Let’s Talk About It This grass roots publication is the life source for a community that is not easily afforded viable access to diverse and accessible media. San Antonio and the surrounding counties have become accustomed to relevant news brought to them in both English and Spanish since 1913.

Balancing Independence and Safety: When Should We Step In?

By Yvette Tello Are we unintentionally harming our elderly loved ones by our well-intentioned actions?

We often ask them to give up driving because of safety concerns, but then we have younger generations who lack essential driving skills in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Is that a fair trade-off?

Yvette Tello Sometimes, we might assume that our elderly Interim Publisher relatives are finished with certain aspects of y.tello@laprensatexas.com life. I recently had a conversation with a Ramon Chapa Jr. remarkable 93-year-old man who shared his Community Liaison perspective. He told me that if his children r.chapa@laprensatexas.com were to take away his ability to drive and, subsequently, his autonomy, he would feel as Roxanne Eguia though his life was over. When should we, as Editor In Chief r.eguia@laprensatexas.com parents or older adults, welcome our children's intervention in handling our physical abilities?

Nicodemus Gonzalez When do you believe it's appropriate for your Graphic Designer kids or loved ones to step in and make decisions Dr. Ricardo Romo about your independence? Let's talk about it…

Frank Burton: “Regarding driving in particular, they can pose a threat to themselves and others. With issues like dementia, confusion, bad eyesight and slow reflexes to name a few. That being said, I don't think they should just age out but that everyone gets tested for these things. Everyone ages differently so we can't treat them all the same. My thoughts on it anyway. Great question!”

John Bell: “I am 71 and volunteered to retake my Texas CDL. I had not driven an 18 wheeler or larger in over 15 years. I am a Texas resident.

I passed all of the written tests and driving tests. This includes backing, parallel parking and road tests. Also passed triples, doubles, tanker and hazmat. I feel as long as your brain is functioning there is no need for a retest. It is the young drivers that can’t leave the cell phone alone while driving that is the problem."

Mikey Barrera: “In my opinion, you can do what you can when you can and if you can't do it no more, then you can't. We often forget that when we were born, we could not take care of ourselves. As we age and get older, we kind of revert to that, people feeding you and changing your diapers. You not listening and a whole bunch of crying, like I said if you can you can.”

Elsa Sixtos: “When I'm on a machine, disconnect it and get on with your lives.”

Rick Carter: “They should have stopped me from driving long before becoming a senior.

I know terrible drivers. This gentleman is 93

and still has all his wits. He is not just fighting the aging process but fighting his kids too.”

Roy Cruz: “Heavy topic.. I'll think about that one. Very good point.”

Peter Valentine: “I am 78 and would be very happy to take a test of continuing competence.”

Bill Johnston: “ I’m an old guy (71, soon) and I do believe there should be some point at which competency to drive should be re-evaluated. I like to drive, and I like to drive with a sense of pride about my skill levels. I pay attention to how I operate a vehicle (car, truck, or motorcycle) and in approximately 2 million miles of driving have never caused an accident.”

Nicholas Beck : “Yes! This is a very serious subject, even though some tend to make light of Mr. and Mrs. Magoo drivers. I'm afraid of elderly drivers. The truly dangerous ones are in DENIAL. I need to be careful with such statements since I'm now a senior myself! I've had many close calls with elderly drivers during my life, but my grandma takes the cake. This was 38 years ago in Los Angeles. Her ability to drive safely dissolved, completely, by age 75-ish. She was flat-out deadly, which came to my attention after learning of her numerous minor accidents in the span of one year. I rode along with her to see just how bad it was. She ran a stop sign and a red light, changed lanes without looking, narrowly missed pedestrians who were halfway through a crosswalk while stating that there was plenty of room to go around them... and then there was the 'ol senior classic -- pressing accelerator instead of brake.

After a few minutes of this I knew she was done behind the wheel, because this is friggin NUTS! ‘Pull over Grams!’ I was soaked in sweat. I had a long talk with her -- with me glassed-over and pleading -- but it made no impact on her. ‘Don't worry honey, I'm okay.

