Check out the Honda HR-V Cheat Sheet here: redriven.com/cheat_sheet/hond...
Looking for a used Honda HR-V? - carsforsale.com.au/honda/hr-v
While the first iteration of the Honda HR-V was short-lived here in Australia, surviving only two years on local roads, the second-incarnation landed in Australia in 2015.
It continues Honda's reputation for compact, practical motoring and great value for money. But that was when they were new, what about now they're getting on a bit and have thousands of kilometres on the clock?

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

I have one, I thought the rear handles were cool until I tried to open the rear door with a shopping bag in each arm. Or if you are carrying a box. Anytime both hands are occupied, the handle is too high to reach. Kitsch over practicality.

Thank you for your insightful review. I just bought a 2016 HRV, literally on the day this video came out! So glad you gave the HRV a good review! I too appreciate its practical space inside for the compact size, the excellent trim level, Honda reliability and the fetching look. Here in New Zealand, however, the 2016 models had a different nomenclature, with the HRV S being the base model, the HRV L being the mid level and the HRV Sport (and up to Sport NT with all additional extras such as side step platform) being the top spec in NZ. All these correspond to the equivalent to Australia in terms of trim. I was able to get a HRV Sport for $20k which I thought was a great deal. As you have noted some of the black gloss around the gear stick and climate controls are often scratched up but I found some car wax can restore it. Fuel efficiency is good and apparently improves after the car has done a few 10,000kms. I picked up my secondhand HRV from a car yard out of town and took the opportunity to take my car on a 2 day round trip. It was excellent. Easy to drive and smooth with plenty of space for the family. I personally think the front seat is very comfortable, much more comfortable than in my previous car. My HRV also comes with electric seat adjustment for the driver (not for the front passenger though) which meant I could adjust the seat how I want for max comfort on the long journey. I also tried out the other seats during the journey when my partner drove and they were also all comfortable front and back with plenty of space to doze off. One of the things I noticed though is that as the fuel tank is under the front seats (to allow for the magi seats), there is no storage under the front seats and there is a pronounce 'lip' or 'wall' under the front seats if your seat is pulled back which may impact where you want to rest your left leg.

Great review, thank you. I bought a new HRV VTi (Australian base model) in 2015. No mechanical issues at all since then. Now done about 54 thousand km. It is serviced regularly. Very economical but I read somewhere that the engine Honda used in this car is/was not one of Honda’s latest engines. Driver side window motor has recently started making a clicking noise for a few seconds when the glass reaches the top of the window frame. Left side front door always needed a slightly more forceful nudge to close when all the windows are up - Honda mechanic told me it was something to do with the pressure in the cabin when windows are up. The original battery lasted 6 years. A few gripes. This model did not have built-in Sat Nav. Blue paint sometimes takes on a purple hue depending on the light. Orange oil stick is a silly Honda choice as it is harder to see the oil level. No power socket in the boot, a bit odd for a SUV type vehicle- the two higher grade models for the same 2015 car have the extra socket and they all have the same body. Speedo always reads 4 to 6 kph higher (at 60 kph) than my plug-in sat nav or the dash cam. It is very reliable and practical car.

My 2010 Prius blew the head gasket at 300k miles. I wanted a new Prius but the pricing was insane at this time. I saw this video and went looking for a gentle used hrv. My local Honda dealer had new models with 2.49% financing. Got exl trim with front wheel drive for msrp. My first two tanks of gas have returned a combine 34.2 mpg with a nearly 50/50 split on city/highway. My cost of ownership will be nearly identical for my new hrv compared to the inflated Prius prices. Compared to the ride and power of a Prius this is a luxury sports car.

I just picked up my new 2022 (US) HR-V LX trim 2 wheel drive and I love it. Its very nimble and light and very Quick, its not a speed demon but gets up to speed nicely. Has paddle shift mode if you are feeling sporty. I has a 1.8l with a 1st gear take off CVT,, I don't like CVT's but this one has a real first gear, after that it transitions to a CVT and the car has no problems accelerating . The new technology is awesome, apple and android play are so nice to have! Good luck with your! :-)

