I test drove one of these right when they came out. Dealer got one to test. At the time we had the previous gen HRV as a loaner which was AWFUL. Everyone who drove that car absolutely hated it. However, this new one looks really nice for what it is (personally I think anyways) and the interior is soooooo much nicer than the old one. The simplicity and style of the interior reminds me of my Element which I adore. Also, even though this is slow, the old one was actually horrendous. This one can at least get around fine even if its noisy. Overall, while not perfect, it is so much better than the previous gen. Personally, I think I'd prefer a Crosstrek sport for a little more power, and I like the styling better.
8:20 HRV vs Civic Hatchback. Please make it happen! I'm really curious on the road/tire/wind noise between the two and if the AWD is worth to get in the HRV despite the higher fuel consumption. Also, the hatch offers bose sound system at the same price so wondering if that's much more worth it to get.
It seems super generic and bland. I see these mainly driven by old women who only go 30mph in 50mph zones, with both hand firmly gripping the steering wheel...
Those rims are the absolute worst. From a distance they look like a aftermarket hubcap. Also regarding the smell, apparently it’s the discharge from the plastics used. All HRV’s smell like that at first.
The HR-V isn't a bad option, the CX-30 is a better option for the price.
Everything else in this segment is a better option than this thing. No center armrest in the rear seats?
@@jmahizzle Yeah, no center armrest in the rear seats is a no go for me.
So much better for the price. Way more customizability and options availability.
@@jmahizzle most people buying this car won't typically have passengers in the back.
I like the touch screen of the HRV vs the dial of the CX30

6:04 you could tell Chris was just a liiittle offended before realizing what you meant
The second you said DSL it brought back all the mems
Amazing how we think 10 sec to 60 is so slow.. 20-30 years ago that was kinda fast! Have cars gotten to fast?

DSL’s 😂
I’d rather get an accord for 30k
you lose AWD

you couldn't pay me to own an N/A 4 cylinder plus CVT combo...what an awful combination lol.
should have put a turbo in it that would fix the horsepower at least🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They should have kept the Fit going instead. I hope SUV trend die soon.
They ruined the merits of this car. Civic hatch is the way to go. Or another brand.
I don’t have anything to comment because the HRV is boring and irrelevant 😂
If they added more options and boosted the fuel economy, it would be a decent option. But yeah, it’s quite boring lol
Wow, that DRONING sound during acceleration is just plain UGLY !
