Honda HR-V
Model Overview
The HR-V is Honda's entry in the fast-growing subcompact crossover category. While it's not remarkable to look at from the outside, there's a surprise inside: a platform shared with the Fit means this little vehicle's cabin is more spacious than the competition. Its larger size and stronger engine contribute to a more substantial driving feel than the Fit, while promising typically thrifty Honda fuel economy.

Love this car!

EX FWD
Overall Score
I recently bought this car used. So far its amazing. I'm a short woman and my significant other is quite tall. The car fits me just fine but its a little cramped for him. The car has lots of cargo room which is why I chose it over the Mazda CX-3 or the Nissan Juke. The interior controls are all touch screen which makes me a little nervous for the cold winters but so far they are easy to use. The steering wheel controls are an easy way to avoid the touch screen while driving. All in all its a great car so far. Its fun to drive and it fits my needs of needing small fuel efficient car that can handle gravel and blizzard conditions.
