[@leebee1100]

F Hicks shit just got real. Seriously though I completely agree. If you were going to buy this car for it’s manual transmission and ... driving dynamics? ... i think you’d be better served looking somewhere else. Considering it has a TINY inline 4 that is moving around a high center of gravity subcompact crossover it makes absolutely no sense that the lack of a manual transmission in this car would be a deal breaker. People who drive this type of vehicle don’t care about the engine, the transmission, or the suspension. They just want to push a pedal and move forward reliably. The person who commented above this is the perfect target market/age group (no offense). Long story short don’t stress out that the manual is gone because it secretly did you a favor. It prevented you from buying a subcompact suv with a manual transmission that is slower (slower than the automatic), gets worse gas mileage, and body rolls like a barge around corners. Side note, people who hold on stubbornly to manual transmissions and act like they are the only way to enjoy driving confuse me. Your friend needs to move your car out of the driveway? They fuck up the clutch operation and accidentally smash into your car/garage because no one knows how to drive them anymore (happened to me). You need a DD after a night of partying? No one knows how to drive your car and even if you are the DD, the constant back and forth rocking that happens when you’re shifting is either going to make your friends puke on the way home (happened to me) or you’ll be driving home alone. You want to valet park your car so you and your date can go right to dinner? Adding more complexity that a valet needs to handle is a recipe for disaster and/or a ruined clutch (happened to me). My friends : is it faster than an automatic? No, it’s actually a second slower 0-60. Well ... it was cheaper then, right? Nah, it was almost the same for an automatic. Is it ... fun or something? Yeah it was at first, but during the 90% of driving where you’re in the city or commuting it’s sort of cumbersome especially when everyone around you has an automatic and rides your ass as you are shifting as fast as humanly possible. Is it more efficient or something? No, you get worse, sometimes much worse gas mileage than automatics. Why the hell did you buy that then? Because it’s fun on back roads sometimes.

[@Windmill97]

CVTs worry me as far as longevity is concerned. Conversely, Honda manual transmissions are bullet-proof. I agree with Battossi. Give us a manual transmission option.

[@yeahboiii6640]

@@Windmill97 Couldn't agree more. ANYONE that knows anything about cars realizes that manual transmissions last forever because they are splash lubed versus the narrow channels of an automatic where things get choked off. Offer a manual option. These automatic CVTs are prone to issues. I cringe when I hear automatic CVT. Edit: I will say however that Toyota of course has done very well with the automatic CVT but its Toyota they know what they are doing and actually care about what they are doing versus Nissan which has the worst CVT! Hondas are ok with them but nothing can beat the durability of the manuals.

The only problem with the CVT is you can't use for sport car. By example doing great acceleration from total stop. It is so slow and noise. Also, it easier to break. But for normal consumers it is so great. It make lower gas consumption and make the engine work comfortable.

I brought it back to Huntington Honda twice and they said they test drove 2 other new HRVs and they made the same horrible noise. So I'm basically told this is normal on all HRVs.

Did a KZbin search to figure out how to recalibrate the TPMS system in my Honda 2019 HR-V. Came upon this video and really enjoyed it. Micah was so right about the maneuvering ability of the car. This is a great city car for tight parking and getting into very very small garages typical in cities in the northeast. My street is a narrow, 2 side-of-the-street parallel parking, with cars right up to the edges of my garage. I can easily just turn right into my garage with no inching back and forth. I am far from a "car person" but my one requirement was this feature. This car is also my 6th Honda and I my first with an automatic transmission. I miss the manual transmission but the car is just GREAT.

[@soilmanted]

Yes of course the CVT brings the engine up to full RPM when you put the throttle pedal all the way down. That's the way you get maximum acceleration out of the vehicle. With a properly working CVT the engine RPMs will sit statue-still at near redline - until the vehicle speed reaches the speed you want. Then you take your foot off of the throttle pedal and the engine speed falls to the most efficient engine speed for the vehicle speed. Most people DO put the throttle to the floor when merging onto a limited access highway. At least, that's what anyone would any sense would do. This gives you the best chance of getting from the ramp into a driving lane, without forcing another driver to move over, slow down, or endure having her vehicle be smacked by your vehicle. Unless the limited access highway is nearly empty, this is the only way to merge.

