Honda CR-V

"Lame driving dynamics. You need to bury the foot in the floor to get any sort of power. The revs build, the noise goes up but the speedometer doesn't budge. The lean is terrible. The MPG at 70 mph is terrible. The vehicle seems to be happy only at 45 mph and not above or below it. The seats are terrible and I get a back-ache every time I drive it."

"It's a big sluggish."

"lackluster performance, terrible passing gear"

"Very adequate power and comfortable ride."

"The Honda CR-V handles like a small car but offers good road visibility."

"Adequate acceleration. Safe handling. Not a performance vehicle. Excellent for what it is intended to be"

"Handling is fine but the acceleration is near dangerous merging into heavy, high speed traffic."

"For a little car the handling is great and acceleration is good."

"this vehicles handles and accelerates well"

"Good reliable car to drive... Too many on road... Boring to drive... Acceleration and handling are OK..."

"Grips the road very well."

"Stability in snow and inclement weather."

"drives great, has very good handling"

"For an SUV, decent handling (a Honda hallmark) but a little underpowered for today,s driving environment."

"The 2011 CR-V has the worst acceleration and fuel economy of any vehicle we've owned in at least ten years."

"handles ok for a 4 cycle"

"Cr-V handles very well and the acceleration is top notch."

"Handling is excellent with quick acceleration. Dashboard features easy to read. Seats comfortable and rear window has good view. I sit high enough for good outside views."

"I wish it had a little more initial acceleration"

"Reasonably peppy for a Civic-based car. I just wish the gas mileage were better."

"Very slow accelerator pedal response (1 second lag in any noticeable torque appearing) is dangerous because I find myself mashing the accelerator pedal earlier and earlier to compensate for slow response when making a turn into cross-traffic from a stopped position. Accelerator pedal reaponse severely lags despite good power at higher RPMs."

"handles very well"

"Underpowered. Poor acceleration."

"It has great handling, but terrible road noise (at least on the highway)!"

"The acceleration is poor when merging onto interstate highways."

"Acceleration/handling are satisfactotory"

"Excruciatingly slow acceleration. Especially when on a highway ramp with a full car. Very slow. Steering is loose but works well. Brakes seem too small and weak also."

"Generally this is quite satisfactory although it would be more interesting to drive if the handling was sharper such as that of the Mazda version of this vehicle"

"Acceleration is sluggish for passing."

"bought this car for that reason - burst acelleration when needed - entering a freeway, etc. Handing great, turns on a dime."

"From the time this vehicle was new, acceleration has been somewhat sluggish. We occasionally use high-test gasoline and it *might* help with the acceleration issue a little bit."

"Sure footed."

"4 cylinder is sufficient for the highway. typical small crossover handling. I would buy again"

"The acceleration is good and breaking system quite accurate."

"Acceleration could be better. Entering onto the highway can be tricky. I have to proceed with extreme caution due to the poor exceleration."

"Handling and acceleration are outstanding (better than many sedans I have driven)"

"Good long distance driving vehicle."

"Traction control in slippery weather conditions"

"The acceleration is good and the handling is excellent"

"The car handles really well and is very comfortable on long drives."

"Underpowered at cruising speed with a/c on."

"underpowered esp. with a/c on"

"Somewhat noisy in cabin"

"I have driven my 2002 for 16 yrs. The 2011 is much more powerful, but my 2002 had only a 2.4 L engine. The 2011 engine is larger. I drive in FL, but also in the Pocono mountains, so my gas mileage and driving experience vary quite a bit. Now I plan to use my 2011 in PA and keep my 2002 in FL. The 2011 has better acceleration and a traction control feature that feels more secure on curvy mountainous roads."

"Drives good but very slow on acceleration"

"The transmission doesn't downshift to accelerate fast enough when using the A/C. 10 to 20 more horsepower would help. However, I view this as a somewhat minor inconvenience."

"just average in both areas"

"The handling is fine for a family car, but I wish it accelerated a bit more quickly. On parkways around here one has to go from a complete stop to highway speed in a very short time."

"The CR-V does not have very good pick-up."

"The "ride" is somewhat rough and the road noise is rather high and distracting."

"rapid acceleration is somewhat sluggish but evens out as you go"

"See prior answer"

"Great acceleration and handling."

"nice"

"very good"

"This. CRV has been the most dependable and reliable car I have ever owned. After over 120000 miles I have had no equipment failures of any kind. It continues to ride and handle like a new car."

"It drives well but is unpredictable as to how much engine noise there is. Sometimes it’s quiet but other timess there’s a lot of clanking from engine."

