HRV is actually a really solid and decently powerful vehicle
Helpful tip: If you want to accelerate quickly with a CRV, don’t just stomp on the gas. Instead, press smoothly and evenly on the gas pedal. You will feel when you’re getting maximum acceleration and you won’t over-rev the engine.
Another tip: If you’ve got a CRV, you can get better fuel economy by feathering the gas pedal - it’s counter-intuitive and the opposite of what you do with a normal automatic transmission, but it works. My car has a little graphic that shows me the instantaneous fuel consumption, and I like to play a little game by taking my foot off the gas when I’m up to speed or coming to a red light and watching the fuel consumption rate drop right down. Try it yourself on your next test drive.
Not being able to burn rubber and drive like an assassin is not a negative in my book.

@@everymandriverCan you sub to that site?
Thanks for the shoutout Dave! I love the space and magic seats of the HR-V but definitely understand your complaints! Sweet toys by the way
I really like mine. Road trips are a bliss and fuel economy is acceptable for me. Power is low but enough to get you around reliably with no drama. For me it was the hardest part to get used to since I was stepping down from a 3.5 Altima. Anyway if you're thinking about getting one of these you won't regret it.
From personal experience, the HRV is a great choice for a younger driver. They get all the features, reliability., MPG and safety but the engine doesn't allow them to get into trouble with racing and speeding. We live in MN and purchased the AWD version. We have had no issue with snow. We also drove the HRV on the highway for about 4 hours and it did great and had enough engine to pass without issue. The engine, once up to speed, quiets down considerably. With that said, IMO the HRV is more of a teen/first car or an empty-nester choice. Keep in mind, for a teen driver, that the under-powered engine means the insurance rates are lower than those for a more powerful vehicle. Lastly, the magic seats are phenomenal.
Cringe normie.
Thanks for your opinion, I’ll look into this car and had no idea of the limited speed
100+ mph in a Sportscar is the same 100+ mph in an HR-V 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@KevinJDildonik yup the storage and seating is ample and the magic seats are a good invention 👍. Also I have no issues speeding into freeways and passing others easily using S mode
MN here as well, and got a 2018 AWD HRV lease @ $249/mo I turned my 2017 Malibu fleet car (more like threw the keys at them). It did fantastically this past winter and there’s a definitive advantage over FWD. I’m nowhere near an empty nester and this little SUV fits the bill well. Our other car is a 2018 highlander which is fantastic but $500 more a month!! Ouch
this is not a sports car. flooring the gas pedal from the get go wont do anything. slowly step on the gas pedal instead, youll have different result. and ones you are within 50 you can floor it and it will accelerate as you want it. and also if your too big for this car then dont buy it. buy an american car instead if your knee keeps hitting the steering wheel🤭
We owned a 2016 HRV EX AWD and it wasn't a 'bad' vehicle. In fact, we had zero issues in the 6 years we owned it other than the gas cap seal drying out and triggering a warning light. We just grew tired of the lethargic acceleration and spartan interior.
Hi, I’m 6’4” with long legs and just test drove the 2019 HRV. When I adjusted the seat and pumped the seat all the way down, I couldn’t get my knees to hit the shifters unless I adjusted the steering wheel almost all the way down. So I’m not sure about the issue in the video.
I was very impressed with the roominess in this crossover. While this vehicle isn’t the fastest horse out of the gate, it’s certainly not the slowest. There is some CVT drone when you mash on it, but it’s not objectionable compared to other CVT equipped vehicles. For someone looking for a SUV but doesn’t want a larger one, this crossover is very practical and reasonably priced vehicle with exceptionally good safety features.
Yeah...why didn't the reviewer just tilt the steering wheel up further, or move his seat back to drop his knees down. Really 🤔
@@53glowe rear facing child seat was touching the driver seat, no way to move back farther
b1riley1000 - There is a way...
Move the baby seat behind the passenger seat.
The driver will be able to look at his little boy
from time to time.
He said he had long knees though
In person, the HRV looks stylish and trendy. I purchased a Honda after viewing a Honda review from Everyman Driver back in January 2019.
So how do u like your HRV......I was thinking of trying to pick up a used one.
Can u tell me 2 things u LOVE about the HRV and 2 things you'd like to improve or change?
Thanks!
