Absolutely nothing with the car itself - not even a blown light bulb!
At more than 48k miles, its even still on its original set of brake pads!
The first Japanese car I've had possession of - but probably not the last!
Did have two damaged tyres, though - both with nails through them. They are a very unusual size in the UK - only Yokohama and Bridgestone make them, I discovered. The problem is that they are not generally stocked, and are difficult to get. This means they are expensive (
We've enjoyed using the car enormously. It's worth saying it's a company car, so I only have to pay for the fuel - hard to say if I would have spent my own money on the servicing costs.
It is safe and secure - yesterday's journey was a 521 mile round trip, including motorways, the wilds of Wales and an old opencast coal mine! The old Hervy takes them all in its stride.
There are only a couple of niggles:
1. Visibility to the rear when reversing is limited due to the high back and smallish window.
2. The slightly odd tailgate makes fixing a cycle rack tricky - not impossible, just a challenge!
Having owned an HRV for 4 years now I can only agree that it is very very reliable... so much so infact that you tend to let the servicing go a bit!!.
Bodywork is very thin (the thinnest Honda I've owned) which does attract "car park" dents... maybe this though adds to the "off road" appearence!.
During the time I have owned it I too have suffered two punctures (via nails) and also found tyres expensive £129 at KwikFit, however I have just replaced the Yokohama's which are fairly soft compound with harder Hanook one's which seem after six months to be doing a good job plus they only came in at £70 a piece.
Try the web site "My Tyres" they seem to be OK and deliver in a couple of days... I took the tyres to a local Honda garage who charged £10 each to fit!.
After driving a number of Preludes and Civic's it did take a time to get used to the higher petrol consumption, but the ride makes up for that.
I think that I will be keeping the car for a long while yet.
I have had my Honda HRV for nearly two year from brand new. My wife and I both were over the moon when we went to collect the car from the dealer. It looked fab. And it still is. Never had any problems so far, touch wood. I still take pride in driving it. It does cost a bit on fuel, but it is worth it. The front two tyres are wearing out and I may have to replace them very soon. Other than that no trouble what so ever. I love my car and when it comes for renewal I don't know if I could let it go. I might go for another HRV I think.
