That is the downside, the VTEC engine comes in at £315.nitin_s1 wrote:How much is the road tax on the HR-V?
The 1.6 2WD is £255.
But I offset that against the cheap upfront cost, (2-4k for a decent one, imo). Spend a little cleaning underside, check rust and fresh underseal.
The 1.6VTEC has some lively momemts and is very comfy just riding along at 70mph.
Handling - I've had worse bodyroll in CR-V's.
Downside, it does need revs for that get up and go, but, as a daily it is such an easy drive. Light steering and clutch and I find it really comfortable.
A long drive to Leeds from Sutton was easy, the car itself did what I needed for a cruise up North. Didn't feel tired by the end of 4hrs+ driving.
Crucially it didn't shame itself in the third lane. Driving style adapted to pull out, overtake, and swiftly pull in, as opposed to Lude madness!!!
I'm currently contemplating the benefits of re mapping the engine to iron out some flat spots....
But, overall I don't regret the HR-V.
I like that's it's sort of one those weird Honda's,
It's a really nice drive, but, I was reminded when I drove the Lude over 500 miles...
Just how f ing good the Lude is as a driving experience.