@@motorcitymanman7711 Two years in with my 2019 FWD Ex and there are so many things I love I couldn't stop at just two:
1. Responsive handling - fun to drive. Don't drive aggressively, so the fact that the HRV doesn't lead the pack in horsepower is of no consequence to me.
2. Great cargo room with easy to adjust seating configurations.
3. Rear and blind spot cameras that are worth their weight in gold The rear camera is most helpful for backing out of a parking space when your vision of passing vehicles is obscured by the cars parked beside you. And the blind spot camera is simply a game changer.
4. The sportier look achieved by adding color matched side moulding and crossbars.
Two minor things I'm not crazy about would be:
1. The location of the USB ports, they're hard to access under the dash.
2. The honeycomb patterned oil dipstick is harder to read than the old school dipsticks with Full & Add lines.
my aunt has one and I found it lacking square footage on paper is not the same as real life. is actually smaller than the element with usable square footage. the soul beat the element because they made the price too high.
I have a 2018 H-RV EX and I love it! Great gas mileage. Lots of room. No issues with noise.
Me too! I agree with you .... no issues.
If you get a chance and read this I'd appreciate a response ... my questions are 1.- what engine do you have , and 2.- what is your gas milage ??? ... thanks ...
@@danc.2457 1.8 litre. Average gas mileage 7.3 litres per 100 km over 45,000 km
@@tigercat53 ... hey thanks for the info. , I'll have to use a calculator to covert that into gal. and mph. , can't do it in my head , but great , thanks again ...
@@tigercat53 ... great , your converted fuel use is 32.22 mpg , that's great ... we recently purchased a 2021 CR-V EX with the 1.5L /turbo and we've been averaging 33.4 mph so far at almost 3k mi. ... on mostly hwy road trips like 50-150 mi. using ECON and cruise control we got 37.8 and 38.3 mph ... I almost went for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid but we hardly ever do any inner city stop and go traffic light type driving ... very satisfied with the Honda so far ... thanks again for your input ...
Oh forgot to mention , rented a Ford Fusion hybrid (full size) car for a couple weeks awhile back , it got 47 mpg ... was tempting to buy a new one instead of the Honda ... really didn't want the huge cost of battery replacement 90-100k down the road though , also think that fact alone kills any resale value ...
I own 2016 HRV and drive this thing everywhere. I drove from Ohio to NYC, 500 miles trip and it did just fine not a single complaint. Very reliable, comfortable and good gas mileage. Love my car.
Only one wish - auto tail gate opener!
Do you use snow tires during winter?
There is aftermarket power tailgate add-on for HR-V and youtube installation video for it.
I agree 100%. We own a 2016, we have drove it numerous 450 mile trips with 0 issues, great fuel economy, it's fast enough for highway driving, and has plenty of acceleration for passing. We have an AWD version and it's bern great in all weather conditions, if you do your research before purchasing a vehicle know what your getting into you won't be disappointed.
The reason for shorter clearance on awd is the drive shaft going to the rear wheels...
Hi Dave, could you check to see if the warning message is still always on (by default) every time you turn on the truck? It is super annoying on my wife 2016 HR-V that you have to press OK every time you turn on the truck to use the system. There was no option to turn it off like in the Accord.
Nice video as usual god bless your family,keep up the good work
Looked at your Subbie video & was in-between an Outback & Forrester. When I went to the dealership to window shop magically added Mitsubishi Outlander on the list. Somehow purchased a 2019 Honda HRV LX without it being in my stratospheric thinking. Had a 72 Cutlass Supreme, 84 Olds Omega (horrible unknown electric problem that no mechanic could diagnose!!!!) then 87 Mitsubishi Mirage which I loved. Now I love my new vehicle!!!!
I bought my 2018 HR-V last Oct. So far I've been happy with my purchase.
I had the same gripe when I test drove that car- it needs 15 more horse and the CVT sounded like it was going to blow up. The 2015CR-V we bought new was better and no problems but revved like crazy when I mashed the gas. I eventually got used to it. 3 years and 75,000 miles trouble free
I managed to make it to 2:38 and realized the 1 thing that annoyed me, was this Video.
Ahhhh, I remember those days of having toys in the car like that!
So your big gripes are that you can't get from 0-60 in less than 9 seconds (5:07 to 5:16 on the video) in a very small car and that you can't drive with your knees instead of your hands?
I'm 6'3" and couldn't get out of a 2012 Ford Focus rental without my knees turning the headlights on while brushing the dashboard, but I never tried to control the steering wheel with my knees!
