2013 Honda CR-V EXL CERTIFIED

Update 8/13/18. Still love this car, no real problems at 68000 miles. Oil, brakes, fluids are the only thing I’ve had to do. Great MPG, parking is a breeze with this car. Backup camera is very helpful backing into tight spaces. Heat leather seats and sunroof are a must have. Update: Have had the car one year now, it has been just what I expected, no repairs, only oil and transaxle fluid replaced. It has all the convenience and technology that I need. Comfortable ride, good gas mileage, and dependability. Still looks new. Favorite thing is the heated leather seats (great this past winter) and the sunroof. Had remote starter installed so seats are warm when I get to the car. Original review: Decided to look into certified preowned and am glad I did. Looked at a couple of dealers without much success. Ran from dinged up to smell of smoke, then looked at Herb Chambers in Westborough Ma. They had a much better selection at what I think was a better price. 12 month bumper to bumper and power train to 100000 miles. The car was very clean as if this person that leased it was going to keep it, they put 4 new tires and replaced the brakes. The car rides like new, my wife has a 2014 that we bought new. There isn't any difference really between the two except for color. On my last trip from Boston to Bartlet NH and then to Cape Cod we are averaging 30.7mpg can't do better than that with a car this size. We can load an awful lot of stuff in the car and still have plenty of room. Best Buy for the buck I think. Update, 2019. 80000 miles Still great, looks new, only regular maintenance like oil, brakes and the like. I sometimes wish something would go wrong with it so I would have an excuse to buy the new model..

I am 6'2", 290# and can fit into front or back seats without banging head or knees. Vehicle is silky smooth in performance, quiet at high speeds, nimble in handling. Turning radius very tight despite room in front/back/cargo areas. Styling to me exceeds others in class. Interior is well laid out; controls are intuitive and easily reached. Driving a flat 30 miles home from dealership at 55 mph in eco mode, instantaneous mileage dropped below 30 mpg only twice. Me likee. Don't think Honda engineers could balance all elements of form and function better than they did. I am retired and no Honda fanboy, but vehicle is exceptional.

Shopped around for a couple of months before deciding to purchase a new Honda Suv My previous one had horribly uncomfortable seats. That was 8 Years ago. Have only had this one two days; so far no complaints on comfort. Overall great looking; good fuel economy, love the technology. Very roomy. Good visibility. My only concern at this point is road noise. I would classify it as excessive. I've had a Ford Expedition and a Honda Pilot; both were 4-wheel drive and much less road noise. I'm going to try my carpeted floor mats to see if that helps otherwise the car may be going back to the dealer on day number three.

I was so looking forward to purchasing my new car. I did a lot of research and came to 3 top cars. I chose the CRV and I think I made a big mistake. It did not help that the dealer delivered a very dirty car to me and when I called to complain the salesman would not assist me. The finance guy tried and tried to get me to put almost $2,000 on my loan for an extended warranty. It would have been nice for someone to show me what the so called ten computers do instead of trying to upsell me so hard! Now when I drive at night the exterior lighting is so bad that I almost always have to drive with the high beams on something I have never had to do with other cars. Very bad experience!

This car lacks power, it is nice looking but it came defective. at 500 needed to be repair for defective components that made the check engine light go on, then i found water in the trunk. The car needed to be sealed and after the next rain, there is water again. Not recommended!! Although the sticker says it may give you 25-30 miles per gallon, it never does. The max was 22 mpg

I did a lot of research for a reliable, efficient and safe vehicle. The first year was great and now the cons list seems to be growing. I've spoken to other 2013 CRV owners and they are running into a lot more problems than us - a lot that had been listed here - that I'm afraid we will be running into soon too. This car is in immaculate condition and things just keep happening for no reason. I bought this new and went from a loaded Chevy to what feels like a stock SUV. Pros: Trunk space Exterior look Safe Gas mileage Cons: Very heavy doors for a smaller person Speakers have terrible sound quality Steering wheel started flaking and falling apart less than a year into owning Crunching sound when first starting Rear view camera just broke for no visible reason Cheap feeling interior - leather and plastics No garage door button Manual passenger side seats Heated seats only have one zone - back and seat instead of each having its own function Dual heat/AC is ineffective - one zone controls both no matter what the temp difference is No pickup LOUD road noise Thin feeling doors when it's cold - not sure how this works since the doors are so heavy Manual hatchback closure - I'm under 5'2. Closing the hatchback when it's dripping and covered in winter can be messy

