2016 Honda HR-V consumer reviews

The 2016 Honda HR-V EX is my first ever car and I love it. I financed it used as of 3 weeks now of this review. It had 49,898 miles on it. The best way to compare it is, if you have driven or been a passenger of the Honda FIT, then its essentially what you receive with a few extra inches for cargo, AWD. It takes the best piece of the subcompact car while taking signature pieces from their CR-V. It has 2 12V slots, 1 in front and 1 with passengers to help with charging needs plus 2 additional 2 USB ports under the stereo consel. This really helps to alleviate fighting for the USB for charging. Bluetooth works well and is straightforward. Also in between both USB slots is an HDMI slot, ( I personally find this a waste and resources could or shouldve been applied elsewhere). This is meant to plug an to watch a movie or something on screen but the directions on how to use it is frustrating and confusing. I don?t bother. Instrument cluster is straightforward and easy to read. Transmission shifts feel like a breeze. When climbing speed it is slow and you hear the engine rev more than you feel the speed. If you are expecting the kick of a honda civic, it is not happening. The true way to feel the kick and speed and acceleration for the 4 cylinder mini beast is to shift into Standard mode and use the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Time your shifts properly this puppy picks speed rather quickly and you feel the wallop and propels forward. Handling is on point to the Honda Fit as said before without the size of the CR-V to become a problem in urban neighborhoods. Gas Mileage is AMAZING!!! City you get as advertised with eco mode and whatever other tricks you know how to save on gas. Highway is way more than advertised. When I drove this off the lot, first thing I did was drive to the gas station, top off and drive it home to see if I would burn any kind of gas. Turns out with some stop and go traffic and AC cranked to high I still went 45 miles before a single square was even taken off. That is literally from the dealership to my front door. Headlights are good but im changing it out for my own preference. Foglights work well. Critiques or changes: Take away the HDMI port, no one needs it or at least make it straight forward like pairing your phone. Also, some vehicles have a handy compartment in trunk on the sides to store emergency supplies like jumper cablez, or 1st aid. I would love to see that. Otherwise, this is def worth recommending. After TONS of research before getting this and driving my wife crazy for a year this is def a good first car. We will hang onto this until it dies or if our family goes past 2 kids, because like I said, no more than 2 car seats. 1 seat safely in the middle but 2 at most if placing on each side.

This is the 6th Honda I've owned. From the 1977 Honda civic to now I have enjoyed them all but I believe the Honda HRV is my favorite. The HRV has a nice design with an abundance of interior storage. You feel safe driving on the highway with great gas economy. Seating is comfortable. Just an overall good vehicle.

It is a great car, good engine, great performance, comfort, and space. I just miss, because I own an intermediary model, some items like power driver seat and the sunglasses compartment. Besides that, I love my HR-V with low key maintenance.

I absolutely love this car; for the most part it's great on gas very sporty all my friends and family love love it. The only thing that I do not like is that the console is small and it does not have auto start, but besides that it is the perfect car and I absolutely love it and would recommend it.

It's been two months since we bought this vehicle. I couldn't be any happier with our choice. I have a long commute (1hr, 20mins), and this car has made it a lot more enjoyable and efficient. I've been averaging 33 mpg! The "Economy" feature has made me a more conscious driver. I'm actually learning how to maximize my mileage. Love the space, Bluetooth connectivity, and how "firm" it feels on the road.

We chose this car because it gets great fuel mileage and has lots of cargo room in a small package. We have loved everything about it. The only hiccup - it doesn't have adjustable intermittent wipers.

This car has a lot of issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. A lot. Mainly with the ability to show which song and artist you are listening to. I am on my third replacement of the entire radio and Bluetooth system, and it still messes up. When I play music from Apple Music or Spotify via Bluetooth it will not show the song info. It just won?t. Unless you open podcasts, play a podcast, and switch it back to music; it MIGHT show the info then. Also, getting blue tooth connected is a frustrating fight every day. The phone doesn?t just connect automatically. Sometimes I have to restart the car, sometimes I have to delete the phone from the car?s Bluetooth memory, sometimes I have to just go the whole day without Bluetooth. I?ve never gone an entire week in my 2 years of having this car without having serious Bluetooth issues. It ruins the whole car. My other issue is the quality. My car is the highest from level, and it?s falling apart. I just reached the 2nd anniversary of purchasing it. The center console lid broke off in the first couple months, and the windshield wipers needed replacement after only 6 months. It?s barely been 2 years of owning it and I don?t think I?m that rough with it.

very good car for for driving to work,plenty trunk room,folding flat back sits, offers great visibility,easy to handle,good ratings,can not beat the value for the money

Drove our last car until all I could do was have it towed to a junkyard. What a pleasure it is to drive this HR-V. I call it our Goldilocks Car..."not too big...Not too small...Just right!" Comfortable/quiet/smooth-riding. I only have about 1400 miles on it, so I realize this is the honeymoon stage, but I couldn't be happier with every aspect of this car. I feel like I made just the right choice, and my wife agrees. Love that Honda quality!

Honda, Hr-v is perfect for my family. It fits on all occasions, moving something, joy riding, traveling, or working! It has the space for all of my needs and it is stylish but simple to maintain! I love it!
