I love the bright red color of my HR-V! It's fun and makes me happy when I see it in the parking lot. It has been exceptionally reliable, only requiring routine service about every 8500 miles and the gas mileage has been exceptional (as compared to my previous AWD Subaru which struggled to get 25 mpg). I'm not entirely happy with the interior of the car, missing the many storage compartments that were in that previous Subaru and the leg room I had on the driver's side. I don't know how someone over 6' tall manages in this vehicle.
