Very happy with my CR V LX

I find the CR V to be super comfortable and it handles wonderfully on the road. Very roomy all around. I especially like the generous cargo area.

Nicest Car I Have Ever Owned

Retired. Car is only one I own so I use it for everything. Having fun driving it. Lot of interior room. You have a lot of features but it has an open feel to it. Parking is a breeze.

GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY

This car exceeds my expectations for a non-luxury SUV. Has almost all the features of luxury SUVs, for $20,000 to $30,000 less the price. Decent HP but this is one item I say is lacking compared to luxury. I looked at almost every model on the market - and so far, very happy with Honda. Last cars driven were Audi, BMW and Mercedes.

Really Beginning to Like This Vehicle

We just purchased this CR-V. We put a lot of internet research into buying a compact SUV. After looking at SUVs from Toyota, Nissan, Mazda and Honda we settled on the Honda. The Honda had the styling and features we wanted. The comfort is excellent. The seats are not the narrow sport seats in a lot of the cars. There's room to move about a little bit so you're not cramped in the seat in one position. Seats are a little stiff to me, but still are comfortable. We got the EX-L model, so the electric driver seat has 4 way lumbar support which is really nice. One of the nicest things about the seats are they adjust automatically to who ever is driving the car after setting the presets. I really like this feature. Interior is well appointed and finished. Layout is good with most buttons etc. within easy reach. I like how the dash display shows just about any information you want. And most things, not just the radio, can be controlled from the steering wheel. Performance is okay. Acceleration is mediocre, but I didn't buy it for racing. It will hold it's own on the interstate. Just don't expect it pin your head back when you accelerate from a red light. Gas mileage is the best of all the compact SUVs and our experience has been right on the mark - 33-34mpg on the open road. Value is in the eye of the buyer. The EX model gives the best bang for the dollar. We got the EX-L model because, well, my wife wanted leather. The added features on the EX-L (as opposed to the EX) are not really worth the added +$2500. Exterior styling is also in the eye of the buyer. In this day, ALL compact SUVs pretty much look the same. The Honda looks as good or better than most of the other brands. We haven't really had the vehicle long enough to speak to it's reliability. I just hope it lasts a long time. I like the vehicle.

Consistently reliable and high performing.

Right color and make. Very similar to our last purchase. We expect the same dependable performance that we have received for years. Would like the front passenger seat to be power-controlled since we travel with handicapped individuals.

Excellent Car

The car is spacious, drives & handles well, and I'm very pleased with it. However, I do not like the auto idle stop system. Luckily it is easy to turn off, but you have to turn it off every time you start the car.

Great cars

Comfortable ride. My husband who is disabled, has trouble getting in and out of it, but says it is comfortable once he is in it.

Love it

We just got this Honda CR-V Touring. I will be the one doing the most driving and so far I love it. Response is quick. I've been using the program that turns off the motor when you are at a stoplight and I think it is great. The color is a beautiful blue.

Radio defective on every 2020 CRV

The radio makes a loud buzzing sound when driving by every cell tower. Gunn Service said EVERY 2020 CRV has a defective radio so they would not fix it. So now I have a car with a radio that I can’t use. Honda Corporate would not help either.