[@gibby237]

I guess I've been doing it wrong. I haven't had to floor my car to merge into traffic in 30 years. Not once.

[@soilmanted]

@@gibby237 In 55 years, I have never merged onto a limited access highway using any other method, when rolling with a vehicle with an automatic transmission. While my own cars have always had low power-to-weight ratios, and most have had manual transmissions, I have done the same thing when rolling in over-powered Ford Crown Victoria monsters. In order for me to get my drivers license at age 17, my state required a driver's education course. This was the method they taught: put the pedal to the metal. The idea is to avoid disrupting the existing traffic on a crowded highway, getting into the rightmost lane on a jam-packed highway without forcing the vehicles that are already in the rightmost lane to slow down, or move to the left. Pedal to the metal. With a typical planetary gearset automatic transmissions with a torque converter, if you put the pedal to the metal the transmission suddenly drops down to the lowest possible gear. On low-traffic highways it might not be necessary, but when everyone is rolling along at maximum legal speed or more, and everyone is following the vehicle ahead of them at the shortest safe distance for their speed, or following even closer, this is the way to do it; it's the way that expert drivers recommend. I am not saying I am an expert driver. I am saying I follow their recommendations in this instance. Even with a manual transmission - I keep the vehicle in the lowest gear possible, and the widest throttle. On a highway with few vehicles and large distances between vehicles, it is not really necessary, but it is fun to do anyway. With a CVT you don't feel jolts from gear changes, like you do with a planetary gearset automatic, and you don't hear the engine gaining speed in each gear. These seem to be some of the things that cause people to feel that the vehicle is accelerating. Only the vehicle gains speed, not the engine. So with a CVT you get less of a SENSATION of accelerating.

What about a back up camera?

[@alexjohn5251]

[@Lamar-zx5tp]

@Jonathan A The Crosstrek does actually have more power.

[@skipper5951]

Jonathan A It doesn't matter what you've been in. The Crosstrek does, in fact, have more power, 141hp vs 152hp. Just because you didn't notice doesn't mean you can start debating facts.

[@skipper5951]

Stop being so sensative. You make inaccurate statements and argue with people, and then you get mad after being corrected.

[@jacobhandel5750]

@Jonathan A Everything in that segment of vehicle is slow, but it's all relative. If you look at Motor Trend and Car and Driver testing of the Crosstrek and the AWD version of the HR-V, the Crossteks average around half a second faster acceleration. You might not feel that kind of acceleration different, but is this a measurable difference that an average buyer would want noted. I don't know why you're trying to deny that.

[@Lamar-zx5tp]

@Jonathan A As mentioned, it's relative, but it's not insignificant or even unnoticeable. Your butt dyno is obviously broken. Our family (both immediate and extended) have both the Crosstrek Premium 6-speed and an HR-V AWD EX-L w/CVT. The Crosstrek has noticeably more usable power. Power is just slightly more than adequate for highway merges, but it's comfortably more than adequate for everything else thanks to greater mid-rage torque. The car never has trouble passing on highways, even in top gear, or zipping through city streets, and it did amazingly well on a trip to Colorado recently. It was actually pretty fun to drive. In comparison, the HR-V just doesn't perform as well. I know, the Crosstrek's 6-speed kind of makes the comparison unfair, but I've also driven the CVT Crosstrek, and I'd still say the same.

I'm gonna buy this car just because the T-1000 said the front passenger leg room is OK.

[@captinbeyond]

Given a choice, I'd trade all the crap they stick on like lane departure warning, auto braking, that I don't want and trade that for 50 more horsepower.. You need at least 200 HP to maneuver on the roads safely. And keep the turbos as well.

For the price, you can't beat the HR-V, plus it's a Honda, so you know it's going to be reliable.

Call it a CUV then if you’re so angry

I mean it's a cross between a car and an SUV so by definition it is a crossover.

Honda need to make the hrv a little bit longer with a little bit more ground clearance or just make a new suv that slots between the hrv and the crv. Preferred measurements 176 inch lenght, 7 inch ground clearance. I know it will be a hot seller.
