I was cheated buying this car from O'Hare HOnda.

I don't like the exterior styling Strong reliable car. Interior is great. The exterior awful. The accelerator is hard.Not smooth like a subaru or other American cars.

My Second CR-V!

I love my new CR-V! I had a CR-V previously for 13 years and there was no question about what to buy when I was looking for a new car. It's reliable, comfortable, and looks good! I can use hands free phone and can stream Pandora! It is roomy and has lots of space in the back for my large dog! It's a great car!

First vehicle I will need the lemon law for

If you own one check your oil weekly. It will increase with more mileage you drive it. Do Not use your oil life monitor. There is gas getting into the oil. If you ask the salesperson and they say they don't know anything about this problem. Run away they know all to well about it. Honda will change the oil and filter for free if you complain about fuel in your oil. I got a extra 1/2 quart every 1000 miles. Not the Honda I wanted. Wish I would of known that they lowered there standard's.

Wonderful, beautiful, comfortable, has amazing fa

I have wanted the steering wheel to go up so my long legs could fit, it finally does. Good on the leg room front and back. Love the item where gives you an extra spot for your water bottle. Electrical items are amazing and easy to see. It is so easy to slide into and out of. Not trying to get up in and out.up, or jump in and out.

First time Honda owner. Love the vehicle!

The seats seem like they deteriorate prematurely. The foam pad on the bottom side are thin and no thick to handle in and out of the vehicle. I seen this happen in a 2011 but hoped they would figure it out.

Very nice, lots of bang for the buck

This is my 3rd CR-V. I owned 2014, 2016, and now 2018. Overall it's a great car and you now get a LOT of bang for the buck. Lots of options previously available only on higher end models. I do however have issue with the Honda Sensing suite of "safety" protections. Myself and many owners have had issues with the vehicle slamming on the brakes for no reason, creating dangerous situations. For me I was on the highway, the car slammed on the brakes for no reason and I nearly got rear ended by a tractor trailer. Other owners in many facebook and internet forums also complain about having oil being diluted by gasoline somehow getting into the oil. I do not yet have this issue, but I am concerned at the high number of 2017 and 2018 owners that do. And VERY concerned that Honda is lying, saying this is normal and won't do anything to help owners. So my decision to buy a Honda in the future will be determined how they handle this situation. For now I love the car, it rides nice, the turbo is peppy, Android Auto and Apple Car Play eliminate the need to pay for navigation in the car. The seats are very comfortable. The back seat leg room is ridiculously good. I have had 3 people in excess of 6 feet tall in the back seat and all were comfortable and had plenty of leg room. Best leg room in the class hands down. So, time will tell if I buy it out at the end of the lease, or turn it in at the end of the lease. Fingers crossed I dont get the oil dilution issue like so many others have. And for now I have deactivated most of the "Honda Sensing Suite" and reported the problem to Honda via my dealership service department. Too dangerous to consider using it any more.