"doesn't have enough pick up when accelarating"

"Lazy acceleration, rolls in even moderate turns. Although all-wheel drive, we hesitate to use it on snowy roads."

"Handles like a garbage truck. accelerates just as poorly"

"engine power & acceleration not impressive. honda has not done much to improve same"

"The crv on a whole handles very well cornering without pulling to any one side. Acceleration is very good.there is no hesitation I love Honda vehicles."

"The power level can be lacking at highway speeds above 65 where there are long grades, the engine struggles and downshifts with the engine revving. I get passed by semi's where the speed limit is 75. It handles well for a high profile, however the ride is harsh."

"I wish the acceleration was better, but understand it is a 4 cylinder engine. There is a small delay between pressing the accelerator and the car responding."

"Bumpy ride. Poor acceleration. Tinny sound."

"Accelerates well and handles well."

"With AC on, going up a hill, little acceleration power"

"Drives and handles fine... especially for around town driving... Underpowered and noisy on highway..."

"Should have bought a more powerful version. Sluggish on freeway especially when traveling with more than two passengers."

"This Car handles great. Very responsive steering and surprisingly great acceleration for a 4 cylinder."

"Good steering feel, corners without too much body lean, excellent brakes, adequate acceleration."

"I drive a little under the speed limit (2-3 mph), and I don't race between stop lights, but think my CR-V has more than average acceleration. I have also driven it in the mountains of Tn and NC on winding roads with local drivers pushing, and the handling was very good."

"The suspension is tuned to have better handling. However, this makes the car feel every bumps on the road surface. Since this isn't a sports car, the acceleration is acceptable."

"Acceleration needs improvement. Car struggles when air conditioning is on. Also I am on the 3rd car battery which seems excessive given the car is only 7 years old."

"over 100,000 and still going strong"

"This car is very quick and responsive - lots of fun to drive. The vehicle is very light though so in the winter I put on snow tires otherwise it slides around a lot."

"The 2011 CRV is the reason we bought the 2017 CRV. It accelerates well and is nice to drive. It has 129000 miles and has never required a repair, other than maintenance. Very reliable!"

"Engine is responsive with quick acceleration and I love how car handles."

"Does what advertised, but does get pushed around in strong wind. Not as steady as could be"

"easy smooth responsive steering"

"Adequate not outstanding"

"Vehicle is under powered and only has one engine available. Merging successfully on the freeway always requires the kindness of strangers."

"Sluggish acceleration at freeway entering. Concerned about the rollover warning."

"Handling and acceleration are great for a 4 cylinder!"

"Acceleration - fine; handles - fine; handles in snow - excellent, under proper acceleration never fishtails & just keeps tracking on!!"

"We have the base 4 cyl. engine and I think acceleration is somewhat poor, especially going up hills. The car sometimes has to work too much. Even so, gas mileage is not that great compared to my other car, a Subaru Forester."

"The Transmission is definitely tuned to get good fuel economy which it does quite well. This also hinders performance to the point of being dangerous at times. It is difficult to accelerate rapidly without manually shifting the transmission into a lower gear. I drive extensively in the mountains and to climb the steep roads that I drive on regularly, you must manually shift down into 1st gear both for descending and climbing. The only way the transmission will downshift on its own is if you"

"Poor acceleration. Handling is acceptable. Would have expected much better fuel efficiency."

"4 cylinder engine struggles with steep hills."

"The acceleration in passing another vehicle is great and the steering is smooth."

"Ride is a little rough on road with expansion joints"

"The acceleration occasionally hesitates."

"The 4 cylinder engine is not strong nor accelerates well enough. I would like a V-6 in it."

"Easy to maneuver; good turning radius well controlled steering at interstate speeds"

"I know the small engine helps get good gas mileage and most of the time the engine is fine. However, with a full load and climbing some hills or mountains the engine strains. Merging on the highway can be difficult if you are entering on a hill. I would have preferred a more powerful engine."

"It would be nice if had a few more horsepower but not at the expense of gas mileage. The transmission shifts flawlessly when accelerating but does not downshift soon enough when you are moving and have to accelerate."

"Not enough engine torque below 5,000 RPM's."

"Acceleration -- hesitation before kicking in. Overall handling is good"

"Acceleration lag at times...RPMs go to "3" before going back down to normal of "2" or "2.5". Found out from other owners on Honda CRV Forums that possible need for PGM-FI software update per Service Bulletin #10-077."

