2015 Honda CR-V consumer reviews

It is still new with less than 500 miles traveled. Likes: Gets almost 23 miles per driving around town Has excellent night lighting Ride quality is very good for a all wheel drive vehicle Large variety of accessories because of models manufacturing run Has all of the features I usually have to installed already present. Excellent forward vision Dislikes: Controls often require looking away from road to use touch controls screen is quite complicated and the surrounding buttons are quite small Door head room is low for drivers 5'-11" Rear cargo area needs organization (cargo net?) It is well assembled and has the level of quality I have come to expect from Honda - so far, so good

I haven't noticed anything about my EX AWD except how balanced and functional it is. The handling and braking is sure-footed. The acceleration is predictable and capable. The iPhone/infotainment integration is far beyond my expectations. I have no buyer's remorse. (Disclaimer: I have three vehicles with CVT transmissions.)

I had a real bad experience with the first car dealership but when we went to the second dealer, we were very happy with how we were treated and purchased a beautiful car from them. I love the white diamond pearl exterior with the black leather interior. It is very swanky. I recommend this car to everyone who is looking for a mid size SUV. It is a delight to own.

We live in northern Ontario and are experiencing a very cold winter. Many mornings are -30C or lower. Our new 2015 CRV does not heat up enough to make the interior comfortable. I have prestarted the SUV for 10 min. and then driven for 20 min. and the temperature guage does not even reach the bottom C (cold) line of the temperature guage. The air coming out is not even luke warm. The only heat is what comes off the heated seats. Our old CRV and other vehicles have no problem warming up after 10 min. The drive to work is 32-35 min. The vehicle is still not warm at this time. We love this vehicle, it is our 3rd Honda but are very disappointed in the heat.

Agree with the review here that indicate shuddering/vibration at various speeds and RPMS. Just bought 2015, took back to dealer and service manager said this was normal! I have never had a new vehicle that does this and I would not buy another Honda if they don't fix this.

I have been a life long Honda fan and often bragged about how "bulletproof" the brand is. We purchased the new 2015 CRV-LX and I can say without an near equal this is the worst vehicle I've owned. It shakes and shudders and idle, the vibrations become maddening at higher speeds and engine races while switches gears with the RPM's jumping all over the place. It also takes forever to heat up and the power steering is so sensitive it constantly feelsike its out of alignment. So disappointed in Honda. I have 2004 Element with 160,000 miles on it and it feels like a Maybach compared to this new CRV. Called to complain and basically got the blow off. Unless Honda does something drastic they have certainly lost a customer for life in me and my family.

Do not buy this truck has many problems and deep serves not see the forums vibrates a lot and deep and gave up saying qe is design problem in the CRV 2015 model will have to wait 2016

I like the new CRV that I just purchased. This is my 4th Honda. I have found them to be very reliable and great to drive. They have many options that are standard and this is a plus when purchasing a car. There is only one complaint that I have with this 2015 and that is the placement of the console box. I do not and have never used the arm rest on the right and with the position of this box it is very hard to enter it to retrieve any items that I might have in there, ex: sunglasses, etc. With this position it almost forces you to use the armrest which I do not like. I hope that this car will be as good or better than the other 3 I have owned.

Purchased a new 2015 Honda CRV-Ex in Dec. 2014. Was influenced by Honda reputation and Motor Trend's award. Have experienced constant vibrations from the wheels while rotating at all speeds. Dealer rebalanced the tires, but vibrations still continue. Engine vibration when stopped with foot on brake. Design flaws include: difficult to see dash gauges and top of speedometer from most driver adjusted sitting positions; difficult to reach the odometer reset button (should be on the steering wheel); radio has no knobs for adjusting volume or tuning; when rear seats are folded down, the headrests render the foot wells useless for storage; and the plastics on the dash and doors feels cheap. The good: fuel mileage and acceleration.

Recently purchased a 2015 CRV EXL and traded in my 2012 CRV EXL, which had the same body style. 2012 model performed well, and got great mileage for a SUV with AWD that was used primarily in a high altitude region of the country. Handling improved noticeably after I replaced the stock tires with a set of Michelins from Costco, which also reduced the interior noise considerably. The 2015 model has significantly more power than my 2012 CRV, primarily due to direct fuel injection and the CVT transmission. The AWD performs flawlessly on snow and ice covered roads in Montana, for a small SUV the traction and handling in treacherous road conditions is exceptional. You never feel the 4wd kicking in and out, as I can feel on my Escalade, its simply there when you need it. Vehicle easily goes 75mph down the freeway with no strain on the engine, and has plenty of power to pass when you want to. Already have over 5000 miles in just two months and am very pleased with the new model. Use Mobil 1 synthetic oil for protection and mileage, as I do on all my vehicles. In the end its the most economical oil out there when you factor in the increased oil change intervals and the improved mileage, not to mention the protection you're giving your engine. Currently my CRV is getting about 29mpg overall, which is remarkable for the way I drive. My only complaint is that the 2015 CRV did not come with Michelin tires, but that will happen when the stock tires need to be replaced. Have not had problems with the vehicle not heating up, and we have had below zero weather here, so that problem would have been very apparent. Acceleration from a stoplight and when passing on the freeway have been spirited and smooth, definitely not clunky nor afflicted by vibration as others have claimed. Can't comment on the comfort of the rear seat, since I never sit there....that's for my two corgis, unless they want to sit up front with me. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle to anyone. In my opinion you simply can't go wrong with it. My 2012 CRV trade-in with 58,000 miles sold off the dealer lot in 2 days. What does that tell you!