Great Vehicle for What it Is

Had purchased the sports wagon I had always wanted about 18 months ago - a 2012 Audi A4 quattro turbo Avant. Loved the way that car looked and drove. But a few months ago I had back surgery and getting in and out of the Audi became problematic. Between back issues and not getting any younger (57) I started looking at small SUVs that had to meet certain criteria: wouldn't cost me anything after sale/trade in of my Audi; very comfortable seating; regular fuel and good mileage; lots of technology; high reliability. The CRV has all that. It's not great looking and nowhere near as much fun to drive as the Audi, but what it does well it does really well.

I love my 2013 CRV LX, fuel mileage runs 26.3 miles per gallon over 40,000 Miles, I've gone cross country and I call beans on the guy that says it gets 40 mpg. My only complaint is the loud road noise inside..

Bought this vehicle new in 2013. Since I lived quiet a distance from the dealer, I had most of the servicing done at a local garage with certified mechanics. Kept the maintenance up to date and parked it in our garage. Living in Canada, I put snow tires on it every winter. The car was dependable and other than having to replace the battery there were no major costs other than the regular maintenance. I traded it recently for a 2024 CRV B. Just the base model since we weren't interested in any bells or whistles. The gas mileage on the 2013 was exceptional, a combined 7.9L/100km. Decided to trade before any major expense may occur although I expect that it should be good for another 80000km. There was 230,000km (approaching 150,000miles) when I traded it. Comments from the dealer and sales person that I dealt with was that they didn't expect to see a 2013 that was in such good shape. Their comments didn't seem to increase the trade-in value by much. Sorry to see it go, but we all age, some more gracefully than others.

Honda Crv Ex-l 2013, 2016 and now a 2019. All of these vehicle are well made and a delight to drive. Vacation every year lots of miles no issues. We always felt safe driving in these vehicles. Can't wait to drive my new 2019 on a long road trip.Honda really upgrades their products year after year with the customers safety and comfort in mind. Go buy or lease one and see why. Also my dealers service department is the best.

This was our 3rd CRV. Had a 2007, 2010 and this 2013. Dependable, ran well and really did hold its value. We put over 105,500 miles on it. Never needed anything but oil changes, brakes, batteries and tires. We had a fairly bad wreck in the 2010. Guy at the body shop asked if we were in the hospital. We were sore and had a few bruises, but were fine. Things are built like little tanks. Just traded the 2013 in on a Civic with a Turbo. Turbo is fun! :-)

I bought a used CPO CR-V, it's pretty much what I expected. It's a practical, roomy small SUV that is easy to drive and relatively efficient. It rides comfortably, a little choppy but nothing too bad. It's quiet. I expect it to be reliable and safe. A couple of points: 1) It doesn't come with a programmable homelink (garage door) button! You'll either have to use an opener or get something aftermarket. Maybe it's an option now but mine doesn't have it. 2) Engine is a little underpowered, steering is numb. Don't expect to have fun or love this car. But, all things considered, I would definitely recommend.

speedometer not accurate

I bought it new in 2013. It is a 2013. I am 6feet two inches so it could have a little more leg room. In order to go 50, 60, or 70 miles per hour you have to go two and one half mph faster on the speedometer. This is a fact checked by satellite. My last ford and dodge were exactly right on. It supprised me really as that was the case in the 50 and 60's not today. The other thing I dislike is the flat tire indicator will only hold 5 tires in the cars computer and I am the type of guy along with thousands of others, including my honda salesman, who buys four new wheels and snow tires and put them on myself at the first snow and then of course the car says I have 4 flats so I ride with the light on. All new cars are this way i I imagine. You have to buy 4 senders and have honda reprogram. By the way I let the air out of one tire just to see and the flat tire warning light did not come on untill ten psi. You could be riding with 15 lbs. What a bunch of balony. Norman , Mcveytown.

we purchased out 2013 CR-V a year ago. it has been a solid performer, however the gas mileage for the class of car has a lot to be desired. We like the roomy interior and the design of the vehicle. It defintley has the room to take four to five people confortable, and the cargo space. we use it each weekend to travel back and forth to the NJ Shore. It has the space to hold everything without any issues.
nothing but problems so far

6 month old crv doesn't start when its cold. One dealership checked it and said everything was ok. I went to a different dealership when it happened again and they didn't even check it, the guy just leaned back in his chair and said "that's normal, the crv has a small battery". The vehicle also sits lower on the left side than the right side. The dealership looked at it and told us something was definitely wrong with it. They took hours trying to figure it out then told us it was normal when they couldn't find the problem. So far we've had the CRV for 8 months and its been in the dealership several times. The body panels weren't even aligned properly when we bought it.

