2023 HR-V LX Safety Review

Welp, on this day, a beautiful 2023 Honda HR-V LX AWD in Nordic Forest Pearl went up to car heaven. However, I am writing this post to give Honda the most amazing safety review I can muster.

A box truck mistook a 2 way stop for a 4 way stop and pulled in front of me at 45mph. The box truck was ok besides a little bent step frame My HR-V was clearly deemed totaled.

However, felt the need to make a post, as I, 7 hours later, have literally not a scratch on my entire body. MOST AMAZINGLY however, I do not feel the slightest bit of whiplash, not a single bruised collar from the seat belt, and the only injury I have to share is the SLIGHTEST little red mark on my inner hand from where the air bag deployed. Not even a burn, just a little smack.

This car kept me completely safe in a terrible accident. Obviously, the safety measures like the emergency braking and such did not prevent the accident, but I was on a dirt road and definitely slid quite a ways across the gravel.

So, know that you can feel safe in this car with your loved ones. I will absolutely be using my insurance claim to hopefully get the exact same vehicle (probably won't find a similar certified pre-owned in Nordic Forest Pearl again😭but thats ok).

Update:

Thank you to everyone that was concerned. Just to keep you all posted, it has now been over 24hrs and I'm still feeling plain as day! Can't say I feel any different than I did before the accident (besides frustrated, having to deal with insurance).

Installed the OEM Roof Rack on my 2023 AWD LX back in February. Just set my rope lengths for my canoe with this roof rack. I used these anchor straps under the hood and the rear anchor point on the vehicle to tie down the bow and stern. Drove on freeway, 75mph+, all is well. Only issue I noticed, you have push the anchor straps as far up the hood as you can, or else they will slowly move up or down as you drive. If you put them all the way to the back of the hood they cannot move up anymore, and the tension of the rope will prevent them from falling down.
