Low maintenace cost

This car does not use Premium gas so I save some money in the gas pump. This car has a lot of power during acceleration.

Love my CRV?

My CRV has all of the features most important to me, AWD, reliability, and economy. It's really versatile, peppy, super comfortable, and I just love it!

Great car

Not much to say about the CRV that most people don?t know. Great gas mileage, comfortableand spacious! The exterior design is great, but I personally like the 2017 better. They keep getting better!

Great value for money.

Car has been great. Smooth ride quality although a little noise from OE Dunlop tires. Plenty of room throughout the car, and even in the back seats (I'm 6'3".) Gas mileage is great for an SUV and better than most competitors, CVT is smooth although I wish they stuck to a TRUE CVT instead of one with "two gears." Auto climate in the car is incredible. Only gripes are the infotainment system's lack of a volume knob and difficulty of use, as well as the rear power tailgate... it really doesn't want to be used manually and the power lift is a little slow when you're in a hurry (think airport.)

Nicest car I've ever owned!

I fell in love with this car the first time I saw it! Spacious interior, well designed, beautiful color and all of the accessories I need. This one is a keeper!

So far so good

Bought 3-4 weeks ago, base-model, formal rental, with 50.6 kkm, in great condition, from a Honda dealership. Apparently one ball-joint had to be replaced (?), which is quite a young "age" for this to be needed. Otherwise a good "step-down" from a 2001 Lexus IS 300, for our age, with higher seating. Good fuel economy, 10.6 l/100km in city driving, and under 9 l/100km on highway.

Decent -Not What I Expected From HONDA

This SUV is just ok. Liked: Inside room is great, making things easy to move. I also enjoy the outer style/ appearance as well as seat comfort. Cons: very cumbersome volume knobs (lack of knobs), SUV shakes when it idles, blibdspot ( Honda assist) on right side only, poor sounds system

Best vehicle I every owned.

My CR-V drives wonderful. I never owned a car that drives this nice. It handles great, no matter what the weather or road conditions. I am totally sold on this car. If and when I ever purchase another car, I will look for another CR-V just like this one.

Disappointed

I bought a AWD Touring new and it started using oil quickly. After several visits to the dealer and communications with Honda, guess what, they do not consider it a problem. Also the expensive navigation system is mostly void of road names when driving. You have a disorganized spider web on the screen no mater the zoom factor. Really POOR! Again, it functions to Honda performance specs. Real performance and Honda performance differs.
