Are you never happy?
Sir, i got this P0705 scan code on my 2004 Toyota corolla with auto transmission... the gear drags when trying to shift for 2 to 3.. what could be wrong?
@@user-ih9dg3uz5ylol
Hi scotty. What are your thoughts about the older HRV 2019-2021 1.8L versions?
I’ve bought the 2.0 Hybrid version I get over 50 mpg in my ZRV as it’s known in England 🏴 much more powerful than the non hybrid version of this car. Test drive this version you’ll be surprised of the electric motor
Nothing beats waking up in the morning knowing that slow car will alway be reliable, save you money, save you from accidents, last a very long time. That speed itch will go away slowly. Slowly you will transition to driving relaxed
Been saying that the last few years. I been driving since I was 18 and I’m about turn 29 soon. No accidents caused by me, no tickets, no nothing.. *knock on wood*. My wife is on the same boat. We got this car literally yesterday. We’re just on the road chilling going 70-75 on the far right lol. I got out of that whole speed head mentality years ago. We love our 2024 hr v.
I second that❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I miss the speed of my last car. I traded in my 2017 Civic coupe 1.5 turbo for a 2024 Hyundai Kona with 2.0. Pros and cons of both but the Kona SEL is way slower. It's definitely been an adjustment over the last month but with the dual 12.3in screens the Kona its extremely easy to drive and navigate
@@B07llI basically have the Hyundai equivalent of your HRV, I got the 2024 Kona. I got a couple speeding tickets in my last car but it's a lot more difficult to speed with the 2.0 engine
@@jackmemphis777Is the Hrv more fuel efficient than the Kona?
You know there's something wrong when people are going halfway across the country just to get a halfway-fair price on a car . . .
and a shitty crossover, at that...
You're right, and thank our wonderful president and his failed economic policies, just making inflation worse and worse!
True but that's the price of living in a capitalist country. Now get rid of the Democrats and give all the money to small business owners!
How did the president increase car prices in Rhode Island?
I'm not sure what Joey did, what I have seen is that under the President Trump, cars are abundant and I could buy most brand much below MSRP, now under this stupid Joey, the cars are far and between, and I have to pay several thousands above MSRP, sometimes, 50k Ford can have as little as 125K.
I'm Extremely Disappointed that Scotty didn't sound all that Extremely Disappointed in the Honda HR-V 🤣🤣🤣
I own a 2021 Honda HR-V with a 1.8 LTR 4-cyl. Here are your instructions for passing on a two lane road: Allow the target vehicle to get 1/2 mile ahead of you, then kick it! By the time you catch your target to pass, you will come to your senses and realize you should never pass in this HR-V.
ROFLOL
Had me in the first half 🤣
Yep. I test drove a 2021 HR-V at the dealership. I slammed on the gas at stop lights and it didn't move. I layed into the gas on a right hand turn and it was absolutely unresponsive. After that I bought a 2008 Honda FIT instead and love it. That thing is so zippy and fun to drive! Get the FIT instead and I also get up to 36 mpg!
but it's 14 years old 🤔
@@HigherEducationAwakening I don't think the Honda FIT went to a CVT until like 2015 or 2016.
I can’t remember the last time Scotty got a new anything and wasn’t disappointed.
This car for sure is a disappointment tho lol
The last type R lmao
The new crv ...
@@realblackbetty2204i can't understand what's a disappointment about it?
@@dpl4154 Look at his vid feed and you understand where he is coming from!
I love my 2019 HRV (EX, 2WD). Great gas mileage, economical to maintain, a lot of cargo space for its size, and it has a comfortable ride. I'm in my 50s and have driven it on 10-hour road trips through several states with zero mechanical or comfort issues. The only negative for me is the weak engine. My situation is similar to the owner of the HRV in Scotty's video in that I came from driving a BMW for 11 years before getting the HRV, so it did take awhile for me to get used to the lack of get-up-n-go. But other than that, it's a really great car. I put a bumper sticker on mine that says "0 to 60, Eventually". Be sure to honk as you pass me! lol
😂 0 to 60 eventually 😂
I have a 2018 HRV EX 4wd . . . An excellent SUV. I am pleased with everything about it . . .If I want a Preppy, more Robust acceleration just put in a Higher Octane Gas! and you are good to GO! LUV MY HONDA . . .
@@beautifulportland9592Higher octane gas will pep it up?
@@sl4983yes but don’t expect the car to become a Lamborghini or something sometimes it’s barley even noticeable
@@sl4983 Higher octane means gas is better stabilized against spontaneous combustion and only increases HP in engines that require it. Makes no difference for hrv 2L engine!
