Took delivery of mine last month and I love it. Everything you said in your review was spot on. Refined, quiet, economical has more than enough power for every day use and when did you last get a flat tyre anyway. Personally me in my last car 2 flats in 100K.

I have just brought one, the most important aspect for me (I have medical issues with my legs) was getting in and out and being comfortable when Im driving. I would of preferred a Toyota but I tried a Rav 4 and Yaris Cross and I had difficulty getting in and out, with getting older it will only get harder. Any other cars that might been as suitable were out of my budget

Yes! Who cares that it’s only a four seater? Agree with what you said and people wanting to squeeze five people into a small car/suv should consider a larger car. This gen HR-V is surprisingly good.
@kenphillips7594Ай бұрын
What is really insane is that it's four seats and that it's underpowered as a naturally aspirated 1.5l in the base model. There's plenty of room under the bonnet to give it a turbocharger but instead it's a slug that, mechanically, is the same as the 2023 and 2024 models.

Seating capacity was a deal breaker on the previous version, which is why I bought the CX-30. I'm glad the new HR-V doesn't give me buyers remorse. I love this car so much, but 4 seats is crazy.
@ziva0881Ай бұрын
If I understand you correctly, the CX-30 has more space in the back?
@dewanfourie9156Ай бұрын
@ziva0881 I can't imagine so. The cx-30 has 3 seats, but very little space in the back. I would not consider it if you were to frequently transport adults in the back. I would not be surprised if the HR-V has more space, but it doesn't have a centre safety belt, so the space is useless.
@trentbosnicАй бұрын
Don't get a compact SUV if you want 3 seats in the back, they offer a miserable experience for the middle passenger. Honda has done it right.
@dewanfourie9156Ай бұрын
@@trentbosnic I completely disagree. Firstly, this wasn't Honda's decision. They were forced to not have a middle seat due to ADR. Secondly, children can use the middle seat very conformably, and adults can use it uncomfortably when you're in a pinch. Saying that you cannot use the middle seat anyway is pure unadulterated cope.
@trentbosnicАй бұрын
@ Each to their own I guess! If I needed a third child in the back I would rather get a regular sized SUV designed to transport them, particularly thinking about longer haul trips with luggage, no car this size is going to work for 3 kids. Personally, I would pay more to just have 2 bigger seats in the back and give more comfort for 2 kids… cars this size are clearly not intended for large families, nor should they be.

Awesome review - just a heads up that it has a really unique teabag mission with no gears or planetary gears. Essentially the drive is fully electric from pull away, all the way to top speed, which is why you get such good torque and such a smooth drive. The engine only melanins mechanically drives the wheels at highway cruising.
@AD-zy4qwАй бұрын
