Cargo space is most important for me as I need to fit 2 dog crates in the back. It looks like the HR-V will be adequate, but I need to go back and put a crate into the back. I did test drive a HR-V (EX-L) and a CR-V, but only on a short trip on some side streets as it was rush hour. Will be going back again soon for a longer test drive.
I hate that the lower part of the seat on the CR-V flips forward, really prefer the magic seat. My dealer only had received black, modern steel and white. Ruled out the EX as I do not like the cloth on the doors, but the cloth seats were nice.
One major concern I have is the weird fabric covering the floor. It is not carpet, and not really sure what that would even be called. My concern is whether it will be a magnet for dog hair, more so than carpet. Or maybe it would be easier to vacuum? That same weird fabric is used in the back sides in the cargo area. Cargo area in the CR-V is not that same material as in the HR-V. Another concern I have is that there is no vent going to the rear area like there is for the CR-V.
I went to look at a Subaru Crosstrek and there is no way to even fit a 2X3 foot crate in it. They recommended the Forester, but I would not be interested in the 2015 model, would wait for the 2016 if I really wanted to.