"The acceleration is poor at highway speeds or pulling out into traffic. When crossing a steap bridge I have to constantly depress the accelerator to barely maintain 60 mph. The ride is jumpy (we have checked tire pressure) and does not "hug the road". A tiring road trip to say the least."

"Automatic climate control is like non I have ever experienced before!"

"reliability"

"Slow off the start. Need plenty of lead time pulling into traffic."

"I do at least half of my driving on unpaved country roads, and the car has never landed in a ditch due to swerving because of animals, pot holes or cars coming over a hill on my side of the road. It is very stable."

"AWD is noisy. Could use better acceleration"

"The power/acceleration of this car is anemic yet we still get lower than advertised gas milage"

"good acceleration considering engine size, perfect all- around vehicle if you're not concerned about physical appeal. love it."

"Battery runs down in 4 days if not driven"

"wish it had a little more power and a better-shifting transmission"

"I've had one experience of unintended acceleration in February 2016 which had me a little scared. I've not had any problems since. Don't know if the problem was the fault of the car or operator as I was wearing snow boots at the time this happened."

"Car needs more powerful engine with better acceleration and better fuel economy. More gears in the transmission would also help, maybe a 6 speed."

"Acceleration is very slow on this vehicle in relation to other brands of the same year. Once it gets going, it drives well."

"Steering is unreliable. Incident in February, where steering wheel jerked right-left-right twice without any input from driver. No explanation from the dealer. Honda Canada refuses to answer."

"I like how it drives, it is very dependable. I like the interior. This is the best car I have had."

"CR-V drives OK, but I like our Accord better. Guess I would prefer ride/handling of a sedan over most SUVs. The CR-V has developed A LOT of noise over the past 4-5 months that makes it difficulty to carry on a conversation with people in the back seat. We have had it checked by dealership, an independent mechanic and tire shop. We have tried rotating tires again and adjusting the tire pressure. (It started after a regularly scheduled tire rotation.) No one seems to be able to significantly"

"The car has no pickup and struggles on hills, even with no extra cargo at all. I'm surprised at the low mpg, although in terms of mpg, my comparison car is my Toyota Corolla, so I am a little biased."

"Acceleration is weak. Fuel economy is just so so."

"Performance here is what you would expect only in a higher priced"

"Poor acceleration. Especially when on hills."

"Acceleration is quite good."

"The acceleration in this car is pretty awful. Sometimes if we use high test gasoline, it improves a little bit but not enough to use high test all the time. We are not at all happy with this vehicle especially because we normally keep our cars for years and we feel STUCK with this car."

"Very underpowered. Revs to high RPMs before changing gears. A/C really cuts down on power."

"Handling the CRV is great. Most or all V4s, however, don't offer me the needed quick acceleration on two lane highways. For safety's sake, I simply hold back until there is sufficient room to pass. V6s offer the necessary acceleration so that passing is quite possible and safe. ."

"Acceleration is slow to respond..a definite slow reaction."

"good"

"180 Horse Power is not enough. With the air on, stealing power, getting into traffic can be slow. I know Honda can build more push in this four banger without compromising efficiency."

"This vehicle is a little under powered, which is especially noticeable on steep hills and merging. It tends to raise the engine when accelerating in these conditions, as compared to my Toyota Camry"

"no acceleration whatsoever very little back seat room small cargo space with a useless shelf too many blind spots head rests that tilt forward to give you a neckache no vision at night when backing up"

"would like more acceleration"

"Not a quiet driving car! Poor seating for back and arm rests hard and poor arm height!"

"Drives very well in bad weather especially in slippery conditions."

"The CRV is under powered, especially in the hilly terrain where I live. Steering and handling are acceptable for this type of vehicle."

"Acceleration is ok not great, feels like it has a bit of hesitation"

"Does not have much pep when accelerating."

"slow to accelerate to pass cars, going uphill"

"It has excellent acceleration, is one of the smoothest rides for it's size you can find on the market today, and handles solidly."

"Good acceleration."

"Good acceleration and smooth drivetrain with 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Solid handling, steering and firm braking. Nice tight turning circle."

"The CRV handles very well. The acceleration is satisfactory but doesn't compare to our other Honda with a V6."

"Acceleration is sluggish..bit more horsepower would help especially when using the air conditioning."

"Handling is OK for a small SUV. Car is very noisy and needs more power. Seats are OK as well."

"Road noise is loud inside the cabin."

"The front seat is very comfortable, wish that the seat on the SE model could be raised about another inch otherwise perfect."

