Honda CR-V Change Vehicle

"Smooth driving, imperceptible level of noise, and good handling."

"I have to say I really like the CRV overall. But a 185 HP 4cyl is way to little for this SUV. You can constantly feel it pulling to get up to speed. The RDX (sister with Acura) has a nice 265 HP V6 engine. They need to put that in the CRV. Acceleration is sluggish at best and handling is tepid."

"It handles well, not outstanding. Acceleration is adequate and passing and merging capabilities are good."

"good handling - good acceleration"

"Very nice car everything is good, this should be what Acura strives for in their lower devision. This CR-V is better than my loaded 2014 acura mdx,I plan on replacing the mdx with a different brand but will replace the CR-V with a new one."

"Acceleration is better than I expected (only with ECON mode off). Ride is somewhat stiff so road bumps are transmitted to the driver."

"It has plenty of acceleration and excellent gas mileage."

"Adequate for passing..has surge capacity when you need it"

"I love this car! It looks nice, has hydraulic lift for trunk, has a blind spot camera display as well as back up camera, drives very well, no complaints!"

"Honda has done an amazing job with the CVT. Our 2013 Accord had a CVT and this one may be better. It is smooth, accelerates strongly, especially for a four cylinder vehicle and gets great fuel economy."

"Handling and steering are very good. The engine provides adequate acceleration. The CVT is impressive and seems to be well matched with the engine."

"The CR-V is boring to drive."

"The acceleration is sluggish, especially compared to the Leaf."

"Excellent handling, braking, acceleration, and fuel economy. The cvt transmission is very good with 4 cylinders."

"the navigation system will not let us make changes while driving, even with 2 people in the vehicle. The drivers side mirror does not operate like the radar on older models. I have been told the newest models have that protection."

"The vehicle is fun to drive. It handles beautifully and acceleration is solid and confident. It feels totally reliable."

"Very impressed with the way the CRV drives and handles. We had a Chevy Malibu with a 4 cylinder engine prior to getting the CRV, the handling, and acceleration of the CRV are a significant improvement."

"A little underpowered"

"Driving is good. However, the cruise control is sluggish in adjusting to going up a hill. It will wait to engage and then shift down or accelerate to compensate. The cruise will not keep the car at the speed set when going down even small hills. This car is designed for city driving on flat terrain. Our other 2007 CRV has better versatility. Cruise is more effective on hills, though it also cannot hold back the vehicle and we often must use brake as the car gains speed going down hills. The"

"Smooth driving and easily handling of steering."

"The transmission is great. Very responsive and gives better mileage."

"The Touring version of the CR-V has the Honda Sensing pacakage, which includes the Lane Keeping Assist System and Adaptive Cruise control. I have found, even in the short time I have been driving it, that it is more than worth the extra money. The LKAS has already saved me from drifting into other cars or off the road, and the adaptive cruise control really helps on the highway. Additionally, I really like the higher driving position and view of the road that a SUV provides."

"The only option I got on this car is tinted windows. In spite of such a bare-bones model, I love the comfort, handling, fuel economy, back-up TV, folding down the back seats with push-button ease, wide field of view for the driver, side-passenger air bags, and more. Doesn't feel bare-bones at all."

"Love how it drives. Acceleration is smooth, controlled. Handles most curves very well. Like any SUV. All other handling very nice."

"CVT transmission very smooth. The car is a joy to drive. Engine/ Drivetrain very balanced and harmonized."

"Exceleration is great for a 4 cylinder. Good on gas and ease of steering very good."

"The CR-V is equipped with an economic driving mode, which my wife usually has (and was told to have) it on. In that mode, there is an annoying vibration and noise at low speed, normal around-town driving. It is basic transportation and all right, but disappointing."

"It has a smooth drive, but does't handle the road as well as our Honda Accord."

"Accelerates well for a 4 cylinder and handling feels very secure."

"Good turn radius; accelerates ok in the economy mode."

"The car is comfortable, has good acceleration and handling, is fairly quiet on the road, and has really excellent passenger and cargo space. The 2.4L engine performs very well and gets excellent gas mileage."

"This vehicle is so smooth, riding and driving. After my 2001 which I had for 16 years, I was ready for some comfort!!"

"Needs bigger gas tank and more power."

"Great driving vehicle but is noisy- outside noises."

"Very slow during initial acceleration, but at highway speeds it is entirely satisfactory. No problems with handling."

"Not really owned very long, but like it so far"

"Very comfortable ride. Engine is so quiet hard to it's running sometimes"

"I like the eco feature and the continuously variable transmission"

"lane deviation warning, lane keeping assistant system and adaptive cruise control have made driving a lot simpler from the safety point of view. collision mitigation system has already prevented a minor accident."

