2016 Honda HR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | Also like the Fit, the Honda HR-V leads its class in rear seat spaciousness. with a large-sedan-like 39.3 inches of legroom to the Chevrolet Trax's still adult-worthy 35.7. Rear headroom is ample in both pint-sized crossovers. Given the ability to carry four adults with room to spare, it's no surprise that many people are deciding that they don't need a larger vehicle. see full Honda HR-V review |
2016 Honda HR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I hear more complaints about uncomfortable seats from Honda owners than from those of any other brand. The seats in compact Hondas also happen to be among my least favorite. Those in the HR-V, like the similar seats in the Fit, have a headrest and fixed lumbar bulge that jut too far forward for my personal build. The Trax seats also have a somewhat intrusive headrest, but a power-adjustable lumbar bulge. Try either out extensively before you buy to avoid an unpleasant surprise after the fact. see full Honda HR-V review |

2016 Honda HR-V Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Pedal to the floor, the Honda HR-V can get to 60 mph a fraction of a second sooner than the Chevrolet Trax. But with the trip taking about ten seconds in either, both are sluggish by current standards. Frankly, you'll rarely need to get from a dead stop to 60 mph in less than 15 seconds. A larger issue with the HR-V is that its engine sounds and feels strained even in moderately energetic driving. The Trax, in contrast, sounds and feels much more relaxed at part-throttle. Credit a few key differences. While the Chevrolet's 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine can't quite match the Honda 1.8's 141 peak horsepower, its small turbocharger nicely plumps up its midrange, yielding 148 lb-ft of torque at a very accessible 1,850 rpm vs. the Honda's 127 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm. On top of the need to rev it higher for equivalent power, the HR-V's engine also gets much buzzier when busied. Then there are the transmissions. While the Trax's engine is hitched to a conventional six-speed automatic, Honda has hopped on the CVT (continuously variable transmission) bandwagon with Nissan and Subaru. CVTs tend to place the engine at its optimal rpm and then hold it there. In all but the most casual driving this optimal rpm is well up the tach. Listening to the resulting racket was my least favorite thing about driving the HR-V. I haven't driven it yet, but the Mazda CX-3 promises to be the performance champ among crossovers of this size. Okay with something smaller? Then a Nissan JUKE or MINI Countryman is most fun to drive. see full Honda HR-V review |