"Road noise level needs improvement"

"Ride is very uncomfortable . I feel every bump in the road. Car sways and ride is very bumpy. Expected a. Enter more comfortable ride from a Honda vehicle"

"I test drove five different compact SUV and the CR-V was the clear standout in terms of seating - extremely comfortable as well as a good driving position. It is a little noisier than I would like, but having some music to listen to helps to drown out the noise."

"Not a smooth ride Very noisy"

"limited front-seat legroom for tall driver or passenger."

"Seats are small. It has a cramped feeling."

"Great comfort in the front seats; however the back seats are harder."

"The CRV has the worst front seats. They are the most uncomfortable seats I have ever owned. One hour is the max you can be even reasonably comfortable and after that it is an ordeal to drive this vehicle."

"Bought the car to climb snowy hills to my house in the winter. It has been excellent for that. It is still a reasonable comfortable car."

"ride not smooth"

"Good solid vehicle, just allows a little too much road noise."

"While the seats and ride are adequate, the noise level , although not discomforting, might have been improved with added insulation. I'm surprised that Honda quality control did not address this ."

"Drivers seat is very comfortable. Road noise could be less."

"Leather seats are hard and after an hour's drive are uncomfortable. I have to use a memory foam cushion on seat to be somewhat comfortable."

"Basic seats with minimal support"

"It has always been loud"

"Very comfortable with the heated leather seats. Smooth ride."

"I find tht the road noise is the only issue with my 2011 CRV. Other than that, it is a high quality dependable vehicle."

"Comfortable seats, including arm rests in front. The ride is comfortable and pretty tight for a buget car. The acceleration is great for a 4 cylinder."

"Rough ride. Lots of road noise."

"Seats, noise and ride are all satisfactory."

"ride is rough and front seats are not comfortable for any trips longer than 50 miles. I'd compare them to coach airline seats!"

"The ride is a bit noisy."

"Somewhat under powered for quick starts and steep inclines. Handles well but not quiet on some surfaces."

"Smooth ride"

"Very noisy on highway,Sears could be more comfortable"

"use a cushion as seat is not quite cushiony enough; noise is moderate--would like a bit quieter"

"Worst seats of any vehicle I have owned in 50 years."

"Poor back support for long drives."

"We live in Phoenix and it is difficult to get the air conditioning to reach the back seats."

"Still a little noisy inside. I love the front seats. They have good lumbar support. Are heated on seat bottom and back"

"Backseat is narrow and does not readily fit a child's car seat."

"plenty of legroom, comfortable ride"

"Very noisy"

"Seats could be softer"

"Excessive road noise. Difficult to hear audio/music while driving at freeway speeds. Even with new, quiet tires, road noise is still a nuisance to me."

"Middle console is useless. Poor positioning. Hard to use."

"Wear and tear on drivers seat starting to show. Car ride is very noisy."

"Very comfortable seats. Great visibility. Rides well, but is a little noisier than I would like."

"This is the car we take on most trips. The seats are comfortable in many positions, noise is very minimal and the ride very smooth."

"Easy to get in and out of the seat. Very comfortable seat with good adjustment ability."

"drivers seat can rise but I still need 2 cushions to see over the steering wheel."

"The leather 10 way adjustable seats are extremely comfortable on long trips. Even after a 10 hour trip my back does not ache."

"Front drivers seat very uncomfortable. On long trips I get a back ache. Also the seats are very hard."

"The seats are comfortable and the ride feels smooth. I really like the visibility I get because the SUV is taller than a typical car, and the seat elevates. The external and engine noise is not an issue."

"Seats are not very comfortable. Ride is a bit noise and the ride is stiff."

"Seats are comfortable thought the leather gets hot in the summer sun. My satisfaction on the noise level greatly improved after replacing the tires that came with the used car from the dealer"

"For longer trips, the seats could be much more comfortable."

"The seats are lumpy. Need to use a pillow if driving or as passenger for longer distances. Rough ride - feel most bumps on the road."

"Comfotable driver's seat with many adjusting controls. Driver's compartment too small for my 6'1" body. Road noise is louder than average."

"road noise"

"It is the most comfortable car that I have ever driven."

"EX costs very nearly the same as the EXL but does not have power seats. Car is VERY loud."

"There is a lot of road noise. The ride is as comfortable as to be expected in this price range, while still being able to feel the road. Vehicle handles curves very well. Seats are comfortable; however, the backseat fold-down can be very temperamental."

"good comfort, some wind noise"

"road noise is extreme"

"Outside is very serious and excessive. Probably insufficient insulation."

"Seats are very comfortable. Love the individual fold down armrests on the front seats. Very glad I splurged for leather. The car has a lot of road noise, but I still love it."

