Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Accelerates very quickly. Sometimes on a hard fast turn, the car feels like it is going to step out to the outside."
RICH L., OH (2014 Honda CR-V)"Reliability"
MARC R., FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Econo-mode allows me to conserve fuel. When needed for terrain or faster city driving I can turn off econo-mode which provides faster acceleration."
Anonymous, TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"slow acceleration"
BUREN H., NC (2014 Honda CR-V)"It drives and steers well. The brakes seem a little wimpy, however."
Anonymous, IL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Handles well and does well in bad weather. Headlights are poor and do not provide enough light. High beams do not provide enough coverage for windy country roads."
Anonymous, NJ (2014 Honda CR-V)"I'm older. The rear view window is too small. Can't see."
Anonymous, CT (2014 Honda CR-V)"For a 4 cylinder it has great acceleration, handling is good."
Anonymous, TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"There is a button you can press to make the car more ecologically friendly (or economically, not really sure). It's to make you save on gas basically, but for a year and a half I had that button activated and always complained that my car had zero pick up. One day I turned it off, and suddenly my car had amazing power and pick up! I turn that button on and off depending on whether or not I'm climbing a hill or need to merge into traffic."
DAVID L., GA (2014 Honda CR-V)"This vehicle has a noticeable short hesitation when accelerating from a slow speed. It's is sometimes a bit scary when attempting to change lanes or pull out suddenly as this delay could easily cause an accident in a tight situation."
JOE S., GA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Lack of automated crash avoidance on these models is concern. Will be a factor in next purchase."
JOANNE G., NC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is too poor."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Somewhat disappointed in acceleration"
Anonymous, NJ (2014 Honda CR-V)"Poor acceleration - engine is too small. Handling seems to be acceptable for this type of vehicle."
Anonymous, CT (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is slower than I would like"
Anonymous, VA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Under powered. Transmission does not shift smoothly"
STEPHEN P., MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"Comfortable and reliable."
J L., CT (2014 Honda CR-V)"Incredible acceleration, given this vehicles size (Bulk) and weight, when the "Eco" mode is turned off. Also, I would not want to be without the AWD feature in this vehicle, especially so in the winter season."
THOMAS R., MB (2014 Honda CR-V)"Hugs the road easy to drive and maneuver backup camera extremely useful NO Sirius!! (DRATS!) No heated seats"
Anonymous, IA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Paint scratches very, very easily. I'm a guy. I have short fingernails but even with my short nails there are numerous scratches around the door handles from simply opening the doors. A slight contact with a bush produces a scratch in the paint. Regarding acceleration, it takes 5-6 seconds to get the engine to respond when stepping on the accelerator when attempting to pass a vehicle or merge on the interstate."
MICHAEL K., CT (2014 Honda CR-V)"4 cylinder engine doea not have the level of acceleration I desire"
Anonymous, SC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration on this car is so slow. Once it gets rolling, however, it is fine unless you drive up hills/mountains, forget using cruise control under these conditions. Guess to keep the MPG on the higher end?"
Anonymous, NY (2014 Honda CR-V)"Overall I'm delighted with how the car drives. The steering can be a little too quick during high-speed maneuvers that are unexpected. With the spritely engine and front wheel drive (I don't have AWD), it is easy to over-correct which can be alarming."
Anonymous, VA (2014 Honda CR-V)"The vehicle handles extremely well in all types of weather. We needed it for snow and it is perfect. It is the right size for our needs -- not too big, not too small. Sitting up higher than cars, makes it great for visibility & the back up camera is fantastic."
Anonymous, MI (2014 Honda CR-V)"I hit a deer and it destroyed the front end of the car; however, no one was hurt and the car was able to be repaired. The reinforced frame surrounding the engine and windshield did exactly what they were designed to do and we were not hurt as a result."
ROBERT H., MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"It feels underpowered"
Anonymous, IL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Extremely bad pickup at highway driving speeds"
RANDY M., TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is somewhat slow when pulling into traffic."
LEONARD B., FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Fully loaded car with suitcases and passengers, car had to downshift frequently going up hill especially noticeable with speed control on."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is adequate for this vehicle, and the ride, handling and overall feel of "in control" are excellent."
E C., PA (2014 Honda CR-V)"on a recent trip where there were a lot of hills to climb, I felt like there was a lack of power"
Anonymous, WI (2014 Honda CR-V)"The acceleration is a lot better that our old 1997 crv (almost anything would be, lol) - has a little bigger motor. The handling doesn't seem as responsive and I feel like I have to take the sharper curves at a lower speed than our old one."
Anonymous, NY (2014 Honda CR-V)"The ride is a little stiffer than I would prefer."
ROD B., NM (2014 Honda CR-V)"4 cyl power is OK for driving around town. Highway merging or passing acceleration is poor; a turbo would help."
Anonymous, IL (2014 Honda CR-V)"The base 4 cylinder has good acceleration. Handles well at high speeds with no feeling of jumpiness when making any quick moves on express way."
WILLIAM L., OH (2014 Honda CR-V)"Previous car was a 2007 Honda CR-V. We purchased the same model, same color this time. We are not happy with the acceleration. It is significantly less. Also the ergonomics of the seats and some of the storage compartments."
JAMES C., CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"overall expeience"
STEVE R., MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"It's only 4 cylinders so don't expect a huge acceleration but it does handle nicely. I do notice when I get up to speeds between 60-70 +/-5 mph, the steering wheel shakes. Not a violent shake but definitely noticeable. I've read from other owners who have brought their car in that Honda claims this is a characteristic of the vehicle. I don't plan on bringing my car in for this issue unless it gets worse. But I wish it didn't do this."
Anonymous, MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"ride, comfort, handling, acceleration, huge cargo area for a small SUV."
ROBERT T., MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"I do field service and tend to carry around 300 pounds of parts. with that said the acceleration of this car is GREAT!"
WILLIAM M., CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"The car lacks pick up for accessing highways and passing."
Anonymous, NC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Appreciate the ECO feature and good mileage but this car is NOT for long trips on FAST x-pressways with trucks and numerous vehicles changing lanes."
Anonymous, MI (2014 Honda CR-V)"quick throttle response and good excelleration"
LES C., TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"I love my CRV. The only thing I'd change is the acceleration which seems sluggish when I go to pass. The front seats should be beefed up to match the leather interior as they're not that comfortable on long drives."
LAURIE B., CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"On highway, it has room to perform better. Acceleration is questionable."
JANAK D., IL (2014 Honda CR-V)"poor acceleration"

