Honda CR-V

"mileage is my only complaint"

"do not get tired"

"Handles well, reliable, flexible interior configuration for hauling large items"

"The truck has a very nice, smooth, quiet ride with good steering responsiveness. My only knock is the lack of a 6 cylinder option and the 16 mpg fuel economy. Also, the lower body parts art\e a bit cheap looking and awkward."

"Bumpy ride-not smooth. Would like a longer wheel axle or better shocks"

"Vehicle is somewhat underpowered. This shows up especially on hills."

"Handling is a little sluggish -- consistent with any SUV. Acceleration is good."

"It lacks power and has to much road noise."

"Acceleration is a bit lacking."

"May be unfair to compare an SUV with a sedan for acceleration and handling. Also, I may have been more satisfied with a V6 engine, as in an Acura SUV. I really put the CR-V to the test driving it over mountains out west in Colorado and New Mexico. It just couldn't manage the steep grades. Torque wasn't there. Trade off was good handling in snow. Also, I wanted more agility, responded too sluggishly for me."

"It handles very well in rainy weather, and braking system is excellent- most people who drive this vehicle tell me the brakes are "touchy", I say their brakes are too soft. Steering is excellent and handles well in bad weather- I have not driven this vehicle in the snow/ice."

"Very satisfied"

"Our CR-V has provided me the most fun I've had with a car. It is so responsive and the breaks are so smooth. Amazing SUV - feels and handles like a Honda car!"

"Not good acceleration when trying to merge"

"Accelerates too slowly."

"Small engine certainly adequate for city driving but freeway ramps are a challenge. Steering and braking are super sensitive."

"Acceleration is poor."

"Good handling, reliable and dependable"

"Acceleration from start is adequate, could be better at passing speed but the car is very solid and maneuverable on the road."

"Another great quality Honda product but you don't buy the car for the excitement. It's very practical and gets you from point A to point B."

"Handling is great; sometimes acceleration is slow"

"Drives great but could have more acceleration."

"ROad noise"

"All wheel drive is a great feature in the rain and snow. Acceleration is good. Mileage improves dramatically during freeway driving to almost 20 mpg."

"It has great pickup on the freeway but I feel the handling is lose, even after the alignment has been adjusted."

"Acceleration is adequate, although the engine is noisy when urged to go. The transmission shifts smoothly. The car takes most pavement irregularities fairly well. I am impressed by the punishment the car will take. We drive it over 3,000 miles a year when it is very heavily loaded. It stands up to the load and still drives well."

"good acceleration and great stopping ability"

"best car i've ever owned for handling in the rain. does excellent job."

"Sluggish acceleration"

"I've taken this CRV from NJ to Florida, Colorado, Michigan, South Dakota and Wyoming. Driving the CRV is easy and you get a good feel of the road. All in all you can't ask for much more since all those trips I never had an issue."

"same comments as apply to RAV4"

"Steers very nicely. Tight steering, handles extremely well for a small SUV."

"Comfortable and easy to handle"

"See my comments about the 2003 Civic, they are pretty well similar."

"It's peppy, but for extended periods of acceleration, like getting up to speed entering a freeway, it feels a little underpowered,"

"It's adequate in these areas"

"Handling on black ice is surprisingly good. My extensive winter driving experience (living in Wyoming, traveling to Montana, and North Dakota), helps me appreciate predictability. Many, many all wheel drive, 4-wheel drives work well, but this one is the one least likely to disappoint the driver with an unpleasant surprise."

"The acceleration, cruising, and braking are not smooth and feel slightly dangerous. For example: Acceleration: when leaving a stop, the car is either very slow to accelerate or give it more gas and it takes off. Slowing when approaching slow or stopped traffic: If you remove your foot from the accelerator (and don't apply brakes), the car continues on at the same speed for nearly 1/4 mile. Even on a slight incline. There is no fuel/brake saving way to approach a stop. Brakes: not smooth. When applying the brakes, the car will slow, then suddenly slow down dramatically, (everyone lurches forward in the car) then resume a reasonable slowdown. Steering- seems to be overly sensitive. Easy to overcorrect."

