Resale value no dispute.Not to mention that Honda kills Mazda in reliability and resale value.
EDIT: Okhick beat me to it.Not to mention that Honda kills Mazda in reliability and resale value.
Yeah, I'd like to see that and it's sure to be on the way. The winner will be the one with qualities the testers most value. HRV4ME types will base the winner on how much crap can be crammed on board. Those who value style,.acceleration , driver involvement , superior infotainment, driver ergonomics, fuel mileage, and towing ability will want something other than the HRV.
HRV4ME
The idea the CX 3 is a jacked up 2 with a bigger engine is pretty much right, and is enough to make it more desirable to me. Now add to that is has a bit more interior space, can tow up to 2640lbs, and is available with AWD and you got a neat cuv.
And the HRV is just a jacked up Fit with a Civic engine and tall boxy body. So what? That is how the car makers give us more choice without investing in a lot of tooling costs that have to passed on to us.
>> I don't get this talk of limited supply with the Renegade
Yea, that was only true for a few weeks.
Everyone please don't slam me for this, because I am DEFINITELY not a Renegade lover. But that thing, in the first month on the lots, no advertising, minimal discounting, and limited availability the first few weeks (not now), sold 4,000+ units. I predict the Renegade will outsell the HRV by a wide margin. Let's come back in a year and see who sells the most. I test drove a Renegade, and it felt like you were getting $10,000 more car than you were paying for. That was just the emotional reaction you have when in you get in that thing - which is about the same size as the HRV. It really does feel twice as big inside. Your eyes are a full head above where they'd be in an HRV or Soul or CX3.
I repeat - NOT a Renegade lover here. But lots and lots and lots of Americans are and will be.
>> I value style, versatility, reliability, gas mileage, cargo room, safety features and crash tests, ownership costs, etc.
Me too. That's why right now the Soul is currently running ahead of the Fat Fit (aka HRV) in the contest for my dollars.
Sorry HRV4ME. I certainly meant no offense. Was just using you as an example of those who seem to value interior volume over most other considerations(which is a perfectly legitimate point of view). I do not dislike the HRV and Have considered it for myself at times, but as I learn more, I think its not for me at this time. Heck,I have not even driven any of the.cars in the segment yet. My opinion is subject to change. I just like playing Devil's advocate with those who seem so dogmatic in their choice. I should realize that this is an HRV forum, so of course most here are leaning that way or have already made their choice.HRV4ME types????
No need to refer to others in that manner.
And just so you know, I value style, versatility, reliability, gas mileage, cargo room, safety features and crash tests, ownership costs, etc. which is why the HRV fits my needs perfectly.
YMMV, but I am surprised the number of people here that dislike the HRV, but cannot seem to stay away to other boards for the vehicles they actually like...too much negative energy unfortunately.![]()
