Great Looking Small SUV with plenty of pick up

We just bought this car as we were looking for an affordable AWD vehicle. We loved the styling of this car and it definitely has good pick up. It is a 2016 with only 19K miles and looks like it just came out of the showroom. Also it has the great Honda reputation.

Incredible ride

This car gives me incredible pick up when I need it and it’s an extremely smooth and comfortable ride. So thrilled that I went with the AWDnas I can feel the difference on the road at all times.

Very reliable car

The car met our needs. Very reliable and comfortable. We have owned Honda CRV's in the past and love their outstanding reliability. I searched cars.com and paid close attention to the details of the carfax. This particular car was a lease for 3 years and they had consistent maintenance performed on the car.

Great bang for your buck

Honda CR-V is spacious and reliable, which is why I felt it was the car I needed. The performance isn't the greatest but it is more than enough for my day to day travel.

This is a sporty yet economical SUV.

My 2016 red Honda CR-V is sporty to drive yet economical in MPG. It has a green feature you can turn on to be gas-saving yet it still accelerates like a sports car. The red is more like burgundy which is gorgeous! I feel so safe and sporty at the same time. It’s great for families, for winter driving, camping, long trips, and just about anything. I love it!

Great upgrade from a Camry to AWD CRV

I think this car is pretty great so far. I could be a bit more roomy (as I am tall) but they have fixed that in the newer model. I drove a 2019 as a loaner car (for a minor issue fix) and the e -brake has been move from the floor in the 2016 where your left foot rests and is now in the middle console on the 2019. Drives great. I bought an AWD for the snowy winters. Havent driven in the snow yet but handles well on the wet roads when it rains. Much better than my front wheel Camry. I like that (at least my model/year) still has a CD player and the 2016 has the lane assist camera for the passenger side. They stopped that for the next generation. In the 2019 the indicator are on the mirror and the small indicator becomes yellow if a car is in the blind spot. And if the car is getting to close you hear a beeping. the beeper is a nice feature but I like the lane assist camera better in my 2016. The 2016 still has needles for the speedometer and the others which I like better than the digital one which is in the 2019 that I drove for a short time. I only just got the car so cant speak for the longevity, but with Hondas great reputation I have no worries. Small thing too, My 2016 doesnt have a knob for volume, which would have been nice. Just turn off the audio completely if I need to turn down the sound quickly. But it appears they added it back as the 2019 has it. Just some small little things for me but overall I'm happy with the car I purchased and look forward to using it for years to come.

My first Honda.

I needed to replace my trusty 12 year old small SUV. A knowledgeable friend suggested the Honda CRV would be a good choice for me. I had a good experience purchasing a used CRV. The car is really nice. It drives and rides well. I’m very pleased with the gas mileage I’m getting. Overall, it’s a great car.

Best car ever

Love this car. This is my second one now. The one I owned up until now was a 1998 Honda CR-V. Most reliable car I have ever owned for just a few weeks short of 21 years now. They just keep going like the Energizer batteries. The one thing I wish they would do is get back the interior color I had on my old one. Never showed the dirt.

Value for money car

This car met all my needs. Honda CR-V finishes near the top of our compact SUV rankings. It’s an ideal vehicle for most families thanks to its spacious rear seats, outstanding safety scores, and vast amount of cargo space. Happy with my purchase decision. Buy CR-V from Honda Downtown Chicago.