"seats are very comfortable, there is some noise from outside the car. The CR-V does not have very good pick-up."

"The ride is on the harsh side, dips and bumps can be jarring. It could be quieter at highway speeds."

"Good: doors open wide; front seats high enough to easily get in, easily get out; good insulation so car is not noisy; ride is fun, a little sporty but it keeps driver attentive."

"very smooth ride, seats are comfortable, not as quiet as I would like but quieter than my previous car"

"Has road noise"

"seats are hard , use cushion to make it bearable. cabin is noisy ride is stiff."

"The seats support my back and are comfortable. I can drive for a few hours without my back hurting."

"The seats are not the most comfortable, there is more road noise than my 1998 Mercedes E320, but it's an economy suv. I would expect nothing less. I believe we received massive value for our money."

"My only complaint with my CR-V is the road noise. I will pay more attention to this when purchasing my next vehicle."

"good on level ground- not so peppy on hills"

"Noise level bad"

"The cushions (seating) in the CR-V is VERY uncomfortable and hard. Difficult for long (or even short) journeys. Plus, the winter tires for this vehicle are limited (because of wheel size). We, regrettably, purchased very noisy winter-rated tires."

"Cramped. Car is built for small people."

"The seats and leg room are comfortable on short and long trips. The cabin is very noisy on the highway. We feel the road a lot."

"The noise is high, the seats are ordinary and the ride is adequate. CR-V is not a great SUV but it is a reasonably well built SUV."

"Seats are comfortable in fron, not quite as comfortable in the back. Ride is good but can be a bit bumpy on bad roads."

"Inadequate lumbar support especially on long drives."

"Seats comfort could be better on trips"

"Road noise"

"Ride is not as smooth as I would like. Seat cushion is starting to break down, but it is 7 years old."

"I have tan leather heated seats which are very comfortable. I rate this Very High."

"Seats are a bit rigid, good for short trips, but can be a bit uncomfortable while long roadtrips"

"Not enough leg room."

"Driver seat does not "get vertical", it is always less than 90 degrees. Had to buy a lower back rest to drive the car for long periods of time."

"Good performance of a 4 cylinder car. Road noise is noticeable."

"The seats are OK for up to a 4 hour drive after that you really need a break."

"Not enough acceleration power."

"Ride is noisy—on longer trips especially, my back feels uncomfortable— May be my age; Newer models probably are better."

"The sears, while comfortable are too short for my legs on long trips."

"Honda's seem to have louder cab noise"

"Loud road noise. More interior acoustical insulation req'd."

"The car is noisy, but the seats and ride are comfortable."

"The height of the CR-V is nice. Gives a good view of other cars/drivers and can make you feel less vulnerable on busy highways. The climate control system is pretty good and noise is minimal."

"Noise level is greater than other vehicles we have owned, but typical for other Hondas we've owned. Still, a disappointment."

"Interior noise level is too load. Does not control road noise very well."

"Roomy interior"

"Air from windows not asquiet as I would like."

"Comfortable and handles well in snow"

"Road noise is excessive."

"More road noise than I would like"

"Bouncy uncomfortable ride, and pretty noisy."

"Driver's seat needs better controls for height of the seat, and for adapting the headrest to fit a short-waisted driver whose head never fits the headrest properly."

"Noise is a bit trying on long drives. Drivers seat very comfortable...passenger’s seat somewhat less so but acceptable"

"Comfortable seats and ride but noise level very high especially at highway speeds."

"The only complaint I have with the 2011 CRV is interior road noise. It is a excellent vehicle in every other way."

"When we purchased the Subaru Outlook we realized how noisy the CRV was."

"Very comfortable."

"I feel the seats are uncomfortable for longer trips. Also, the cabin could be quieter in relation to outside noises"

"Very reliable vehicle... Nothing ever goes wrong... but the seats are only somewhat comfortable it is underpowered and noisy on the highway... ride is OK but noisy... really needs to be more soundproof for road noise..."

"The head rest pushes my head forward"

"Comfortable leather seats"

"Drivers seat is comfortable-passenger seats are uncomfortable. Seat belts lock you in place - need to unbuckle while in motion to reach knobs."

"The seating is very comfortable and the driver's area is roomy and comfortable. The car is noisy on the road; compared to my wife's Buick Encore, and it makes the ride experience less enjoyable"

"My CRV is noisy but the ride and general comfort of the vehicle is good."

