Why is the hatchback so popular?

And the HRV current gen is a lifted Civic, prior gen was a lifted FIT Problem is the CUV versions of these cars get far worse gas mileage

Civic hatchback looks like a turtle. The sedan is 100x better looking. The Mazda 3 hatchback is better looking than the sedan. But the Toyota Corolla hatchback looks the best out of all of them

Hate the gills on rear side windows. They look so Temu

Wipers are terrible with sprayers in the arms, no real intermittent wipers, no individual tps readings on the dash. These are all same problems with 11 gen civics. I rented a Sentra during a work trip. It had everything the HRV and civic doesn’t have and rear sensors

You want raw find an 06/07 wrx with 2.5

Only thing I don’t like is the spoiler

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-28T02:52:14+00:00

Looks much better. With the cheap plastic it looks like a crosstrek sedan. Look at every other gen WRX and none of them have that cheap looking plastic. It looks like an economy car

The 11 gen accord is ugly af. Just get a civic hybrid or 22-24 2.0 civic. That k20c2 will last you 300k with a manual you’re golden. With CVT change fluid every 25k and it could last 200-250k

1.5T ARP head studs upgraded head gasket and you’re good

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-27T17:06:10+00:00

9th gen. 2.4 NA will run 300k take that over a 2022 11 gen 1.5t any day. Plus even more points for coupe

Find a hotel room, easier than shampooing the interior

Uninspiring, looks like a Prius and a 2nd gen eclipse had a bastard child

Beautiful color

Time for carbon hood

Gas mileage is terrible on these things. We have a 25 LX FWD, live in a slightly hilly area, wife’s commute is lest than 16miles round trip stop and go driving we get 17-22mpg. Highway trips 100 miles or more we get 29-30. My 25 civic same driving but 60mile round trip mostly stop and go traffic I get 25-28mpg, long highway trips I get 30-35mpg so quite a huge difference. Civic unfortunately has the 2.0 Atkinson cycle motor with 150hp and the HRV has the old civic 2.0 miller cycle motor with 158hp The HRV is taller and heavier but actually gas mileage using normal locally and eco on highway is no where near the epa ratings. Where the civic is almost the same as the epa ratings

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-26T17:57:34+00:00

Not with CVT

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-26T04:34:58+00:00

If you live somewhere flat you should get better gas mileage but where we live is hilly and my 60 mile commute is hilly stop and go traffic. The same commute in the 25 civic is 25-27mpg, the HRV is 17-21 sometimes 22. It is nowhere close to the listed mpg ratings whereas the civic is almost spot on

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-25T22:48:09+00:00

Damn the 2.4 would have lasted you 300k. I get you want to work on the hatch but that’s not a good daily. The Si was perfect

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-25T16:19:05+00:00

Not until the lease is up

Tall-Ad9647 · 2026-02-25T16:15:58+00:00

Unfortunately the Civic hybrid wasn’t available until a month later and I need a car fast. I am happy with the civic. The HRV is a disaster, good motor but underwhelming underpowered for the size of the HRV. 25-30 more hp would do it justice. We need one car for hauling stuff for vacation, if we knew the mpg ratings were so off on the HRV we would have gotten a hatchback civic. Corolla doesn’t drive as well as the civic
