Honda FR-V 2006

1 star review

I bought this car for my ex-wife and 4 children. The engine seized with NO WARNING; there is no oil level warning light in this car. Honda deny all responsibility they say it’s in the manual to check every 600 miles, yep, in a manual almost 700 pages long with no emphasis from the manual, dealer nor at service. Even my 12 year old Corsa had an oil level warning system. The oil pressure gauge in this vehicle comes on when the damage is done. "THE POWER OR DREAMS??" - MORE LIKE "THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES" £17,000 DOWN THE TUBES!

Honda FR-V 2004

2 star review

After only 45,000 miles my clutch has packed up, repair bill £900,00 plus, which obviously leaves one out of pocket. Quite a disappointment considering Honda’s reputation.

Honda FR-V 2005

5 star review

Since buying the 2.0 litre FR-V the only bad thing I can say is the fuel consumption is a bit high but we love the fact that we get all our family in with loads of room for luggage in the back. Even more impressive is the great backup service we get from our Honda dealer and the warranty covered up to 90,000 miles.

Honda FR-V 1.8 EX 5dr 2007

5 star review

A magnificent car. The 1.8l engine is a little underpowered but auto-gearbox copes pretty well. Will do a 6.8l/100 km at 105km/h on the highway, but in town consumption suffers. Ample space for kids, baggage and most household transportation. Could even fit a 2.5m garden umbrella box with the rear seats dropped. An excellent space management for Honda. Would have been the perfect car had it been fitted with a 1.8l diesel.

Honda FR-V 2.0 VTEC Sport 2005

4 star review

Big, solid car that is very enjoyble to drive and bought used (like mine) very affordable. Very good running costs as well. Nice cabin, everything laid out really well and the interior is very comfortable throughout. The wife loves it, kids love it. Not overly powerful but plenty for our needs so no complaints there. Really pleased I chose this for our family car, fits the bill very nicely indeed.

Honda FR-V 2.0 SE 5dr

4 star review

This is an excellent MPV from Honda, it is practical, comfortable and feels almost nippy to drive. We like the 3 x 3 seating and the kids often fight over who get to sit up front. The only thing I’d mark it down for is fuel consumption, which isn’t bad at all but there is definately room for improvement. Good all round car.