Hey, Scotty. I understand that the owner of the HRV chose it because he didn't want to pay for a Rav4, but the Rav4's Honda competitor is the CRV, a bigger vehicle.
The Toyota Corolla-Cross is the direct competitor to the Honda HRV and is much less expensive.
Just to be fair in the comparison of like vehicles...LOL.
Drove them all including CRV etc. Honda didn’t make the cut. Bought a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek limited.
This was my car and I was actually comparing it to a CX-5! I didn’t like the look of the rav4. Even though the Honda is considered a subcompact suv versus my Audi q5 and cx-5 as compact SUVs, it’s only two inches smaller on all dimensions and there’s just as much interior storage space which was important to me. This car was much more affordable for wanting leather seats and a sunroof, with the engine/cvt being my compromise there.
NIssan Rogues are faster but the CVT transmissions aren't too strong. I wouldn't get a new one though I think they're 3 cylinder turbo engines!
@@paulhunter6652 Did you buy a vape with that Subaru brah
@@paulhunter6652 I'd say anything outside of Toyota, Honda, and Mazda doesn't make the cut from Scotty's perspective lol
47,500 for a Rav 4?! holy moly.
absurd
Toyota financing wanted 21% interest for my wife and I, we qualified for 6% for a Silverado. (650 credit)
Everyone's lost their damn minds.
@@nathans3523 21% are they nuts? Do Guido and Paulie break your legs if you miss a payment?
You will pay a lot more in Australia
For what it is, I think the HR-V is a lot of car for the money. Has good tech and all the safety features plus a seemingly nice styling.
I Love My HRV. Got my glasses tinted by Black Out and it cut 5 degrees on temp in car, that helped the low air flow in front of HRV. It is a Nice Vehicle and sits higher than Civic and Accord. Turn off the Economy Fuel button when passing!! :)
Ordered a 2024 Honda HRV sport, under MSRP and comes in a few weeks… loved the car when I test drove it. Many folks complain about how slow it is , but I don’t mind, its much better then what I currently have.
Me too! Mine should be in at the end of July.
My current car-Honda CR-V 2004, bought new, has 205,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, the bottom has rust issues now and it is time to retire it. I am sad about it but I am looking forward to my new 2024 HR-V Sport. 😊
@Pinkkermit17 that's awesome, would you mind sharing where you ordered your car?
How do you like it? I was considering the HRV but went with the 2024 Hyundai Kona for the 12.3in dual screen setup. The HRV looks a little more comfy tho
I have a 2019 HR V Sport myself, definitely not a car built for speed but it is quite comfortable for long road trips and the gas mileage is good. It’s also easy to work on for a newer car, most parts I can access without any difficulty
This is Hondas most reliable new engine. They got these in the civics too. Should run rvery good for for atleast 300 K
You don’t sound dissappointed at all Scotty! 😂
I got the sport version of this and my wife got sport version civic. We deliberately went with these because of the 2.0 engines. We wanted cars that would last for many years to come. Nice to hear Scotty confirm our theory.
Which one you like better? The civic or the hrv? I don’t know which one I want
@@Xjpicaxthey're the same car, the old hrv (2022 and before) was based on the Honda Fit platform, the new hrv (2023/2024) is based on the Civic platform. So it's literally just a bigger civic with AWD
My wife and I both got the 2.0l sport civic with manual transmission
but the cvt wont
When I made the switch from a v6 Toyota Avalon to a 4-cylinder Honda Civic, I encountered a similar issue. I found myself complaining constantly because the car felt slow, and I even suspected that there might be a problem with the transmission 😂. However, it turned out that the car was perfectly fine; I simply needed some time to adjust to the characteristics of the new engine 😅.
Yea! I know the gas mileage is better on 4cyl. Just prefer the straight v6. And the v6 is slowly disappearing😢
🤣 omg!! driving the Avalon had my head whipping back on take off. anything will feel EONS slower☠️
I hate the fact that all the V6 engines are going away. I had a 13 V6 Accord for nine years and recently replaced it with a 23 Pilot. The main reason I bought it was because it still had a straight V6 in it. I am single with no children and have been driving nothing but Honda for the last thirty years. And it is a disgrace I have limited choices when looking for sedans with V6 power. TBH, there are no Honda sedans with V6 motors. I am not a fan of turbo engines or 4 cylinder engines. I understand that these aforementioned types are cheaper to drive but I detest slow moving vehicles. The Pilot is a good comfortable drive that has some kick to it. I just wonder how long Honda will continue to put V6s in the Pilots and Odyssey’s and go the way of the 4 cylinder turbo engine.😬😬😬
the engine is not the problem, cvt is the problem the belt slides on high rpm thats why it is slow
Hondas are pretty amazing vehicles. I had a 1988 Civic RT4WD wagon. It ran like a top, even with 250K on the clock. I gave it to one of my tenants who was disabled, and just needed something to get around town. He made it all the way from CO to TX, and it still ran like a top.