If those are your major gripes, the HRV will remain on my next-car list.
My brother-in-law, a former auto mechanic, drag racer and big-engine lover, was impressed with the similar acceleration in my Honda Fit - it's enough acceleration to safely change lanes on busy interstates, etc.
Normal drivers don't floor the accelerator...
They do when you have to merge on a highway in morning rush hour to work.
@Semper Fi My X3 works fine.
@@Slavic_Boer Most of my cars were sticks. Manual transmissions are lots of fun.
Such a great channel with good content. Keep up the good work.
"I'm holding the steering wheel with my knee".....Um.....you're not suppossed to DO that Dave!
and... Dave is NOT a professional race car driver !
Only professional race car drivers are suppose to "floor it."
You're NOT suppose to do that Dave !
@@AlmaWells "I'm sorry, Dave. You can't do that."
We bought 2021 Hrv absolutely love it. Best car suv we ever bought.
@@paulasolaripickup3130
A little on the small side.
I'm not the biggest fan of CVTs but it's the norm for most Subcompact SUVs for fuel efficiency. But Honda CVTs are quite good. I do wish they'd get the turbo from the Civic but that might come in the next gen HRV. The HRV Sport with AWD is just below $25k which is a heck of a bargain. I've looked at other Subcompact SUVs and the competition just doesn't have the space or adjustability of the magic seats like the HRV. After all I would assume utility is what these vehicles are used for. Looked at the Crosstrek but they're a lot pricier.
"Here's the thing that really annoys me. Now listen to this noise (while you shout over that noise explaining how much you hate the noise and narrate your annoyance)." LOL
We have a 2022 HRV LX CVT Front Wheel Drive. There are sure a lot of negative comments about the HRV's 141 hp. Horsepower has been steadily increasing in the US for decades. Yes, a small displacement turbo can provide high hp and mpg, but not at the exact same time. In the end its a choice made at the gas pedal. Our basic front wheel drive HRV is fun to drive and has plenty of power given its light weight. For those needing AWD the HRV does lose some acceleration and efficiency. Our HRV meets or exceeds EPA mileage ratings. With all the negative comments about CVT transmissions, this HRV's powertrain is nicely matched and similar to a car with traditional automatic transmission. Differences are only apparent under full acceleration or on high-speed steep uphill freeway grades. On long grades rather than hunting for the appropriate gear (since it has none), the engine rpm will rise and fall repeatably. If you enable Sport Mode using the gearshift on these long climb's the rpm will quickly steady itself. Great car for the money and for me all of the tech complaints are avoided by simply purchasing the less expensive LX trim.
Wish we could get the 182HP HRV turbo sport manual they have in Europe
The Touring trim should have the Civic's 1.5L turbo engine. Despite its CVT, the AWD option would make this best in its class.
Honda would never do that as it would put it to close HP wise to the CR-V. What Honda should have done is use the K20 engine from the 10th gen Civic for HR-V Sport and up trim levels.
G Spawn they came out with a software update that did nothing. Honda’s reputation is taking a huge hit over this issue.
When you put it on sport you have to use the shifter. Sports turns it into like a manual drive. They rpms go up cause you are not changing gears
Two things:
One; Your annoyance with the HR-V's acceleration doesn't really have to do with the CVT itself, its the engine. The 1.8L (R18) engine is incredibly outdated and lacking power compared to the engines Honda makes today. Honda could easily fix this by using the 2.0L (K20) engine from the 10th gen Civic. This would most likely improve the fuel efficiency of the HR-V as well.
Two; The ground clearance is reduced on the AWD modes due to undercarriage packaging. The HR-V is based on the Fit platform, which utilizes a torsion beam rear suspension to accommodate the Magic Seat system in the rear. The Magic Seats are why the fuel tank is located under the front seats. Due to lack of space under the rear of the car, adding the AWD differential means more is hanging down under the car's frame and reducing the ground clearance even further.
i have driven this car through an irresponsible amount of snow up here in alaska and she eats it up. people always they think they need diff lock , turbos blah blah . this car will get you places most people will never see
Good Review！I think the 1.8L engine with CVT is okay. Absolutely love the handling and the versatility!
Does the sport version if this isnt it comes with sunroof or moonroof
Awesome point. I've been complaining about it for a while to everyone including the dealer. There is a third thing that is annoying with this car and that is the position of the had and break paddle. For some reason my right leg hurts like crazy while I drive. To the point that I had to add something on the floor to raise it.
