Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Acceleration when in ECO mode is inadequate for highway driving. Hard to merge into highway traffic or keep a speed on hills, etc. Not sure it really improves fuel economy either."
Christopher D., FL (2013 Honda CR-V)"Mileage is good Reliability is excellent Handling is excellent Acceleration is good"
Anonymous, MA (2013 Honda CR-V)"We leave it in Economy mode and acceleration is quite sufficient in suburban driving. The CRV handles quite well, with a smooth ride and a tight turning radius."
Anonymous, VA (2013 Honda CR-V)"accelerates very well (on ramps) and does well in ice and snow conditions"
Anonymous, MD (2013 Honda CR-V)"Very good acceleration, comfortable at cruising speed, great turning radius, just a great overall vehicle for the family."

Michael S., NJ (2013 Honda CR-V)"This CRV handles drives and accelerates very well."
Anthony M., NY (2013 Honda CR-V)"Previously I had driven an extended "mini-van" for about 17 yrs. It used a lot of gas, took up a lot of space in parking lots and generally was a bit clumsy in handling. The CRV was 17 yrs more advanced, is very "peppy" and the handling is much easier and more precise. As advertised, it is fun to drive."

Lynda H., WA (2013 Honda CR-V)"There is a periodic "dead" spot in acceleration at low speed. Has been there since new, dealer says all is normal. I consider it a safety issue, but at low speed it doesn't seem critical. But it feels like the car is stalling before the system "engages" and acceleration resumes. Troubling."

Anonymous, MO (2013 Honda CR-V)"Most of my travel is on either 4-lane highway or rural roads. On the highway acceleration for passing is excellent, steering quite precise, all-wheel drive essential in winter conditions and that is particularly effective in stormy times. This is the first automatic transmission vehicle I have driven I'm many years (and would still prefer a standard but no longer available in North American models of this car) and have been mostly pleased with the change."

Paul F., NC (2013 Honda CR-V)"somewhat underpowered"
Anonymous, NJ (2013 Honda CR-V)"Accelleration is good, particularly for a 4 cylinder. Handling is OK, due mostly to wheel and tires on the car. Acura RDX (A largely similar model) handles better, by having lower profile tires and larger wheels. On balance it is about typical for an SUV, and is secure - particularly in bad weather"
Daniel-Irene S., VA (2013 Honda CR-V)"The only bad thing about handling concerns the OKLAHOMA WIND while on the Interstate sometimes. It’s a high profile buggy."

Liz D., TN (2013 Honda CR-V)"Overall the ride is smooth but the acceleration around 30-40 mph makes the engine have a slight tremor when trying to shift gears. Compared to my 2002 CR-V, the engine feels weaker. Still, it’s a quiet ride."

Anonymous, TX (2013 Honda CR-V)"Economy mode does improve gas mileage and works fine when using the cruise control in flat terrain. However, using this in even small hills causes the speed to drop too low (almost 5 mph) below the set speed before it will downshift and catch back up.