I need a car sweetie pie, you know that.’ Then I got mad. ‘Goddammit Grams, you're going to kill someone! I'm NOT kidding!’ I drove her home, kissed her on the forehead, told her to call me if she needed a ride after 5pm or on the weekend, and took her car keys with me. She agreed to stop driving.But after I left she called a locksmith.This was like a deathwatch. I took her keys yet again, but she'd had many spares made, apparently. She kept driving. I brought other family members into it, no help. I notified police; she was not DUI so there's nothing they could do. I contacted her insurance agent; he said they were aware of the situation and were looking into it (she was paying an enormous

probationary premium because of all the minor accidents). Her physician told me there was nothing he could do legally, and then lectured me on life in America and the freedoms we all cherish. It was her word against mine. I begged the Dept. of Motor Vehicles for an urgent intervention; they agreed to notify her to come in for the driving test... but when!? I spoke with an attorney who recommended I hound the DMV every day about her deadly driving and numerous fender-benders. I did. Weeks went by. Grandma somehow managed to delay or subvert all attempts to curb her driving. While waiting for these agencies to do something, I began a campaign of sabotaging her baby blue 1974 Rambler Ambassador (dented all to hell) with a bumper sticker that read "Let me tell you about my Grandchildren." I felt terrible, but I removed the car's ignition distributor. Another time I removed a wheel and put it in my trunk.

I pulled fuses. I put on a steering wheel lock.

I fouled the carburetor. Now desperate to stop her from driving, I began ripping-out wires under the instrument panel. Each time, her AAA Auto Club got her up and running again at great cost. Why wasn't anyone listening to me? I hatched a plan to temporarily hide her car without being arrested for grand theft auto, but before I could work out the logistics she ran a stop sign and slammed (clipped) a carload of kids. Amazingly, Grandma was not physically hurt, but the cops had to pry her vice-grip fingers from the steering wheel.

I read in the report that she was in shock and babbling incoherently in disbelief. Thankfully, she hit only the REAR of the other car, spinning it around. A few of the kids had bad bruises and deep cuts to their faces requiring sutures, some with possible concussions, but at least there was no paralysis or death. I immediately took the police report to the DMV, and from there to her insurance company. The next day her license was revoked. NOW they listened to me. I had her car repaired and then sold it for her. I get chills thinking about those kids, and Grandma, and how bad it could've been if it was a direct T-bone broadside at 40 mph. Seniors, say beginning at age 65, (I am age 64) need more extensive and frequent testing before a driver's license renewal is granted -- yes, maybe every 12 to 18 months. And of course, I include myself in that group. Research is now revealing that dementia, in all its variations and for all its numerous causes, is sneaky. The depth of it may only come to light under reasoning and dexterity testing (and certainly a road test), not just simpler memory testing.”

About the Cover Artist: Francisco H Cortés Courtesy of the City of San Antonio Arts & Culture Department

Francisco Cortés was born on the border between the rural states of Oaxaca and Veracruz in Southern Mexico. After migrating to Texas at an early age, Cortés made the Southside of San Antonio home, leaving to pursue Chicano Studies and Photojournalism at the University of Texas at Austin. Cortés is known for his photojournalistic storytelling: ranging from pensive moments, to civil unrest, to the experiences of immigrants in their alternating contexts.

With film photography and darkroom printing techniques as his foundation, Cortés addresses his images with a minimalist approach, accentuating but not manipulating truths.

He instructs young photographers of color through educational programs, such as: “Detrás del Lente” and his most recently established non-profit: “The Light Catchers Society.

The title of the cover is “David Alvarez shares his story, beaming with pride when discussing his future plans: San Antonio Cassiano Homes, Diptych 2021.”

Meet the artist at Centro de Artes Gallery on Thursday, October 26 at 6 p.m. for an Artist Talk, featuring exhibition curator Guillermina Zabala (San Antonio), photographers Francisco Cortes (San Antonio) and Verónica Cárdenas (McAllen) in conversation with Washington Post journalist Arelis R. Hernández. They will discuss the From SA to SA exhibition, their photojournalism practice and the power of documentary photography as a force for social change.

Exhibit on view through December 30

MACRI Opens First Visitor Center A Landmark Step Toward Preserving Mexican American Civil Rights History The Mexican American Civil Rights Institute celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for its highly-anticipated Visitor Center this month.

“This represents a monumental stride towards the realization of a national Mexican American civil rights history museum,” says Dr. Sarah Gould, Executive Director of MACRI. “We’re delighted to commemorate this occasion with a community event that promises to be a vibrant cultural experience, reflecting the rich tapestry of Mexican American heritage that MACRI seeks to preserve and celebrate.”

MACRI hosted a lively block party featuring performances by the renowned Guadalupe Dance Company, Mariachi Azteca de America, and members of the San Antonio Philharmonic. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, and District 5 City Councilwoman Teri Castillo presented to share remarks, among other special guests.

