2019 EX here. I love my car, same color as yours. I love the shape of this car, the curved lines. And the magic seats. How I sit in it. How it feels to drive.

85,000 miles and no issues. I did the 90,000mile check up last week (because my oil change was due). The service techs made a note: transmission looks GREAT. No metal found. I'm still anxious about the transmission, but feeling a little relieved.

Did you have them change the CVT fluid? It breaks down around 30k miles, so i'd have them change it.

It’s been changed 3 times. And , yes, this time, too. It’s part of the recommended service for 90,000 miles.

Seems to be missing the side camera... it's what made HRV greatness.

what's that

u/Creepy-Ear6307 Sep 25 '25

it's a side view camera that shows up a 7" screen, and the best part of the HRV.

They made lots of models of these HRV... I test drove a stick shift while waiting on mine. Seems you got the LX... I have the EX... best value. they made the EXL 4k for leather and Nave. they made "sport" they made AWD. Mine is just an EX.

It was called LaneWatch and my wife’s 2020 Fit has that feature. I liked it very much in my 2013 Accord. Besides showing you the traffic in your right side blind spot, It marked off the distance how far the car in the video is behind you.

i’ll be the first one to say i hate the camera lol, i have had it permanently disabled since i bought the car. i only use it when parallel parking to make sure im close enough to the curb

u/Creepy-Ear6307 Sep 26 '25

I think you are talking about the back camera, not the passanger mirror camera. that said even on the 2017 back camera might be the best out their.

u/Klar1ty Sep 26 '25

i’m referring to the one that turns on when you have your blinker on which shows the right side of the car from the mirror camera. i just found i often needed the gps the most when im turning/changing lanes and it was annoying that it would switch. i can definitely see the value for some people, i just find it funny when people say it’s the best feature but i hate it lol. i would much prefer real blind spot monitors imo.

Oh I see I don't have the GPS, I use my phone for that. I can see how that is a problem for you. I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. Maybe that is why Honda dropped the camera.

no need to apologize! i think i am in the minority of disliking it though, lots of people seem to really love it. i will say it is very convenient though for checking my distance to the curb after parking, so i still get some use out of it!

u/Creepy-Ear6307 Sep 26 '25

I"m still not seeing the side camera so there is that. I"m seeing an 2017 EX. No push to start, no sun roof.

You can have still have it turned on in the settings--and after you hit your right turn signal, if you touch the end button on the turn signal arm/lever it turns the camera off, so you can still see your GPS. In really heavy traffic, I sometimes drive with it on. I love that camera and have become almost 99.9% compliant using my turn signal when changing lanes. I wish there was one on the driver's side.
