Proud owner of a CR-V

2010 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I have my cr-v for 10 days and still loving it. I test drove a lot of vehicles in my search for a new car and when I drove this car I knew it was the one. The ride is smooth and handles great. And love the red color and so much room - wow.

Favorite Features

I really like that it has good safety features, all the front back and side air bags makes me feel a little safer. Just love the Tango red color and the smooth ride.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe different material on the seats, more cotton or softer feel.

Terrible with battery

Review

I have a 2009 CRV that has had to have a battery jumped three times in the last three months. I have only owned it for three months. Interior lights work in a magical way that are left on and your car will not start within an hour of one being left on...I had a Jeep Liberty before this and never had this problem. I have called AAA three times...it is very sensitive and battery is weak. If you carry strollers in the back that may hinder full closure that you feel it is closed...but may not be complete...get ready for a jump. If you turn on internal light and think it is off, but is not, get ready for a jump. Not a car for those transitioning from vehicle that automatically turns lights off.

Favorite Features

Nothing... I hate this vehicle.

Suggested Improvements

Turn the lights off automatically... cars with much less options and money do this... this car is very sensitive to battery.

Best crossover

Review

We compared all the crossovers and the CRV came out the winner. We are very satisfied. Had a '97 Merc Villager, and the CRV is a quieter ride with a lot of nice features. 4 cylinder has plenty of pep. Still getting used to the smaller size, but the overall handling is very good.

Favorite Features

Instrument panel layout, plenty of room.

Suggested Improvements

Softer seats.

Satisfied choice

Review

I returned my 07 Accord SE lease and bought a new 2010 Honda CR-V EX AWD. Odometer now reads 200 miles. The car is very comfortable, lots of room, and build quality is top notch. However, this car lacks power. CR-V is on little heavy side powered by 2.4L 4 banger. I haven't tested AWD capability on wet or snow traction yet. One aspect that I really don't like is the Grade Logic Control system that locks into lower transmission during hill climbing and descent. My mind thinks it should up-shift in certain point but it holds down the transmission too long, and shift isn't smooth as Accord. Overall, I made a good choice and I really like the car. I'll get used to GLC in 3 years. =)

Favorite Features

Exterior and interior quality and design; versatility; sliding rear seats; reclining rear seats; numerous storage compartments.

Suggested Improvements

Grade logic control, V6 availability, smoother transmission.

2010 CRV is much improved

Review

I carefully compared all the CUVs in the marketplace and came to the conclusion that the newly upgraded 2010 CRV is the best. It is more quiet, more peppy, more solid, and has a reputation for reliability. I appreciate the new 180 hp ULEV motor, the high quality interior materials, the chrome front grill, the quality feel of the switch gear, and the very good standard sound system. It is also good to know that since it is a Honda, one does not have to worry about excessive depreciation. I would not say that it rides as well as a typical sedan but it is close enough. Interior ergonomics are very good. The design would be better if there was some way to remove the back seat for more cargo.

Favorite Features

Gauges include a trip computer, maintenance reminder and compass. The upholstery and fit and finish is excellent.

Suggested Improvements

I wish the CRV could tow more than 1500 lbs.

Honda reliability

Review

A little noisy ride, good handling, good braking, nice interior and spacious, good gas mileage without the need to use premium gas. Honda engine may not be the best in class on gas mileage or the quietest but is one of the few who will go all day long at full throttle without giving up. Honda is for humble people who consider reliability and quality before performance. Being the best selling SUV on the market right now means people thrust Honda built.

I LOVE My CRV!!!

Review

Bought a 2010 ex awd, got the new crv color polished metal metallic/black interior. I just love this vehicle. Engine is smooth and quiet, ride is excellent. Just all around awesome, was close to buying a RAV but I wouldn't be able to live with myself with the rear tire on the back. Wake up Toyota...CRV looks good performs excellent, I highly recommend.

Favorite Features

Ride, engine, good gas mileage, interior. Just fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

USB port in ex would be nice. Put front mudguards standard. I'm a center console guy, the center fold down tray gets a little annoying sometimes... doesn't hide stuff. Somewhere to put change please without it bouncing around.

Review

I have wanted a Honda C-RV for a while now, and I love the 2010. It gets good gas mileage, and has more horsepower than the 2009. It is a perfect car for all people. It is very comfortable at a reasonable price.

Favorite Features

The speedometer is great! I love the navigation...and the camera on the back when you go in reverse.

Suggested Improvements

NONE!!!!

Better than I had hoped

Review

I have owned many Honda Accords and recently traded an 07 Accord EX 4 cylinder. I am very pleased with the purchase. The CRV has great acceleration and many standard features that I enjoy. There are many little improvements over the '09 model that really add up. The new 180 hp CR V engine is very smooth, quiet, and willing. I test drove the new Subaru Outback and Forester models. This Honda has better fit and finish, a more refined drive train, and a high quality standard sound system. On my first tank of gas I am averaging 24 mpg - mostly city driving. Since it is a Honda it should be very reliable and have excellent resale value.

Favorite Features

I appreciate the new instrumentation which includes a trip computer, outside temp gauge and compass. The upholstery materials are now more upscale. The switches all have an Acura quality feel. The front grill and bumper styling with chrome accent now looks less awkward.

Suggested Improvements

I wish that heated and painted mirrors were on the EX package. A power seat with adjustable lumbar support would also seem appropriate. I would love to see Honda bring a diesel version to this country.