That's why I traded mine in.... got a Rogue Sport... love it!
I can't imagine a scenario where my knee would activate the steering wheel voice controls that isn't an MVA.
Yeah, I have ever heard this problem before from many review here on UA-cam. He as long leg but most people whom use this CUV is shorter. LOL
Awesome as usual Dave. The cvt sucks i agree. They need to do something about the trims
Could you please do a review of Goofy’s tow truck!
😂
I have the 2016 ex manual transmission hrv. I have no problems with speed. Drop it a gear or two and it gets up and goes just fine. It also out performed many of my friends awd vehicles in ice and snow. Everyone but me was getting stuck. I love this car.
My 2016 HRV LX w/ manual transmission is consistently averaging 34 mpg (mixed driving). I think this is because I typically keep the rpms under 3k. I appreciate the non-touch A/C and radio controls on this basic model since I can access these functions w/out taking my eyes off the road. This car is simple, basic transportation, and so far it's been very reliable.
Thats what I have been trying to find. Just a basic HRV FWD with a manual transmission. It's been very hard to find.
How the hell did you manage to not leave any snow tracks behind the front wheels only at the very beginning of your video???
I purchased a 2016 HRV , no frills basic car , really like it...
Same, i have a 2016 hrv exl awd and it works fine.
wanna get married ?
Have you found a better CVT? I own two new Subies, CVT is not my love but there is no longer any choice. And since very few to no one takes their car to drive off road, those of us in the midwest have to drive in the snow. I am wondering how well it handles windy, snowy, slippery conditions,,not off road snow, but the stuff we drive in for 6 months of the year.
My wife has the 2016 Civic EX with CVT and the first time I stomped on the gas I too thought the engine was going to explode. I have the 2017 HRV EX with 6 speed and yes that left knee thing happens to me too. Loved the Goofy tow truck lol!
aren't you suppose to use the paddle shifters for sports mode? I did not see you using it
Got the 2019 lx base model a couple of months ago for a reliable inexspensive awd vehical for the NE Tenn. winters. The drivers seat might need a little lumbar pillow for longer drives. Gas millage is between 25 city 32 highway. Seems to have all the bells and whistles that I need. The engine seems to work fine for me and I do experiment with it a little to get an understanding of how long it takes to get in with traffic from a dead stop. It's ok if you're a mild mannered driver, but it's no sports car. With the ac off, the automatic trasmission in S and the green leaf off it seems to be pretty fun. I usually drive it in D with the green leaf off unless I'm on the 4 lane. Overall I'm going to give it a 7 out of ten. We'll see how it does in the long haul. Great video, love your candor! Be safe, CM
how is it now? still doing ok?
Why is it lower? Because it's AWD, instead of front wheel drive, you also have a drive shaft going to a differential in the center of the rear axle.
I have had an HR-V for 3 years, never bumped the back of the steering wheel with my knee. If you do, you are probably a gigantic klutz.
I would assume there’s lower ground clearance in the all wheel drive because of the rear diff hanging down lower
Anybody else have issues with iPhone audio not populating graphics on the screen? It only says “no song” despite clearly playing music
Ive never lifted my knee into my steering wheel in 31 years of driving. Also the acceleration seems ample. My prius is much quicker, however its not awd. So driving in the snow is a gamble.
What about top things you love about it tho? I went into the dealership today and found myself surprisingly smittened by it's driving position and compact size... yes, it sounds like it's gonna be under powered, but given it's price range and size as well as intended use purposes, I think it's a shortcoming that most people can live with. There is always, always room for more power... let's be honest. Also, what is your daily driver dave?
Does the rear and front bumper have sensors? Asking for my mom who can't drive cautiously lol
What phone holder is that? I need a good holder for my HR-V
HRVs are everywhere! Those 2 annoying things can be annoying. Safe car for your family though. Nice job with the video 👍
Hi from Peru! Interesting, good video!
what type of car seat was that?
If you ever drive behind an AWD HR-V in traffic, you will see why less ground clearance. Rear diff hangs quiet low.