My last accord had about 370k when it got it rear ended...never a problem...my civic has almost 300k..runs like new
@@richsweeney1115 Sorry about your Accord, but that mileage is awesome! Hopefully you will be another "Million Mile Joe".
Bought a '21 HRV brand new before the ridiculous prices blew up. I've put over 70k miles on it, got it with 4. No issues, plenty of space for daily driving, and mpgs are good. Went to look at the new '23 and was disappointed that it's so big and the rear seats don't do the same thing as the previous model.
Got the Sport AWD, and I have no complaints. Scotty nailed it, the HR-V is a nice looking, long lasting transport machine.
I'm waiting for mine. And your experience isn't really that slow how people saying it?
Thank you in advance!
@@sakibc1787 it’s really not that bad, I traded in my civic with a 1.5l turbo for the 2024 hrv ex-l 2wd because I wanted something a little bigger and I love it, very similar drive quality, and more reliable overtime than something with a turbo. I still pass people just fine, it will just take a little longer if you’re trying to floor it and go but who is trying to drag race in a hrv🤣
@@Eclipzebass have you done any driving through the mountains? I'm not necessarily worried about speed up hills, but does it make it up hills at all? 😅 I live in CO for reference!
@@sezenonat-qmdcaa4650 I have driven up some big hills, not really as bad as people make it out to be. If you have driven a civic it’s basically identical driving experience.
@@sakibc1787it’s not very quick but sufficient is the word I’d use to describe its speed. It handles great on curves though. My wife and I have the 23 sport 2wd.
And where is the part of being extremely disappointed Scotty?
The CVT transmission. He said he didn't really like it.
@@lanesworld4000 I tend to agree. I love Hondas but I'm not a fan of the CVT'S either. I'll admit however that Honda and Toyota make the best CVT transmissions out there.
@@josephbell2160I have a ‘16 Civic with the CVT…it has over 180K miles (mostly hwy driving). I do a drain and fill on the CVT fluid every 35-40K miles and it runs smooth. Consistent maintenance is the key here.
@@carlovanrijk4039 That's fine it you like CVT'S, they just don't do it for me. I know about the maintenance. I have a 1999 Accord V6 with a regular transmission. I've had it for nearly 17 years (MAINTAIN IT VERY WELL) and it still shifts smoothly. The key is it's a regular automatic transmission. It makes driving more fun
@@josephbell2160 if I had my druthers, I would’ve gotten one with the 6-spd manual, but at that time, the closest one was 400 miles away in Milwaukee (I live in Indy). So I live with the CVT instead…not my favorite but I’ll deal with it. At least it’s not a Nissan CVT. 🤨
After two bad used car purchases for my daughter (2014 TSX 80K mi / 2018 3CYL Focus 45k mi) I said screw it and bought her a 23 HRV. I wanted something reliable I no longer had to worry about that would last her through high school, college, into her adult life. I’m really hoping this thing works out…. Tired of stressing out over some of these used vehicles. I love the HRV and tend to grab the keys at times when I need to run errands. Btw she complains about it being slow too which is absolutely perfect.
Honestly, it depends on your daughter, since you mentioning "lasts her through high school ..." that concerns me as high schooler, esp girl, don't have mechanical awareness at all. Oh and don't forget about carelessness on surroundings for high-schooler! If the engine survive, the fender bender they caused may give you a headache! IDK about your kid but my kid finally "gets it" how to care about their car once they are around 24 years old! Before that they are just a hazard for the car and for themselves!
@@blackdan0259the new hrv is a very safe car it has lane keep assist and frontal Collision assist. it has blind spot monitoring that will actively keep your lane if it notices a car in the blind spot also has a warning sound if you’re Changing into a lane with a car in your blind spot next to the lane you’re switching to. My wife and I have been very impressed by its safety features. I’d say it’s a good car for a teenager.
We looked at an HR V but it was Made in Mexico 🇲🇽. We bought a Toyota corolla with the 1.8 and we love it!
Anything made in Mexico is crap, even if it's Toyota/Honda.
@@DecrepitBiden Sad all Tacoma trucks are also Made in Mexico now.
You mean you got a Corolla Cross - that's comparable to the HR-V.
Lol. Bunch of racists. As if the sh1t they make in Detroit or Chicago was any better.