"A lot of road noise."

"Good ride, slow acceleration . Pretty secure in snow driving"

"It does not accelerate very well."

"good response and acceleration"

"Great acceleration and confident maneuvering at high speed while down shifting when avoiding obstacles."

"It's not a sports car or even a "sporty" car but the acceleration doesn't fail even on mountain grades. The handling is good with responsive, accurate steering even in emergency situations. You may want more, but you don't really need it."

"good driving response"

"There is a fair amount of road noise while driving. Acceleration is good and handles quite well. I bought this car used and it has been a fabulous car."

"handles well under varied conditions. accelerates satisfactorily and safely entering freeway. Performs well on rural and back country roads."

"Despite being nearly ten years old it still accelerates drives much smoother than our other car which is 5 years newer"

"Handles well and accelerates very well in all road conditions."

"Handling is very responive Power is adequate for most situations."

"No problem accelerating and the car handles well in all kinds of weather."

"view out the rear not good"

"Right at warranty expiration the car started falling apart. Even with a major tune up, mileage has gone down. The engine is noisier, and acceleration is not as sensitive. Real disappointment. Even the ac compressor failed."

"not the greatest for acceleration but definitely not the worst"

"Car feels very firm and sturdy. Handling response is comfortable. Engine is very responsive. Nice car!"

"All wheel drive does well in snow"

"Overall very good car"

"It still has good pickup and handles great. I feel comfortable went getting on the interstates and accelerating to merge into the traffic lane."

"Realibity"

"Handle well, AWD works well when needed automatically."

"turning radius"

"Solid comfortable vehicle, great for long trips."

"Although it is a comfortable car, there is quite a bit of road noise."

"Road noise is louder than I would like."

"Seats on the 2009 CR-V are very comfortable. Climate control is excellent, but unfortunately, had to replace the AC compressor (under warranty, still waiting for Honda to reimburse me). Quiet on the highway. Comfort is not as outstanding as my 2016 Accord, but may be unfair to compare a sedan with an SUV."

"Lower back support is only fair. I use a lumbar support"

"Gotten compressor replaced as part of recall and AC has never worked properly since despite repeat visits to dealer for correction"

"Car is noisy and under powered. Overall we are very satisfied with the car"

"Bumpy ride-feel every bump in the road. The armrest had to be replaced because my "skin moisture or lotions" deteriated the surface. No other car I have ever had with leather seats have"

"Very uncomfortable ride. Especially in the passenger seat. We have had it back to Honda, tried different tires to no avail. In this area it is just badly designed."

"The ride is a bit noisy -- road noise, etc."

"Padding on the seats is improvable. Ride seems a little stiff for a small car."

"cloth interior becomes easily stained, dirty, etc. not as comfortable as leather."

"Very stiff ride. Interior road noise is excessive."

"We had a 2001 CRV before this one. The seats on the 2001 were much more comfortable than the seats on the 2009. Also the 2009 came with a 50 mile/50 MPH donut spare tire instead of a real tire and the 4 tires on the rims had to be replaced at 15500 miles."

"The leather seats in the CRV are not as comfortable as the fabric seats in the odyssey."

"Very noisy on the highway. Hard to see out the back"

"I feel the seats are not comfortable and I use a cushion at all times when driving."

"The driver seat level is easy for my wife to get into the car. Neither climbing up to get in or climbing up to get out."

"Very noisy when driving. When using I-pod it doesn't charge. No blutooth"

"A/c has problems in design not a well made car"

"The ride is rough with considerable amount of road noise."

"somewhat noisy - particularly at freeway speeds"

"I am a tall driver and this car has lots of front seat legroom. The seats are very comfortable for long trips"

"Very bad interior noise Bumpy Ride"

"Interior road noise is very annoying. The seats could also be improved. My spouse finds the leg support, especially inadequate."

"The vehicle is pretty comfortable but it is a bit noisy, but I knew that when I purchased it. Overall it hasn't been a huge problem"

"Some road noise. Fabric on seats stain easily."

