have owned my CHR for only 8 months and have had to replace the windshield twice already. I am a cautious driver and don’t understand why this issue hasn’t been addressed by Toyota. Major flaw on their end and one customers have to deal with by filing several glass claims through their insurance. Not to mention the time it takes to replace and recalibrate every time. If this happens again I’m getting rid of this car.
