Honda HR V. Reviews of the car

Even among the parquet SUVs Honda HR V reviews collects mostly frivolous. Indeed, elegant, toy-sized machine with subtle body contours too much pulls on ladies' fun. Remember, as in one book: "As a ship you will call, so it will float". Here, too, there is such a marketing mistake, because behind such an appearance hides a working, in a reliable way, a Hondah unit. Very serious, in general.

Parquet SUVs are usually referred to as cars for outdoor activities. That is why their attributes include attributes of SUVs - massive guides for luggage on the roof, expanders of wheel arches, and in the trunk and cabin hides a lot of devices for outdoor recreation or transportation of sports equipment.

However, in Honda HR V nothing is observed. Initially, this three-door car was created as a city style with the manners of an off-road car, focused mainly on single people. From here and a decent trunk in combination with the rear seats, in which the seats are critically small. Choosing a family car, it is better to look at the extended five-door version of the Honda CRV 2002.

We return to Honda HR V. Reviews characterize this SUV as a car with a short-haul dense suspension and gambling control. With zigzag asphalt streets, it's not a problem to get him together, but on a broken village the confidence of the car falls.

In general, let's form our opinion about the car, analyzing the reviews about it from real people.

Honda HR V, reliability reviews

The chassis of this toy car shows itself very well. Even in conditions of operation on not the best Russian roads in the world. In most cases, the main parts of the suspension and control are beginning to ask for "retirement" as much as after 120 thousand kilometers of run. Of the penny replacements it is worth noting the bushings of the front stabilizer. They usually "get tired" for 30-45 thousand kilometers of run.

In cars of early release there were problems with bearings of rear hubs, but at the moment this problem has already been solved. Now their range of reliability is 100-150 thousand miles.

The steering is surprisingly durable. The rake does not knock and does not flow even on the oldest auto of those that can be found in the service.

Front brakes serve somewhere up to 45 thousand miles, after you need to replace the pads. But the disks, despite the fact that the tolerances for wear are very small, endure two sets of shoes. In rear drum brakes, the rear pads are much more durable than the front ones. We include wit, we change their places in time, as a result we receive a working kit with a resource for 100 000 runs instead of 75 000.

Honda HR V, engine reviews

Very often you need to change the spark plugs. After about 10-15 thousand miles. There's nothing to be done - our gasoline is like that. And in the rest everything is not bad - the power management and ignition systems work perfectly.

Separately it is necessary to note the problems with oil. The fact is that Honda HR V does not have an oil level sensor, and the pressure switch works when it's too late to top up (about a third of the level). Therefore, often the consequences of an oil-free ride are the main reason for selling a car. Draw a conclusion.

Well, in the end it is worth noting that the car in question is quite old. So, if finances permit, take a closer look at Honda CRV 2010. Honda engineers are not only able to create super-reliable masterpieces, but also to improve old concepts.