I like your vids! New sub
I own a a 2021 HRV it's an amazing SUV fun to drive great mileage lots of room great for camping the CVT is not that big of a problem and I only have the two wheel drive front wheel drive model and I go through everything if you want to increase your horsepower and give yourself more usable power replace your stock air cleaner with a k and N performance reusable air cleaner you'll notice a huge difference and be even happy
I have past experience with k&n
I don’t recommend putting one in a stock car
Why not put the 2.0 from the Civic in this? Would give you similar fuel economy and 10-15 more HP and 5-10 Torque. More tolerable?
Nope. You lose fuel economy going from the LIGHTER Civic to the HEAVIER HR-V. You think the Honda engineers didn't already thought about this?
Had 2 Nissans with a CVT and now 2919 Honda HRV. Absolutely zero issues with the CVT on all 3 vehicles. For it is suppose.ti be the HRV is a perfect car.
Ground clearance is less with all wheel drive because of the drivetrain going to the rear wheels. Transfer case, drive shaft and rear differential.
Hey, that’s funny....my Accord does the same thing with my left leg. My Accord is a 2014, and does it bug me. Thanks ...
I think most CVT transmission vehicles rev out like slipping if floored. But under normal acceleration hook up tight. Atleast in the 2 Subaru's I've had.
Great video Dave, very informative. In your professional opinion which is the better car....Honda HR-V or the Subaru Crosstrek ? Considering the Crosstrek more over the HR-V. I value you opinion very much, wood appreciate any info Dave. 👍🏻
The Crosstrek for sure.
@@sparklander Subaru is less reliable. I'll pass.
Sure, if you like needlessly complex engines with needlessly duplicated components, needlessly long intake air paths, and needless cooling and oiling complications, for the same number of cylinders and LESS horsepower or fuel economy than a comparable inline 4-cylinder engine. And why not toss in a pair of new head gaskets every 70,000 miles? What's the slogan? "Love your mechanic. It's what makes Subaru a Subaru?"
did you turn off the ECON button and put it on S mode??? you have to do that for she goes out like a missile!
just ask for bob Eco automatically turns off when you shift to S on transmission.
I get irritated by the lack of space under the driver seat - in my CR-V I can move my left leg back and my heel doesn't hit anything, but, it does in the HR-V. I do LOVE that they still have the LaneWatch blind spot camera in the HR-V though! I cannot believe Honda has removed it from the CR-V and Accord!
That's because the gas tank is under the front seats in the HR-V. In the CR-V and the majority of cars on the road, the gas tank is under the rear seats. Putting the tank under the front seats makes room for the collapsing mechanism of the "Magic Seats" which, along with the torsion beam (non-independent) rear suspension, help give the HR-V its amazing best-in-class flat-and-low cargo area.
Everything in engineering is a compromise, but as a former owner of a Honda Fit that had a very similar layout, knowing the whys made the flaws more forgivable.
I think I might check one out at my local Honda dealer cause Dave said it was a "Go Get Her" (:
great video could you provide me with the nae of the phone mount please?
One of my female cousins has one of these, a 2017 I think. Even though she is a big fan of Hondas, she does not like her HR-V.
I will bet the AWD version has LESS ground clearance because the AWD hardware hangs "lower". Rather than lift the AWD version, that will require different springs and shocks, Honda keeps costs in check by using the same suspension pieces for FWD and AWD.....I am guessing.
We test drove the CVT version only in NL it's a 1.5 130hp. We went for the manual version because we also disliked the sound and the lack of accelleration. It still isn't a fast car especially compared to the turbo civics but it's all flat here so we'll cope. Touching the voice command buttons never happens in real live though or you must have abnormal long legs and have set the seat very much to the front
Hi I love your intro, great video. "It's going back!" I want to buy a shirt & bumper stickers .
The Hrv would be perfect if they turbo it and redesign and also I had a 2018 Hrv
I love my 2016 2WD 6-Speed Manual Tranny HR-V. Using the gears I can enter the freeway like a battle out of you know where.
My 2016's Back seat very uncomfortable after an hour . All warning lights came on stealership couldn't find the problem they claim the abs brake module was causing all the lights to go on they couldn't fixed so I drove it like that Trouble free for 180.000 miles until new transmission was needed always keep it well maintained don't know what happened 🤔
Hi ,could you do a comparison between hrv n civic, as the price are almost same with d same engine capacity
Just traded my civic for the hrv and have been near tears for two days lol. I simply needed a higher vehicle for my back issues. The beautiful cabin in the civic is not mimicked in the hrv. No Apple play ( big disappointment), the digital speedometer is gone, center console is extremely small,and it doesn’t pick up speed as fast. I mean it’s all just hard to get used to. However, I love the space! It also has seat warmers which I love. I’m just gonna change out the radio so I have Apple play. I’ll get used to it eventually though. It’s still a nice vehicle.