Have a 2023 HR-V sport and Honda just replaced the entire front steering rack on a recall!!!! A known problem with cars assembled in Mexico. took two months to get the part so all the while it wandered all over the road and steered like a 49 Ford Truck! Had to take two 2000 mile road trips and it drove me crazy..........finally got the part and took it in for repair that they quoted would take no more than 2 hours.........4 hours later the car was still on the rack and all the techs had gone to lunch and just let the sucker customer wait..no apologies or KMA........after 30 years driving Hondas this is just too much for me to deal with.....one more year on the lease and I am going to a Corolla.
Hey Scotty! It was great meeting you. Glad you enjoyed reviewing the car!
In my opinion the 2.0 engine is one of the best engine Honda has at this time...especially in the CIvic. It has Direct and Port injection, Timing Chain, low maintenance. I would be highly surprised if under a competent owner, if this engine doesn't last 1 million miles. However, this engine being put in a larger Hr-V is not good. Considering if you are just driving yourself it might be fine. But when you load up on passengers, this car will be struggling. At least with the Civic you are starting at 2900lbs
I have a 2020 Civic with this engine. I think this may be one of the most reliable engines you can get in a new car for now. My car runs even better than new at 67,000 miles.
Then how heavy is the hrv? I’m willing to bet that since they made it taller it’s not that much heavier rather the weight is now redistributed
@@slapshotjack9806 3300#.

The HR-V is so big now, it's as big as a 2nd gen CR-V... Probably as the same engine and performance as well...
I have a 2017 HR-V with the 1.8 and I feel the acceleration is fine. Yeah the cvt is lacking over a traditional automatic, but you learn how to accelerate with it. Get 30 MPG in the city.
It's so sad that all the Accords have CVTs now. They don't offer a manual, nor coupe. My 2006 manual coupe can't last forever, but I want it to. 😭
Yeah got a kiddo on the way and going to have to retire my 2003 5speed 4cyl Accord coupe for a CRV or RAV4. I was tempted for a Tesla model y LR but I do want to camp.

It's a better CVT than Nissan's is though. Stay with Honda.
@@metalmike570 agreed!
@@metalmike570 Yep, Honda and Toyota make the best CVT'S
05 Chevy 2.2 with 200,000 is real strong and only uses less than a quart in 3000 miles. 5 speed manual. Love it still today.
Burning oil every 3000 miles isn't the definition of going strong 😂 that's the definition of gm low quality and a lawsuit that got avoided but still poorly designed cause that just means whenever u don't have oil an problem is waiting to happen 😂
Thank you, Scottie, always appreciate your opinions and reviews. IMHO I love the HRV, kind of an AWD Civic - why they do not make one of those? Guess you won't be taking your entry-level compact SUV econobox to the drag strip
Scotty, the "Sport: mode cannot be selected from the Drive modes, is actually the "S" on the shifter options, that's where you can select it but just make sure turning back to "Normal" or ECON as SPORT is not showed display on the Screen anywhere but you can feel it by pressing that gas pedal, it actually makes a difference.
I want that Cellica, Scotty! LOL My old man had a '94 and I borrowed it every chance when I was in high school. I had a '79 Firebird at the time but I loved driving the Cellica.
Here in New Zealand we owe Scotty a world of thanks for advice that steered us away from imported Mercs or BMWs that are attractively priced....(all the used cars here, are imports).
Isn't every car in NZ an import?
It depends were you live, I can get all my German parts for Toyota price delivered to my door.
Interesting. What about Mitsubishi?
@@LaurentiusTriariusnot even the Germans can do that
Scotty we use vans in our line of work and I would really love to hear you break down the vans on the market today. It's really tough out there, very expensive and lots of outlandish designs. Could use some help!
My wife has a 2018 HRV and she likes it for the gas mileage and being able to maneuver it around in the city.
It is definitely lacking in the acceleration department though! 😂
Test drove one. 2.0 PFI, no GDI or turbo is a good thing. CVT not so good. Put shifter in S for sport mode. Front seats are hard. Takes some getting used to. Suspension feels pretty good. Decent interior room. If you can get one for MSRP (good luck) not a bad buy.
Why put it in sport? I feel like it’s putting major wear on the trans with barely any benefit in performance. You feel that trans pulling tight when you let go of the gas. Idk I leave it in normal and it’s good enough
Scotty, thanks for your videos. Always entertaining. I have a 2017 civic sedan touring. I wish they would make an HRV touring. Stick in the 1.5 turbocharged, leather, navigation, the few other bells and whistles of the 2017, and make it as light as possible. I think that would sell like hot cakes and be a fantastic car.
