Just a note: be aware that Honda know there are problems with the CVT on an HR-
V (which was why they discontinued them here in Australia...) We have now
bought a Jazz as our second car, and the CVT on that is much better and
eliminates the problems the HR-V was renowned for.

If you've only recently bought your HR-V and have had it serviced regularly by
a Honda dealer, they have a special arrangement here to cover
repair/replacement of the CVT for 10 years.

We had our's done for free at the first sign of the shudders, so worth looking
into!
