Honda HR-V review - ConsumerReports.org

When Honda first arrived in America, it made a splash with its marketing campaign, “We make it simple. Honda has since grown considerably, and its cars have grown too, becoming more complicated and expensive. But the HR-V subcompact sport utility is a return to Honda’s roots. The HR-V feels as if you’re driving a tall car, not a brawny SUV. If you have a long commute, the HR-V is not your ride. The HR-V’s low floor and flexible rear seats offer several ways to tailor your cargo space. Flip up the rear-seat cushion and you can park two bikes there—standing up. Two adults can comfortably sit in back on long trips without any hip, knee, or back pain. If you’re tempted to move up to the EX or EX-L trim levels—which add $2,000 to $4,000 to the tab—be warned that you’ll be saddled with a frustrating audio system. Source: www.consumerreports.org
