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 .
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
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.
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.
??????? Never had a windshield wiper fluid low reminder. Lol… Also, you complained about things that are general wear and tear on a vehicle such as paint chips from flying debris on hwy., break dust (lol), etc. You bought a lowest model. 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
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.
@@soflojoshautoreview My 2023 HR-V Sport purchased in Canada does notify me when windscreen wiper fluid is low and it reminds me non-stop until I add more fluid. Also, fluid capacity is about 4,5L which is absolutely fine, and very typical for many vehicles.
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.
Funny how I have had the same problems, I also got a windshield crack but have been waiting 6 months to get a new windshield (they are out of stock of side moldings) and the oem calibration is something I can already see being a problem when I do replace my windshield
Wow 6 months?!? That’s way to long of a wait. The Calibration was could very well mess up your safety features. I have noticed that when I go over the line on the right side it’ll trigger but not the left but it’s been spotty.
Thanks for the review. The. 19 mpg was surprising especially with the lack of power. My 2020 CRV with a bigger turbo charged engine gets 28 mpg on average, mainly driven around town. I do really like the new design tho. Hoping for a hybrid version someday.
Have a 2021 CRV AWD CVT Hybrid have done just under 50,000 miles and nothing it is an absolute Jem of a car am doing 46.8 MPG have no intentions of changing it at all. 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. You seem to say it’s a cheap car but that’s 26,000 UK pounds which isn’t cheap
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.
I got a 2024 HRV sport 4 weeks ago. I love it so far. Hope it doesn’t let me down lol it drives amazing! I do wish they had hybrid and also cup holder arm rest in back middle seat along with ac vents since it’s a pretty spacious car.
If you can afford it and are willing to pay the extra definitely get the higher trim! I would have wanted that one too but I was on a budget. Either way I love my HRV Sport!
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.
@@soflojoshautoreview Look up Insurance losses by make and model. This car data is telling. Subaru for the win! Otherwise Corolla hybrid is interesting.
I have the exact same HR-V, next month will be a year. I have 27,000 miles on it. I drive 104 miles a day 90% of the time in cruise 65 to 70 mph I'm getting 30.4 mpg Yes it isn't the fastest but I didn't buy it for that reason. 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.
My last 2 vehicles were Honda’s, but this time I went for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek last year. Got the Limited with AWD, 2.5 liter 182 hp motor, Nav system and 8 speaker Harmon Kardon stereo for $32,500. And I’m averaging 31 mpg.
I don't care for any turbo or hybrid systems at all... I'm glad honda did not install them. The reason I chose the HRV is no turbo and no hybrid systems.
Did you test drive the car? Here in Brazil we got the euro spec HR-V, but the option is a 1.5 4 cylinder, I mean that kind of power is dangerous, I really don’t understand why the US market hate downsized engines, the 1.5T engine would make that car a whole different story
The only problem is they sell so quickly, despite aggressive dealer mark ups. But, gives so many options, at MSRP equivalents across the board! Several lower! Great time for getting deals! Car dealerships greed is gonna bite them in the wallet. Who is gonna pay 70,000+ for a Ford gas guzzler? These supposed $23,000 HR-V's are a cruel joke. The cheapest new price was $28,500 base model! Come December, and January prior to Tax season, is going, or should be sweet! But, Greed never, ever sleeps!
I have this same car. I glad to hear someone else have the same issues like I have. For the price the car should definitely have usb ports in the back. Also yes the back A/C vents should be included. 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
Thank you! For the nice 10,000 mile update review on the 2023 Honda HRV sport. I have the same except mine is red but the Nordic forest pearl is really nice! I definetly think Honda could've done better with the third brake light.
@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?
Great video! I have a 2024 Honda HRV. Works for now. I agree on the cargo cover… it should come with the car. Also, the paint does chip easily. My driver side mirror, the arm of it is separating at the seam. Water is collecting in it which is bad news for the heating mechanism. Honda is supposed to replace it.
The Cargo Cover should definitely come with every SUV standard but some reason they don’t. I just looked at the front of my car this morning and noticed more chipping at the front bumper and the hood now. I live in a construction state so it makes sense but still lot of Chips
@@soflojoshautoreview actually I just fixed it, turns out there is a way to turn it off in the safety support section and unclick road migration system and it fixed the problem!
I got a 24 civic sport sedan with 9k miles on it, it’s a lease and im already considering switching to an HRV sport especially since where i live is a dirt road and during the rain seasons it can get flooded
Honda cuts corners on features knowing that they can get away with it like not putting charge ports in the rear, using a cheaper TPMS system, and other little things, even though other manufacturers do put those in including Hyundai kia. They know the fanboys will STILL buy Honda.
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.
I personally feel that we won’t see that till maybe the facelift model.. that’s even if Honda wants to do that given the Civic just got the Hybrid model
@@KatarinaP-u6r Hopefully they will reconsider. I thought it impressive that they installed reverse cameras to ALL models when they introduced it. Wonder how many accidents/lives were saved by them doing so.
Thats really low MPG. You must hammer it off every stop or something is wrong with it. I have a 22 EX AWD I use for doordash/Uber full time. I consistently get 26mpg combined. I drive like a grandma though. I love this car. Only issue I have ever had is sometimes the walk away lock doesn't work. It beeps a bunch like it thinks the key is still in it. Does this around every 10th time I leave the vehicle.
I’m averaging 18 mpg in my quad cab 6’ bed Fx4 f150. And it seems Honda windshields are very susceptible to cracking. I wonder if it’s coincidence or do they save on some process.
Wife has the exl all the bells and whistles..l got the sport..does not have reverse warning beeper or gps..minor gripe...otherwise perfect for my needs
I average 27 in normal mode, combined, on the sport version; no idea how you get 32. I guess it's doable if you are driving only on the freeway all the time.
Thinking about getting this car and your review helps alot as I am hearing same stories from other drivers of this HR-V unit. I do want to test drive this but I shall keep your info in mind. #Thanks
I just bought my 2024 Honda hrv and I’m having 2 problems 1 the car vibrates when I’m at red light USB plug keep saying no connection Is anybody having this problems ???
