Good Points
Well designed, stylish, sexy, brilliant manual gearbox, well laid out interior.
Bad Points
Visibility when reversing could be better, frame reduces front visibility too, could do with more power, not so good in wet and snow (but that may be down to the tyres on the car), feels high and unstable on fast motorway drives (anything above 100 mph feels unsafe as car feels too light).
General Comments
When I first saw my HRV I knew this was the car for me! It looked amazing with it's 4x4 cuts yet it was a reliable Honda, affordable to buy and run, mine is a 2 wheel drive so I pay same car tax as car users, economical on fuel (I have a petrol model), best ever 3rd brake light roof spoiler I have seen on any vehicle, starts first time every time.
