Should you buy a Honda HR-V?
The Honda HR-V isn’t here to thrill you, and we think that could be its secret to success. Instead of grabbing you with headline figures and disappointing you during ownership, the HR-V is consistently capable across all metrics.
We were highly impressed with the HR-V’s real-world fuel economy, which proves that you don’t need a diesel car to go long distances on one tank.
On the whole, it’s a cleverly packaged and well-thought-out crossover that anyone who values practicality and peace of mind should consider.