Founded in 2019, MACRI has been at the forefront of presenting nearly 100 public programs dedicated to Mexican American civil rights history. Notably, MACRI recently collaborated with the US Mint, Smithsonian Institution, and various local

nonprofit partners to launch the Jovita Idar quarter in San Antonio.

The inauguration of the Visitor Center marks a significant milestone in MACRI's journey towards establishing the nation's first museum dedicated to Mexican American civil rights history.

In conjunction with the opening of the Visitor Center, MACRI is proud to announce the selection of the esteemed architectural firm, Ford, Powell, Carson, to conduct a comprehensive site feasibility study for MACRI's forthcoming permanent museum. With a legacy of designing some of San Antonio's most iconic buildings and places, Ford, Powell, Carson is well-poised to contribute its expertise to this historic endeavor.

"We are incredibly honored to have been selected by MACRI to help realize their goal of bringing a permanent museum to San Antonio that shares the many contributions Mexican Americans have made to advance democracy in the United States. Our firm's passion for designing and preserving culturally significant places and spaces perfectly aligns with MACRI's mission.

We look forward to working alongside all the community partners on this critically important project," Nathan Perez, Principal at Ford,

Powell, Carson.

While MACRI is a national organization with engagement that spans the country, it remains unwavering in its commitment to being rooted in San Antonio’s historic Westside, a community deeply intertwined with Mexican American civil rights history.

“When you think about all the things that have happened in San Antonio that are related to the advancement of Mexican American civil rights, it really is historic,” says Henry Cisneros, former San Antonio Mayor and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. “This is really for all of us, not just people of Mexican American or Hispanic heritage.

There is a real story to tell that is important for all Americans, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that it is being done on the historic Westside.”

The Mexican American Civil Rights Institute (MACRI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and educating the public about Mexican American civil rights history. Established in 2019, MACRI has been a driving force behind numerous initiatives and programs that highlight the contributions and struggles of Mexican Americans in the pursuit of civil rights in the United States.

Los Spurs Por Una Mejor Temporada Por Franco Con refuerzos el pentacampeón Los Spurs de San Antonio bajó el timonel Gregg Popovich (Pop), quién estará en su 27a campaña a l frente de la franquicia Silver and Black, y quien renovó contrato por 5 años, sé estarán perfilando para una mejor temporada en la Conferencia del Oeste NBA 2023-24.

Los Spurs con el fichaje del astro francés Víctor Wembanyama apodado cariñosamente Wemby y otros novatos, prometen ser un equipo con armas para estar entre los mejores 8 teams del Oeste.

Wemby y sus compañeros tendrán el compromiso de salir adelante y demostrar a los aficionados tener el plan de ganar partidos qué les ayuden a clasificarse en la serie de Pretempo-

rada 2023-24.

La comunidad de San Antonio espera ver a un equipo cómo años en los que brillaron con The Admiral David Robinson, Tim Duncan y posteriormente con el guardia francés Tony Parker y el versátil escolta argentino Manu Ginobili. Quiénes fueron los actores de darle a San Antonio 5 trofeos Larry O'Brien.

Pop con está qué será su temporada 27 dirigiendo a Los Spurs, tendrá alineaciones diferentes con basquetbolistas de gran calidad y decididos a poner en alto el nombre de San Antonio.

En la pretemporada los Spurs han dado buenos resultados, perdió el primer partido por un punto ante OKC Thunder y luego dio cuenta en el Frost Bank Center ante Heat de Miami 120-104.

El lunes 16 de octubre en casa se enfrentó ante su rival de la autopista 1-10 los Rockets de Houston dirigidos por el ex Spur Ime Udoka, quién superó al maestro (Pop), con tenaz plan de juego de cierre ganado con pizarra de 99-89.

Cabe anotar qué Spurs no alineó con Wemby y los estelares Devin Vassell, Tre Jones.

Sin embargo por tres cuartos de tiempo estuvieron mandando en la pizarra. Rockets sé fajo en el cuarto periodo y logró adjudicarse el triunfo en la jornada lunera de Pretemporada.

Los espectadores disfrutaron de gran ambiente y en la ceremonia del Himno Nacional aplaudieron la presentación de la gigantesca Living Flag y la interpretación del guitarrista Alex Izaguirre, quién recibió emotiva ovación.

Pop, en su opinión ante los medios especializados al final del partido contra Miami Heat del timonel Erik Spoelstra, quién no trajo a sus tiradores estelares, enfatizó lo siguiente.

