Traded in my 2018 Civic Hatchback for a 2025 HR-V Sport today. Anyone have any must-have accessory recommendations, tips or things to watch out for?
I’ve never seen one in red before, looks cool!

The red on the HR-V is so much better than the CR-V red. I still don’t get why the Sport trims don’t come with moonroofs.

I think they skip the moonroof to keep it lighter for performance reasons. Still, it’s a bummer.

The Sport trim comes right after the LX trim, so it’s more of an appearance package. The EX and Touring trims are the top ones. But yeah, the red on the HR-V is so nice, I agree!

Thanks! It was between red and urban grey, but that red really pops.

I really like the red too! I usually go for grey or black, but Honda’s red is just awesome!
Congrats on the new ride! I bought a 2025 HR-V Sport too, but I’ve had a few issues. I got some floor liners, which fit great and protect the carpet. But I’ve run into some mechanical issues right away that still aren’t fixed. I’ve had it for a month.
@Zach
What kind of issues have you been dealing with?

I’ve been dealing with some lag when starting from a stop, and I’ve noticed hesitation when climbing hills around 2500 RPM. I’ve had other Hondas with CVTs, but never noticed these things before. It also sounds like it’s pinging under light load, maybe from the injectors or lifters. There’s also a weird hissing sound around the fuel tank, like air being released, which makes me worry it’s the fuel pump. I took it to the dealership, but they just brushed me off, saying it’s just the direct injection system. Problem is, our HR-Vs don’t even have direct injection. I left feeling frustrated, but I really like the car overall. I just wish I could get some solid answers.
@Zach
That’s really frustrating. Hope they get it sorted out for you soon. I love mine so far.
This was a great trade, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

I’m absolutely happy with the trade! I almost got an HR-V back in 2018 when I bought my Hatch, but it was still on the Fit platform back then.
@Layne
I’ve had the chance to drive and sit in almost every Honda model from the past decade. In my opinion, the 2023-2025 HR-V has the best interior, exterior, and seating position of the new generation.
@Noah
I was fully prepared to walk away with a Hatch after driving the HR-V, but it drove way better than I expected! I really agree on the seating position too—I’m getting too old to be sitting so low to the ground.
Did you get a Lamborghini Urus? Nice!
A red Honda? Classic choice.
I hope they fixed the issue with the back glass randomly shattering. The HR-Vs look great in red!
Nice!
Is it AWD?
