Julie R., NE (2017 Honda HR-V)"underpowered"
Anonymous, NY (2017 Honda HR-V)"Rediculous"
Anonymous, AZ (2017 Honda HR-V)"I love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT LEG ROOM."
Anonymous, AL (2017 Honda HR-V)"Car is quick and maneuverable like a sporty car. This HRV is a manual transmission, front wheel drive only. Do not buy an AWD version with the CVT, which is terribly slow"
Anonymous, NJ (2017 Honda HR-V)"My HR-V quickly accelerates from a full stop, which I absolutely love! And the auto transmission (CVS?) is so smooth when shifting - not like the older automatic transmissions were. I bought the car mainly because winters in my area can be kind of tricky with little to no plowing done on roads. I was exceptionally happy with the AWD. Has really boosted my confidence being able to drive in bad weather. Handles very well"
Laura G., WA (2017 Honda HR-V)"Too slow, feel like the slowest car in the street"
Hank A., CA (2017 Honda HR-V)"Acceleration is very good even with the Economy setting ON."
Anonymous, NY (2017 Honda HR-V)"Better acceleration than expected based on reviews read prior to leasing."
Charles M., FL (2017 Honda HR-V)"Very fun to drive, but could use a few more horsepower on the hills."

"The CVT transmission is actually rather nice to use. It makes the car feel faster than it actually is and gives you a fair amount of torque from a dead stop. I would definitely recommend the CVT transmission over the automatic or manual standard transmissions."