"The road noise is a little more than I would like."

"Not a smooth ride and has a noisy undercarriage when taking bumps."

"Very noisy inside and rides poorly. The shelf in cargo compartment is very awkward to get on and off and the back seats are a pain to fold down."

"head rest are angled so that they are very uncomfortable and require some modification just to drive any distance. worst of any car we have driven."

"front seating is tight for a 6 foot tall man; ride noise is more than average for SUV; handles well; accelerates well."

"Both knees hit hard surfaces on both sides making the car extremely uncomfortable."

"My CRV is very reliable and drives well in bad weather."

"The seat deck could be a little deeper. Also, the air conditioner could cool a little better. There is a recall on the air bags because the plastic part shatters on impact."

"The CRV gets very good gas mileage but is a little tight for me (I am 6'04" tall so leg/knee room is right."

"Rough ride, much road noise. Seats are just a bit short in the actual seat... Cuts me off mid thigh, therefore does not support mid thigh to knee."

"It took me three times of going to Honda for them to fix the AC. First two times, they claimed there was no problem. Yet the AC kept blowing hot air."

"Too much noise front engine in vehicle. Disappointed ac compressor went out."

"The heated seat feature failed. The comfort of the ride is not very good."

"It is noisy on the road. It is not as comfrotable as we would like. We do not apprecoate the recall on the air bags."

"Seats are very uncomfortable and there is a lot of road noise."

"Drivers seat is comfortable and the upper and lower seat is adjustable but the passenger seat only reclines and adjust for leg room. The lower part of the seat is uncomfortable after a short time because there is no leg relief because it is not adjustable. ( does not lower the back of the lower seat to provide a more comfortable position"

"the seats become uncomfortable on long trips - driving more than 5 hours"

"The heat seats do not heat well, especially in the passenger side. The seats in the back are not very comfortable."

"Heated leather seats - very good for my back. This has been a great car. The air bag problem took too long for Honda to correct - but they have taken action which I hope will protect me. My Honda Fit airbags kept me alive with my last car."

"Very thin seats. Not very supportive. Uncomfortable especially on long drives."

"Interior noise is too high."

"Great car, dependable and easily maintained. Road noise is loud inside vehicle, however."

"Road noise is too high"

"The CRV is an extremely reliable vehicle."

"it still rides good being ten years old and still in good shape."

"Rear seats very uncomfortable on long drives. Front seats need more cushion but acceptable."

"Very comfortable car, and a great value."

"Fabric seats feel snug to my body."

"Seats are comfortable enough for driving long distances and there is plenty of room to have items handy during the trip. Ride is good and road noise is minimal - becomes 'white noise' after you are used to it."

"con: back seat moves. seats not comfortable pro: front seat seems closer to the door so elderly parent can slide in and out easier."

"The car has a relatively smooth ride for a cross-over/SUV, however, there's a lot of road noise."

"The car has lots of road noise. The seats aren't as comfortable as other cars of the same price point and trim level."

"Back seats are not comfortable"

"Noise level could be lower"

"back seat is incredibly comfortable. Lots of head and foot room. Front seats are quite comfortable as well."

"Comfortable and firm"

"Mileage"

"a little noisy and a little bumpy ride"

"Too much road noise"

"It is noisy at highway speeds."

"Moved from a 2004 Acura to 2009 Honda due to need for a towable car for motorhome. Definitely noticed a downgrade in comfort, sound system, navigation and noise. That being said, it is a great little car for towing and around town errands."

"The ride is stiff and tends to jossel passengers. Interior is noise is at times annoying"

"Impressive car overall with comfortable seats, excellent acceleration and reduced noise. Enjoyable car."

"CRV is noiser than a conventional automobile"

"For a long trip, the front seats are not very comfortable."

"could be quieter"

"Comfort of seats is fine. Road noise is more than I like and ride can be a little stiff/bumpy."

