"The Honda HR-V has evolved into a hybrid-only SUV with smooth styling but it's a shame boot space has shrunk"

    An all-round great car and very economical. It has plenty of toys and a great display, plus it's relatively comfortable and has more than enough space. My main complaint is the unrefined and underpowered engine.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    Looks (especially in red)
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    Engine noise

    Incredible car. The boot isn’t the biggest, but with the flexible rear seating, this really isn’t a problem whatsoever. Adults over six-foot can sit comfortably in the rear with plenty of headspace and the legroom is first class. The only problem is the lack of grunt from the 1.5-litre engine – you have to rev it out, but if you don’t mind this, the Honda HR-V is a class leader.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    Fuel economy – not a plug-in hybrid which makes it far more convenient to use.
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    The CVT gearbox