RON A., FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"in economy mode the performance is slow, in economy mode the transmission does not want to downshift from 2nd to first when rolling a stop. It does shift harshly down to first when you accelerate from a rolling stop."
Anonymous, KY (2014 Honda CR-V)"perfect driving feel"
BILL C., KY (2014 Honda CR-V)"It handles very well both in town and on the freeway. Acceleration is surprisingly good. On winding mountain roads, it handles well, but it does not stay as flat for my taste."
Anonymous, CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Wish it offered a six cylinder engine. I would like more accelerating power. Car is a bit noisy(road noise)"
Anonymous, CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"The Honda drives very smoothly. The ECO function is on most of the time. Occasionally, when ascending steep hills, I turn off the ECO function. The ground clearance and all-wheel drive allow us to take the CRV up a short, steep driveway and up our hilly lawn to allow us to load and unload directly in the house. This saves us time and energy when we have a moderate to large load to take into or out of the house."
ROBERT C., PA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Very smooth and quiet"
Anonymous, BC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is good for a 4 cylinder. Handling in good. Does well in the occasional snow and ice of Middle Tennessee"
Anonymous, TN (2014 Honda CR-V)"Bad visibility, rear and sides; backing up is unsafe,and the back-up camera is not very helpful, especially in bad weather. Side view mirrors are not properly shielded from precipitation, and occlude clear view when you need them most."
PAUL Z., NJ (2014 Honda CR-V)"We travel in the mountains a fair amount and going uphill at altitude is problematic.....i.e. shifts a lot! Otherwise drives great."
ROBERT L., AZ (2014 Honda CR-V)"The CRV accelerates fairly well for a 4 cylinder, does not have what I consider adequate power to get away from a potential collision or accelerate into a gap in traffic. The handling of the vehicle seems at times to be at the edge of the envelope, especially in turns. It has more body roll than I like. In emergency evasion maneuvers (around a sudden object in the road) the feeling is as if the vehicle is about to go out of control."
WILLIAM W., FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Car is underpowered poor acceleration on highway"
Anonymous, MA (2014 Honda CR-V)"OK acceleration, just wish it was a little better"
DAVID B., IA (2014 Honda CR-V)"It drives and handles well. But, visibility is an issue. even with the back-up camera, it is not easy to see the back and sides of the vehicle while backing up. Also, the driver's seat has to be levered up pretty high to see over the hood, otherwise it seems shorter than it really is."
ESTHER C., UT (2014 Honda CR-V)"Sluggish and not good gas mileage."
WIN C., MN (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is not the best. In the few moments when I've had to accelerate quickly the lag in kicking into that gear takes too long and is somewhat jerky. Otherwise handles well on the road- whether in stop and stop traffic (the CA 405 freeway) or open road where gas mileage goes way up to 29-30 MPG"
Anonymous, CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Not a particularly good road car for long distance highway driving"