I bought a 2018 Civic Hatchback LX, 1.5 turbo, 6 speed, brand new 5 years ago and it's a great car - 40mpg on the highway and zips around town with that turbo torque at lower rpms. You're right about making the HRV better, but Honda just does that to the CRV (1.5 turbo) then prices them in the 30k+ range now. They want the HRV to be "cheap", for the budget folks.
Here in Brazil the HR V is a different car with a 1.5 turbo and this one in the video is actually called ZR V
2020 honda civic hatchback with the sport package best purchase ever made. Got it precovid for less than msrp and its worth way more now. Love it too much tho, its so much fun.
I'm in Scotland and drive a 6 speed manual 2019 Honda CR-V 1.5 turbo, the nicest and best car I ever owned. I love Hondas!
I live in the snowbelt in Ontario and we don't need all wheel drive. Just good snow tires.
H-RV is called Z-RV in Europe and only comes as 2.0 hybrid e:CVT and has 184bhp and has absolutely adequate acceleration, handles well and with good fuel consumption. It is not out yet in EU region but that will be a very competitive vehicle if pricing is right.
The electric motor is doing most of the acceleration, and there is no CVT to slow you down.
@@eliadbu e:CVT has been out in EU for quite a while, unlike US.
@@ReconTHG e:CVT is quite different from traditional CVT can't compare response and acceleration between the two.
How long do the shocks, struts, CV joints, lower & upper arms ball joints, control arms and links, drive shafts last on these Hondas?
My mom and I drove 1 hour to a Honda dealership that had the only white HRV Sport trim around in the area. And we’ve been waiting a month for it to be in stock.
Bring back the old 2.4 which the old CRVS and Accords had and put it in this baby! You'd get more power with tried and true reliability!
Wish I had one of these. Love reliable Hondas.
Great videos, what do you think about Acura TLX 2021 base model?
I’m a Seminole fan and went to FSU too. Very proud of this. But how long will these CVTs last?
Just drove my ‘21 CR-V with a 1.5L engine from Bergen County, New Jersey to Virginia Beach with my wife, son and a cargo space full of luggage, went the speed limit the whole way and made it all the way there on a full tank without stopping. It’s a great vehicle!
Love it when you talk about Honda/Acura always the best.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I just got a 2024 hrv lx for lease and I love it! Great first lease car for trips and all around weather conditions
I picked up a 2016 HRV EX AWD recently and I love it. Amazing car for someone coming from an old civic who needed more space and comfort and winter capabilities. Newer ones seem a lot more generic and homogenized. The CVT is not as bad as people say if you have it under warranty. I really enjoy the paddle shifters for when I need extra power.
A couple of months ago I rented a 2019 HRV Sport for three days. I liked the vehicle. I thought the acceleration was sufficient.

Scotty, what’s your opinion, the Mazda 2.5 NA a decent engine, might it last 200k miles plus. I plan to purchase one new and give to my son or daughter, or should I pick up the civic 2.0 with a standard. I want a hatch with a manual is why.
Scotty what do you think about the new 2023 Toyota Camry with the 2.5L non hybrid
Match this with a 6spd. MT and I'd be at the dealership's door in the morning. No GDI turbos or CVTs for me.
I got the older one (2007) and I'm happy 😁 I get average close to 28 mpg mixed driving with the 2.4 not too shabby I think.
Me too... 2017 SE is the peak Camry
I think the older ones are better too.
How do you feel about Cr-v 2020 model? I'm trying to buy a used one.
Your review on this car made me finalize my decision to get a 2023 Honda HRV sport . I have been following your channel and i respect your honest reviews . 👍 👍
Test drove one lately. It looks nice inside and out. However, this car is awfully underpowered. It really needs the 2.4 engine that was used on the last gen CRV. If you drive on the interstate often, don’t get this car. It’s nothing about fun to drive but for safety concerns.
Do you think it's on par with the Honda Fit or more powerful than the Fit?
@@chucknorris8704 same power but more weight..so slower and the new hrv redesign is god awful ugly
It's an excellent car for a daily driver around town. People buy these for a dependable, long lasting, low maintenance.
I agree! This was my car. I mostly drive in Tallahassee and as a college student I needed a more reliable car than the Audi, the local audi dealer had 6-8 week waits to bring the car in for issues which was just not feasible for me. I only go on I-95 when driving back to Rhode Island once a year, so it wasn’t a huge determining factor for me.

RI to Tally 😂.
I live in North Tallahassee off of Thomasville Rd in Bradfordville!
Go Noles and FAMU!