Well I don't know what your talking about. I got the 2019 hrv because I couldn't afford the CR-V. Mines fully loaded with everything you say you don't have and it was far less than the 19 crv. Especially when you plug your phone in to USB.
I love my touring. Wish it had more horsepower, but nevertheless, it's a good car.
Wow, I assume you're a millennial. I was born in 90 to. Plus I just checked out your channel and you like the Sims. Nice. Sims 3 is much better than Sims 4, so you stuck with a good choice.
Is this same honda vezel?
Less ground clearance on AWD due to driveshaft that has to pass to the rear along with other components while trying no to modify the floorboards as much accept for maybe in the trunk area where the spare tire area may/may not be pushed up a bit to allow for room under vehicle
The AWD on the HR-V is not meant to take off road, it’s meant to get You up a slippery hill on a snowy day! I never floor My HR-V when accelerating. I hold the RPM’s at at a steady 2500 - 3000 rpm and the cvt is smooth quite and no dreadful rubber band effect! Never have had a problem keeping up with traffic. I get 32 mpg local driving and 37 mpg on the highway. It idles quieter than most other cars some much more expensive. I think it’s a great car and I love the cvt!
we are very happy with ours as well for the price it is a great little suv
The 6 speed manual is the only way to go on the Fit and HRV. Great driving experience with it.
Hmm...the awd version is that much heavier, therefore it would be bit lower to ground?!? Vs. the 2-wheel drive version...
I plan to get the HR-V Sport, 2WD. I wanted the Civic Sport Sedan, but I probably need the extra cargo utility of the HR-V, Sport at the same price. I wish it had the 2.0L engine for 20 more HP, the CD player the previous version offered, and automatic headlights, and they should have made Honda Sense standard like on the Civic for 2019, or at least for the HR-V Sport. But it is what it is for the price for the Sport Trim.
Im happy honda made this car. Now i can use parts to make my 8th gen civic awd.
I don't think this was intended to be an off road vehicle more like a on the paved or dirt road with snow.
Is it normal for this car that you can easily move the shift lever to any position even without pressing the lock????
.
I drove the second trim level It is. fast and quick. The only thing is a seeing out the rear. Of the vehicle. I wish they would have blind- spot viewing on both sides They just got it on the the right side camera only it needs to be on both sides. It's a nice vehicle.
I just found out markets outside north america have the HRV with the 1.5L turbo. why can't we have nice things?
I think its that the AWD system has more components on the underbody which might impact ground clearance
Ironically the FWD has higher ground clearance than the AWD
My question is; where i can buy the phone holder you're using?
Christian Callejas I’m late but Amazon has one for $10 and it bring the window/dashboard, vent, and dashboard holder
Super similar to my 10’ Honda Insight EX
You knew it was underpowered when you bought it.
Kinda funny that you are actually driving that.
I bought the 2019 HRV AWD sport and this is the perfect car for my utility. Good in gas, a lot of room for a compact crossover, and all-wheel drive. The car has adequate proper for daily driving. All for under 25k, you can't beat that price. My only complaint is the two speed wiper speed which is intermittent with no variable speed and moderate speed. For high speed wipers, you have to hold up on the toggle bar.
Most automatic cars don't cope very well if you suddenly floor the pedal while on the go unless you have got a large engine with lots of torque.
I have 2017 basic. Loving it
That sound is a nature of CVT. If you don’t like that sound, then u got to get a car with 6,7,8,9 or even 10 speed transmission.
If money was not problem and all you were thinking about was being behind the wheel of a car and going around curves at speed; what would you be driving as your personal car?
Been driving it for 3 years.. never ever ever have I hit the voice assistant button with my knee... And for the quick acceleration you can use the paddle shift to change gears .
Especially if you put the vehicle in SPORT mode
Which is exactly why I got the standard transmission model before they went all automatic.
Sales of the Honda HR-V are down almost double-digits from last year and currently there are 15,000 for sale on cars dot com. So what is the problem with Honda sub-compact SUV sales in one of the hottest segments?
You can get CR-v for little more
