Good Points
Everything and more, fast(ish), comfortable, good-looking, very reliable and just unique enough!
Bad Points
Eats tyres when driven like a hot-hatch, only has four seatbelts.
General Comments
Never before have I driven/owned a car that is so perfect. I only planned to keep the Honda HRV 1.6i VTEC 4WD 4x4 one year at the most but that was nearly five years ago! Now the only thoughts on replacing it will be when my son can have it (he may only be eight now, but I have a feeling it will last). After owning several old, high milage hondas its no suprise that the HR-V sill feels as tight after 53000 miles as the day I picked it up. With the exception of the Vtech engine which begs to be revved and revved the likes of which I used to assume were in cars costing 20 thousand pounds and above.