Great report. I see that the owner has turned the driver headrest around, bc it will give u more space to keep your head up more strait and not be a "pain in the neck". I do the same since years. One problem u missed is, it has no 360 cam and no BSM=Blind spot monitor. The "Lane watch" is a lame solution, old and cheap if it's without BSM like in the HRV. Other then that, i love my 2020 HRV RS top model. Needs overall 5,9l/100km in 23600km. No problems with her only normal Honda services.I changed the Infotainment screen for a bigger aftermarket wireless 9" octa core Android Auto unit. Changed the wheels to Volk Racing TE37 18" front and 19" back. Lighter then the originals I'm so happy. Btw, i'm in Thailand and your HRV down under is also made here. Thank U and take care

We have a 2016 HR-V with 85,000 km. Ours is the 1800 CVT and while not particularly powerful is adequate for normal driving. The all wheel drive works very well here in Canada when going through snow. I have Michelin X-ice snow tires and the car is fantastic in snow and icy conditions, plus it all happens without the need to turn anything on or off. I agree with the front seats comment, not comfortable for long distance driving. Lack of thigh support (I'm 6' - 2" ) Room for hauling and trick rear seats are fantastic. Reliability is fantastic. No issues yet, I have the regular maintenance done at the dealers shop!

I bought a 2016 in may of 2015 in the United States I am happy with it This car tackles snow like a champ and it handles well There is a minor problem with outside trim distorting and peeling My headlights have fogged over but that’s hardly unique to the Honda HRV. Touch screens are not great but ok. Built in navigation is mostly ok but no speed limit indicator which is a big minus for me. Not a problem since I use Waze these days and updates to the nav are not free. Front seats are comfortable enough despite what I’ve read from reviews. Plenty of power for Highway and city driving without being a muscle car

I've had mine for a year and a half and I really like it, a euro-spec 2017 petrol manual highest trim-level model. I'm in Europe, so the spec sheet is a bit different though. Over here we could pick between a 1.6 diesel manual, or a 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol available in both manual and CVT. I'm a bit weirded out at those reports saying that the seats are uncomfortable though. Now I've not driven a huge amount of cars and comfort is also pretty subjective, but I can definitely say that I'm very comfortable in the HR-V seat, maybe more than any other car I've driven. I'm a million times better seated in the HR-V than I am in my other current car (2018 Opel Corsa), that's for damn sure. I also really like how both my elbows tend to rest naturally dead on the armrests on both sides, it really adds up to the comfort in the seat, especially on longer trips (elbow room is very generous, I might add). At the end of the day, comfort is so subjective that it's best to just try out the damn seats for yourself rather than thrusting reports claiming that comfort is bad or some idiot on the internet saying that it's great. We're all built different, and we all have varying levels expectations, sensitivity and pickiness.

The HR-V has taken the crown off the KIA Carnival for best fuel consumption of the cars you guys have reviewed which is something I didn't think would happen until you were closer to the 500k subscriber mark.

Also from the your the same height Adam as 34.18 Alba (subsidiary of Seiko watches) watch faces from top link to bottom link tall.(excluded the band as different sizes for different people) Also in the youtube Q&A video my old man said it looked like you had been trained as a jazz drummer from what he saw and i forgot to ask before if that was the case?

With some of the biggest irritation being the touch controls, maybe the base LX is most appealing, with its additional hard controls for radio and climate. You trade-off other things of course, but it may be worth it. After all, you use audio and climate controls a lot more often than most other things.

the real bastard of the bunch is 7 speed DCT, Hybrid variant. The clutch-set is know to go out of calibration and wear out prematurely (because dot-4 fluid in hydraulic system of clutch engage/disengage will accumulate moisture). it is very important to check the cap of hydraulic fluid reservoir for any milky deposits and it is better to change fluid every 10k kms. after you change the fluid do remember to ask your mechanic to hook up a scanner and look for "Clutch zero-point learning error". In case of error recalibrate the clutch or it will eat itself up and will cost you US$2000 in replacement.

Very helpful review. This is one of the small SUVs I’m considering to replace my beloved 2016 Polo, which unfortunately has to go because my bank account can’t keep up with the cost of repairs. 😢 I never would have considered Honda (or even an SUV), but my friend has one of these and says it has been super reliable. My mechanic has warned me that parts and labour can be expensive for Hondas though, is this generally the case in Australia? It couldn’t be as expensive as VW parts at the very least. The other small SUVs I’m considering are the Vitara, CH-R (probably out of my price range though unfortunately), and the Yaris Cross (but I’m not too fussed on the aesthetics of these). And now I’m all confused as to whether I should hunt for a hybrid or settle with a slightly older edition for now. 🤷🏼‍♀️ There’s so much to think about when buying a bloody car.

