Bought my Honda HR-V 5 door A VTI-L in July 2017. The car itself is great, good size, roomy and easy to manoeuvre. However, the GPS tracking is a real letdown, especially for a woman. In the first twelve months of ownership it was refurbished. In the second year the car was fitted with a new updated GPS and now into its third year it still does not guide me in the right direction. Response time is slow. Have already driven past a turn before it informs me. Will tell me to turn when I am driving on a freeway where there is no turn. Tells ...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

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

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

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

I bought this car as i love Hondas and i have had 2 Other Honda Civics.

I took the car to a dealer in Rosebury for my first service, they informed me of an oil leak that will take 2 days to fix.

This actually took 2 weeks, i complained so much to Honda but all they could offer was extended warranty, still it's better than nothing.

Not having a native GPS in this car is just ludicrous, I spent nearly $200 on the cable kit to use my phone and the Hondalink Application but it was so bad i stopped after 2 attempts.

Now at least Honda learnt it was rubbish and have changed to Sygic, unfortunately even Sygic doesn't work for me as the car doesn't recognise my phone anymore (I haven't changed my phone since i bought the car)

We purchased the VTi-L with the modulo sports kit because we liked the sporty look and wanted the sunroof. This car is surprisingly smooth for a 1.8L engine. It lacks high end power but for day to day driving its adequate with average fuel efficiency of 9L/100km (city driving). Engine noise is noticeable during acceleration but not loud. The car is very roomy inside compared to other competitors (Mazda CX3 and Nissan Qashqai). The wife finds the Honda HRV drive very pleasant and loves the additional sensors, cameras, features & integrated techn...Read more

The ratings for this model are inaccurate as the 1999 model is completely different to the latest model. I purchased mine 4 months ago. I was deciding between a Mazda CX3 or this one. The Mazda's cabin was a let down so it was down to this beauty. It's is the VTi-L model (I wanted the sunroof and the sports' wheels) in carnelian red. I absolutely love everything (except for the fact that it doesn't have built in GPS but that's ok when you've got Metroview on your iPhone). It's a complete package and the magic seats give it so much room at the b...Read more
