Almost perfect!
I bought my 2017 honda hrv 8 months ago and basically love the car. Even though it is a smaller size car, it is very roomy inside with very handy back seat configurations. It sits on 7litre per hundred fuel economy, unless I drive long distances then it's sits around 6.8. I've never struggled up hills and has a lot of power for the motor size. Comfortable seats and even though the black interior shows the dirt easily, it is also easy to clean with a warm damp cloth. Love the centre cup holders, they can be arranged to put tall or short bottle...Read more
s or cups in them. My negatives are the road noise, it's quite loud (don't know if different tyres would help). The air conditioner takes much longer to cool the car than other cars I've driven. The boot cover would be way better if it was retractable (as I've had in previous cars) instead of one that slides in. Dispite the negatives I would definitely buy another hrv.

Fantastic Car and great for learner drivers!
Purchased this car when trading in my old one and it is a serious upgrade! It has incredibly smooth driving and a good amount of in-car gadgets. (Not too many to distract p-platers or learners!) One fault for this car would be that the in-car GPS takes ages to configurate and often, on the road, will lose your route to configurate! The audio in the car is great with usb, aux and hdmi ports. It is decently fuel efficient and there is plenty of leg room, even in the back! Overall this is a greate sized car, easy to park and drive.

2017 Honda HRV
I like my Honda as I sit up a bit higher than in my old Mazda 3. It's not too big, easy to park and seems quite economical. I like the safety features such as camera when changing into left lane - very handy. It does not have a lot of oomph - but for me, just driving around, it is fine. I have driven it on the Hume and it travels very nicely.

responsive, Fast and Furious
bought this car to replace the 8 years old honda civic. was looking for a reliable, fast and fun to drive car that wont break your bank. after 2 months of research and test drive, decided on honda HRV and hasnt look back since. its economic to run, fuel consumption about 6L /100km, very responsive and has all the bell and whistle like rear camera, bluetooth despite the prices tag.

Ok car for the price, could be better
Small SUV, biggish back seat but boot space it tiny, but has magic seats. Driving is smooth, with great turning circle. Rear camera is good tho I don't like using it. Navigation system freezes sometimes especially if you are changing between audio modes - radio to bluetooth to aux. AC is good, nice airflow. Works well in 35+ degree days in perth. unsure about heater setting.
Overall it is just an ok car.

Shocking A/C = not cold at all
The A/C in my Honda HRV is shocking if the weather in Melbourne gets over 30 its like a hot box.
Ive had it back to Honda 5 times and they cant fault it. I WOULD NOT BUY THIS CAR if you want to be kept cool in the summer months

Honda Reliability
Great value SUV. Best head room in back seat. Love the “magic seats” which fold up to give amazing and easily accessible space. Have recently driven to Sydney and had an excellent, comfortable trip. Very classy looking- even has a hidden backdoor handle. Handles very well- cruise control easy to use. Highly recommend.

Great car
Very happy with this SUV. Good visibility with rear cameras and sensors except the lane watch camera is a bit unsafe as it requires you to analyse the screen and take your eyes off the road. It has large boot capacity compared to other SUVs I researched and Hondas magic seats are really useful.

attention to details
I really appreciate the attention to details from Honda compare to other manufacturers they also really good with all the gadgets fittings which are very helpful when driving. two complaints I have one is the entertainment unit, the sound quality from speakers was the worst I had in any car also the Notice button I sold press each time I turn it on is really a pain also very distracting when driving as you really need to concentrate to touch the small ok button on the screen. other complaint I have is about the metal used in the body which is very thin so that it dents so easily and the paint work is so weak it chip too easy. but if you can live with these overall the positives in this car really outnumber the negatives.

I made the right choice!
After much research of all comparible models, I bought my HR-V 3 months ago. Have driven over 4000 km with mix of town, highway, long distance and short... So far, so happy with my choice.
Highlights are the cabin/cargo space, ride height, reversing camera options, Bluetooth quality, fuel efficiency, brake assist, auto lights and wipers and the list just goes on... Absolute favourite is the lane-view camera! So very happy I went with the "older" model without gps as I have not missed that at all. (The couple of times I have needed a map, I ...Read more
just use google maps on a camera mount with audio instructions still coming through the car speakers). My only niggles have been that the black interior shows every speck of dust and pet hair. Also I found the backrest of the front seats have deep sides and I have needed to add some lumbar support to be comfortable on longer trips. Oh... And the shade cloth cargo cover is not great and I would have liked a full sized spare... Will most likely buy one to replace the space saver as I will be doing some remote road trips... All in all... Made the best choice for my needs and budget and even got some fancy features thrown in... Would definitely recommend this vehicle...Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Bad satellite navigation system n car audio system
Got a bad experience with the sat Nav and sound system ofHonda Hrv 2017 base model
Bought the new model in July 2017 as my work car which I drive about 10-12 hours a day
The navigation screen firstly disappears when you make a call using Bluetooth leaving you no idea about the directions as you can see only the caller details n if you want to see the sat Nav you have to disconnect the Bluetooth else the sat Nav will not be displayed
The sat Nav doesn't give real time to destination as it just calculates 1km per 1min no matter what roads yo...Read more