Nice automobile, but for an EX-L it is bare bones equipment. Put 5500 miles on so far. Acceleration has gotten better, mileage good but the seats are awful. I have never had such a sore behind in my life. My wife and I are of small build and the seat is firm right in the middle where your tailbone rides. My tailbone feels like its on fire in just ten minutes of driving, hers too, either seat. Its going to the upholstery shop soon. If he can't fix it then it will be sold. Who designed those seats. They must be like the accord seats everybody complains about. Called Honda, they don't seem interested in helping me out, see the dealer. UPDATE: Sold this car because the seat could not be made comfortable. Took it to a shop and took it apart, it is designed to be hard in the middle. A.C. was marginal especially on a hot day, no right side blind spot mirror, wiper control moved down for ON position, rear cargo only had two plastic hooks to secure items in back, poor towing abilities, Odd window lock operation, must buy Honda racks to use roof rack $$$, resale was not very good, Acceleration was poor on a hot and humid day with the air running, it seemed as though the air did not have a max. ability for cooling quickly. Bought a Ford and we like it very much. I would rather have my Ford serviced than drive that miserable Honda just to say we have a Honda. Now I know all that car rating business is a sham. Who could miss all these issues with a car that is supposed to be so great and it was the top trim level Honda offered. Also forgot to mention that with the Honda we had to buy leather seats and a sunroof, about $3,500 more just to get a powered drivers seat. Don't have that problem with the ford. Got rid of it around 15,000 miles. Got rid of the Honda a long time ago. It was not as great as all those biased car critics claim.

First we test drove just about every SUV made and kept notes on accessories and price of each one. I never gave them my name just took their business card.Also noted if the sales guy was high pressure. Our choice was narrowed by comfort, style, accessories and cost. When it came down to it the Honda was by far the best deal. Everytime I changed from cloth to leather and back or navigation no navigation, AutoNation Lewisville had lots of choices. Our sales guy Jim Ross gave us the grand tour of the vehicle before our test drive. There was no pressure, we asked him questions and he let us talk through the differences.

Owned this car for 15,000 miles. The seats are hard and crowned in the middle. Tried to fix them with the help of an upholstery shop. unless you are very large or very young you will not like these seats. They get very painful the more you drive this car. I believe the car critics are a bunch of biased reviewers to have missed this glaring short coming. How could anyone miss the fact that these seats are terrible. A friend at work wife has a CR-V and he says the same thing. Bought an Escape and it makes the Honda look and feel like it was a ten year old car. On a hot day we had to put the fan on high and turn temp to 65 and it barely worked. hot day with people in car and it would not accelerate very well. Plastic hooks in rear to hold cargo, wiper switch goes down to turn it on, right side mirror has no blind spot mirror, towing is only 1000 lb., no package to upgrade, can't use roof rack without buying more Honda parts. Odd operation of the window locks. the honda may be reliable but you will hate the car the whole time you drive it. Compare some other vehicles before you buy one of these. There are nicer vehicles, even if you must pay a little more. Had to buy the top trim level just to get a power seat. $3500 just to get a power seat. What a rip-off. Typical foreign car. Top trim level and yet it had very few features. Their reliable because they don't build anything new and there are very few intuitive features.

We had the first generation of the CRV and loved it. When it came time to replace it we looked at both Ford and the 2013 CRV. Based upon experience and Honda being reputable, we chose the CRV. We despite having the car serviced at the dealer don schedule and afterwards at a local mechanic, we were always told that our oil was dirty and that it should be changed regularly- it had been. No one at the dealership ever said anything about the problems with the 2013 engine. Last year at 70,000 miles the timing chain had to be replaced. It was just out of warranty and Honda refused to do anything. A month ago the timing chain needed to be replaced since the links were again stretching. Mileage 88,000 and another $1,500.00. Called Honda and they refused to acknowledge any issues with the CRV despite multiple reports of this problem on line. No more Hondas. The parts have gotten too expensive with the tariffs the attitude of Honda not being willing to help out when they know there was a defect was it. We bought a Ford. No more Hondas!! They are going the way American manufacturers were years ago when their quality suffered.

