los angeles 2014 honda hr v gets a manual

While Mazda isn’t offering a manual gearbox on their CX-3 mini-CUV, Honda will be offering one on 2WD versions of the HR-V [UPDATE – 7:50 p.m. Pacific, 11/19/2014: Live photos from the LA Auto Show now available – CA].

Powered by the Civic’s 1.8L 4-cylinder engine making 138 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. For those that don’t want to row their own (or want Honda’s Real-Time 4WD system), a CVT is the only other option.

The big draw for the HR-V is the Fit’s “Magic Seat” second row, which can fold in all number of ways to accommodate people and objects. Honda is touting up to 100 cubic feet of passenger volume and 58.8 cubic feet with the seats down (24.3 with the seats up)

I saw this car on the autoshow recently, and im glad i bought the Subaru XV 2.0 with CVT instead. Its not a bad car in any sense, but i think my need is better served in a Subaru. after having the subaru for a while ( 1500km), all i can say its kinda awesome. To drive the CVT needs some skill adjustment, but afterwards i have no problem to make it goes fast n do tricks. its a huge plus on heavy traffic too. The CX3... well based on previous experience, mazda looks better than it drives, and i suppose the HRV would drives better than it looks.

Derek, when you say that the seats are magic, do you mean that if I were to make the unforgivable mistake of taking my children with me when I go shopping, they will magically disappear so the back of the car can be folded such that it is essentially a two-seater? And then my kids will magically reappear when I get home, right? Because I still like them. I've read that the majority of children these days are born to single mothers. Are these people supposed to get a babysitter anytime they plan to buy more than a few bags of groceries? Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are supposed to buy a Pilot or an Odyssey. Great.

  My two year old won't sit in the shopping cart. I would like these magic seats.

  These magic seats are just perfect for when I bring my dog, a labracadabrador.

The Oracle Good news is that based on the model years many of these have already been junked or experienced terminal engine failure.
Lou_BC I'm confused, isn't a Prologue a preview? This would be a preview of a preview.
Dianne Started my investments by learning from the wrong people and you guessed right, that turned on me in the worst way possible. In 16 months, I had lost approximately $100,000. The bitter part of investment that no one talks about. That was too much over such a short duration of time. What makes the system can also break it. And so I decided to try out MYSTERIOUS HACKER on the same to get back my money. Had futile attempts for 2 months. Until I crossed paths with a Mysterious hacker. All he asked for was a few details regarding the investment and in a couple hours, I had my money back without any upfront payment.WEBSITE: https://mysterioushacker.info TELEGRAM: +15625539611 EMAIL: mysterioushack666@cyber-wizard.com

Tre65688381 Definitely more attractive than it's German rivals, but I'd still rather have the standard GV80. One of the best looking mid size SUV/Crossovers on the road, in my opinion. And the updates for 2024 hone it gently in the right direction with more tasteful but subtle changes.
