Honda HR-V road tests and consumer car reviews

Honda HR-V 5dr 4WD SI 2004

I only recently got my HR-V and love it. I bought it for its space (to transport our Golden Retrievers ), its height off the ground and its 4WD capabilities after two bad winters of snow. I read other people’s reviews, both the good and the bad, but went with my gut instinct at the end. It drives very well and is pretty quiet when started and has a thoughtfully laid out design. My only regret is I didn’t buy it when it was new!

Honda HR-V 4 wd 3 doors 1999

I have had some Land Rovers before. I have a mile long, non covered road to my house. With light offroad tyres it’s the same performance as in much bigger (and unfortunately heavier) jeeps. It’s just a question of physics and traction, not trade-marks and names.

Honda HR-V CVT 2002

There is a fault with the start clutch on the gearbox of the Honda HR-V which means it needs replacing in under 10 years. If you have a model before 2002 it is covered with a 10 year warranty but after 2002 for only 7 years.

Whilst aimed at the 4x4 market, I was aware before I bought my second hand 2004 HR-V that it’s strongest points don’t lie off road, however, as a family car with plenty of space for 3 children and a very comfortable drive it really does rate up there.