CHRIS S., PA (2014 Honda CR-V)"At around 10000 miles the CR-V got better gas mileage and had better acceleration which continues to day."
Anonymous, NY (2014 Honda CR-V)"Handles well on gravel ,muddy roads.acceleration is average."
W K., SK (2014 Honda CR-V)"Suspension is hard when going over rough roads. The driver side mirror blind spot mirror is the worst and most useless design I have run across. There is no division between the mirrors. The blind spot mirror is too small and very confusing. The fact that a driver must reach behind the steering wheel to adjust the dash light brightness is deadly. A dash mounted controller like on the Civic would be a much better design. Honda should have added side markers and turn signals that can be seen"
BRYAN T., ON (2014 Honda CR-V)"Little clunky, but I think this is an issue with all small cross-over SUVs. Less visibility than our Hyundai, requires a little more attention when driving because isn't as intuitive as the sedan."
ALAN J., WA (2014 Honda CR-V)"The vehicle is very responsive and easy when it oomes to accellerating and steering. Cruise control works efficiently and easy to start and cancel during highway driving."

Anonymous, MI (2014 Honda CR-V)"It suffers from road drift on highway speeds. Wind can have negative impact oh handling as well."
CAMERON S., MI (2014 Honda CR-V)"Handling and ride are good. Acceleration is decent. Overall great, but gas mileage isn't even close to what CU/Honda listed. Averaging 23-24 combined city/hwy... at best on a long open road drive from CA to Vegas, got 28 mph. Expected much better when I bought it."

M J., OH (2014 Honda CR-V)"This car is slow to accelerate."
Anonymous, UT (2014 Honda CR-V)"The handling is very quick and responsive--much more so than my previous Toyota Highlander. Small corrections make big changes--both good and bad. I drive in economy mode all the time, so my acceleration is not the best. On the other hand, in economy mode I can almost coast along on flat roads with hardly any pressure on the pedal--and still have the MPG gauge show mostly above 30 mpg. (The gauge isn't accurate, but it looks like I'm getting great mileage!)"

Anonymous, NJ (2014 Honda CR-V)"in a nutshell: good value for money easy maintenance; good gas mileage"
K N., AB (2014 Honda CR-V)"Good car, handles well in snow/ice. Gets good mileage and meets nearly all my needs. I just wish they’d have put a little more comfort in the seats. The seats are very basic; I bought the exl but the seats are not upgraded."
Anonymous, CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Good acceleration ( though better if not in economy mode), excellent handling."
Anonymous, RI (2014 Honda CR-V)"It has terrible acceleration even on cruise control. Plus I’ve had a rumble strip feeling. They changed my transmission fluid and it stoped for a few weeks. But it’s back. They said if it comes back the transmission will prohace to be done."
Carolyn W., TN (2014 Honda CR-V)"Initial acceleration from a stop has a lag, so pulling into a stream of traffic from a side street can be stressful."
Anonymous, WA (2014 Honda CR-V)"When I use 93 Octane fuel, the acceleration is good. When using lesser Octane fuels, the acceleration is less than optimal given that the vehicle is not a high performance vehicle by design."