"The CRV rides rougher than previous model It's idle is harder and more noticeable"

"The acceleration has improved over the 2013 version, much quicker. Handling is excellent, quick, and responsive."

"Comfort"

"We find the CR-V to be an easy to drive car."

"The car has little acceleration and seems cheaply built. It is the worst of the five Honda's I have owned."

"handling is spongy and sometimes to the point of unsureness and fear of taking eyes off road. my 2009 had a better response in handling. feels lanky and unsure. took it back and was told nothing wrong with it. I don't believe it. I will take back after more mile are put on it."

"The Honda CRV does not have great acceleration but the handling around turns, road noise and comfort are better than any car I have owned. I love to drive it."

"Acceleration is not linear."

"Handling is excellent.Occasionally the acceleration can slightly hesitate."

"Poor acceleration"

"Very responsive acceleration; was not sure about the CVT transmission but it performs smoothly and accelerates very well. Handling and braking are also quite good."

"great acceleration for a 4 cylinder. good ride for small suv"

"I had been used to a V6 for power & acceleration & have been pleasantly surprised with this 4 cylinder. It has adequate power and acceleration."

"Smooth."

"Honda CRV's are the best small SUV's made."

"Great marriage between motor & transmission. Excellent power."

"The handling and acceleration is very smooth and precise. I've been driving it for almost 4 months now and it handles well on long trips and local driving to my satisfaction."

"It has a small engine, but doesn't hesitate when you need to accelerate--it goes. It has a little trouble going up steep roads, especially with the A/C on"

"Excellent acceleration and handling"

"I think it's a little underpowered."

"Very responsive and reasonable on pick up for size and weight.Seems to have good handling on on all road conditions."

"Quick"

"The handling is excellent. The increase in ride control is an improvement."

"car runs well,handling is still tight with 68k on the car~"

"Acceleration is good because the car is light weight. However, the car is unstable when lane changing at speeds over 55-60."

"acceleration"

"Acceleration is great for a 4 cylinder car. Handling, especially with the driver assist controls enabled, is a real pleasure."

"One of the great cars to drive and call your own. Gas mileage, acceleration, good looks, navigation, etc."

"Heated seats"

"Roomy, comfortable seating, nice ride"

"I wish there was more leg room. It's a little tight."

"Amazing all around vehicle with tonnes of cargo capacity.."

"Very comfortable seats that have a miriad of adjustments that make it easy for anyone to find a comfortable driving or riding position. I owned two Honda Pilots previous to the Highlander. The noise level ride quality of the Highlander is far superior to the two previous and present Pilot models."

"The seats are extremely comfortable and I can drive for 8+ hours without a problem."

"Seats a little hard. Brakes a little to sendative"

"Ride and the lack of road noise"

"Like heated seats. Would like to set temp more accurately and/or dual climate control. Very appreciative of back seat air vents."

"Road noise is intrusive but seems to become quieter at highway speeds."

"These are the most comfortable car seats I've ever had. they are leather and relatively flat - no deep V bucket!"

"seats are hard and uncomfortable less space in the back of the car too low to the ground would like manual transmission"

"Perfect package of comfort and layout"

"The interior of the vehicle is luxurious feeling. The seats are the most comfortable of any vehicle I've had. The controls are logically and comfortably placed. There is almost no road noise. The ride is quiet. The vehicle handles the road very nicely extremely smoothly. Very comfortable ride."

"We have been surprised at the level (high) of road noise that intrudes into the cabin. The sound quality from the audio system is pretty tinny and disappointing unless the volume is cranked well above safe (for long term hearing health) levels. I'm surprised that at the trim level I leased (next to the top, I think) I still have to use my personal garage opener clicker."

"Not as comfortable seats as the Honda Oddyssey-better than the older model CR-Vs though."

"The car is quiet, roomy and comfortable."

"Rock hard seats."

"Not enough leg room if you are about 6 feet and taller. Alittle noisy but don't know why, could be the carpet, a little on the cheap side."

"Wind noise on freeways"

"On occasion we get the smell of gasoline in the passenger cabin. This happens intermittently while the vehicle is moving. It's not exclusive to being in park."

"The seats are NOT very comfortable with this model CRV LX"

"The a/c vents cannot be completely closed. The BEST car a/c vents was on a PT cruiser. Would be nice if other manufacturers would copy the PT."

"more road noise than exped"

"I don't like the driver seat for trips over one hour. It gets uncomfortable."

