2001 Honda HR-V review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, enjoyable car to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leak due to poor service by Honda dealership
Front alloys 'rusting' - replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Front seats are very comfortable, but rear can become tiring on long journeys.
The car handles very well, especially on the motorway.
I was impressed by the tyre mileage. Fronts lasted 19,000 miles & rears replaced after £33k (but probably had 5k left).
Insurance is very reasonable at under £300 fully comprehensive.
If you don't need a 'proper' off-road vehicle, the HR-V is worth a look.