This car's ADAS and 5 star ANCAP safety rating makes it a perfect mid-size SUV
Not too sure about getting this car at first but can't fault this model and all the technology Honda has put into it. Bought the 2016 top of the line HRV, complete with the panoramic sunroof, magic leather seats and metallic paint. Quite impressed with the ADAS or Advance Driver Assist System which includes a lane departure warning camera on the left side mirror which allows you to view the lane you will be moving into before you signal, a forward collision warning based on travel at 15km/hr and high beam support system. It also has other usefu...Read more
l technology such as the CBAS or city brake active system, a VSA or vehicle stability assist which helps detect the driving course and prevents oversteering and reducing engine power to manage braking pressure when required, a tire deflation warning and HSA or hill start assist which prevents rollback when you put the handbrake off in an incline. The fuel efficiency is great around 12-13km/L consumption of unleaded 91 petrol. This car can do uphill driving without losing power even when there's 4 people on-board. I really like the versatility of the magic seats, the bigger boot space compared to other cars of similar size and the easy way to drive it and park it. Few things for improvement is the insulation on the doors, they're quite thin compared to the holden trax door insulation, it makes it look not-so-top-of-the-line. And the leather seats is just in black, no other option.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love this car!
I really do love this car. It is easy to drive, easy to park and extremely comfortable. We drove from the Hunter Valley to Adelaide & the car was very economical on fuel. We also have two car seats in the back & they fit comfortably. I am very happy with the amount of room in the back as well.

GOOD CAR
family always have honda car it lasted over 40 years until father pass away, then mum decided to get a small car.
i own a honda jass, but had a bad car accident in oct 2016, got written off.
decided to get another honda, since the honda jass saved my life.
i dont want another small car, and cant afford big car either. so HRV fit perfectly in the category.
nice car to drive around.

HRV VTI
Car is excellent. Very comfortable seats even over long journeys eg Sydney - Melbourne. Quiet on most surfaces and soaks up bumps. Would recommend to anyone. Sound system does not have android connectivity. Love the way seat can be folded down to make big space in rear. Car is white.

Love this car
I've owned the HRV for 18mths and at writing this has 23k on the clock. I purchased new and was the first Honda and first new car I've owned. I've been really happy. Its so versatile and roomy. The magic seats are awesome for shopping, bulky items, pets and kids. I use them all the time.
We have taken weekend family trips in this car (2A 2C) and it's been comfortable. I've had adults in the back and all comment on the leg room. It's a zippy easy car to drive and awesome on fuel. I average 7L/100k. The reversing camera is fantastic but the audio/phone connection is clunky. The soft cargo blind is annoying but quickly slides into to the back of the seat slots when you remove it. Overall love this car so much.

Love It
Best little SUV, roomy and extremely fuel efficient. I can fit everything in there from a huge TV to the whole family including the dog. It fits into any car space and is super comfortable. This car is great. Good vision and reverse camera is fantastic. Lots of room in the back and boot.

The cruise control randomly turns itself off. This has been happening for several months and the Honda dealer in Darwin is still working with Honda Australia but no solution. Has anyone else had this problem?

Can u tell me please if the 2022 HRV-RS comes with driving auto door locking ...it says in the book the doors lock when the vehicle reaches 15km per hour...mine doesn’t lock and the service department said it doesn’t come with this feature...it doesn’t say that in the book though
3 answers
The answer to my above question above is no it doesn't...not in Australia anyway
I have one too and mine doesnt lock automatically, my previous version did that was a 2016 model, also no CD player, very poor I wish I had kept my old one to be honest, it had electric seats to. Very disappointed with this RS model.
It would take more than no auto door locking for me to dislike this car...its absolutely beautiful..the inside it finished lovely and the car glides along like a dream..Im getting 6.7 litres for 100 km and thats around town so its great on fuel, ..Ive had a couple of brake issues with it, they machined the brakes but they stilled grabbed a bit so Honda are replacing all the rotors and pads next Thursday...Honda have given me a 7 year warranty unlimited kms and road side assist and capped servicing so I really haven't got anything to complain about ...I would definitely recommend this car, I really gave all the cars in this bracket a good going over before settling for this one, I thought it was the best value out there for my money and so far Im not disappointed...I did know about it not having a CD player that is disappointing I agree.

Why would my brake assist activate intermittently when there is no car in front of me, pulls me up suddenly on major road? Has anyone else experienced this in recent model Honda HRV??
3 answers
I have a 2018 model HR-V S I do not have that problem, I wonder if I will ?. I WOULD have it straight back to HONDA ASAP,.
Haven’t had this problem, however I’d return to Honda for rectification immediately.
It’s with Honda at the moment but they don’t seem clear as to what’s causing it. I’m keen to know if any one else has experienced this problem & what was done to fix it, or even if it can be fixed. It’s clearly very dangerous when the car pulls up suddenly on a highway!
