Purchased the 2016 HRV and drove 4000 km so far. I use this car almost every day for short commutes to work and errands. Fuel economy isn't too great (avg. 10.5L/100km) even with ECON mode. The car itself looks nice, especially the front and sides but the rear looks weird... Would prefer a more bold and sharp look there. It was also weird to see plastic wrapping still intact in the small crevices on the doors.

My favourite features would be the effortless steering and audio system. Audio is loud and crystal clear via a Bluetooth connection....Read more

I collected my brand new Honda HRV a week before Xmas 2018, so it's still very new. I drive my car on a daily basis commuting to work and for general 'running around' and I've been really happy with the way it drives. So far the air conditioner has been good and I've found the petrol consumption for city driving, very economical.
What has been really disappointing about this car is the audio/navigation system and this is why I believe the car only deserves 3 stars, as I consider the audio/nav system an important feature.
1) The angle of the ...Read more

We wanted a small to medium sized multi purpose vehicle able to accommodate two to five persons,but with the largest volume of cargo space possible & still be suitable for city stop & start driving as well as long trips & the occasional dirt road adventure.The price had to be under $35K with five star safety ratings,reasonable servicing costs, good fuel consumption,& good to drive in comfort in any weather with mininum motor & road noise.Also had to be a long standing known & trusted brand with reputable agents to deal with servicing & any pro...Read more

The car is great. Nice high ride position. Good fuel economy and performance. It has the best load capacity and flexiblity of all cars in its class.
The tech offering in the car is very poor. I had a ten year old car with better phone connectiviity and GPS. The unit only allows connection of one phone and often needs to be re-paired using Bluetooth. The GPS is slow to obtain a signal and often loses signal. Route planning does not select the quickest route and almost always selects for freeway and toll road travel. The red light camera warning...Read more

I have a 2017 HR-V, purchased Jan 18, after previously owning a Mazda CX5 diesel. The car is fine, economy as stated on the label, spacious and reliable. My two complaints are first, the hand's free phone is dreadful. There seems to be a single microphone which is on the navigation system, so if I'm driving fast (road noise) or have the aircon on - no-one can hear me. I drive 500-1000km per week, so it is really important for me to have a decent hand's free phone. Honda tried to fix it once, but it made no difference.

My second big concern ...Read more

Bought a HR-V 2017 build, and was pleasantly surprised on how spacious it is. It can definitely be used for a family car. Boot space is big enough for a large pram. It is pleasant to drive, but the steering wheel is a bit stiff (coming from Nissan).

The car however, is quite low and you would have to duck a fair bit to get inside. One thing that I dislike is the position of the navigation system: it is barely legible under the sunlight, and the in-built navigation system is definitely feels like an afterthought. Unfortunately there wasn't an...Read more

When I bought my VTi I didn’t want all the features that came with the VTi-L but added those I did want, leather interior (was able to choose the light colour to match the ceiling), window weather trims, floor mats ( should come with them I think!) a tow bar, reverse sensors and tinted windows. Absolutely love it, the cabin space roomy, the back seat configuration options very useful, it handles very well and is very manoeuvrable.
My only negatives are the navigation system would be better - if you could plug in google maps via a mobile phone ...Read more

Bought my Honda hrv vti-l a year ago and really enjoy driving it, it’s smooth and the handling is great as it should be for a 38k+ luxury car.

The look is the main reason I picked it as I like the look of this suv over some others, the interior is good especially the leather, only negative is the built in gps is useless and I don’t even tend to use it at all. The extras with luxury is handy like the emergency break and the sensors making driving super easy and safe.

It’s so far been reliable but only around a year in so we will see how it...Read more

Took delivery december 2017. Still love it. Chose the hrv as it had the biggest boot space out of the cars I looked at, most leg and head room in the back seat and these were important as I have growing children. My 18 year old nephew who is 6 foot came with me on delivery, sat in the back and said "it's got more room back here than mums asx (purchased Sept 17).

Fuel economy is great, I get about 720kms per tank (49 litres) which is about 6.8l/100km, mix of city and country driving.

While seats have no adjustable lumbar support, they a...Read more

I bought the HR-V for $25,000 driveaway with floor mats, a full tank of fuel, Honda's 7 year warranty and free 7 year premium roadside assist.

First, the positives: My old car was a Hyundai i20 3 door 1.4 litre manual, so I am loving the increased space. It has a 1.8litre which is the same as the Toyota Corolla; this does enhance fuel efficiency as compared to other SUVs, so that's a plus point. Finally, Honda is built well so this car will last 15 years easily with proper servicing (in terms of reliability, the order goes as follows: Toyota, ...Read more
