@CalgaryHRV,
In the picture you have something on your bonnet. Is that a wind deflector of sorts?

Winter Beater HRV!
New here but not new to car forums.
We love Honda's and have owned several and still have a slightly modified 2006 Acura TSX which has been an outstanding car and that we do not plan to get rid of ever.
Picked up a used, rough and cheap 2016 HRV. Base LX, zero options, 2wd CVT for winter use.
We ski a ton in the the winter and front wheel drive with narrow winter tires is all we need. I am not a fan of AWD at all.

It looks good in the picture but it is rough. Many rock chips and scratches, curbed wheels, squeeks and rattles, broken cup holder, etc, etc.
Low miles though (50, 000km/30, 000miles). 1 owner, no accidents in Carfax. Still has another 11 months and 10,000km of base warranty on it.
Although it was at a Honda dealer, it was low priced since it a base 2wd model and was quite rough looking.
I made a super low offer and they accepted it.
It doesn't even have the rear windows tinted which we will have done.
The only options it has is the lame CVT, block heater and mud flaps. Thats it.
But luckily it doesn't have an TPMS system and no sunroof. I hate sunroof's.
To do list:

To do list:
- check everything. Brakes, suspension, tires, fluids,
- touch up all the rock chips and scratches.
- 16inch winter tires and wheels
- tint rear windows
- fix center console cupholders.
- change CVT trans fluid
- larger mudflaps on the front
- tint the 3rd center mounted red brake light.
- weathertech floor mats
- numerous interior rattles and the rear spoiler is rattling on the back hatch.
