2013 Honda CR-V consumer reviews

This is our first Honda and we are extremely happy with the vehicle. The exterior is very streamlined and stylish, just what my wife was looking for. Haven't had a chance to use the heated seats but the leather seating is very comfortable. Performance and mileage are just what we expected. The back-up camera gives us several options and is very helpful. The fold down rear seats are easy to do and along with a generous rear storage gives us a lot of space for luggage when we travel. We are very impressed happy we bought a Honda.

Still exploring the new functionalities but there are a couple new technology impressed me already. One is the rear camera gives you the assurance during backing. The other is the menu driven interface to help you customize the settings of some basic functions like how many seconds you can leave the light on after turning off engine. Of course, the Bluetooth connection to pair your cell phone is very convenient.

This seems to be the car that I need at tis time in my life...It drives soo easy,,drive by wire takes time to adjust too..Have almost all of the comforts that I can get used too,,maybe too many,, like XM radio,,etc...Needs window visors, sun visor and rear visor covers... really great to see the MPG showing all the time...the rear view camera is great ,, but still miss the warning sensors to beep.. also the three buttons for the garage door ,,gate and ?? opener over the mirror...Great side mirrors,,no need for the little round stick~ons...

I bought the car the end of May 2013. Have only put on about 600 miles and two tanks of gas. I checked the mpg which was a combined highway/around town and calculated it to be 21.3 mpg which I thought was low. I did have the econ button on along with the A/C all the time. No cargo, just two passengers. I was disappointed. The rest of the SUV experience has been fine, its was our second Honda, the other on being an Accord. The inside is very spacious all the way around. If you like driving an Accord you will like driving the CR-V. Just wish the mileage was better.

I finally bought a new CRV even though it's rated at the same gasoline use as my 1999. Many improvements, but I need the manual at my side at all times. Can't speak to reliability of the 2013, the 199-- the old one--never needed a major repair so I have high hopes. Many comforts, but haven't found the correct driver's seat adjustment that still lets me sit down without bumping, has space for left foot, and still can reach the steering wheel.I use my car for getting around and particularly for winter and mountain driving in the snow.

Great value for the money. Bought the EX AWD model. Surprised it did not have an electric seat for the driver's side and no homelink garage opener. Other than that, it is a good small SUV with other features such as the reverse camera, blue tooth, and MP3 player integration. Average gas mileage is 25 mpg around town. Too soon to tell on reliability, but I have had many Hondas and expect this one to be very reliable.

I've had my 2013 CR-V EX now going on three months... bought it brand new.. traded in my 2012 Honda Accord SE for it... i find that the CR-V has way more power when i need it then the Accord had... odd since it has a 2.4 engine also... No the CR-V is not the best looking vehicle ever...No your not going to be able to run with a Corvette or Mustang but Honda in my opinion got this car right on every aspect... its a solid ride... has even that truck ride to it... awesome car... should have gotten one sooner... Thank you Honda....

Like everything about the car except the very firm, uncomfortable front seats. Peformance is excellent for a compact.

Be advised -- loud scraping, grunting sound backing up. Honda says that rear differential motor is bad. Had new part installed. I call Honda corporate and was told they have other reports on this problem. Hopefully the problem will not reappear. This should NOT happen with a brand new car!!

Great design and fuel mileage, daughter has 2001 with almost 200k on it! By far best bang for the buck especially when u consider super high resale! Roomy , safe & consumer reports best pic & we c why as we bought the EX model! Only gripe needed lumbar on front seats!