"Seating front and rear are comfortable, with leg room. Ride and handling comfortable. Acceleration hesitates when accelerating quickly from stop or slow travel. The phone onboard phone system cannot be synched to Honda system (only certain carriers are synched)."

"Front seats aren't long enough to provide leg support on longer rides. Seat just isn't long enough"

"road noise ..hard seats needs more knee room...center consol shifter prevents knee from laying over and makes feel cramped"

"Seats are okay but the passenger seat does not have any adjustments other than forward and back and seat recline."

"The seats are comfortable, but no better than the current state of our 9 year old 2007 CR-V. The leg room is marginal for a tall person and back seat room when front seat is all the way back is not adequate except for a child or a very short person. The back seat leg room is ok if you do not adjust the front seats fully back. The ride is ok, but noisier than our 2007. Climate control is too complicated and the dash board requires one to look at the dash to adjust. Not a good idea in traffic."

"I like everything about the CR-V except acceleration."

"The neck restraint is horrible! It cause me severe neck pain and even difficulty turning my head. On longer drives this will continue even after I'm out of the car. I had to flip it around backwards so that I can drive. Also, the back support is horrible. I paid more money to get the adjustable lumbar support but i still need a pillow."

"Wish front legroom was slightly better"

"Noisier than I'd like on the highway- sound system quality is mediocre"

"I had a 2005 CRV and the road noise was prominent inside the vehicle. This 2016 is much quieter but not as quiet as the 2013 Accord I used to own."

"Not enough leg room in front seats."

"Several "surprises": next to highest trim level doesn't have built-in garage door opener; front seats offer little lateral support and become quite uncomfortable after about 30 minutes of driving; road noise is surprisingly intrusive at speeds above about 50 mph; should be able to unlock both front and rear doors on drivers side when grasping the front door handle (for convo eminence of stowing groceries and the like); "premium" audio system is surprisingly middling in sound quality;"

"Not enough thigh support on the passenger's seat."

"Great vehicle for younger adults. The back row is extremely uncomfortable for me,a mom in her 50'son, no complaints from college kids. The front seats are uncomfortable on long road trips for the parents, but not the kids. Has a noisier cabin on road trips than our equinox."

"hard seats"

"Road noise higher than expected"

"Noisy,rides rough"

"Wish it had less road noise"

"Being 71 years of age and with typical (i.e. arthritis, etc.) issues the ability to get in and out of the vehicle was paramount. Also, as I use my bluetooth extensively, the noise level was an important feature."

"Seats. There is a horizontal seatback seam that runs directly behind my shoulder blades. This feature annoys me, putting a bump in what I think should be flat surface. Perhaps the seat could have been designed with vertical delineation?"

"The car is very comfortable, seats well positioned and nice padding. Quiet ride for an suv."

"the controls are not intuitive .It is also noisy on the highway compared to my former lexus"

"Small gas tank requiring frequent fill ups."

"Very noisy: engine & road."

"the seats are at aposition to allow for great entry and exit. they are comfortable and good for older citizens.The car may be above average for road noise,but very acceptable for the price and type of vehicle it is."

"leg room in both front and back seats"

"We have found that the driver's compartment is too busy and too cramped feeling. It isn't serious, it just isn't comfortable."

"The placement of the seat controls on this model is prone to adjustments when getting in and out of the vehicle. I typically have to readjust my seat every time I drive because my leg touches the controls enough to change them. I would like them to address this on future models."

"Much more comfortable than the 2112 CRV I previously owned"

"seats are to hard."

"Would like to sit other over the steering wheel"

"Seats are very uncomfortable. Too hard on your rear."

"Hear engine noise on acceleration. Arm rest could be higher."

"Very comfortable. Quiet ride."

"Seats are more comfortable than our previous vehicle, a Nissan Altima. Car is noisy on the road"

"I think the seat should be a little larger, and the air conditioning a little cooler."

"Power seats with memory are very comfortable and handy for 2 drivers."

"Rear seats are not very comfortable; insufficient padding"

"Much more comfortable ride & better performance than the 2006 CRV I drove for 10 years."

"Don't care for seat material, or with lower lumbar support."

"In retrospect, I wish I had gotten the leather seats."

"I am 6ft and I wish there was a little more legroom"

"It is fun to drive but there is alot of road and wind noise"

"Seats are uncomfortable especially during extended driving. I had to buy an aftermarket seat cushion to alleviate back problems."

"The CR-V is a solid quiet ride. Doors are heavy and the handling is tight. Very comfortable."

"Very uncomfortable ride. A lot of vibration especially while in neutral. Excessive road noise."