"Very comfortable seats, generally smooth ride; road noise a little loud"

"Fully adjustable driver's seat ...easy to adjust using buttons. Heating feature is great in winter or if your back is hurting. Ride is generally comfortable even on bumpy roads. Solid construction, no rattles."

"my only complaint is road noise"

"seats very comfort"

"There is a lot of road noise. The seats are not cushy. But the dependability outweighs all of that."

"Seats seem to be too small and uncomfortable. Armrests seem to be more suitable for a child versus an adult."

"The seats give the best support for my lumbar area. Noise canceling could be better"

"Ease of access. Getting in and out of the car. The seat height makes that easiest."

"seat are too narrow, and don't have the length to support legs during longer trips; leather covering of front seats have begun to come off frame, seat heaters stopped working after 4 or 5 years."

"Road noise -- very loud even on freshly paved roads"

"Noisy with road noise."

"noisy and bumpy ride"

"When driving on the freeway long distances the tire noise and outside noise is a little irritating after awhile. The seats are comfortable for the first two hours of long distance driving. After that I have to get out and walk around to get the kinks out of my legs and back."

"Not as quiet as it could be."

"I would like to be able to raise my seat a little higher that it goes."

"Reliable"

"The ride is very rough, poor suspension, and noisy. No quiet smooth ride in this vehicle."

"The seats are leather and quite comfortable.. Ride is smooth and well controlled."

"Ride is fairly rough and uncomfortable. Even on smooth roads/highways the ride is less than satisfying."

"The interior can be rather noisy."

"Arm rest leather is to thin and splitting . Silver Crome is peeling."

"It is now 10 years old and still looks good and handles good. The seats still look and feel good and the ride is good. Been a great investment for us."

"It is a small car, and understandably has pronounced road noise. It is also a rather stiff ride because it is a small car."

"Seats are very comfortable Ride is a bit too harsh for my wife's comfort."

"leather seats with the ex-l trim level are really comfortable and it is a very solid, quiet ride"

"Relatively quiet. Ride is very acceptable. There is very little noise generated while driving. Seats are very comfortable and adjustable to one's posture."

"The CR-V is very comfortable and feels secure. The ride is a bit noisy on the highway, but very smooth otherwise."

"The seats in the front are comfortable but the back seats are not. They sit up too high and are hard. The front heat seats are not warm enough."

"Road noise is very intrusive; it might be wind noise. It's a LOT les in my 1991 Toyota Camry!"

"the seat are very comfort, i don't any problems"

"Awful, awful road noise. It's tiring. Pun-intended. We have to talk loudly to compensate. Acceleration is poor. Great around town, but a dog on the highway..."

"Noisy on the road. Lacks pep going up hills. Seats are ok, but not too comfortable on long trips"

"Seats are comfortable and we enjoy the long rides. I only have two complaints about this car. One is the noise you hear inside the car and the other is the headlights are not bright enough for night driving."

"Seats"

"They are all annoying!"

"Had knee replacement and seating position and comfort are the best of any car that I have experienced."

"very comfortable and handling excellent"

"Seats are fairly comfortable though height adjustment is difficult. For the price of the car I would have liked electronic adjustments. Controls within easy reach for the driver. Noise a bit much though little or no wind noise. Ride is good, bumps are noticeable but smoothed."

"Reliability is great. Road and wind noise is almost intolerable."

"The road noise is very loud. I really hate that"

"Road noise is bad. Hard to hear radio"

"This vehicle is a limited edition and did not even come with auto headlights or a passenger powered seat."

"Holds resale value very well. Extremely reliable"

"Have spent almost no money on any type of repair."

"Dependable vehicle"

"my wife is very satisfied"

"good value"

"Air bags was a recall. No other problems."

"Went through dealer's website to make deal. Just showed up, signed paper, and drove off with new vehicle."

"It's a quiet and smooth ride and the CRV has never ever let me down."

"Too expensive"

"Reliable vehicle with good features at a reasonable price that looks, in my eyes, very stylish."

"Once again, love the reliability of this car!"

"The car was fine. Will never return to the dealer as had numerous problems and concerns regarding their service. gave me a price of $165. to replace cabin filter and son-in-law did it for under $10.00 in 8 minutes. Also tires they sold me were not good."

