Nice car mate , dad had one but too be honest he found the petrol consumption to be very poor, but to be fair it was his first car off this type, normally going for toyota corollas and such like, wonder how you / wife find the petrol consumption ??

neighbour off mine has a black four door version off the HRV and must admitt it really does look well smart, dads was a red two door, having driven his when he owned it must admitt it really was nice to drive.

My Grandad had one

Watch out if it's CVT auto, as they judder when pulling away and slip excessively at motorway speeds - requires expensive gearbox work to fix.

Drive and handle nice though - like a big civic and a decent Pioneer radio as standard (although no rear speaker...cheapskates )

Yep remember dad telling me that the honda dealership where he bought his from advised him to be as seemingly they had a spate off hrv`s come in for a new stereo / dash repair after word had got out amongst the low life that they were fitted with decent stereos as standard.

Yep, My grandad has his nicked too. Left the face plate on, and some scum thought "I'll have that thankyou", smashed the window and wrecked the centre consle

Pioneer keh-6800 IIRC, which was replaced with a 6900 on the insurance

When it was sold after he passsed on, I shamedly swapped it for a keh-4500 which I had at the time