"Seats are uncomfortable"

"The new design seats are more comfortable than the early models"

"Drivers seat way more comfortable than the 2015 RAV4 I traded-in. Appreciate the driver's window having auto UP, too, rather than just down. Also prefer the ergonomics of the layout. Don't care for the radio controls, however; they're tiny and nearly impossible to use when driving."

"all of these"

"Really good vehicle,"

"I can't get the seat to a comfortable position. My old 02 CRV had better seats (more sturdy) and they were manually operated. Sometimes more technology isn't necessarily better."

"Very comfortable seats.quiet car."

"Driver seat could be a bit bigger for tall people"

"Seats are narrow and the edges pinch in"

"THIS CAR HAS ADEQUATE LEGROOM IN FRONT & BACK FOR A SMALL SUV."

"The comfort is very good except for the positioning of the head rests. An improvement would be to have forward and back positioning options instead of just up and down. Also, even though it would be more expensive, having the passenger seat have the same power adjustment options as the driver's seat would be wonderful."

"Heated seats take away from comfort"

"get slight sick feeling driving the car"

"The dashboard is covered with a leather grained vinyl that was not cured before being installed. The result is an outgassing from the dash that coats the inside of the windshield and other windows. It's particularly annoying when driving into the sun or at night. I've noticed this in other recent Hondas as well.Don/t know what the fix is."

"Noise level a little high. Better than earlier models, but still somewhat noisy."

"I enjoy driving the car"

"Seats are not very comfortable, ride is a little stiff and there is some road noise."

"The bad is that the passenger seat is adjusted manually."

"very difficult to reach driver side seatbelt without putting drivers seat allway back"

"The car is roomy in front and back. Road noise is my only issue and I think that is related to the tires as I had the same tires on my Lexus RX and encountered the same issue. Climate control is simple to use and works well."

"Purchased after 2017, last year model, good price"

"Have driven Honda since 1986...its a quality built automobile brand."

"Bought this at model year end to replace a 2004 Honda Odyssey and received a great deal since new models were being released. Los of features and the vehicle appears to be of above average quality."

"Very good fuel economy for its size and acceleration. Good driving view. huge storage space and great value for the price."

"The audio system sounds very poor and again you are forced to buy "top-of-the line" to get the Honda sensing system to drive safely."

"Great value and very dependable."

"the fit and finish, gas mile, and performance are outstanding"

"Low priced entry vehicle with no bells and whistles is a bland driver. Adequate to travel from point A to B but little else."

"Aboslutly THE BEST DEAL and the best sale rep ever! See Steve Chaney at Honda Rancho Santa Margarita for the BEST DEAL IN THE SOUTH CA. Area! NO KIDDING!!!"

"This car has many nice features on it that I like such as power driver seat, heated seat. Dual climate controls. A lot of space for a smaller car. But there are some features I could live with out like the moon roof. And there are some that I would improve on (and in 2017 Honda did) the big issue is the information/entertainment controls with no buttons it is kind of a nightmare. Another issue is no blind spot warming system (before 2017) I do not care for the right lane camera that they use."

"We also looked at a Toyota RAV4 and a Suburu Forester. In our opinion the Honda CRV was a better value."

"Excellent value with many features that I like. Very comfortable and we love the heated seats."

"I think this is a good buy and seems to be serving us well. I handles very good especial in snow with the AWD. This is the first Honda I have owned and time will tell if it is as good as I think it will be. I don't kow if this is related to Honda corp., dealership, or some other related company but i have gotten a ton of calls trying to sell me an extended warrentee that I don't want. Maybe 30-40 and they say they are from different company. They calls come from many different states. If they do..."

"Performance with the cvt transmission is very good. Front seats initially feel hard, but eventually soften up. The EX trim handles very well."

"Expect high reliability, trouble-free ownership. Have owned 3 CR-Vs."

"For the price of the CRV EX L, I think Honda could have provided a powered tailgate. The hatchback door is heavy and requires two hands to close so you must have both hands free. Instead they put the powered tailgate feature on their touring model which was significantly priced higher."

"Good value for the price"

"Good value for the price. Reliable and good quality."

"An IIHS safety pick for ~20K with trade-in of 9 year old Honda CRV. Does everything I want."

"Good buy"

"Have had problems in getting warranty work on the CRV. Get a lot of reasons why things are the way they are, but have had little luck getting anything fixed."

"I purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V LX at full value and was not happy with it. It has nothing to write home about. It was pretty plain jane! After 6 months of use, I couldn't take it anymore so I went and purchased a 2016 Honda CR-V EX-L! What a difference. It had more of the bells and whistles that I was originally looking for in a Honda. The confort, ride, etc. were perfect. I'm a happy camper now!"

