Honda HR-V (2015 - 2020) 1.6 i-DTEC EX 5d Owner Review

1.6 i-DTEC EX 5d

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I've only had it for 3 weeks,they said it was a Demonstrator but It's obvious its been used on a daily basis as it has 10000 miles on the clock and the Sat nav reveals its been on Holiday, but am very pleased as I had a Jazz before and need to carry lots of DIY kit and Magic seats are a must, Never had a Diesel before and this has plenty of pull and the fuel tank will last me 2 - 3 months as I expect to do about 1500 mls a year, heated seats are a must, (Audio/SAT NAV ) not got to grips with yet but miss buttons to change channels, the Panoramic roof makes it very light inside, tried it partially open and not much wind noise so looking to use this more especially next summer, came with 5 years free servicing ( Bonus), High driving position great as makes entry/exit easy as you get older, I Started the search in December for a replacement for my Jazz and went for a test drive in a few competitors which would have fitted my requirements, but wanted latest model and silver color so very limited choice as only been out 12 months, but no regrets.

How reliable do you find the car?

6 months old so too early to comment,but if it's like my previous Jazz then I will be very pleased.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Still reading the Manual ( How it Works ) but the information takes some getting used too, had to turn some of the features off as it beeps and you have to take your eyes off the road to read the Multi function Display, but it has it uses as it tells you the speed limit and fuel consumption and lots more but will take some time to get to grips with.