"High: Very comfortable and supportive seats (good lump-bar support) even without a lump-bar adjustment; relatively quick and good steering feel. Low: Not enough horse power; slow at take off; Very noisy cabin; Too bumpy ride, especially on course pavements.."

"We got it below book value because a Chevy dealer couldn't get rid of it. The truck has held its value and continues to be an excellent buy."

"Bought from the suburbs of a large city so the mileage was low compared to others found in our area and the pricing was more competative. Originally was going to get a Toyota Rv 4 but this was a much better ride and more interior room , especially at the shoulder."

"Bought with very good discount plus this was a "Cash-for-Clunkers" special purchase that could not be beaten. Also, my actual gas mileage is way above the EPA estimate - I do drive lots of highway and very little city but the actual number consistently exceeds EPA and CR figures (although it does drop a bit in winter to closer to those estimates)."

"Great car. Nice surprises included in the price of the car: accessories or functions."

"Seems well built. Noisy ride, would like more noise damping."

"This car has NEVER broken down. It has never needed a repair just replacement of worn parts - brakes. Even with the brakes, we got to 75000 before we needed to repair one set of brakes, and 92000 with the other. Mechanically and body wise, this is the best car we have ever owned."

"I bought from an original owner, with no accident history, who had all maintenance records (including original dealership sticker!) available & took impeccable care of the car. Also purchased for below Kelly Blue Book value!"

"Looks good. Nice car."

"The car is noisy. The AC isn't great, but is adequate. The Honda keys are falling apart."

"Great price when purchased new and continues to hold its blue book value. Vehicle drives today as well as it did when purchased new in 2009. Other than usual maintenance costs no other costs have been necessary."

"I am somewhat disappointed with the mileage we are getting. I expected more like 24 mpg."

"Very economical brand. Other than routine maintenance, we have only had a couple of low cost repairs to this vehicle in the last 135000 miles. We had a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol that had 160000 miles before we sold it."

"Very good car I had no problem at all with my 8 years old CR-V"

"great value for what we needed the vehicle for"

"Good value for the money, vehicle is still in good working condition, very little maintenance needed other than routine wear and tear (tires, battery, belts, etc.)"

"A great value."

"Love my Honda CR-V and prefer to drive it over a typical sedan and it feels so roomy and provides better view of the road.. The price on the vehicle was reasonable and included all the features we were looking for. There is plenty of room for passengers and cargo. We've had the vehicle for 8 years and have had no issues (other than airbag recalls). Annual expense has been pretty much oil changes/routine maintenance. Gas mileage isn't the greatest for city driving, but no worse than the sed..."

"A very well designed car. All wheel drive is a + here in New England. My wife loves it."

"The car has performed with very few problems over the last 8 years. Except for gas and filters have not spent any money on it. We have used the cargo area to haul items from the home stores, so have not needed to rent another vehicle. It gets okay gas mileage 24-28 mpg"

"Still in great shape at 70000 miles. I have a friend that wants to buy my vehicle whenever I get a new one."

"The CR-V has delivered all that we expected from it and performed well for over 8 years. And sometimes meeting expectations means good value, especially when your expectations are higher to start."

"Great value and good car, size and comfort. Very few problems except for airbag recall, which Honda was good to provide rental while repaired."

"No complaints. Very reliable, copious cargo space."

"Great car for the price. Feel very safe in my CRV."

"It has required only scheduled maintenance in the 8 years we've had it. Nothing has broken or worn out prematurely. As far as maintenance costs are concerned, I've never had a lower-cost car in the 35 years I've owned and driven cars."

"Versatile, comfortable, reliable"

"Have had the car for 11 years with minimum of problems. AC and a rust spot were fixed and paid for by Honda although issue occurred after the warranty expired. This is a very reliable car"

"Nice little SUV"

"Reliable"

"I am over all very pleased with the CR-V, but I feel that I paid a premium price for it. It is the most expensive car I have bought, but its quality and price are both high."

