I will have to decide within the next couple of weeks so I would really appreciate input from people who might be in the same predicament as I am. This is the way I see it:
Pros:
XV -
AWD
Side airbags
Cons:
My mom already owns one
Not much toys inside
Smaller cargo area
HR-V
Pros:
Touch screen HU w/ reverse camera
Generally, more toys inside
Bigger cargo area
Cons:
FWD only
No side airbags
Ugly wheels
By the way, it will be 99% driven by my wife to ferry our son to and from school, malls, etc.
