What I think about my HRV LX

[NothingElseMatters]

I just had a huge huge bonus from work and bought myself a 2024 HR-V LX with AWD. I drove it to the mountain and could see that the HRV had enough power for highway driving and hills, it's actually comfortable, we had tons of luggage at that time because we had a week trip, and it was all fit! haha, next time I'm thinking about bringing the whole closet
Sadly, there are things that I think Honda could done better.
First, the car was a bit noisy, it used a little more gas than their old car. It was missing a couple of features they liked in their old car (like an engine temperature gauge), the headlights might be aimed too high, and the dashboard was hard to read in certain sunlight. Well, for me, those are just small disadvantages, and I'm generally happy with my new HRV LX.

Road noise and fuel use are pretty common complaints, and the missing features can be annoying, especially the engine temp gauge. If the headlights seem too high, you might be able to adjust them. If the dashboard glare is bad, maybe a matte screen protector could help. Overall, seems like small trade offs if the car works for your needs.

yeah, I get it, but it is annoying sometimes. although I can still get used to it. well, generally, the car is great

Thanks for this! Just curious though. with the pros and cons you listed, do you still have a feature that Honda should have added to make your driving life better?

The headlights can be adjusted, didn't you know that? That car is equipped with manual headlight adjustment screws meaning you can adjust them as high or as low as you need.

Congrats on the bonus and the new ride! Maybe Honda thought we'd all just squint at the dashboard in the sun for fun. Still, it's great to hear you're enjoying it overall!

Congratulations on your new HR-V! It seems like it managed the trip pretty well. It's not unusual to encounter some noise, a bit of increased fuel consumption, and the absence of certain features like the engine temperature gauge. If your headlights are aimed too high, a simple adjustment should do the trick. All in all, it's a great option, but it might be a good idea to bring up these minor issues with the dealer if necessary.
