2016 Honda CR-V consumer reviews

This 2016 EX-L was a fave...so much so, I extended the lease for 12mos (thank you Honda for making that a snap!). It was sporty, fun, comfortable even with 3 adults in the backseat. Great cargo room & very easy to drop seats as needed to haul things. Rode so well all 4 years....comfort & confidence in an SUV on CA highways is a plus. Loved my lovely CRV.

Has a smooth drive, spacious for a small suv, beautiful car, fuel efficient, comfortable, back up camera, blutooth. The drive feel is awesome, I can’t wait to drive it everyday, I almost wish my commute was longer! So many +’s about this car! It’s everything I wanted.

The CRV gets great gas mileage, safety features are top notch and is a sporty fun vehicle to drive! Very happy with this vehicle. Honda CRV

I have own several cars but this CRV Touring is the best ever. Overall, it has the features I want, the room, the mpg, the dealer service, the best of everything. The dealer service is super. My Service Representative Tammie Spears is the best.

After totally my Favorite Honda Pilot, I thought I wouldn't be able to own another Honda again! I have owned7 cars in my life and 5 of them have been Honnda's. Waldorf Honda was better even than Ken Dixon Honda, I didn't think it was possible. You get ALOT for your money in the CRV and it is fantastic!

Good car not a lot of tech so nothing goes bad, I have 47823 on the car and it still feels new no squeaks or rattles, had to replace tires but just simple maintenance is done oil changes and tire rotations.

This car is awesome. It has everything I could ever want in a SUV. Reliable, comfortable, sporty looking, and more. I will be keeping this car for a long time.

After nearly three months of ownership of the 2016 Honda CR-V SE model I’ve got some short term impressions. The car handles very well and has a great turning radius. The smaller size makes it much easier to get into a parking space than my 2004 Honda Odyssey that I traded in. The electronics are fun with the I-Phone hookup, USB aux connectors, and backup camera. The instrument cluster has a whole array of warning lights and information and you can even check on the MPG that you are getting. I like that the 2016 year model still has a CD player in it and a mechanical speedometer. The owner’s manual can be a little confusing because it has instructions for all of the different trims. The CD version of the manual that comes with it is more complete. A warning light comes on when it is time to service the car. There is not a standard service mileage listed in the manual. I like the way that the gear shift lever goes straight up and down and doesn’t require a jog to get into the lower gears. Also it comes out of the dash area which leaves more room in the center console. It has good pickup for a 4 cylinder and really doesn’t feel under powered. It is easy to hit 80 on the interstate before you even realize it. I got between 30 and 33 miles to the gallon on a recent road trip. The visibility is really good all the way around and there is an extended view on the left side mirror that gives a wider range than usual so that the car in the next lane is visible in the mirror almost until they are right beside you. The trunk space is pretty large and the way the 2nd row seats fold in with a lever is really clever and easy on the back. I've been able to put my bicycle in the back if I take off the front wheel of the bike. The car only had 21,000 miles on it when I bought it which was well under normal for a 2016 that was three years old. I've still have some warranty left under the factory 60,000 mile/5 year coverage. Also I feel like I got a good bargain on it. The low mileage and good price was a big factor in my purchase. Overall I’d say it’s not bad car for the money. There are some things, however, that aren’t so great in my opinion. The headlights seem a little narrow, making it hard to see a corner when you are making a turn in the dark. I've also found myself constantly adjusting the temperature control on the AC because it doesn't seem to stay consistent. The seats on the SE trim do not have a lumbar support and it does get a little uncomfortable on long trips. The battery went dead after about 5 weeks and I had to get a jump to get it going. but the dealer did replace it for free under the 90 day dealer warranty. The main disappointment that I have had though to this point is the road noise and bumpy ride. I did not notice it so much on the test drive but it became more noticeable as I drove it more. The car is unforgiving in picking up the noise from the road surface and is bumpy if you are not on a smooth road such as concrete or very smooth asphalt. When I complained to the dealer about the bumpiness they balanced the tires which helped some but they said I cannot expect it to ride as smooth as my Odyssey because it is a smaller car and has a stiffer ride. I notice also that the car feels lightweight and most of the interior surfaces are plastic. You have to be careful not to have sharp objects around the plastic parts or it will make a scratch. The black trim along the bottom of the car already has some fading on it and nothing seems to restore it. Also there is a small vibration from the motor sometimes when I am at a stop light and some small engine chatter that I can hear if I listen carefully. I would suggest that you try different cars out before deciding on this one and make sure that it is right for you. I did not do that and wonder everyday if I could have done better. You may end up staying with the CR-V but at least you will have some other models to compare it to. Also the LX or SE trim are pretty well equipped but make sure that you are OK with what you do not have, such as leather seats, automatic headlights, and a lumbar support among other things.

Love the CR-V. It’s a great size. Big enough that I feel safe but small enough for the not so tall people. Plenty of room to hail things and handles great. I love it!!!

Compared to my old Accord, the CR-V sits higher so I can see better. There is more leg room for front AND back seat passengers. My CR-V feels solid and powerful. The back trunk is perfect for hauling everything from groceries to furniture to gardening supplies (It holds a lot of bags of mulch!).Plus, the back seats unfold easily and completely to provide double the hauling room.
