Fantastic and quiet.

published

The car is great, it speeds up quickly but is very quiet. The legroom is great and the dashboard is quite large. A tank of petrol easily outlasts a busy week of driving. The only downside is that its a bit too wide. However, the pros most definitely outweigh the cons!

Noisy drive
Faulty dash and seats. Made a buzzing a craky sound. Proven to exist but never fixed. Was treated like garbage
Very poor service from Westside Honda and Honda Australia.
Car was a dream purchase that turned into a nightmare.
Was fairly economical and looked great
Shame...
Buyer Beware

Love this car

published

We looked at several different models before settling on the HR-V. Definitely the nicest drive of all similar sized cars but doesn't feel ridiculously large to drive. When driving you feel like you're driving a normal car, not a massive truck which some other cars feel like. Really roomy for a family of 4. Only issue is you can only put 2 car seats in the back and there isnt enough room to sit a 3rd person between the seats as the car is too narrow. The cameras were a new feature from our old car but really something you cant live without, its so handy.

Love my new car!

published

Spent a fair bit of time researching a new car and settled on the Honda hrv based on reviews and price. Couldn't have been happy with the purchase, it is a smooth economical drive with great handling that makes driving fun.

Plenty of leg room and a great internal lay out mean I can fit a pram, shopping, pet crate, everything really with no problems at all. The heater works fast in the winter and the Ac works fast in the summer, what more could you want.

Costs very little to run, perfect new mum car, we have recommended it and two extended family Members have purchased based on our happiness.

New car

published

We bought the Honda HRV to replace a new Honda City. The car is so easy to get in and out off. Very good 3 way reversing camera with parking sensors. Very comfortable heated leather seats. Plenty of cup holders. The car has a very good turning circle so is good for around town or on a long drive with a very good drivers position.

Great car..

published

I have just invested in a Honda HRV.. well what a pleasure to drive ! If you're looking for a small / medium size SUV, this is perfect . This car is comparatively priced compared with other cars in its class, but offers the same, plus more features . The interior design is very comfortable, and has an array of different ways you can move the back seats to suit your needs. It would suit a Variety of people.. and is deceptively roomy. I love the safety features, with reverse sensors / camera, plus Left lane camera as well . Features are too numerous to name in a review, but I'd definitely say if your looking to buy a new car, this is one to look into ..

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.

Pretty good!

published

Driving experience is pretty good. Noise isn't loud and suspension is ok as long as you're not driving it for over 2 hours. Interior includes comfy seats and a screen with a rear camera. Bluetooth is included etc. Legroom is great and a dashboard is included. 100% relliable so far and running costs are standard. Pretty bad.

Honda HR-V

published

I have to say that being a Holden and Mazda owner in the past, Honda has surprised me. We bought the ex demo from Honda dealership and i have to say that i just love my car. So easy to drive and has alot of space for my kids. Love the reverse camera (my first car with reverse camera) and absolutely no issues with this car at all. Did the yearly services on time. And it hasnt been in the shop at all for any reasons. Its a great little SUV between a hatch back and full SUV .. i just love it. Runs very fuel efficient, i just run around town for errands, school runs and all that other stuff that families do and my fuel tank will last almost 2 weeks without needing to get more. Love Love.

not happy

published

we bought a brand new hrv in june 2015. it now has 7,000 kms on it. problems started 6 weeks ago when an oil leak was found. local honda dealer took the engine out to repair this leak. i was dreading this, as i thought it would be the start of problems. i was right. the car now has a vibration at low speed, and the auto has stopped working correctly. when the car is cold, the auto just changes up and down through the gears at random. honda australia is being zero help!!!!!! saying this is normal. when i said ok, why didnt it do this for the first 6,500kms, they have no answer.

A nice solid small SUV

published

A nice, solid little SUV that is great for a small family. Not the best drive in the world, but it ticks the boxes across the board for a good SUV that is a nice value. Solid features, a decent price, almost a 5 star car but it's missing just a couple of little things that make it a 4 star.

Love the HR-V

published

I have had this car 6 months now and love it. It is roomy inside, takes a double pram (Uppa Baby Vista) and weekly shopping load plus baby bags etc no issues. I have two carseats installed (safe and sound compaq) and could not fit another one across however can take another small adult passenger/ child in the middle.

Negatives: Aircon is very noisy when fan on full.

Positives: spacious, comfortable, easy to handle/ park, great safety features.

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.

HR-V

Hi I’ve purchased a new HRv RS model. This car suffers very badly of front end rattles worse on the drivers side. Handle bumps and Sydney roads well but ripples or waves in the bitumen just drives me crazy. Had back to Honda with dash resets and foamed and skittle plate replaced twice but still has that shitty noise. I’ve asked other drivers with the same model car and they say no! I’ve reported it to Hond Australia, and they say take it back to the dealer. I don’t wish to waste my or the dealers time, can anyone help me here or advise me on what to do. The car is coming up to 20000 in the first 12 months

Before you put the Navigator on make sure you switch it to bluetooth phone first. Then put the navigator on.

I did not ask about the phone; I wrote, "the radio" Thank you

To control your music selection, use the left side steering wheel control.
Up-down is for volume control.
left-right is for station selection when using radio.
Source button is used to select different input sources (radio, USB, Bluetooth.......)