"Car is nearly eight years old and driver's seat is no longer very cushy, but I put up with it because the rest of the car is fine"

"Smooth, quiet, easy to maneuver, cargo area, easy to enter & exit"

"hard riding and tire noise"

"The seats are hard leather and not comfortable after driving an hour (not something we realized after a 20 minute test drive and the 4 cyclinder is underpowered for pulling out on the highway or up a steap hill at 65."

"Even though there are many adjustments, I cannot get the seat to be comfortable as to height. Also, there is a lot of road noise inside the car and the power is slow to react on start-up at lights, etc."

"Too much road noise"

"I bought it because I'm short and the door posts did not obscure my view over my shoulder. big selling point is that I can reach the tailgate to close it. Seat height adjustment is good, but the air lift started to fail after four years."

"The seats , climate control are satisfactory. Ride is adequate. Tire noise is a bit loud but tolerable. At a speed between 45-50 mph the engine seems to produce a low resonance sound that upon inquiry at my local Honda dealership was considered a normal reaction to speed and gear ratio . Acceptable explanation and I can ,most of the time , live with it."

"The seat are most uncomfortable for long distance driving. Anything over an hour is terrible."

"seats are not comfortable on long trips. Had to buy a gel/memory foam cushion"

"Seats, and particularly lumbar support are not made for a small person. Back up mirror is a joke as in rain or sun cannot see anything and objects when can be seen are much closer than they look"

"The seats seemed ok until we bought a new luxury suv w/ heated and cooled leather seats."

"Too much road noise on highway... Need outside temperature display... Airbag recall was very inconvenient... We like everything else about the vehicle..."

"For a top style model, the seats are on the hard side. Also, there is significant road noise."

"not that comfortable and lowered gas mileage than stated at purchase."

"It is a somewhat harsh ride, noisy and doesn't soak up bumps very well."

"Road noise is high, even after replacing the tires."

"Too much tire noise. Grab handle is too inconvenient for a handicapped person to make use of."

"Great car for road trips. Very comfortable. Handling is not very tight, but Ok. One of best cars I have owned."

"Seats very comfortable, climate control great, cabin noise way too loud. Dealer attributed the noise to the size/shape of the cabin--other small SUV's much quieter(i.e., Mazda CX-5)"

"Rough ride with a lot of road noise."

"Seats too narrow"

"Good ride"

"Never had a single problem in 83000 miles with the CR-V until our recent drive from Ohio to Hilton Head Island in nearly 100 degree weather and the AC conked out. Excellent experience with Honda dealers in Statesville, NC (on a Sat. afternoon near closing time) and on Hilton Head. Problem fixed within two days and, thanks to extended dealers warranty, a nearly $1000 repair only cost us the $100 deductible cost. Vacation saved!"

"Very smooth and comfortable"

"The ride is bumpy and there is a lot of road noise. Once I replaced the stock tires with premium tires in 2014, both were much better."

"Noisy at highway speeds."

"Very nice ride for an SUV; heated leather seats are a nice option for those frigid winter days. My wife has indicated on numerous occasions that the seats are comfortable and not fatiguing on long trips."

"Air conditioner could be stronger in terms of cold air output. Also, while A/C is on, air temperature blows somewhat warmer under hard acceleration."

"Hard seats, rough ride"

"seats are thin and firm, lots of road noise"

"The seating is in a relatively upright position and the level is high compared to a sedan. It makes vehicle entry and exit easy and gives a good view of the road."

"The road noise and ride are the low points of this vehicle."

"too much road noise"

"The noise level is unacceptable."

"Back seat very hard."

"Noisy"

"Firm yet compliant ride, sure handling and nice tight turning circle for in town maneuvering. Noticeable road noise."

"ride is choppy, stiff"

"Not as noisy was they used to be but still noisy on the road."

"The seats are good, though the ride is a bit stiff and you feel every bump in the road. I wish it were a bit smoother."

"car not heavy enough/"

"the seat is difficult to adjust to get to the proper comfort position and the bucket is not wide enough I am an average size person and the side part where it comes up is constricting also the seat belt adjustment does not come down low enough it always cuts into my neck and I have it set as low as it will go and I am 5'6" average height"

"Its really noisy on the road and not a super smooth ride. It's difficult to talk on the phone while on the highway. Will shop around more next time and try to find a quieter smoother ride."

"The vehicle has quite a bit of road noise"

"Too noisy! Wife has difficulty using phone."

"storage space in the rer"

"Highway noise a little loud."

"confort"

"It actually rides like a car, not like a truck."

"Car handles well enough for a small SUV, and the ride is OK, but it is somewhat noisy, has a lot of cheap plastics inside, and the radio controls are not logical."

