2018 hrv just got totaled. Looking for what year is best to replace it
I loved my 2018 Honda hrv EX. I just found out today that it will be getting totaled after a guy turned into my car. I am now trying to decide which year I should replace it with. I have heard the 2019 has had the CVT transmission retuned which is appealing. But I also researched into it and in 2023 the CVT was vastly improved. It seems the price point from year to year changes in my by a few grand so I’m willing to consider anything from 2019-2024. I like the idea that the body is bigger in the newer models with more trunk space but I’m worried it won’t feel like it’s as sporty and small when driving. I also think the newer redesigned body is a bit more attractive.
Things I LOVED about my 2018: -The magic seats -The right mirror blinker camera -The feeling of driving with it not being bulky feeling -I also own a lot of things (summer and winter tires, weather Matts for the trunk and all seats ect. That could go into the new car so long as the body size and shape are similar enough) -Cloth seats (I don’t like leather)
Things I didn’t like:
- sometimes the cvt transmission would make the car feel a bit laggy
- no apple car play -small trunk space and my trim didn’t have rails to put my roof box on
Any thoughts on what year and trim may be the best fit?? I have been trying to google it but between so many options and trim levels it’s overwhelming. Thanks in advance