John W., NC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Mileage is better than I expected. I have a problem with over steering. Dealer said could not adjust the sensitivity."
Anonymous, SC (2014 Honda CR-V)"Quick acceleration for only a 4-cyl engine!"
Kenneth G., MA (2014 Honda CR-V)"The crv isn't bad comfort wise and the back seat room is quite good. The main problem is acceleration. It's pretty much a gutless wonder. I've driven many 4 cylinder vehicles and this one is the worst. I decided to buy the crv because of the promised excellent gas mileage. I expected over 30 mpg but am getting only 26 or 27 and most of our driving is on highways. I drive quite conservatively and expect to be rewarded but am not. The crv is also quite noisy on the highway. there is no substantive feeling in the vehicle."
Gerald G., TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"It has a really great turning radius, great for navigating in parking lots. The aceleration is acceptable for a four cylinder vehicle."
Richard W., NJ (2014 Honda CR-V)"rides and handles perfectly"
Anonymous, KS (2014 Honda CR-V)"Excellent handling in the winter"
Anonymous, PA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is steady but not as quick to respond or as fast as I would prefer should I be in an emergency situation. The small windows just behind the second seat are difficult to see though when trying to check for traffic. Several times, I have not seen approaching cars from cross traffic when preparing to make a left turn because of the window design. The windows may look sleek but are not contributing to safety. They should be redesigned. I wish I was able to pop the hatchback door from the drivers seat! Other SUV's give me this ability. Rather, I have to get out of the car and manually open it. Inconvenient!"
Anonymous, CO (2014 Honda CR-V)"For such a small car, the acceleration is amazingly good, especially if you take off the fuel economy. The car handles well in the city as well as on long drives through mountainous terrain."

J C., CA (2014 Honda CR-V)"This vehicle has a lot of power for a small engine. It handles great in the city and on the highway. Taking evasive action is not a problem. Nimble and quick."
Terri B., NV (2014 Honda CR-V)"Very poor acceleration to get on highway. Have to push down very hard on gas to get the car going. Once it's up to speed, it's fine, but very scary trying to merge on interstate."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Honda CR-V)"Great gas mileage on the highway. Averaged 30-34 highway mpg on a 6700 mile trip last summer. The ECO feature that controls the engine output works as advertised."

Anonymous, PA (2014 Honda CR-V)"It has quick acceleration and power. It handles well and has good maneuverability for an SUV. The on dash screen is very helpful in backing up and parking."
Anonymous, VT (2014 Honda CR-V)"It is not possible to see the front edges of the car-- locating the front right corner is especially difficult due to the high hood and fenders. Appearance-wise, the CR-V is pleasant and the driving experience is good for turning radius and using the rear camera for backing up."
Philip V., NY (2014 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration very good even with four adults in vehicle. All wheel drive responds extremely well in wet and snowy weather. Quite impressed. This is my first all wheel drive car and I will not hesitate to purchase another one when the time comes!"
Mark S., VA (2014 Honda CR-V)"Excellent in snow. Firmer cornering, compared to other brands in same price range."
Anonymous, NY (2014 Honda CR-V)"I have driven this more miles in the 13 months I have had it than any other car in my nearly 40 years of owing vehicles. It has made two trips from Florida to North Carolina and back, love how easy it is to travel in and you would never know it has a 4 cylinder engine by its fabulous acceleration."

T M., TX (2014 Honda CR-V)"The steering is very good and corners nicely. However, if I hit a manhole lid or similar defect in the road, sometimes it feels like the rear end goes a little sideways. Acceleration is not so hot, especially on hills. It feels like it bogs down."

Ice= needs studded tires Negative= Battery is low on CCA (cold Cranking amps) cold weather car but battery is not. Should have more than 500 CCA for NW Winter conditions. Honda is cheap with Warranty on battery. (no help). Needed replacement in College Town, 10 degrees, failed battery, No Dealer for 3 hr drive. Replaced battery by auto parts store.

"it has an "ECON" button, which does help with gas mileage--I have to remember to turn that off when on the freeway to have more power to accelerate. If off the freeway, acceleration is quite adequate and ON freeway with ECON turned off, acceleration is quite powerful. The car is easy to steer & handle."
