What Owners Say
"The CRV is a great car in parking situations. Love the ease of acceleration and handling. Looks great too."
Karen H., WA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Handling is very good for a vehicle with its height."
Anonymous, PA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Accelerator pedal is very sensitive making a smooth start difficult. CVT drones at 40 mph"
Carmen R., NJ (2015 Honda CR-V)"Very nice handling and acceleration. Very good mileage"
Scott T., IN (2015 Honda CR-V)"Fun car to drive. Big enough to be useful but it is maneuverable"
Anonymous, WA (2015 Honda CR-V)"For a small SUV, the vehicle handles very well."
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Honda CR-V)"acceleration is good but rides stiff and can feel the bumps. Needed new brae rotors at 12,000 miles"
Anonymous, MI (2015 Honda CR-V)"Smooth acceleration with plenty of power."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Honda CR-V)"Smooth over bumps. Rattle free. Nimble steering feeling and solid acceleration."
E M., MI (2015 Honda CR-V)"acceleration very good and handles well -I don't now how it handles cutting in and out of traffic at excessive speeds"
Frank W., KS (2015 Honda CR-V)"OUR third CR V the 2015 has the best ride quality, and is the quietest."
James E., DE (2015 Honda CR-V)"Handling no remains good but my wife constantly notes she liked the handling and engine response of our 2006 so much more. Honda has yet to match that car with their new ones."
Jack N., MI (2015 Honda CR-V)"It is easy to drive on city streets or on interstates. It is responsive to driver commands."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Honda CR-V)"The CVT can be annoying in how it works. It's hard to get the car to accelerate the way I want."
Robert L., AL (2015 Honda CR-V)"The acceleration and handling are excellent in the CRV"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Honda CR-V)"Handles even better than the 2007 model"
Anonymous, BC (2015 Honda CR-V)"handles well, good pickup"
Timothy M., NY (2015 Honda CR-V)"Excellent acceleration and aceptable handling."
Anonymous, FL (2015 Honda CR-V)"CRV handling to responsive"
Anonymous, MA (2015 Honda CR-V)"The Honda Sensing features standard on the Touring package are tops. Wish the vehicle would stop when Crash Mitigation is activated instead of slowing down"
Anonymous, NC (2015 Honda CR-V)"Good gas mileage. Acceleration even in economy mode is good."
NANCY W., NY (2015 Honda CR-V)"I particularly liked the camera feature which allows me to see better when I am backing out of a parking space."
Anonymous, OH (2015 Honda CR-V)"Insturment panel easy to see. No problem seeing vehicle speed even for those whose vision has declned."
Anonymous, NC (2015 Honda CR-V)"I like the much better acceleration of the continuously variable transmission (CVT); it doesn't downshift and even on steep grades or hills it doesn't downshift."
CARL S., VA (2015 Honda CR-V)"I'm impressed with its power and gas mileage!"
RICHARD E., PA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Sometimes there seems to be no power to the drive train. It has mad driving hazardous when it happens, especially on the freeway or making a left hand turn."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Good - safety features, handling"
THOMAS S., ON (2015 Honda CR-V)"I would like a V-6 option with more power and acceleration"
ROY Z., SK (2015 Honda CR-V)"It doesn't like going up an even minor hill. The acceleration drops significantly."
ANNE R., TX (2015 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration and handling is quick."
JANET H., IA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is inconsistent. The CVT appears to be the problem. When cold, the CVT hunts for a good RPM. When warm, the CVT can go into an oscillation, causing rough acceleration and rough idle at traffic lights. Acceleration from low RPMs at almost any speed can cause the CVT to become rough."
BRIAN Q., CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"It feels and drives like a truck. The gps is confusing. There is no mirror under the trunk which makes it heavy to open and close. There is no left side alert for cars approaching."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"It steers so easily due to shorter wheel base. It's easy getting in & out of parking spaces and making U-turns."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"I use the "ECO" setting all the time which limits acceleration somewhat but not enough for me to switch it off."
MICHAEL S., FL (2015 Honda CR-V)"My CRV runs much better after a recall to change computer settings to correct vibration at 2000 rpm. However, there continues to be a problem with hesitation at low speeds. When slowing down to make a turn or in traffic there is a hesitation when acceleration. When I pump the gas peddle several times it picks up and goes on. This is the only problem that I have with this auto."