If you can't maintain a turbo vehicle like a race car driver, then don't buy one. You must change the oil & filter every six-months or 5,000 miles whichever occurs first, period! Like Scotty says, oil & filters are cheap, engines [and turbos, emphasis added] are not. LOL
Even if you do a good maintenance, German car will still break down fast. They are not built for last. That’s their nature.
Even with good maintenance you can run into issues eventually if the car is only direct injection instead of dual injection due to carbon build up. My 2018 WRX for example is starting to have carbon build up issues after 5 years even though I got oil changes every 3000 miles. I knew what I was getting into, kinda feel bad for people who didn't heh.
@@Ziegfried82 Yep, happened on my 2014 ML350 BlueTec Mercedes. Turbo seals and hoses, both sides oil leaks and even the oil filter housing seal leaked. That one cost me $500 for an $8.00 seal. I got rid of her for my 2023 Lexus ES300h, Ultra Luxury with additional options. LOL
I have this combo in my civic, never changed the trans fluid and motor has 240k and still going. It’s definitely not fast but it’s reliable and easy to work on
I have a 2015 Civic. The base model. Nothing added extra. Is that a good engine in there? Just recently had to replace front axle assembly. But never anything with the engine. Has 137k’ miles. Should i be expecting trouble soon? I changed the transmission fluid, coolant, got new brakes and rotors between aril and may of this year. Yes i also change the oil every 4,500 miles. I really dont know anything other than the stuff you’re suppose to maintain lol
Made in Mexico, Celaya, GTO! So, I was expecting Scotty to say that this is JUNK like he has always been saying about Mexican made products.
That said, the HRV is designed in Japan, has the previos generation CRV rear suspension with the Gen 11 Civic front setup. This is not a SUV but a cross-over based on the Civic. Great car for the price and much better than the competition. I drove it several times and love it. You want more power, buy a turbo kit and tune it; another perfect Honda sleeper.
😂😂😂😂
In typical Honda fashion it probably handles great
It always makes me sad when he says that because my cousin works there😔hahaha
Anytime I've had a vehicle made in America, I've always had issues with fit and finish, or something along the lines of not being installed right. The 2 vehicles I owned from Hermosillo Mexico, have never let me down at all. I'd trust getting from a plant in Mexico over the US.
Honda is definitely a great car! I work on cars and I agree 100% with Scotty. Honda or Toyota only for me 😂 Honda 2.0L is bulletproof
I bought a used Honda Pilot 2017 with 120,000 miles. It runs great. I absolutely love it!
I love your channel Scotty, but different regions get different incentives(discounts) from the manufacturer and they can’t control that. They can only offer the customer what the manufacturer offers, but the dealership can certainly offer lower then MSRP.
Genuine question, With a heavy body and smaller engine , its about the driver not revving the motor and putting extra stress on that motor that determines its longevity isnt it ? If the guy is used to a zippy audi he may just drive this into the ground by going to hard
I agree but it is a Honda….
It’s only about 200 lb more than a civic it’s not that much of a difference.
I just wanna know what kind of rails those are
What do you think about the new Honda CRV 2.0L?Thanks
Test drove a Subaru Impreza with a CVT. It was all noise and no go. The cure for a small engine is a manual transmission. The best Toyota engine was the 22-RE. I had it an 88 4-Runner, even with a MT it was slow off the line. It was slow to merge, but at 200K miles it was just broken in.
Honda should bring back their 2.4 liter inline 4 for US market as base engine. It was very pleasant combination with 5 speed automatic.
That's too bullet-proof. Most vehicles now are not designed to last like the older ones.
I’d like to find a 2017 Accord with this 2.4L i4 mated to a 6-spd manual. They’re hard to find. 🤨
The 2022 hr v was a better vehicle. The 2023 has direct injection, is not as fuel efficient, is heavier, has less interior room, has no magic seats, is longer...taller...wider...heavier , and costs $4000.00 more.
I am surprised that Honda went backwards when they "redesigned" the HR V ! !
great video, love hearing Scotty preach to the choir....on my third Honda now, ha,ha.
Was sl pissed my accord ex wagon 5 speed manual died a premature death at 241k, lol
Just bought a 2003 honda integra DC5. 20 years old and still going strong. 2ltr inline 4
I just got my daughter who went off to college last fall a new 2023 Honda HRV last Dec 2022. I told her when I bought the car that she does not need to worry about replacing this car for at least 10-15 years until she finishes medical school and her residency. I told her the exact same thing that this 2.0 L non-turbo Honda engine is one of the most dependable engine Honda has ever made!! It will last forever if you take good care of it.
Her prev car was my 2004 Acura TL that I bought when she was one month old. Now her younger brother drives the 2004 TL that has 196K miles and still shifts smoothly, and the TL will be 19 years old next MONTH!!!!