Beeing an old retired male, of course I ride a Honda H-RV. And yes, it has a CVT transmission. Firstly, because manual gearboxes are from way far in the past i.m.h.o. and secondly, the inventor of the Variomatis, the first CVT transmissions with rubber belts, lived and worked very close to where I live. He invented the steel assembled push belt which is presently used in modern CVT transmissions. My H-RV is a 1.5 liter Turbo Sport and it has 134 kW or 182 hp. If I want I can shift up and down with peddles, but that I only use using the engine brake shifting down or descending a hill. As said before, why shift by hand if the CVT can do it better then the driver and much faster too. This H-RV has everything in the option list except for a glass roof and a tow bar. The car can pull 1400 kgs braked trailers or caravans. After having owned and driven a few BMW's with V8 engines, I can say that driving this H-RV is very pleasant, especially as there are not many around.

I purchased a used 2017 with 60k miles for my daughter. The car performed well until around 100k miles. The CVT transmisson failed but Honda extended the warranty to 150k miles and replaced it at no charge. Another area of concern is the paint The Ivory pearl white color has a problem. It too was warrantied by Honda. Otherwise a great car with outstanding mileage and features,.

Great video but and now I'm not sure if it's just me but it sounded like you were reviewing the Honda HIV 🤣🤣🤣

seats are a bit uncomfortable for big guys and bears on long road trips - so I have a wee cushion I put on the drivers side for the ol undercarriage

We have the same car but with a different name and different drivetrain we call this Honda Vezel and it comes with a 1.5 engine with a hybrid system and also with a DCT transmission

2:08 most countries could get a manual transmission and optional AWD (but only with the CVT). And 3:41 the first "car" with door handles like that was the Nissan Pathfinder/Terrano in 1987.

That's why we like the LX version

It's fine for what it is, but considering competition in the subcompact crossover segment, it's kinda behind the times (still better than the Toyota CH-R though).

the first car to have integrated handles in the pillar is the Alfa Romeo 156 i think

Alfa Romeo 156 - first car with hidden reach door handles. 😉 Loved it, although it was sooo unreliable.

Honda isn't doing so well in Australia these days but their cars are usually really robust... It's ashamed the marketing team is trying to compete with luxury brands these days... Great video! This is off topic but you should do a review on a depreciated supercar or an E6X M5/M6 would also be cool!

Mazda is also positioning themselves as Japanese mainstream premium but they’re selling like hotcakes so not sure what led to Hondas downfall here.

Honda moved to Fixed pricing and the buying public were like hell no

@@User-cb4jm The main reason it hasn't worked for Honda is because aside from the latest Civic they haven't made their cars look premium enough, in fact they haven't updated them at all. That and they only have like 4 models in their entire range in Australia now.

Honda also stopped R&D during the GFC and has never really recovered. I used to love Honda but they are falling behind in what they offer for the price. Even MG are outselling them which is sad

I knew of one that was purchased when they first came out that had major recurring engine management computer issues, it would tell the driver to pull over and turn off the car for 10 minutes and try restarting. Honda tried to say this was an isolated case but the owner heard that it was a known issue affecting many cars. I could find no record of it at the time when I searched to be fair, and that car got replaced by the face-lift version which they still own.

Is a VA WRX review in the works? I’d be keen to hear your opinion on that one especially whether you reckon the CVT in that is trash or not.

@yesnomaybe3372 2 жыл бұрын

They trashed the cvts in the XV review, so I would assume they will for the wrx. Just because of how expensive they are to repair

I purposely bought a new 2022 HR-V *LX* (Florida, USA) - because I wanted a CD PLAYER (this was the ONLY Honda with one ... Boo👎). And I did NOT want all the fussy, distracting Honda Sensing features - way too complicated and just more stuff to go wrong later. I thoroughly love this vehicle. About the only real drawbacks are 1) the lack of storage space/cubbies in the front and, 2) all the black cloth all over the interior door panels. Not a good idea. 👎 My 2022 HR-V LX doesn't have the piano black plastic anywhere on the center console - just around the A/C and heater controls. But it does show dust badly. This is a very pleasant car to drive. It handles beautifully and is quiet and solid-feeling. Plenty of "get-up-and-go." Super gas mileage too. I'm happy to recommend this particular Honda (my third Honda , since 1997). 👍💕

I hate that car makers don’t put CD players in a lot of their vehicles. I just traded my 2008 Lexus RX350 that had a cd and cassette player. I’m going really miss that lol.