"In more than nine years of ownership, I've spent less than $1000 on repairs."

"I got what I was looking for -- great reliability, good gas mileage, good cargo carrying capacity, ability to use non-premium gasoline, at a good price. Styling is fine too."

"good winter traction"

"Love the car. Very comfortable especially on a long trip. The only thing they can improve on is a larger gas tank for greater range."

"Since purchasing the CRV in '09 I've referred to it as 'a little Swiss Army Knife' of a vehicle. Versatile, practical, and VERY reliable! The dog-of-an-engine and road noise are the only drawbacks..."

"very good product. this is my second CR-V. Happy with both."

"The CR-V has been a great vehicle and value for money. We bought the base model, and it does the basics well."

"Very reliable"

"It's mostly good at everything and very reliable for not a lot of money. As transportation this is arguably as much as anyone really needs."

"i did when Obama put the junk car for trade in i got $4.500 for my explorer 1992"

"I bought new, based on CR reviews, test drive and proximity of dealer. It was my first car from other than a 'big 3 auto maker'. I paid less for it than my previous car. I have minimal maintenance expenses."

"Reliable value"

"Very reliable, no fuss car that does everything I've needed it to do."

"a bit noisy and ride is not erdpecially smooth"

"Have had car for 9 years and no major expenses. Very reliable"

"very good value for money spent."

"We have owned our CRV for over 10 years and have had very few issues with it. It is very reliable and the perfect size for 2 people."

"Maintenance cost have been far better than any other vehicle I have owned."

"Many recalls. This vehicle had an extended warranty on piston rings, but the rings stuck 3 months after the extended warranty expired. Very disappointed."

"Ease of access. Getting in and out of the car. The seat height makes that easiest."

"Great value and reliable"

"Be sure you check/verify yourself when you have a lift installed inside for a power wheelchair. My Honda CR-V has a Bruno lift with an associated wheelchair. Believe me, when they installed the lift, the Bruno chair did not fit properly in the back area. The lift tech had to remove part of the right arm to enable the chair to fit inside & to allow chair to be removed. And even with the modification the wheelchair still rubbed along the opening of coming out or in. My wife was so upset with the install of the lift and the chair having to be dismantled she cried up a storm. When I asked the lift tech how is she to take apart the chair when she can just barely stand, especially if she must drive without me the tech said. "I don't know, that's your problem." Well. We called Bruno & they basically said the same thing as the lift tech; if you have to remove an arm or two, Bruno still considers that the powerchair fits. Needless to say haven't used the powerchair very much. We've used the manual chair mostly with putting it in the back & removing it of course by manually lifting it. I've been the only one to be able to do it. Nearly 4 to 5 yrs haven't used the powerchair. Too bad, too sad."

"very good dealer services at Grieco Honda in Johnston R.I."

"Reliability is good."

"Extremely reliable car with very little repair problems in all these years. It drives well, holds plenty of cargo and was just a great bargain - 9 years of satisfaction."

"Bought this thru "Clunkers for cash" plus got a significant season-end discount. The CRV just works for me - very good ride characteristics and handling, decent mileage, audio system is fine, and I can do almost all maintenance myself so costs are quite low. It has held up very well over all sorts of usage and I actually fit in the driver's seat - all a plus."

"Just paid 1% over dealer invoice price."

"Very good -reliable without too many mechanical problems over the years"

"Extremely dependable with no service other than schedulled needed."

"Rear seats do not fold down into floor ."

"Liked the design better than earlier models with spare tire on talilgate"

"poorly designed storage tray in front. no automatic seat positioning..clumbsy to set odometer for trips and clock adjustments. glove box is too small"

"only i have to be very car full on hidden spot"

"The size is compact but comfortable to get in and out. Storage in the back is good as well."

"The material used for the arm rest in the door and in the center is of poor quality and is falling apart on the drivers side."

"dependable, handling and good stile"

"The 2009 is nicely styled especially compared to newer versions of the car. There is a full back window for maximum visibility in this version compared to new versions."
