There’s also a honeycomb-effect ventilation panel that runs across the dash, and it all looks very clean.” The front seats, at first, were firm but Dean says they are starting to become softer with use. Inside the HR-V, he adds, “Honda did a great job with the seven-inch colour touchscreen display on the dash, and it’s all very intuitive to use. “Both of us love the styling of the car, but the grille had to grow on us,” Dean says. With the exception, though, of a red contrast stitch in the upholstery. Their HR-V is triple black, which means just about everything on and in the vehicle is black. “I really didn’t feel like we were going to be miss out on much by not getting the EX-L,” Dean says. All HR-Vs have manually adjustable heated seats, while only the Sport and EX-L get a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. It’s just one step below the EX-L, and Dean says that means they didn’t get wireless charging or wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (although it does come with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), the 9-inch colour touchscreen, leather trimmed seats or front and rear parking sensors. Their purchase price of the ’23 HR-V was $36,064 before taxes.Īlthough they’d originally been looking for a top-of-the-line EX-L model, they got the Sport. They got $2,000 more than they’d paid for that car. They found a Crystal Black Sport HR-V at Mississauga Honda and traded in their old HR-V. “We’d had a white one, and we wanted to change it up, because if you buy a new car in the same colour as the old one, it can feel like you’re still driving the old car,” Dean explains. And colour of their new HR-V was important. They began shopping around, but dealerships were in short supply. He and his wife, Caroline, were initially not fans of the small front grille, but says the design has grown on them. NEXT Owner Wayne Dean has added more than 8,000 km to the odometer of his Crystal Black 2023 Honda HR-V Sport. We decided to buy one, however, because we thought it was time to have a newer car with updated (safety) technologies.” We weren’t sure we liked them, because the front grille is small, but it kind of has a Porsche-esque design. “We only had 50,000 kilometres on the old HR-V,” Dean says of their decision to upgrade, and adds, “But we saw this new generation HR-V and looked at them first online. However, the new 2023 HR-Vs are now underpinned by the automaker’s slightly larger Civic platform, and that means the vehicle is longer, taller and wider. ![]() That meant replacing the Fit with the HR-V and it wasn’t a stretch, really, because that generation of HR-V was actually based on the Fit’s platform. But when the couple moved north to Wasaga Beach from the Toronto area, they wanted a vehicle with all-wheel drive. In fact, that was one of Dean’s favourites, too. Her personal favourite model was the 2009 Fit she had for eight years. Never again we will deal with this place.While Dean has driven many Hondas, his wife, Caroline, has also had a Honda ever since she started driving. This new person told us that all 5 cars that were available a few hours ago are all sold *laughing outloud" and that the only one they had came with an upcharge! All I can say is their dishonesty shocked us the most, 12 years of us buying/leasing cars and we never had such a disappointing experience. When we told him about our discussion with Olivia he sounded shocked and told us he will get her, instead he got Olivia's manager. ![]() We hired a sitter for the kids, drove 30 miles only to be handed over to a brand new salesperson Umberto who gave us a completely new estimates. ![]() She told us to come to the dealership and assured us everything will be exactly what we discussed. We explained to her that we were very short of time since we were down 1 car and would appreciate if she can be upfront and honest about the numbers she quoted us and about the process. Olivia in sales spoke to us on the phone and told us she had not one, not two but five vehicles in stock that we were interested in. We had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this place. ![]()
