2011 Honda CR-V consumer reviews

It may not be the prettiest or cutest, it may not be the fastest or the most fun to drive, What it is , is, practical, reliable, comfortable and trustworthy. Lets face it, its like the scout of vehicles, like being in your own home. Many really like going to a fancy hotel but you always like your own bed and coming home, This is what the CR-V is like. A creature of comfort and you can not go wrong with that!

I've always wanted to own a CR-V and finally the day came true. I am more than happy with it.. If I had the extra money to spend at the time, I would of gone with all the extras, EX-L and Navi, but I am just as happy with cloth(EX) and a GPS unit. I have two kids 2yr and 7mo and we all fit rather comfortabley. The back end is quite spacious, as I have a tandem stroller and still have room for more things. If we were to take any long trips we would just use are cargo carrier, or our other vehicle(a truck). I couldn't be happier with my small SUV! It's pretty good on gas, but I have yet to get what they claim it gets...or at least that's what the gage on the dash tells me.. I haven't actually calculated it myself.. Honda has a reputation and I believe in it. I have strayed away from Honda's before and I always end up back in one! Maybe now I will learn my lesson and not stray again! :)

Had a 2000 Civic and still have a 2003 Accord. The transmission went out on my Accord 4 months after the warranty expired; Honda paid 2/3 of the cost of a replacement transmission. What other company treats their customers like that, they technically owed me nothing but they showed how they value their customers. I don't know what the bad review was all about, I suspect it is a nut case, since the shop can't duplicate any of their imaginary problems.

Don't buy a Honda CR-V. Four times in first month when I try to stop the engine has sped up or not shifted down to idle. Really scary. This is a safety issue. I took it to shop twice. They check codes (none) and look at brakes and say cannot reproduce. Honda will not do anything. Another safety issue is the side visibilty is bad. Doorposts in way cannot see well on either side of car. Road nosie is terrible. Cannot hear radio when open windows and drive on freeway. The worst part is lack of response from Honda. Rep told me to call Honda. I did. They said someone will get back to me next day. Three days later I am still waiting. They don't seem to care. Don't buy Honda.

Love the GPS in the dash and the only negative I see is the headrest are a little bit uncomfortable and not in the least adjustable to be for comfort. This was a nice change from the Vans we had. Could use a little more leg room in the back seats. We added the wood trim inside that made it have the rich warm feel. Love the Sage Green color with the interior wood trim. Gas milage runs 28-30 mpg and we appreciate that. Over all, we love it!

I've had my CRV-EXL with leather and 4WD for a couple of months now and have enjoyed every minute I have driven it. We have a 2008 Accord EXL in the garage so we are not new to Hondas. This car is quieter and handles better than the Accord in my estimation. The only complaint I have so far is getting a feel for the transmission. Hard not to hit the passing gear at speeds above 45 or 50mph when you want to goose it a little. It's a little annoying but not a deal breaker. Overall, it's a great car and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Very happy with my purchase. Had to get the navigiation system based on the color I wanted and dealer stock. Stereo is excellent! Still learning the Nav. Drove 1,000 miles, idles a little rough and getting between 18 ~19.5 miles per gallon. Other thant that extremely pleased. A lot of room for the overall size. Looked at the Subaru Outback and Santa Fe. Decided on the Honda based on realibility. So far, no problems.

Very pleased with this vehicle. We purchased the SE model, which for us was equipped just right for the price. It snowed here today and the AWD was terrific handling the weather. Looking forward to enjoying this SUV for years to come.

The 2011 CR-V is everything it is advertised to be. We are more than pleased with our purchase. This is one solid car. Drives well in all conditions including snow and ice. And it hauls a bundle. It's hard to go wrong with a CR-V.

We just took delivery of our 2011 CR-V a week ago and have driven it about 350 miles at this point. We agree with some industry reviewers that the impression of quality arises with the interior. We got the leather seats, and notice that there are sewn leather panels on the inside surfaces of the doors, something we have not seen on our other cards with leather seatsw. Having a single engine just eliminates one area of struggle at decision time. The standard 4 cyl. engine has been perked up a little for 2011. I have passed with it on the highway and I believe the power is satisfactory -- and the power gets to the road better with the sophisticated 5 speed trans. The car is a very nice size. As a family of just two, we do not need a feel sized SUV or a minivan. The CR-V -- which weighs about 3500 lbs. -- is just right for us. Not some tinly little "bug" of a car, but yet, not driving around in unneeded tons of steel. In summary, we are satisfied and hope to get many years of use out of this little SUV.