Oh, BTW I bought the 2023 HRV at MSRP from the same Honda Dealership I bought my new 2007 Honday Odyssey that I sold in 2019 (had 245K miles with an engine and transmission that still worked like new). Also, I bought my new 2018 Honda Odyssey from the same Honda dealership. Honda cars will take of you if you take care of the car !!!
If it's not maintained properly it doesn't matter lol
@@mikie1466 Correct, but some brands will fall apart even if you keep up with the recommended maintenance schedule. Nissan and Chrysler cars come to my mind immediately.
@@akidwaimdthat’s why we in my family buy Hondas and Toyotas!
Hey Scotty, Hondas sport mode (if available) for regular cars are now on the shifter.
You get normal and eco through the other buttons, but you have to shift to “S” for sports mode.
Finally got to test drive one. I loved the ride, and that Motor! Smooth! Fun! And just as cheap as a Chevy Trax, without the Turbo, and not the Carbon build up! One of the smoothest rides. Everything so simple!
That is ZRV in rest of the world. The HRV/Vezel we get is completely different.
Also the 2019 HRV i got over here is called the Vezel. And it is a 1.5L Hybrid with Dual Clutch Transmission putting 190hp.
The hrv is the subcompact suv. It should be compared with the corolla cross
The new HR-V is based on the Civic platform
@@kevinobrien9271 and? it’s still considered subcompact. The CRV is also based on the civic platform, yet it’s the real rav4 competitor.
It cracks me up for people to complain about CVTs not having get up and go. Purely psychological.
Haha! This was my car. I knew it was slow before I bought it, but the comparable Mazda was 40k out the door vs. this being 32, so a couple seconds off the 0-60 didn’t make a huge impact on my decision. I mostly drive in the city so it actually has decent power to get around town!
Just buy a car with a manual
@@fortheloveofnoise9298manuals are getting harder and harder to find anymore. 😢
We had a 04 civic hybrid it had cvt and had that car for 14 years and not a single problem with cvt right now we have a 2018 Honda Crv and it has CVT.
@@Perich29 just keep up with the trans. fluid drain&fills every 30-40K miles.
1st time car buyer here. How can I do what the guy Scotty was talking about and find car models at MSRP for random dealerships far away? Is there a website for that?
I am looking into the HR-V. Currently have a Honda Fit. Used to drive a1999 Toyota Sienna with a crappy brake that scare the life out of me a lot. The Fit was an upgrade and I was really impressed with the brake when I test drive it off the lot.
I owned two Honda fits loved my 2015 fit great car with awesome cargo room and safety rating to be proud of
Get the SPORT model.
Seems like it's a car that will last a pretty long time. Not overpowered, might be underpowered but people do fine on a lot less power.
BlameGamer, yeah a lot of us are not so concerned with 0 - 60 times that automotive reviewers love to rave on! 🤨
The HR-V is not a race car, but then it wasn’t designed to be one.
@@carlovanrijk4039 We're more concerned about the safety and how often will crap go wrong. But they refer to these kinds of cars as "appliances".
What do you think about the SH-AWD of Honda?
I have a 2016 HRV 6 speed manual & 2 wheel drive with 124K. The car is very reliable except for the paint problem which Honda is fixing.
Only Scotty can pull off jeans on jeans.
The Canadian tuxedo
Genius observation.
I am sticking with my 2011 Civic , after 12 years I had my first engine part go out , the thermostat failed open , so wham bam replaced that and did a coolant change and back on the road again !
Minus the no 4wd this is exactly how I'd spec this, the dealer that I work at just bought way to many cars I'm going to wait until they want to clear inventory for the new cars and pick one of these up for less than msrp
Had our HR-V 2016 and really liked the versatile folding seats:
60k so far:)
I had a 22 Honda Civic Sport 2L with the CVT. My main complaint was that it was too slow and I blamed it on the CVT. It felt like the engine had more to give but the CVT was just holding it back. I traded it in for a Hyundai Elantra N 2.0T. May not last me as long but it's super fun and actually gets better gas mileage when I'm easy on it. 😂
CVT is purely psychological. I would have never traded in my Honda for a Korean car, not only for reliability but also for resell, and maintenance. But whatever floats your boat lol
@@KT-si9rz I don't disagree, I trade in my cars right around when the warranty goes out anyway so reliability doesn't really matter to me because I'm not keeping the car for the long run.
@@KT-si9rzI don’t mind but I hate that slippage you get occasionally when you take your foot off the gas around 30 mph
I finally gave in and bought a Corolla with CVT, not much other choice, so now I change the oil every 5K, and the Trans fluid started at 45K and every 3rd oil change. I lost my last car when the CVT went bad at 85K and they wanted $4K to rebuild trans.
