Ugliest car ever and worst sound system ever

I absolutely hate this car! It is very ugly and the speakers are horrible! If you want to roll down the windows and listen to music....think again, no matter how loud you turn up the radio and the bass, you will not hear the radio with the windows down. This is a very awful car, and I would not recommend it to anyone. If you want to be happy, buy a different car.

Serious safety flaw in VSA system of CRV

I was in a severe accident, because of the VSA system. I was on the onramp and there was a sharp turn, when I tried to comply with the turn, the VSA took over and turned the vehicle the other way, and I hit the guard rail, almost totalling the car. Be very careful I was lucky to walk away, with any major injury. I was slow enough that the airbags did not even deploy.

This is a very good option to who want a Compact-suv, Good on comfort but could be a little better , all season car. Well, seems that the engeneiring could be a little more strong but is enough for the 4 cylinders present on this car. I recommend this vehicle !

This is my 1st Honda ever and I am trying to figure out why I haven't bought one before this. This is a very fun vehicle to drive nice quite smooth ride. The price on it can't be beat. The only thing I don't care to much for is the comfort of the seats, they are firm, need to be a little more plush just like the vehicle is. The vehicle is a Very Classy Smaller SUV. I highly recommend if you have a family of 4 plenty of space for all. We esepcially love the picnic table and the sunroof. 4 1/2 stars for us (again just because of the firmness) that's all.

Great SUV for a great price

Excellent SUV in terms of safety, efficiency, reliability, performance, handling and comfort. Safety maximized by dual front, dual side, and dual side curtain airbags; vehicle stability assist, all-wheel drive, and ergonomically sophisticated design. Accelerates well with the large bore 4 cyl engine, getting 22 city/27 hwy mpg, able to turn on a dime, but with a solid handling in turns, hills, wet weather, and snow. On road, they look small, but inside, they are cavernous - amazing! The roof rack and running board options give it a sporty, functional appearance. Very nice SUV.