"For the amount paid, we expected to get more fully automatic controls on items such as as auto rear gate opening, all side cameras, seat controls. We would have to have paid several thousand more for the "touring." Model."

"Top model under$30K"

"WE had to pay a great deal to get the new safety features."

"Touring Model covers all our needs very well. Some of electronic controls could be made simpler to use."

"We went to look and purchase a 2015 leftover, they ultimately didn't have what we wanted, but rather than let us leave the offered us a 2016 for the price we wanted to pay for a 2015 leftover."

"Great MPG, comfortable, inexpensive to operate"

"Great tech. Side mirror is the best."

"Salesman told us rubber mats asked for were included; after delivery, he told us this would be $200 plus extra. Black carpet-constantly needs vacuming and otherminor details."

"I feel that the safety and dependability are paramount in the vehicles that my family drives. The CRV exceeds my expectations in both areas"

"I paid $21,682 for a basic LX (plus taxes). Considering the quality, practicality, available space, and long-term reliability of the vehicle, this is very good value. I was surprised at how much car this was for less than $22,000."

"Comfortable, decent fuel mileage, plenty of room"

"It has a good amount of acceleration which is great for passing and going up hill"

"I like my 2016 Honda CR-V, but I actually liked the features of my 2004 CR-V better. I think the interior of the 2004 model was much more user-friendly as far as storage in the dash and center console, and under the passenger seat (there was a drawer). The 2016 model has none of this, and very little storage space for me as a driver or as a passenger. Also, I think the floor of the 2004 CR-V was a much better carpet material than the 2016 CR-V, so I'm somewhat disappointed in those factors."

"I"

"For the price, the interior styling and features are below competition. Further, I have issues with bluetooth calling and the dealers are unwilling to address them"

"Excellent peoduct"

"Dealer gave us a good deal because the 2015 we bought from them had a problem that could not be fixed."

"Used ConsumerReports buying service and got an excellent price compared to what others have paid. When the dealer tried to add package of add-ons. Since some of them were worthwhile I only paid half the asked amount for the entire package"

"features that help while driving are pretty good. the cameras and lane keeping functions I believe are excellent for senior citizens."

"I was forced to lease the car at the MSRP value. Nothing lower. When I am to consider buying the car after 3 years, I will have paid the original MSRP price of the car. No good."

"Comfort"

"Even though the CRV base package did not have all the safety and phone/audio features I would like, it was attractively priced and Honda's hold their value so well and overall are very reliable, that I was able to give up some wants to have a car that would perform well and hold it's resale value."

"Excellent value. I do wish that my Honda had an overhead window, heated seats, and more internal storage space. Next time, I will request these features."

"Color. I preferred red but this year, Honda created a separate class of car. Any CRV that wasn't black, grey, silver, or white became more expensive to buy. I didn't like that."

"Interior has gray seats but cockpit area is black.side panels flooring and dash. Would have preferred all gray interior. Driver seat has electronic controls, Disappointed that passenger seat is not electric. Overall though, I love my CRV and would absolutely purchase another one ."

"Needs roof rack"

"Shaped like a bullet"

"I like the style of the car"

"clean looking!"

"The inside is very roomy. I like the air conditioning controls in back.."

"The styling does not appeal to me as much as some other small SUVs but the research I conducted gave me better mileage and reliability than the other vehicles I considered."

"Love the styling of the 2016 CR-V. It looks sleek, somewhat aerodynamic, it stands out from the crowd because of its excellent design."

"the back bumper had no plastic protection strip on the top portion of it."

"Only two negatives with the entire car: (1) color was not what was shown on website. "Copper" turned out to be brown with copperish hue. Very disappointed. (2) Car washes do not get back of car clean...due to shape?"

"Modern, attractive"

"Love the color and look"

"The rear is too busy. Too many lines The head lights are still bad when turning, you cannot see into the lane you're turning into."

"This is an outstanding vehicle!! It has all the options I could ever want for safety and for comfort!"

"I didn't like the color choice (only 1) for the interior of the vehicle."

"Very satisfied"

"I got the cargo mats installed for this model but am a little disappointed with the driver side mat as it doesn't cover the rug around the pedal section. Also ordered a seat cover for the back and consider the price of product too expensive for what it looks like."

"Back window is too small. Would like a better view to the rear of the vehicle."

"The Honda CRV has maintained a similar body style for years. I like the looks of the car inside and out."

"I think that restyled (2015+) is about the best looking small SUV on the market. The LED daytime running lights are the icing on the cake."