"I have fairly severe chronic back/leg pain . . . Seat support very important to me . . After 5 years, CRV seat support integrity as good as the day I bought the car . ."

"The challenge is mine rather than Honda. I've got very thin thighs that require support during longer drives. 'The driver's seat tilts but not quite enough for complete comfort. I add a wedged pillow for longer drives. This applies to most SUVs that I recently tried at a car show."

"Too much cabin noise. The ride is rough."

"road noise is excessive"

"We find that the arm rests in the front seat very comfortable from other cars we have had."

"The seats are not quite as comfortable on long trip as we expected. We have to use an extra pad"

"difficult to get in or out of vehicle without hitting your head."

"Not enough leg room for 6' male driver on driver side."

"My only complaints are:1 the rear seat passengers complain about seat comfort. Legroom is fine but the seats are not good. 2. in order to utilize my cell phone I use audio jack which is located at rear of console between seats. I prefer it be on the radio control face."

"There is a bit of road noise, which I heard has been improved in subsequent models. In general the car rides smoothly and handles nicely"

"The height of the seats are great for someone with back problems."

"For a drive that is longer than an hour, I start to feel some discomfort in my lower back. And this is common in most newer cars, but since I'm of a shorter stature, the headrests that are now tipped forward for safety really bother me, so much that I need to put the seat back at least one notch in order to be comfortable in my neck/head area."

"Seats are too hard and road noise is excessive"

"cab is noisey"

"Driver's seat has gotten hard (but not going to replace the car for that). Rides great, sometimes a bit noisy but oh well."

"Nice leather seats, climate control works well"

"great posture support multiple positions available"

"Excessive road noise Seats need more travel Upholstery looks stained when water drops hit !"

"Climate control works superbly. Seats very comfortable."

"Plenty of room, comfortable."

"Great driving position. Fold down armrests and 10 way power seats are great for long distance travels. Rear tire noise is a negative."

"The arm rest"

"Leather, automatic seats not particularly comfortable for longer drives. adjustments poor"

"Very good firm seats. Good Ac. Good ride."

"Seat has good height adjustment and steering wheel adjustment, both up and down as well as forward and back. Car is nice an quiet. Sounds nice and solid."

"The noise in the back seat is noticeable, thinking that the windows are down."

"I'm only 5 ft high but I do fine in this model. I have never had leather and I like it. There is a place for my purse! New model is awful. I bought older because it fit me better with windows and sight lines."

"Seats are bit uncomfortable. Would like better placement of arm rest on drivers door."

"Road noise. Replacing the original Bridgestone tires with Michelin tires helped."

"I test drove five compact SUV models in 2011. The CR-V was far and away, the most comfortable driving experience - it bested the Equinox, Forester, RAV-4 and Rogue as far as I was concerned."

"The drivers seat is very adjustable. I completed two long trips and I was very comfortable. The road noise bothers me at times. I love the climate control and the ride is okay for this size of car."

"Was not aware of the air conditioning issues with this car when bought used. Had the car a few years and air conditioning just failed. We've driven other model cars to over 200,000 miles, and have never had an air conditioner quit. We love the car, but are disappointed with the air conditioning issue, which has plagued Honda for many years, was not fixed in later models. The Honda CR-V is not a quiet ride, by any means. Road noise is very loud, even when tires are swapped out, but we can live w"

"Great to accomodate both passengers and small load hauling."

"I feel that Hondas are very reliable. I never worry about my car. I know that when I want to trade it in, it holds its value. It is easy to drive."

"I was led to believe that the mpg would be better. I've never gotten more than 20 highway and 17-18 city"

"For the Option of what the Honda C-RV SE offered it was less expensive than other models in it's class."

"low maintenance costs, very reliable"

"We purchased for kids to use as a 3rd car--got a great buy on it, no frills at all. It has been awesome for 7 years and 2 kids through HS who are now in college (and graduated). We would make the same purchase again in a heartbeat--have barely put any money into this other than oil changes and tires. Safe and perfect for what we need it for."

"The Honda holds its value very well compared to other cars."

"This has been a great car for the 7 years I have had it - no issues other than normal wear and tear (tires, wiper blades etc) - and it's fun to drive. It's quick and responsive."

"Zero problems with this vehicle. I follow recommended service intervals and have had no problems at all. Great value for the price."

"Don't bother with an extended warranty, you won't have any problems. The mpg is better than the sticker says. The ride is solid, but not harsh. I always feel safe in snowy weather. A really good automobile."

"Popular vehicle and a Honda, so price is more than it should be. Acceration is stained on uphills."

