2019 Honda CR-V consumer reviews

This car met all my needs. I wanted a small SUV with some luxury features and this car has it. It is the EXL, which provides a little extra boost for the engine when you need a fast start.

So excited when I test drove the 2019 CRV. It seemed to be everything I wanted & felt comfortable in the 15 min test drive. After I bought it & started using it in my 40 min drive to work, 30 minutes into my drive, I had to turn onto a highway exit ramp & get out, due to the the pain in my back, bottom & legs. My bottom went numb, pain down my legs & back ache where the lumbar support is suppose to be. The seats are hard & stiff and the 8 position adjustment does not adjust where you need it. It will not allow for the front of the seat to tilt down enough. The front of the seat cuts off the circulation in the back of your knees. The 8 point seat adjustment does NOT allow for your hip position to be level or slightly higher than your knees. Your hips are tilted down & always lower than your knees, which causes hip pain & your bottom to go numb. We have even taken the CRV to a car upholster to redo the seat. He tried to redo it two times & it is slightly better, but it still causes pain after about 50 min of driving. He said it is the shape of frame & the lack of seat adjustments. He can only do so much. I bought it new & will take a loss if I trade it in. There go's 10K down the drain! Which I just might have to do. Or let it sit in the garage until I can break even (which will take 2 years of payments). You cannot appreciate any of the nice features about this vehicle because it is too painful to drive. We have 2 other vehicles and I don't have any pain driving them. They are a Ford & a Buick. This is my first foreign vehicle. I guess that was a mistake. Buyer beware! Do not buy a Honda! Feels good at first, but the pain sets in later.

Very satisfied with the car. Plenty of room, quiet and comfortable ride. For years, my family has been pushing me to Honda as they all currently own them. I now understand. I should have switched to a Honda product years ago.

I bought the CRV with the turbo engine. Great performance and very comfortable. Lives up to all the great reviews and ratings. Already getting compliments from all who see it.

The car meets my needs. The interior console though should be redesign, especially the USB ports. Love the reverse camera and the automatic trunk opener.

Much prettier styling. More up to date options available Love the lights on mirror for blind spots. Love the beeping if you move over with no signal and its a danger.

This car meets all of our needs in leg room and head room all of the safety features makes this car a joy to drive.

I was shopping for an auto. We have a truck. We have owned Hondas for years. While I love this car, the seats tends to be a little harder than I would have liked. But that is a Honda trait. I would have liked the steering wheel to have been a bit more comfortable to hold and fabric a bit more generous for the EX model. The exterior is just average like every other SUV on the market. Nothing new or genuine there.

We spent months comparing Forester, Outback, Passport as replacement for our 2009 CR-V. We drove, read reviews. The CR-V has a bit more cargo room than the old one, a backup camera, plenty of legroom for tall dad and son. A trifle disappointed with the layout of the controls; A/C button is a reach, and the speedometer is digital-only; no needle! The CVT transmission takes some getting used to, but I've had it in my '13 Accord and don't mind it. The LX model does NOT have the Lane Change, etc. stuff, and has buttons vs. touchscreen for the audio, etc. panel. Both drivers love it, son says he wouldn't mind driving it :-)

We are very happy with it and believe it will bring us many years of usage. Really like how smooth it is, the seats are really comfortable and the air conditioner literally freezes us out and we love that.