Terrible Full Beam Headlights and Cold in winter

I bought the 2013 CR-V because of how much I like my 2010 Odyssey. There is absolutely no comparison because the CR-V is so inferior to the Odyssey (sadly). Problems: 1. Full Beam Headlights are hopeless. The area in the immediate front of the car and at the sides is far too dark. It's almost as if the headlights point straight ahead and are elevated. It's a road hazard driving at night in the country where there are no city lights. Honda dealer replaced bulbs but no difference. Honda and Dealer simply deny there is a problem. 2. Car temperature inside is unbearable when temp drops below 20 degrees F.

I previously posted that initial 2013 CRV gas mileage was good, not great. I may have underestimated Honda. Just returned from a 300-mile round trip to Ocean City, Md., with 4 adults and cargo area piled up to rear window with food and clothing. With engine warmed and driving a flat stretch of US 1 between Newark, DE, and OC--and keeping a steady 60 mph in eco mode--computer said I was getting 34.2 mpg (no stops or hard accelerations). To make sure there was no advantage in descending elevation, I ran the same route in reverse. Computer said I was getting 33.9 mpg. If computer is accurate, this mileage suggests very high engine efficiency --and better-than-EPA estimates. Impressive.

Honda CR-V AWD "Creak - Rattle - Vehicle"

Many owners report mysterious front-end "Creaking" sound, which dealers, mechanics or collision repair people cannot find or fix. Mine is no different. After spending more thab $5,000 to repair front end, the creak is still there. Honda obviously mis-designed this vehicle, but aptly named it a CR-V, an acronym for "Creak and Rattle Vehicle. The transmission also is lack-luster, omitting manual electronic shifting through four gears, useful on mountain roads (Toyota includes this vital feature). The vehicle is also under-powered and gets worse mileage than it's Toyota competitor which boasts a powerful V6. I know so much about both of these vehicles, because we own both. Do yourself a favor and avoid this mysterious Creaking wagon, which even Honda cannot figure out.

I bought my first CR-V earlier this year - a 2013 with 62k miles on it. It sucks! I've had the SUV for 6 months and have just put 5k miles on it. The suspension is super stiff making for an uncomfortable ride and you feel every nook and cranny in the road. If you EVER get car sick this is NOT the vehicle for you. The fuel efficiency is decent, I'm averaging 25/32, and I like the amount of storage space. In 14 years of purchasing vehicles this is my most expensive and worst riding vehicle I've ever bought. Add to it the fact that the factory moonroof, an option I did NOT even want but all the dealer had for used inventory, started leaking a few months ago and I'm stuck forking out ~$850 to fix it. The back-up camera has been ok but the bluetooth features suck for phone calls. Any time I get a call coming in I have to immediately transfer it off of bluetooth or the person on the other end says it sounds like a screeching static noise that drives them crazy. I've had several folks complain about this noise when on bluetooth. This issue takes away from the feature of having bluetooth for calls. :( I swear by Honda & Toyota vehicles all the way as Japanese craftsmanship has been unbeatable for me however this CR-V has really made me second-guess ever buying another Honda again. I expressed my dissatisfaction with this car to the dealer within a week of purchasing and they told me there was nothing they could do about it to remedy the situation. Very disappointing. At least Toyota hasn't let me down, yet. I knew I should have gone with a Highlander. :(

According to a local Honda dealership “it holds its value.” In fact I’ve been offered $nicely above Kelley Blue Book valuation. It has just over 50K miles and has been service per the manual (receipts on-hand).