"Car has been very reliable and dependable."

"The CR-V is a fine, reliable, comfortable vehicle. It is also the most boring vehicle I've ever owned. The valuse for the monet is fine, but it's just no fun at all."

"Up till recently a very good value, but had to spend $1,700 on A/C and $700 on Struts around the 100,000 mile mark."

"Excellent value"

"We owned this car for over 7 years and we still get good mileage, reasonable maintenance costs and it is still a good ride and the space is great. We will drive it for another 50,000 miles, we hope. Well worth what we paid for it in 2011 after leasing it for 3 years."

"The car has required no more than routine maintenance It runs very well"

"paid much less that sticker"

"Reliable except too many recent recalls."

"This is a lot of car for the money. It is comfortable, safe and reliable."

"We have loved the car but the gas mileage is poor. Too much road noise. Tire wear is not great."

"The price was good. Honda always offers less features than other cars. It has been reliable and the 4 wheel drive is nice. Decent value. Short on features like better audio system, rear view cameras and automated safety features."

"Dollar for Dollar, one of the best car values out there. We will be buying our third CR-V soon"

"We need a vehicle that could be towed flat behind our RV. Honda Canada's written information permitted this without affecting warranty. It has been a very good tow vehicle for travelling with our RV."

"All is good with this vehicle except the 6 cd changer has jammed and won’t load or reject the cds"

"Seven years and have had very little repairs - air conditioning - rear wiper motor"

"Premature rear brake wear. I had to have the rear rotors turned long before the front."

"Purchased new. 2WD No problems at all since I purchased the CRV EX. Change regular oil at about every 3000 miles. CRV has never used a drop of oil-dip stick always indicates full. Air conditioning is okay, not spectacular. Sun roof is excellent- no leaks. Easy small SUV to drive, and okay cargo space."

"After a lot of homework, I think I got an excellent deal on this Honda."

"Good value for money spent, used as local run about"

"VERY reliable car. Best value at purchase time and have never regretted the choice"

"Excellent reliability."

"I think like all Hondas the quality is quite good. Very dependable and maintenance free. Also, good resale value."

"Car holds its value on the used car market."

"The price was too much for what I got."

"Very little storage capacity. Much difficulty putting a bicycle inside. Surprising for an SUV crossover."

"Well worth the price. Fit and finish is very good. This my first Honda and I am impressed with the smoothness of the power train and the drive ability. Handling is very good for a SUV. This is our choice for long trips."

"I bought this car slightly used so I got several thousand dollars off the new car price yet it looks and drives like a new one!"

"Good price"

"No mechanical issues and very reliable"

"This was priced the same as simile competitor models and we have had Hondas in the past and like their overall reliability."

"great value for the money car never broken"

"Vehicle was relatively expensive new and navigation system maps were out-of-date (by approximately 2year from what I can tell based on specific road changes that I can pinpoint on the calendar). Manufacturer wants to continually soak me for more money to purchase updated maps (with no guarantee of up to date accuracy). Insult to this flawed expensive navigation system is that the user interface is not particularly user friendly."

"It seems to hold its value over time. After five years still retains two-thirds of its initial value."

"You can spend a lot more money and not get the bang for your buck that you get here."

"I got the CR-V mainly for the type of driving in Omaha where the weather sees all four seasons and based my decision partly on the positive reviews it received in multiple forums."

"The CRV is well worth the cost of the vehicle. The CRV is very reliable and the price of the truck is not to expensive. The truck drives very smooth and has sufficient acceleration."

"I just turned 100,000 miles. This is the most reliable/dependable car I have owned. A battery, new tires and front brakes (at 90,000 miles) have been the only extra expenses other than regular maintenance. It has never failed me."

"very reliable"

"No major problems since purchase...just dependable transportation"

"Nice solid car, comfortable and reliable. marvelous service manuals available for DIY service. Really well priced parts and consumables."

"Nice looking car, not bulky looking"

"Boring."

"All good."

"Inside materials feel and look a bit cheap relative to the cost of the vehicle. Thin doors and panels contribute to a good deal of road noise penetrating into the cabin."

"good styling"

"Like the newer styling better"

"ease of vision with few dead spots, room in front and back seat areas, size of trunk/back area"

"It's older style."

"I don't like the black dashboard and carpets instead of past CR-Vs that have carpets and dashboard matching the seats. I also want more storage (like past CR-Vs)."

"I love how the black looks with the tan leather interior. It's why we chose that one!"

"I have the color I want and tan leather seating which is very comfortable."
