The WR-V feels more crossover-ish than some of its rivals
Verdict – The Honda WR-V sits perfectly between the Jazz and City. It comes with good bells and whistles and is a practical car. It is also fun to drive and offers good fuel efficiency. The WR-V makes good sense for someone who wants a funky looking car that offers a lot.