I can't drive this car on a trip. The headrest is tilted so far forward that I can't get comfortable. I have a neck ache for a week after a 300 mile trip. My advice: Drive this car out on the interstate for at least 15 minutes before you buy it. I wish I had. Also uncomfortable: The surface of the steering wheel is slippery plastic. It makes my hand ache after 45 minutes of highway driving. Again - DRIVE this car before you plunk down the money. Make sure you fit in it comfortably. I didn't drive it enough. I regret it. I should have gotten the Forester. It's too bad that the car is so uncomfortable. Otherwise I'd keep it forever. One more time: Do NOT test drive this ca

I purchased my car at a very non customer friendly Honda Dealer Jeffrey Honda Roseville MI. Terrible customer service. I was given a very dirty brand new car even though I repeatedly told them that I could wait for tomorrow. They were so intent on selling me the extended warranty that I was given basically zero instructions on how anything worked on a 2013 car that was seriously different than my 2003 car with regards to technology. I never went back to that dealer again and the new dealer is excellent in customer service. They even fixed the moonroof sealant ring that was up an inch when I purchased the car and the dealer I bought the car from said that was normal-really. People need to check out the dealership reviews before purchasing from them. The closest dealer to your home may really not be the dealer to purchase from. The car has a lot of cabin noise while driving. Also the back of camera is of poor quality. The Ford Escape is much crisper and clear. I never use the backup camera because of the poor quality. My 10 year old trade in was so much quieter inside while driving. I would tell people considering this car to take it on a longer than normal test drive in traffic and to test the quality of the backup camera. I do not know if I would purchase one again because of the poor experience I had at the purchasing dealership and also it is noisy inside the cabin. I would not purchase another Honda CRV. The backup camera system sucks. The Ford Escape same year is light years ahead of the Honda. The noise in the cabin is unbelievably loud. Again I would not repurchase this car. It doesn't help that the dealer was so terrible.

Consider twice before you buy Honda. Year 2000 before is great, but not any more. plus the poor customer service.

I like the fact that it has decent tech, if you ignore the really bad quality backup camera. Driving around town it is fairly peppy and handles decently. I hate its highway driving characteristics. It sways terribly with a slight crosswind. The steering is numb at speed. The seats are flat and lack support. The noise vibration and harshness is much worse than Hondas reputation would lead you to expect. I really do not like the car. I would gladly trade some reliability for a more tolerable ride.

Find a well kept vehicle with low miles and save a few dollars. This vehicle meets expectations and will last if taken care of.

All you really have to know is, it's a Honda, and it is one of the best designed and quality built vehicles in the history of the industry. Mechanics and those in the know are aware of this. The only other company that comes close is Toyota, but their products are second best and why settle when you can have the best, a Honda. They are wonderful automobiles!
battery keep on dying, replace relay and etc...

Battery keep on dying, dealer is lazy(bring it in for a repair, battery died and they just jumped it) and do not want to repair the vehicle. It is as bad as it get. Many Honda dealer just put normal oil(not 0/20). It is very hard to find a good Honda dealer that know how to fix their car. Car still work, put in a larger battery.

Bought this CRV in Jan 2014. Has about 104k miles on it now. Power is OK with the econ button on, but good with the econ button off. Steering and Road quality is very nice to compare it to the previous gen. Bluetooth works great for my 6s. Very comfortable front & rear seats for long road trips. Cargo room is amazing! Honda's AWD system is great but not as good as Subaru's AWD system.

After owning a 2011 and 2002 CR-V prior to our 2013 and loving them, this 2013 has truly blown us away. It is an amazing vehicle! The ride comfort, seats and visibility are perfect. We just went on a 4500 mile road trip and the CR-V was flawless. We averaged 29.2 MPG for the entire trip in total comfort. There isn't much this vehicle cannot do. The cargo space and versatility are perfect. The NAV system works great, the heated leather seats are phenomenal and the fit and finish is perfect. Honestly I cannot find a negative thing to say about this vehicle!

0ur 2013 EX CRV has been practically perfect. No repairs in 1300000+ miles. The only annoying issue was the rear hatch was very slow to open on cold days. Good balance between ride and handling. We have carried all kinds of stuff in this thing. Very good use of space and the very convenient seat folding setup was much appreciated.

We purchased a new CRV in 2002. I was not happy with the seats then. Thought for sure Honda would have improved them by 2013. We just purchased a 2013 and they, in my opinion, are worse that the 2002! We had an Odessey and the seats are amazingly comfortable. Why can't they get it right on thr CRV?? Had it for three miserable weeks then traded it back in for another Odessey. Come on Honda!