Anonymous, OH (2015 Honda CR-V)"The car is a bit bouncy compared to other cars I have driven. Its accelleration is excellent and its steering is excellent as well, you have a good feel and control of the road. Brakes are great. I found when I went to Michelin tires that the bounciness went away and handling firmed up immediately."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Honda CR-V)"Drive system vibrates going through 20-30 and 43-50 mph in traffic. It is a computer problem the dealer shop admits the manufacturer cannot solve. I think it is a gear ratio problem; the car goes into high gear too soon when the air conditioner is off. Go figure! I love the car but am concerned about wear and tear on the drive system over the years."
MEREDITH P., CT (2015 Honda CR-V)"The acceleration is fantastic. I can get up to freeway speed easily by the time I leave the ramp. It has been more than adequate for any driving situation I've encountered."
Anonymous, WA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Not sporty, but comfortable and secure."
RONALD K., NY (2015 Honda CR-V)"Very smooth on paved highways. Also competent and steady on dirt. Washboards affect it only marginally and it drives on dirt much better than other cars I have owned."
ANDREW N., OR (2015 Honda CR-V)"Serious blind spot on the passenger side. It is so bad I would not buy the car again. Otherwise it is a great car."
KATHLEEN F., CT (2015 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration is modest at best. The does handle well."
ROBERT T., MA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Great handling. Cruise control keeps me safe distance from car in front. Safety features are the most important part of this vehicle for me: automatically brakes if I get to close to car in front; beeping if I stray from lanes; saved me from accidents"
Anonymous, CO (2015 Honda CR-V)"It had the vibration issue that was getting worse over time but Honda fixes were applied and there is no longer any vibration"
BURTON C., DE (2015 Honda CR-V)"Is very quick and responsive."
ROBERT H., NM (2015 Honda CR-V)"The CVT is impressive in mountainous terrain. It is surprisingly-well controlled by the computer. It even invokes engine braking on steep descents. Amazing passing potential. Initially I was somewhat apprehensive about the CVT but now feel it was a good move by Honda."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Honda CR-V)"Front wheel driving leaves a lot to be desired for acceleration."
Anonymous, FL (2015 Honda CR-V)"vibration--has now been mostly fixed by Honda"
TERRY M., WI (2015 Honda CR-V)"In-town driving is a pleasure, with excellent handling and acceleration. Highway driving is very disappointing, with loud road noise and wandering, unstable oversteer."
LLOYD P., SC (2015 Honda CR-V)"It has a great acceleration uphill and passing other vehicles."
M L., CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Handling is great. Acceleration for entering freeway is not great. CVT xmsn reminds me of the old Dynaflow xmsn. A 6-speed Xmsn. would have made this much better vehicle."
ROY H., TX (2015 Honda CR-V)"The CVT transmission does a good job accelerating and shifting smoothly."
GRACE M., WA (2015 Honda CR-V)"slow acceleration going up hills sometimes"
Anonymous, AR (2015 Honda CR-V)"Very happy with cruise control and distance keeping system for highway driving. Much easier to drive on freeway trips. Also automatic braking is really good."
THOMAS M., CA (2015 Honda CR-V)"This car has lots of pick up! It can move when you need it to."
Anonymous, WV (2015 Honda CR-V)"This is our 3rd CRV. But we will not get another one. They have dropped in Quality, and have a real vibration problem. The dealers do not seem to be able to solve the problem. Getting worse. Bad enough that we have convinced family members and one friend not to get this vehicle."
Anonymous, WA (2015 Honda CR-V)"Acceleration, Ecoboost button to save gas, Easy to speed."
Anonymous, VA (2015 Honda CR-V)"I won't say acceleration but the new transmission that differs from my 2010 CRV; in the hills and downshifting on its own is very annoying"

JEFFREY E., PA (2015 Honda CR-V)"On a recent trip, we were driving on the Interstate in heavy rain following a tractor-trailer. As I changed lanes, I saw several orange safety cones in the road immediately in front of us. It required a very abrupt maneuver, and yet another to correct our path, to avoid an accident. I realized then just how well this vehicle handled in extreme emergency conditions."

You have to have your foot completely off both pedals before the car will go forward. If your foot is slightly touching both the car will slow down. Not so good when you are trying to jump into traffic and you start to slow down only to realize you are touching both pedals. I also have friends struggling with this issue."

Steve E., MT (2015 Honda CR-V)"My transmission doesn't engage right after starting the car. I took it in to Honda Cars of Katy and the Service Director told me that "Yeah, we know the CVT is a problem so you have to let it idle for 30 seconds and then it'll be alright." Not alright. Very frustrating"
