"The car rides and drives well. The drivers seat bottom is uncomfortable due to a bar under the seat. Road noise is a little high but this is normal for a Honda product. Rear seat room is ok but with a child seat in the rear it is very tight for the child to climb into there seat. Gas mileage is 27 to 28 MPG on the highway. I have not checked MPG around town. Cargo room is Ok. I have driven the 2012 version. They have made some improvements but they are not enough to warrant trading a 2011 model for a 2012."

"I just got a brand new 2011 CR-V EXL. With the first snow storm in Chicago, I used the front shield defroster for the first time and I heard an explosion, the front shield window cracked all the way across. A honda dealer admitted to me that Honda wanted to make this vehicle as light weight as possible, so they made an unusually large size front shield window way thinner than all other vehicles from the same class! The worst part is Honda does not want to cover for this defective and poorly designed windshield, they want me to pay almost $1000 to replace it. What a ... ."

"I really love my Honda CR-V. Love the way it drives on the road. You don't feel every bump like you do other big cars. The car warms up inside very quickly and is very comfortable. Lots of leg room in the back. I like the shelf in the trunk area. Helps me to keep my car organized better. The only thing I would re-do would be to purchase a car with a dark interior. I have a taupe colored interior and it shows everything. Concerned that it will look old very fast...my 2009 CR-V looked like knew when I sold it...hopefully this will too."

"We bought our 2011 CR-V on Black Friday, 2010. We chose the LX trim line to save money. It has a couple of annoying short-comings: a single-speed intermittent wiper (not variable) and a mostly useless console between the front seats. You can only set a few small items on it, and it doesn't open up to put anything in it. Mileage for 1 year is 24.4MPG (actual). The engine is very peppy for a vehicle this size. The cargo space is good, but not flat in front when the back seat is folded down. Folding and unfolding the rear seats is a back strain opportunity, since you have to lean over while pulling the release straps and lifting the seat. The rear hatch opening is much narrower than the interior of the cargo area, which means that something that COULD fit inside the cargo area won't fit through the opening to get it in there. The sound system sounds very inexpensive, with no "surround" or depth at all. On those rare occasions that I reach for the horn, I wind up pressing on places on the steering wheel that do nothing. Visibility out the rear is poor with the rear seat head restraints in a normal position. Mechanically excellent so far (only a burnt-out tail light, covered under warranty). The keyless remote is only active from about 30 feet. Major complaint in the Summer is the temp settings for the A/C. When the temp wheel is at its coldest setting, it is uncomfortably cool in the front seats. 1 click to the warmer direction is not cool enough. There is a huge temp difference between those two clicks. So it is impossible to find a perfect setting for us. Everything else is as expected from Honda - functional, reliable. I like the car, but can't say I love it."

The dealership I used was very professional and refreshingly honest as well as genuine in their practices. This is my new way of looking and finding a new car! Thank you!"

"Terrific product except for a few small issues in the front seat area. We also own a 2011 Civic. On the following points the Civic is much better. 1- The space between the two front seats does not serve well. The cup holder framework has no place to hold other things such as a tissue box or other such things. If folded down the space is to small. and too hard to reach. Civic arrangement much better. Easy to reach and a covered compartment. 2. The gauges are simpler, easier to work with and read on the Civic. Mileage A and B gauges. 3. The knobs and punch bottons on the radio are too small to get a hold on and use. Knobs on the heater and the knobs on both parts of the Civic are terrific. Big and easy to manage. New style on the CRV are ridiculously small."

"I was pleased with all the features on my CR-V. Everything is automatic, we have plenty of room, including my 6'2 husband. It is smooth and stylish. The gas mileage is better than projected. The only complaint I have is the road noise."

"The 2011 Honda CR-V is a good no-frills vehicle. I would suggest more storage compartments in the interior. Also it is not as economical to operate as some other models. It offers a "firmer" ride than the luxury models."
