Well, my 6-year Elantra is terminally ill (internal engine problem). It was sudden and unexpected, and all of its friends are in disbelieving shock. I just finished paying for it last month, and I guess it decided that it had fulfilled its obligation to me.

In any case, I bought a 2021 HR-V from Honda. It was their last day of “Zero APR”, a promotion that is extremely rare for them. I got all the bells and whistles; sun roof, push button starting, 4-wheel drive, turn signal cameras, etc. I got the full maintenance package, of course, since they want an arm and a leg for maintenance otherwise.

Does anyone have or have had an HR-V? If so, how has your experience been?