Mazda doesn't have CVT
I didnt the get the corolla because they were already recalling their cvts. Then redesigning them with a mechanical 1st gear. I doubt it's much better.
@@barbward-qn4ix Yes I hear and made and assembled in Japan where the workers have pride, and not worthless Union slugs every color of the rainbow.
Was your last car a Nissan? Just wondering is all.
Yea I would've choose mazda over that piece of crap lol
My 12' Altima has a 2.5 litre inline 4 cylinder built in Yokohama, Japan. Hs never used a drop of oil in nearly 12 years.
I just got a hr v 2024 sport at msrp with a lifetime warranty on the drive train and I love it
I live in Minnesota and we definitely need the AWD in the winter sometimes.
Here in NC mountains, too!
Get snow tires! They make a front wheel drive car into a 4x4. I was never a believer until I actually put them on my Mustang and my Honda FIT. Climb right up a steep hill from a dead stop with 4" of snow. Just keep a cheap 4x4 pickup in your garage for the 2 weeks that you actually need a 4x4.
Perhaps, but if you buy the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires (all weather tires not to be confused with all season tires) that are 3 Peak snow rated tires you will do fine with only front wheel drive. I have these tires on my 2018 Honda Odyssey and 2020 Acura RDX. When Michelin released the CrossClimate+ tires in the mid 2010's they created a new class of tires (All Weather tires) that have characteristis of both a snow tire and an all season tire. They improved the tire and named the 2nd generation tire: CrossClimate2 tires. In fact in some tests against some snow tires, the Michelin CrossClimate2 perform better than some dedicated snow tires !!!!
With the CrossClimate2 you do not need to change tires twice a year.
This was my car and opted not to get awd due to the many problems I had with the Audi Quattro system and because I spend the winters in Florida- the car only comes to New England in the summer :)
I’ve had my 2023 HRV since March and absolutely love it I’m getting 40plus hwy and 33 city. Yea it’s not as fast as my previous vehicle a 2011 Toyota Tundra Platinum with 5.7 iForce V8 but the gas mileage and ride quality are miles way better. I originally wanted a Toyota Corolla Cross or Subaru Crosstreck but I found my local Honda dealership was the only dealership for miles around not adding vehicle cost adjustments 8k more than msrp for Subaru and right at 10k more for the Toyota. I paid about 3 k over msrp for my Honda after all was said and done with tax and fees.
Same. My brother just bought a brand new 2023 Toyota Camry for $3000 over msrp. He paid $29,000 instead of the $26,000 msrp.
40mpg? How fast were you driving? Not 70mph
Your car is underpowered and weak.
@@CrispyHulk1 Them is fighting words!
@@level7041 state hwy speeds of 55 to 60 can’t really speed too much on my route to work because the state troupers constantly are patrolling the road….
what are the advantages and disadvantages of front wheel drive to rear wheel drive?
Why? My grandpa upgraded from his 2009 Civic to this. He likes it and I believe it is much better too. The only thing I miss are the older style grey cloth seats. The new one has more of a sandpaper feel. 2.0L engine (same as the civic) but a CVT.
I got a 2023 Acura RDX AWD with a tech package for around the same amount of money! 2.4L 10 speed automatic with turbo. It’s really fun to drive and picks up when you need it to. I feel really safe with it. I named him Owen 😊
That is a lot of money for a small SUV.
It's a 2.0 liter turbo standard on all RDX 2019+. I have a 22 and love it, too.
It's a 2.0t not a 2.4 on the new RDX
Hi Scotty, I currently own a Mercedes C200 petrol. Even though it's only 6 years old with 8000 miles on the clock I'm having to shell out over a £1000 on a replacement NOX sensor and a battery. This has proved to me that I no longer want a German car. Having previously owned one of the original Honda HRVs from new I decided to test drive the new HRV. Over here in Britain they come only as a 1.5lt hybrid and your friend should be grateful he's got a 2lt standard engine as the one I tried was slower than a tortoise and I couldn't live with the revvy engine. Shame as I love Hondas.
Okay
damn maybe get a type R somehow
Are those cross bars detachable? (Door clamp?) Looks like a universal cross bars. I wonder if it could fit my 2023 rav4 le. (2022-2023 rav le doesn't have bolts for roof racks 😔)
Yes they are. Those are the dealer ones. You can order them and install them or they can.
My grandpa just got a 2023 Hyundai Tucson a couple months ago because it is fully loaded and was a lot cheaper than the RAV4… SMH. It does look nice tho
