I've been thinking about buying a run around for Mrs. SVX who has to drive on some pretty terrible country roads. HR-V's seem to be well priced...

Can any owners past or present give me any advice on what they are like to live with? We'd probably be looking at an auto model.

Thanks in advance.

Been out since 99 and really do give trouble free motoring, there are no major faults to be concerned about with them, Honda reliability through and through. They came in both fwd and awd, so if awd is what you're after the make sure it what you get.

The rear diff uses dpf fluid, so I would stick with that if you plan on doing a flush.

Also they're a four seater only too, so if you've more than 2 kids, you or the Mrs will have to take the bus!! You can buy a lap belt for the middle rear seat, but probably not the best option.... Good luck with the search!
