Honda HRV

[Cromwell]

Hi, I’ve had a Jazz Crosstar for 3 years and am thinking of changing it for the larger HRV, any thoughts on the HRV here?.

Last year I changed from Crosstar to Civic. I hear the HR-V is a bit slower and noisier, but that depends on your preferences and driving style.
I especially like the Civic for its larger engine, more power and a sportier feel. And the Civic is just as economical (or even slightly better) than the Crosstar.

Best to go to a dealer and have a proper test drive. Enjoy!

I had a Civic LSI 30 years ago, since then I've had two CRVs (the last for 20 years) and changed to a Crosstar this year.
I looked at an HRV and decided it was, "neither one thing nor the other," so the choice for me, was either another CRV or the Crosstar.
The latter won out. If I put the rear seats down I can get my electric trolley, tour golf bag and spare wheel in, quite easily." the deal breaker."
None of the Hondas I've had were any bother.

We changed from the Crosstar to an HRV last year mostly to fit our new grandsons pram in the bigger boot.
While we have had three Jazz's I tended to use them to go from point A-B as we do most of out travelling on my motorcycles but this has changed with the HRV as I do prefer it to drive it and we now find ourselves doing more pleasure driving than before.

The  wife first thought it would be harder to drive than the Crosstar due to it looking bigger but now she finds it easier as she can now see where the front of the car is.
The Jazz is slightly better on fuel but the HRV drives nicer has more presence on the road, the only thing I do not like is the location of the fuel cap lever but that would not stop me buying another HRV.