"Un partido más de Pretemporada qué nos sirvió verlos jugar en equipo, (refiriéndose a los Spurs qué alineó con Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell y Wemby). Cada partido es duro, nuestros jugadores han dado todo en sus habilidades siguiendo dirección de nuestro plan de juego en la ofensiva y defensiva. Tenemos qué seguir en la misma forma. Le doy crédito al plan de juego de Miami. Por ello participaron en la gran final de la pasada temporada. Spoelstra sigue adelante dirigiendo a un gran equipo. Sin embargo tendremos que trabajar más consistente en obtener rebotes y ser

más agresivos en la canasta. En cuanto a Víctor Wembanyama, lo seguiremos alineando cómo delantero y poste, ya qué es un jugador disciplinado y con habilidades pará encontrar su espacio sobre la cancha".

Los Spurs visitará a Warriors y después será anfitrión local de inicio de temporada regular el miércoles 25 de octubre contra su rival de la autopista I-35 Mavericks de Dallas en el horario de las 8:30 pm.

Desde esa fecha el pentacampeón Spurs de San Antonio arrancará etapa por una mejor temporada qué los lleve a clasificarse a la postemporada. En las fotos aparecen: Panorámica del Himno Nacional. Acción contra Rockets y Wemby en la banca motivando a sus compañeros. (Fotos de Franco).

Hispanic Heritage Month Highlights Latino Artists in Exciting Venues

Jesus Treviño, “Dentro Caja Pinta,” Oil on burnt panel. 2023.

Courtesy of the artist.

By Ricardo Romo PhD. October is one of the preeminent months for showcasing the works of Latino artists. Many art museums and galleries across the United States celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month which runs from September 15 to October 15. In San Antonio, Texas one of the premier art shows, Red Dot, also has an annual exhibit that fortunately coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month. This year Andi Rodriguez served as the Red Dot’s Honorary Patron.

Red Dot, in its 33rd year, exhibited the works of over 100 artists, more than twenty of whom are of Latino origin.

It is one of the longest-running art shows in Texas and benefits both the artists and the Contemporary at Blue Star. I am familiar with

many of this year’s Red Dot artists including Honorary Artist Cathy CunninghamLittle, Ricky Armendariz, Suzy Gonzalez, Andy Benavides, Guillermina Zabala, Cruz Ortiz, Rubio, Raul Gonzalez, Gabriel Garcia, and Albert Gonzales. Contemporary’s Executive Director Mary Heathcott gave a shout-out to Kaleido, which she noted would give Red Dot a global reach and “elevate the Red Dot show to an immersive augmented reality engagement.”

Andy Benavides, one of the artists in the 2023 Red Dot show and last year’s Red Dot Honorary Artist, has goals to “develop works that create a sensory experience through the use of various experimental mediums.” His work in the Red Dot exhibit

succeeds in that objective and is one of the more unconventional pieces. He used a glass mirror as a medium designed to attract the viewer but also to make the viewer an impermanent part of the art piece. Depending on where we stand as observers looking into the mirror, we can be a part of the art object or we can use it as a way to view the art around us.

Benavides is a native of San Antonio and one of the principal leaders in the development of the art district known as Southtown. He studied Fine Arts at the University of North Texas and worked for a brief time in Dallas. His plan was always to return to his “homeland,” the Southside of San Antonio.

Benavides opened a custom graphic design company in 1993 initially doing props and signage for Fiesta Texa and Sea World of Texas. He also consulted with major construction companies, the San Antonio Museo Alameda, and San Pedro Creek Cultural Park in interior and exterior art design. Benavides works closely with many of the local muralists in Southtown, including Joe Lopez, Rubio, Shek, and Los Otros Muralistas.

Benavides considers himself a contemporary artist and thoughtfully avoids creating works that keep him in one particular style of art. He views cultural diversity as an approach to creating art. He considers this approach as a

major strength and applies it in the use of his choice of materials and mediums.

We visited Kaleido’s Alamo City Arthouse in Southtown to view and experience a popup art gallery exhibit open only from October 13–22. Kaleido is a San Antonio startup with a dazzling digital platform for the visual arts. The Kaleido Arthouse showcases a mix of local and international artists.

In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the participating artists in the current exhibit identify as Hispanic or Latin@. The works span the genres of portrait and figurative, abstract

and expressionist, and pop and urban space art.

