      Here’s some of the smaller observations gathered after 600 km behind the wheel of Honda’s hybrid HR-V.  So a little while back, Honda very generously offered this writer the opportunity to spend a few days with the newly-facelifted HR-V e:HEV RS. Though describing it as “facelifted” may admittedly be the big H overselling things slightly here, as the mild titivation performed is (to put it kindly) sufficiently subtle that the full review previously written on its pre-facelift predecessor (linked here) remains largely relevant. As it just so happened however, there was quite a fair bit of driving to be done…
