2013 Honda CR-V Great Vehicle

I drive for both Uber and Lyft and drive between 150-250 miles a day, 6 days a week. I absolutely love this vehicle. Great value and super dependable. I tried to be objective and find a negative about this SUV. The only thing I can say is that the backseat could be more spacious for large groups of 3 adults in the back seat.

2013 CRV

I have had so many problems with this car starting in cold weather. The battery was replaced under warranty but it still won't start in the cold -10 and colder. I would never buy another one. It seems like the battery is just not big enough for the amount of electronics in the car! Does anyone have any suggestions or are having the same problems ?

CRV 2013

Cast battery system unreliable. Periodically has to be jump started while battery tests perfectly. Dealer no help This issue makes the car unsafe and unreliable. Very disappointed.

I Love Honda

What a great vehicle! Great fuel economy, reliable, and roomy. It's been an extremely reliable and average 25 MPG mixed city/highway driving. I've taken it camping and it always hauls our bikes to different scenic routes. I've driven it cross country with no issues. I'd definitely buy another one.

It's a good, reliable car. However...

I am constantly disappointed when I have to sit on the front passenger side and there's no arm rest over there! What's up with that; I had the car for months before I realized that I had been cheated out of a second arm rest.

LOVE IT

My first SUV after owning Acuras. I live in Boston so the AWD is a game-changer. The car drives really easily. Very fluid and nimble. Can turn on a dime. Very peppy engine. The AC could be a little more powerful - especially on very hot summer days, it struggles to keep up. Incredible visibility - you really feel in control of the vehicle. Interior layout is terrific. Everything is simple and in the right place (intuitive). The interior finishes could be a higher quality. Too bad there isn't a slightly bigger engine and advanced AWD logic but I never got stuck in the snow (had to rock a few times when we had 3 feet of snow on the ground but I always got free). Love this car!

Worst Car I've Ever Owned

I own a Honda CRV-LX and would not buy this vehicle if I had a do over. Would absolutely not recommend to a friend. Seats are extremely uncomfortable. Carpeting is like felt, not carpet at all, spent additional $400 for custom mats to protect "felt"- in case I ever wanted to trade or sell. Gas mileage is good, 22 MPG in city, 35 Hwg - depends on how you drive. At 20K miles rotors were warped. This is my 2nd Honda, not happy at all, think I'll go back to Toyota.

GRINDING UPON START UP

I had CRV into Honda 3 times and they are aware of grinding noise . They know it doesn't damage engine but its not a safety issue . Also, they won't say it's actually the actuator causing the problem . But they are trying to come up with a solution . I got all the extended warranties and I'm 2 years into paying on vehicle . And I have to put up with total strangers coming up to me and saying you should get that looked at . The noise is loud and embarrassing . I expected better from Honda .