One of the international artists featured at the Kaleido Arthouse in Southtown is Colombian artist Bibiana Camargo who currently resides in Barcelona, Spain. Two of her works in the exhibit, titled Blossoming Journey I and Blossoming Journey II, draw on her experiences and those of her fellow countrywomen who migrated to seek a better life. She developed the artwork for this show to portray the positive process of unforced migration that offersnew beginnings, new spaces, and new places that

from COVID-19. However, Camargo was a voluntary migrant with dual Spanish and Colombian citizenship who left her native country to learn more about art and design. She wanted to emphasize the contrast between old and new places, the experiences of humans who want a better future, and the ways migrants must adapt to the complexities of migration.

Colombia leads South American countries in migration to the United States and currently represents one of every four immigrants from South America residing in the United States. The topic of migration is close to Camargo’s own experience having migrated to Spain seven years ago. In her artwork, she expresses the difficulties of migration even in instances where it is not necessarily a forced migration.

She argues that migration is a universal phenomenon representing the movement of people who yearn for a new beginning, a reality that she attempts to capture in her paintings.

Editorial de Elección de Escuela Por Valeria Gurr El debate sobre las opciones escolares ha alcanzado un punto álgido en Texas, y la legislatura estatal está un paso más cerca de hacer historia al aprobar por primera vez las opciones escolares privadas en el estado de la Estrella Solitaria.

Durante la sesión especial, en la que el Gobernador Greg Abbott convocó para promover las opciones escolares, el Proyecto de Ley Senatorial 1 ya fue aprobado por el Senado. Este proyecto de ley promulgará una Cuenta de Ahorros para la Educación (ESAs por sus siglas en inglés) para casi todas las familias de Texas, proporcionando $8,000 por estudiante para cubrir sus gastos educativos.

Yo testifiqué con orgullo en apoyo de la SB 1, pero aún queda trabajo por hacer en la Asamblea.

Como líder y madre hispana, sé que la libertad educativa es una necesidad imperiosa para el estado de Texas. Fue desalentador ver a el sindicato de maestros de Texas abogar en contra de darle a las familias necesitadas, la posibilidad de elegir la escuela que mejor funcione para sus hijos(as), pero eso no es nada nuevo.

Aprobar las opciones escolares en Texas requerirá valentía. Será necesario poner a los estudiantes en primer lugar y no a los intereses del sindicato de maestros, ya que están más preocupados por mantener su poder que por ayudar a los estudiantes o educadores. Yo sé esto de primera mano porque trabajé para un sindicato de maestros y dejé la organización después de darme cuenta de que en aquel entonces no estaban haciendo nada para ayudar a los estudiantes o a los educadores, y aún no lo están haciendo.

A pesar de la campaña con desinformación que está lanzado el sindicato, la necesidad de tener programas de opciones escolares es especialmente grave en Texas, ya que muchos estudiantes de color han sufrido las consecuencias de estar en un sistema de educación publico que no funciona y que les ha fallado por decadas. La

pandemia exacerbó aún más los problemas e hizo que la educación de los estudiantes sufriera aún más.

Según los puntajes más recientes de la Evaluación Nacional del Progreso Educativo (NAEP por sus siglas en inglés), el Estado de la Estrella Solitaria tiene serias brechas de rendimiento. Los estudiantes afroamericanos e hispanos de cuarto grado están casi dos años por detrás de sus compañeros blancos en lectura y matemáticas.

Cuando las familias pueden elegir la mejor escuela para sus hijos(as), los estudiantes prosperan. De hecho, hace apenas unas semanas, mientras visitaba River City Christian School — una escuela privada de San Antonio que atiende a un alto porcentaje de niños(as) latinos con discapacidades — conocí a una madre que me dijo que tenía que tener dos trabajos para poder pagar por la colegiatura, pero que ha sido la mejor decisión que ha tomado para su hijo. La escuela anterior de este estudiante había dicho que el niño no podía aprender, sin embargo, ahora su hijo está aprendiendo y prosperando en esta nueva escuela.

Historias como esta no son lo único que demuestran que las opciones escolares funcionan. La Florida, un líder desde hace mucho tiempo de las opciones escolares, ha prosperado y recientemente pasó del puesto número 43 en la clasificación de educación, a estar ahora en el puesto número 1, según U.S. News & World Report.

Lo académico no es la única razón por la que los padres buscan opciones escolares. Quieren que sus hijos(as) se sientan seguros en la escuela, quieren apoyo adicional, aulas menos superpobladas, actividades extracurriculares, valores compartidos y un escape del acoso escolar.

Los ricos ya tienen opciones escolares porque tienen el dinero para pagarlo, pero a menudo los estudiantes de bajos ingresos carecen de las mismas opciones.

