Love the HR-V 1999
Had the old HR-V from new, gave me excellent service, now on the 180,000km service is going to cost a bit as Honda say timing belt needs replacement at $600. Other then wear and tare all is good.

Unreal car
Love this car. Have owned one for 13 years. Never been a problem. If they still made them I would update to a newer model. If you look after your car you will get better performance. I did that and have had a great experience. The paint job looks as good as the day I bought it and it has never been garaged. I have had regular servicing and the motor still purrs like a kitten and i have done over 200,000km's. You don't see many of these cart for sale as people hang onto them as they perform well. When you do see one for sale it often has had only one owner. Speaks for itself me thinks.

Read the reviews and DON'T BUY
Yep just as the others said. Crappy gearboxes in these. Mine only had under 50,000 kms on the clock before failing, however I don't drive much, so was out of warranty. Honda's worst to date. Feels like a toy to drive.
Economical

Okay until it broke down
I also had a bad experience with the Honda HR-V. The gearbox ended up quitting after only around 110,000kms, making me wish i hadn't gone to the expense of the 100,000km service. I never missed a service on this car and treated her with much care.
I can't recommend this car.
Easy to Park
Not good quality at all

DON'T BUY THIS CAR
I owned the Honda HR-V continuous variable transmission 4WD for only 6 months. I wanted to get rid of it in the first week. The transmission had a surging feel to it when driving at slow speeds. This I could live with. However a few months down the track, the entire auto transmission failed. At a cost of $5000 to fix, I sold it to the wreckers.
The 2 glove boxes
Ugly, tinny, gutless up hills, expensive to fix. WORST CAR EXPERIENCE EVER

Excellent
The HR-V is a zippy little car, gets plenty of attention for its appealing look. Has all the usual reliable features, like really good air conditioner, easy to read dash, good handling, comfortable seats, good vision. I have always loved the reading lights, two glove compartments. Great fuel consumption. Fantastic reliable motor.
The HR-V has a distinctive exterior and the interior was ahead of its time. The driving position is great.
Nothing... Maybe downsizing boot size from CR-V and I miss the ergonomic in dash gear change.
