LOVE everything but the infotainment system

published

I'm about 5100km into this vehicle and it has ticked every box I need it for EXCEPT for the infotainment screen. It's laggy, you can't slide through your phone contacts because the screen is matte, it doesn't show contact names only the phone numbers. No digital radio either. GPS is pretty poor, I don't even use it. I've had a problem with my bluetooth cutting out while listening to music but the dealers can't seem to fault it. The audio on phone calls could be improved as well. Such a shame they didn't carry the speedo cluster and radio from the Civic or the CR-V. Would be perfect if they did. Poor from Honda.

Purchased in February 2021 at Essendon Honda for $32,000.00.

A nice car with a $20 nav radio and entertainment system

published

The motor car is fine, The GPS and radio system are frightening.
Screen can't be seen when the lights are on it . Very very mixed feelings on this car. The magic seats are a great help. We have two walkers and with shopping there is not to much help we can expect.

Okay, but some aspects are very poor.

published

I updated from a 2006 CR-V which was a fantastic car - hence we stuck with Honda. It is not a bad vehicle but it has a few things I do not like on this model...
*The angle of the A/V touchscreen is terrible. At certain times of the day the driver simply cannot read it and it does not adjust. Very frustrating!
*The arrangement/position of the button at the rear to open the trunk is also terrible. There are gaps and bumps everywhere as you feel for the button to open the trunk - it is a very poor design.
*The air-conditioner is weak. Our old 2006 CR-V is a lot colder and more effective - this HR-V's air-con system is a big step backwards.
*There is lots of road noise at high speed.

Like a Jazz on Wheels

published

Looking for a car with SUV features but small enough to jet around tight city traffic? This is the one! I absolutely love my car! I've owned it since 2015 and it's never given me problems. It's such low maintenance unlike my previous European car that would cost me close to 1K a year to service. I only paid 100 in my first year to service it! Also, super fuel efficient. Amazing boot space as well which makes it easy for me to transport all my gear when I do wedding styling. All round winner for me.

Best car owned

published

Tried a couple of different makes before purchasing the Honda HRV and what sold me was the size and how quiet it is. The only thing I found are that the seats are a little uncomfortable, but that may be due to the fact that I owned a ford xr6 previously and that had bucket seats. I have had no issues wth the car at all, running costs are amazing, a full tank of Petrol lasting a full month with regular use

attention to details

published

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.

Love this car!

published

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.

Purchased in January 2021.

GOOD CAR

published

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.

POOR GPS navigation system - otherwise a good car.

published

The car is roomy inside and love the flexible seating arrangement which allows you to carry a whole array of goodies. HOWEVER, I agree with some of the other comments. Extremely poor GPS system using a third party app called SYGIC which is so clunky and hard to use. I have used apple system in Hyundai which is far easier to use. NO excuse Honda - for such a poor system. Absolutely no excuse when some of your other models have better GPS systems. The other irritant is that the reversing cameral does not have sound. Again, given that this is in other competitor models in the same price range - poor form.

LOVE IT - Best car we have ever had

published

This is by far the best car we have ever had and we have had a few.
I drive long distances quite a bit and overall handling and drive is superb - great fuel economy (had a Honda Hybrid before this and this is much better).
My partner drives mostly around Sydney and finds it big enough to feel safe yet small enough to park easily and our mothers love it because its easy to get in and out of for older people.
Would recommend highly to people from all demographics and lifestyles.

very impressive honda!

published

Looked at almost every small/mid sized suv on the market then looked at one of these and was quite impressed. Very practical, I like how the rear seats fold 1000 different ways. Could do with a bit more front seat leg room for tall people but its more than enough for my partner and I. The exterior look fantastic, we got the blue which almost has a purple fleck through it in sun light. Its also quite good on fuel 7.5-8 mix of city and freeway.

Overall super happy with this car and will update my review in 6-12 months time.

This Micro SUV is the bees knees

published

Both wife and me like this vehicle for all purpose driving and the smart [up to date] technology/safety that it brings.
Looked around for similar comparisons and nothing in this class that has the size and efficiency to deliver in cost cutting.
Trouble is the wife likes it better CRV
