Hard to believe with the long wait, but we only have a couple more weeks to go until the HRV will be hitting dealerships.

What are the top 3 reasons you plan to buy the HRV?

For me, it's the following in no particular order:

1. Styling (coupe like)
2. Drivability/Maneuverability
3. Low ownership costs (depreciation, gas mileage, etc)

 

[Ex-cape]

• My shopping list only includes vehicles with a manual transmission
• It is a crossover available with a manual transmission
• It is a reliable offering from a reputable manufacturer available in medium trim level, with options, and a manual transmission

 

[MNhrv]

1. Features on the mid level trim(HEATED seats!)
2. Ride height
3. Price?

 

[Bicepeak]

1. Small size, yet high utility and high seating.
2. Low price
3. Manual transmission

 

[BerryJo]

1. Features I want
2. At a price I am anticipating, I can afford
3. Uber reliable car manufacturer.

 

[1998hondacivic]

1. Utility and ride height of a crossover
2. Smaller and more car-like than a typical crossover
3. Less expensive than a typical crossover

Truthfully I like the Crosstrek a bit more. But I'm hoping that a loaded HRV will be cheaper than a loaded Crosstrek, which would make the HRV win out for me.

Pretty much the same top 3 for me! As well as the fact that Honda are always reliable cars and easy to work on if something happens.

Similar to Bicepeak:
1. Size and utility... really want a hatch, not a big SUV
2. Manual transmission
3. Features: sunroof, infotainment and phone link, backup and lanewatch cams, upscale-ish interior

Plus some Honda brand loyalty / respect.

Oops... that's 4!

lol...I had a hard time keeping it at 3 too. That's why I kind of squished a lot into #1 .

 

[HRV4ME]

Good to hear!

No brand is a sure thing as I have had friends had various problems with their Accord and Civic, but in general, they tend to be better than most.

I am in the same situation as it all comes down to the HRV and Crosstrek. Cannot go wrong with either.

Made me think of Monty Python.....

A picture is worth a thousand words....

 

[HRV4ME]

Ahhh, so your top 3 reason your buying the HRV?

​

​

 

[thescot123]

1. Ability to car a lot of stuff and even haul a mountain bike. 2. The electronics like brake hold, electronic starter. 3. Great gas mileage.

 

[alkaiser]

1. 6 Speed Manual transmission
2. Price / mileage
3. Utility (holy crap it can stuff a lot of stuff with the magic seats)

 

[tupoms]

Good size for me & cute to boot
Good rep of Honda
Price not outrageous

 

[11066]

Size, AWD, Honda

 

[Bikehiker]

Utility (Magic Seats, high rider, AWD option), economy (Gas mileage and the EX model gives a lot of SUV for the price), reliability (Honda--say no more).

Of course, there's so much more: Seems like a larger car than its classification; smooth engine; fun to drive; looks....

HRV4ME, Did you ever decide between the HR-V and Crosstrek?
