Super Honda, but of course!
This is my 2nd CRV (EX for back support feature), and my 3rd Honda. My first CRV lasted 20 years, with the undercarriage rusting out from tough New England weather...otherwise I'd still be driving it. Without the rear tire hanging off the back the car seems much shorter. BUT, I think the length overall is about the same (as the one from 1995), and indeed, it is taller, so the storage area is more than adequate. I haul 40-50 lbs bags of "stuff" with plenty of room. Getting 32-33 MPG with regular everyday driving..,amazes me! Could not believe it. Yet, even on "Eco" setting, car has plenty of pep, quite zippy, and wonderful breaking capacity. I'm short, but don't need a step to get in, despite the nice height of the car...great feeling. And excellent front head-lights shine wide on the road. 16" wheels and AWD worked well in deep mud of late winter. The 10-way back support is genius...really helps! My only gripe is the manual: it lists all 4 models with all features of all models shown...it's annoying and though I usually read manuals (yes I do), this one drives me crazy. I find something interesting, and go out to find that it is not on my EX model. You'd think a great company like Honda could make a separate manual for 4 models??? There are lots of gizmos, touch radio, mirrors, cameras, moon roof, etc., so a good manual would not be asking too much, ya think? Love it though, despite the manual! Color choices are limited, but I got Sunset which is a most amazing chameleon, going from mahogany in the garage to sparkly rich orange in the sun...really glad they had at least ONE cool color. ;) Oh, and dealer service is excellent.

Great, sporty little SUV
I have had my new Honda about 2 weeks and I love it. I haven't learned all there is to know about it yet. There so many features on it that I've never had on any car I've owned. It drives great and it a good size for me. Not too big , not too small, It is a beautiful car. My son is a mechanic and he recommended it highly. His wife is on her 2nd Honda. She drives around 180 miles daily and enjoys her Honda. This car has the camera which was a big seller for me.

We love our CR-V (s)
We bought a new CR-V ex w/AWD in March. We live in Colorado and had a chance to drive it in the last big snow storm of the season here. It was perfection. We love everything about this car and cannot find one significant thing wrong with it. In fact, we like it so much we bought another one last month! I think that is the highest recommendation I can make for this car. The only thing you may want to consider is that it is smaller than a full size SUV so you will want to see if that suits your needs.

Sheer pleasure
This is the 3rd Honda I've gotten in last 20 years, 1st one was a Civic, 2nd an Accord and now this very attractive CRV. I love the fact that I am higher up in the car. The ride is very smooth and the interior is lush. The leg room in the back seat is comfortable, no one feels crunched. I've had such good luck with my Hondas, I'm wary to try anything else.

Love the CR V
I was a Jeep fan for 8 years. I bought my 2012 Jeep Compass in 2012 only 3 years later electronic throttle went out and of course my warranty did not cover it. Then a week later my passenger window motor quit and guess what my electronic throttle was starting to act up. I traded it in for my very first Honda. The gas mileage I am getting is insane. I am getting 230 miles per tank of gas. I love the roomy insides. I will definitely be a Honda fan for life

Honda CR-V Best Bang for the Buck
We recently purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V Touring. We have found the vehicle to be very responsive, even in the "eco" mode. Steering is tight, smooth quiet ride. The touch screen takes a little getting used to, but is very functional. Steering wheel controls are easy to maneuver. Couldn't believe the 33 MPG highway we got on a long trip. Storage behind the rear seat is a fooler. During our recent trip we got a "roller bag" suitcase, 2-dufflebags, 3-toiletry bags, an infant Pack-n-Play crib with changing table, and a cooler in the cargo area and were still able to utilize the pull out privacy cover so no one could see what we were hauling. Overall we are VERY happy with the vehicle. The only downside was the optional Honda remote starter only included one key fob. Wished there had been two, or the feature would have been included in the keyless ingition fobs (2) which came with the vehicle.

The 2015 CR-V Touring
Very comfortable, very peppy, this is our 3rd CRV, only complaint is that they reduced the amount of interior storage space substantially, had to down size a lot

Too Early To Tell
Purchased my first new car ever. It is a Honda so, first of all, it is a very good car. This is our third Honda CR-V. This is our first EX-L. It is very comfortable. Reliability is too new to evaluate...but...it is a Honda. My only complaint so far is the automatic rear mirror "dimmer". It does not darken enough at night nor quick enough. Perhaps this is related to a chip or computer adjustment that can and will be made by the manufacturer (I hope) as it is currently, totally unsatisfactory. I am an old country boy and I can make some adjustments to it...but....I shouldn't have to. I would prefer a manual rear view mirror...but...that was not an option. Clearly, the dealership has no idea how to adjust it. Otherwise, so far, I am very pleased and hope it will be like a tootsie roll and last a long time. It could always cost less...but...that's how things go.

best rideing car. Fits my back.
Just got my CR V. Best riding car I've had in a long time. The seat was made to fit my back. There is a lot of room. We are plus seniors and there is so much room inside. The salesman was great. I drove it in traffic and felt at ease. We were waited on very quickly and the time signing paper work was quick. NO WAITING. The car is great and the service was great.
