I have same car for 1.5 years so far good car . No issues. Did some research on this engine and Transmission. They last longer then a turbo charged engine. Should last 300000 miles or more if you like to keep your car for 20 years . Very safe and reliable car

I have the 2023 XL AWD,. I do not have any problems. I get 23 miles in city, 27 on highway. No problems with paint. ItI don’t need a hot rod. The power is fine. And you apparent I do not know how to drive in the rain. I love my HRV.

I think you’re missing a point you bought an entry-level SUV. It’s not gonna have all the features at the higher and ones have. I think next time you buy another car, you might wanna look into the CRV you may be more happier with that .

If you have wheel spin it might be that you are being too aggressive with the throttle. I agree that the TPMS should show the individual tyre pressures though, my last car did and this Honda system is a real annoyance. As for wiper fluid, just top it up regularly. Interesting about the maintenance, they should change the oil regardless of mileage. However, remember that Kia and Hyundai might have reliability issues, my friends with them certainly have. Nissans are best avoided. In Europe only the hybrid is sold and specs differ. Thanks for the review. Oh, in Britain tyres are never rotated, as you call it. Oh, I didn’t watch the latest bit as you seemed to be eating in your car, I wouldn’t do this in mine, ever. Eat outside or in a restaurant, drink water only in the car to avoid dehydration, if you must. Thanks again.

@soflojoshautoreview Hiya, do you have anymore updates on your hrv? Like has it reached 20,000 miles yet? Also does yours make a loud rattling sound inside the cabin when you are idling at a light and when you put it in reverse? Mine does it from time to time and Honda says it’s part of the high pressure fuel pump? Is this true?

With my old civic I have a small dent in the door but no paint loss. 2023 HRV a door caused total paint loss exposing metal. To get better mpg. You need to take your foot off the gas as much as you can. I have my display set on fuel it shows a sliding bar. You need to keep that bar moving to the right as much as possible. If it slides to the left your mpg will drop. The center display select trip computer. The top square is Current Drive touch that one not trip A or B. It will allow you to see if you can get better mpg. I got my car used with 5k mile. That person got 21 mpg on the current trip driving it to my house 40 miles freeway. I only drive this car two days out of the week. So my mpg is at 28. But that cuz I use the current drive data to get better mpg and it’s mostly freeway.

I think maintenance package should extend because I only travel 7000-8000 miles a year. So I’m only probably going to get one of those services. Thats why I paid extra to extend that. I also have a crack in my windshield that has to be replaced so I’m going to be paying attention to the traction info on my screen thank you for pointing that out. Also yes the which tire on the screen would be nice I’ve had to deal with that a couple of times because where I live is extremely hot in the summer months. I enjoyed your video. Oh and now I need to go try one of those chipotle sandwiches at panera 😂

I replaced my windshield again because I got another huge chip in the windshield. After they did the recalibration, which is a certified one from Honda, it still doesn’t notify when I’m going over the line but for some reason the cruise control when you have your hands off the wheel works perfectly fine. A lot of things are going to have to change for the refresh because these are things that a modern CUV should have when you compare it to the Hyundai/Kia products heck even the Toyota Corolla Cross has better features for the price

Although I would like to have it, it really isn't an issue for me. It has been flawless minus the front seat lowers a little on hot days and I have to jack it back up when I get back in 8 hours later other then that I have had Zero issues. Thank you for the 1 year review.

The build quality is amazing even my Audi and BMW friends like it, recommend to anyone. Weird why your sense don’t work correctly I’d get Honda to send it off to a specialist or something they need to sort that out for you I use it all the time it’s a great system only point may be a bit heavy on breaking sometimes may be me,my wife says it’s fine.

@soflojoshautoreview 10 ай бұрын

The CR-V is a great SUV even the new Generation! I have to say that when I mention cheap it’s because of how little content is offered to compared to Europe and Asia. We get less features on the HR-V compared to the ZR-V which is kind of frustrating given the HR-V was originally designed for NA. The ZR-V was actually a last minute decision for Asia/Europe and Middle East so it feels like we were put on the back burner.

@@soflojoshautoreview I agree, the lack of USB ports and even a freakin armrest is the back is a deal breaker for me. We travel from PA to SC once or twice a year and the people in the back seat deserve at least a few concerts. Same with the new Civic, I'd want the LX because I don't want turbo, but with the LX I guess we're lucky to even get a back seat. PS.......... be careful who's in front of you especially on a highway, I NEVER, ever drive behind a truck that's loaded with stones, and as a result, our 20 year old VW Passat (with under 37K miles) has one tiny paint chip on the hood.

Does this around every 10th time I leave the vehicle.

Your HR-V with that 2.0 multi-port injection engine will most likely out live all the car company options you mentioned. Also research the safety of the other cars you mentioned. Trendy is not quality. I would stick with Honda HR-V over other brands with engines which blow, and transmission which implode. Looks wise the car you have is rather cool and will not look odd in a decade hence. I am thinking of a new car soon. CrossTrek 2.0 is something I may consider, Car is built in Japan. Their AWD is legendary.

Sport probably has very low profile tires. Low tire pressure kills fuel economy. Low profile tires are more likely to lose air going over bumps over time. That is why Scotty Kilmer on youtube is always preaching about looking over your car more frequently. Also there are bad people who intentionally put nails under tire to leak air. They contribute to climate change which causes more severe storms and the dredded polar vortex. It's not only ice vehicles causing all of the problems. Maybe that is why Honda is holding onto ice on HRV.

??????? Never had a windshield wiper fluid low reminder.

Get the EXL, but you are still gonna get rocks hitting your car, brake dust. How often do you really change your wiper fluid????????? You need a hobby. Honda tech in not the best, but the safety system is standard on all trims. Glad most people don’t base choosing a car based on your experience with this car. Geeesh

@soflojoshautoreview 2 ай бұрын

The HR-V doesn’t notify you when your Wiper Fluid is low. On top of that, the tank for it is actually small. The only input of reminder is when you got to spray it and all it does is a sound when it’s empty. I tried looking throughout the manual to see if I can enable such a reminder and nothing is listed. As for the video as a whole, it was an update after owning it for a year and with the amount of miles I put on it was expected to have paint chips here and there. The Video is also to give prospective buyers a heads up and a third opinion about ownership. Many videos out there just show the review of the car but not the overall ownership of a vehicle and that’s what I wanted to deliver to the audience. Last note is that the Safety features once the windshield was replaced was recalibrated which is required in order for the features to work. I actually had to get it replaced again recently because of another crack in the windshield. They did the recalibration again and the safety features want to work when they want to. Only thing that works is when a car brakes it’ll notify me but lane departure warning works when it wants to.