Desafortunadamente, deben soportar un sistema de escuelas de bajo rendimiento persistentemente

impuestas por códigos postales.

Cómo chilena-estadounidense de primera generación, entiendo la lucha de mi comunidad porque yo enfrenté los mismos desafíos mientras crecía. Yo era hija de una madre soltera pobre que no sabía leer. Necesitaba apoyo extra porque no lo tenía en casa, pero nunca lo recibí. Recuerdo que crecí sintiéndome como un fracaso: me pasaban de grado en grado, pero en realidad no aprendía como debería haberlo hecho. Perdí la confianza en mí misma.

Y aunque mi madre quería algo mejor para mí, no teníamos los medios económicos para pagar otra escuela. Vine a los Estados Unidos en busca de oportunidades

y, después de mucho trabajo duro, perseveré y pronto me graduaré con un doctorado en Asuntos Públicos.

Para mi sorpresa, descubrí que historias como la mía no son poco frecuentes en esta nación. Por eso trabajo a diario, para que la próxima generación tenga más oportunidades que yo. Abogo por las familias que esperan escapar de la pobreza dando a sus hijos(as) acceso a una educación de calidad.

Pero para que los Estados Unidos ofrezca esperanza y oportunidades de éxito, debemos arreglar el sistema educativo K-12.

Por lo tanto, ahora es el momento de tomar liderazgo en Texas. Ahora es el momento de

controlar los intereses y trabajar con el Gobernador Abbott para tomar medidas audaces y unirse a la revolución educativa que azota a los Estados Unidos. Es hora de responder a los padres y madres de familias que exigen libertad educativa y poner el sueño americano al alcance de todos los tejanos.

2023 Honda HR-V A Stylish and Practical Subcompact SUV

The 2023 Honda HR-V is a subcompact SUV that offers the perfect balance of style, practicality, and value. It's perfect for city dwellers who need a car that's easy to park and maneuver, but it's also spacious enough to accommodate passengers and cargo for longer trips. The HR-V's interior is designed to be both stylish and functional. The dashboard is well laid out and easy to navigate, and the materials used throughout the cabin are high-quality. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and there's plenty of legroom and headroom for even taller passengers. I have a 6 foot 6-inch son-in-law and he was very comfortable in both the back and front seating, and that says a lot. The HR-V's cargo space is also impressive, especially for a subcompact SUV. With the rear

seats up, you'll have 24.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold down the rear seats, and that number jumps to 55.3 cubic feet. That is a lot of boots, school supplies, and groceries. The 2023 HR-V features a sleek and modern exterior design. The front of the car is dominated by a large grille and sharp headlights. The HR-V also has a prominent shoulder line and muscular wheel arches. The rear of the car is highlighted by a wraparound taillight design. Honestly, I have always liked the “style” of the Honda products, clean, welldesigned, and good-looking. The HR-V is available in a variety of exterior colors, including Lunar Silver Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Aegean Blue Metallic, Radian Red Metallic, Crimson Pearl, and Meteorite Gray Metallic. I loved the Pearl White, looks

classy and expensive.

The 2023 HR-V comes standard with a variety of safety features, including the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance technologies, including automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Add to that Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Anti-lock Braking System Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Daytime Running Lights, Automatic High Beams, Side Curtain Airbag System, and Driver and Front Passenger Airbags… what else would you want in safety features? This little beauty is powered by a 2.0-liter fourcylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (that really helps the HR-V get up and go when you hit the pedal! The HR-V is available in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The FWD HR-V gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city/34 mpg highway/30 mpg combined.

The AWD HR-V gets an EPAestimated 27 mpg city/32 mpg highway/29 mpg combined. With the price of gas lately those are nice numbers. The 2023 HR-V is available in three trim levels: LX, Sport, and EX-L. The LX trim is the base model and comes standard with features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Honda Sensing. The Sport trim adds features such as a blackedout grille, 18-inch alloy wheels,

and a fog light. The EX-L trim is the top-of-the-line model and adds features such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and a sunroof. These little compact SUV’s are really packed with extras. The 2023 HR-V has a starting MSRP of $23,650 for the LX trim. The Sport trim starts at $24,890, and the EX-L trim starts at $27,450. Honestly,

you are going to get lots of bang for your buck! The 2023 Honda HR-V is a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish, practical, and fuel-efficient subcompact SUV. It offers a spacious interior, a variety of safety features, and a comfortable ride. The HR-V is also very well-priced, go and check them out you are going to be impressed.
