Hi Folks- been a long time since I posted here. Sadly my 2010 Fit was totaled on October 20th when another driver ran a stop sign.
I loved my Fit not even 60K miles on it.

I am looking at the Honda HR-V, Subaru Forester & Toyota Rav4. I would like 4/AWD since I am in Colorado. I had a Subaru Wagon before buying my Fit and really did notice a difference driving in the snow.

Anyone have any feedback on the HR-V? Going to test drive tomorrow.

 

meh do the subaru!

 

Neighbors have an HR-V. Nice interior and they love it. Not many miles on it, but it's been trouble free. I think it's the low cost provider of the vehicles you listed.

The Subaru sounds the most interesting of the bunch.

Maybe throw the Crosstrek into the mix of possibilities? I think it more directly competes with the HR-V. If you're out shopping, maybe also check out the Golf Alltrack?

 

If you want something all-wheel-drive, get a Subaru. I've had 7 in a mix of Imprezas, Foresters, and a Legacy. Current one is a 2016 Forester. If you have any questions abut Subarus, let me know.

 

Thanks! Cost wise the Crosstrek is the competitor to the HR-V. My daughter has one. I've ridden in it several times, my Fit seemed about as roomy inside. I was able to "fit" my 2 short (8 foot) kayaks into my Fit, so that is a key consideration. I do love the Forester, but price wise it is a bit out of reach unless I go used. I loved the flexibility of the magic seats and the HR-V has those, plus slightly larger and AWD.

 

Honestly, my opinion is all 3 of those are good vehicles.
So if it was me? I'd go test drive, check them out, and also see what "deals" you might be able to find.
Any one you end up with is a pretty nice vehicle.
Plus your decision might be made much easier after some direct, hands on exploration. Sometimes simple things can knock a vehicle out of the running.
But honestly? I think whichever one you choose out of those 3 will be a good choice.

 

I would go subaru - we just got the 2018 Crosstrek and love that car! Honda dealerships would give us a reasonable price.
