Got mine from Honda of Ocala. They wanted $35000 for a LX. Going elsewhere next time. That's the Honda location that Edmunds shows available models for on the sidebar automatically. Just finished a trip with my LX and I got 32 mpg using cruise control and econ where as my wife got 35 mpg with econ and without cruise control. Go figure. It's nice being higher up than a sedan. Comfortable trip. 13 hours each way.

Too old for this car

I have only owned this car for one month, which is why I could not rate all the items listed. The one thing that I do want to complain about is the headrest. It is installed at an angle which is not acceptable to me no matter what I do. I have adjusted the height of the car seat, the steering wheel, the angle of the seat itself and the headrest. I cannot find a combination that allows my head and neck to remain at a comfortable angle, or if I do, the back seat slopes away from my body and does not give me the needed support. In the past I have had a serious problem with pinched nerves in my neck and back. I fear that this car is simply not suited to my physical and medical needs. I did drive the car for about 15 minutes before I decided to buy it. At that time I didn't realize how difficult it would be to adjust the various components to fit my physical needs. In all of my 60 years of driving I have never encountered this problem and I am disappointed in Honda.

This car is very reliable. Derides nicely. It just looks good. The one negative is that it only has one glove box. My 2008 headed to glove boxes.

They won’t stand behind what they sell. Grinding when starting the vehicle, Honda won’t address it

Really? Honda?

I bought my 2013 CRV new. I had no problems with it until the 70,000 mile Mark. The time chain rattle. I discovered while doing some investigating that mechanics have determined that this will occur if the engine oil runs low. It causes the chain to stretch due to lack of oil reaching the top of the engine on startup. I immediately checked my oil level. I change my oil every 3000 miles. I changed my oil 800 miles before I discovered that my 70,000 mile CRV was 1.5 quarts low. It is not the CVT actuator or the timing chain connected to it. The issue is high oil consumption in the amount of over 2 quarts per 3000 miles. This is a manufacturing defect. 70,000 and burning over 2 quarts every oil change. Immediately after I filled the oil reservoir, the rattle nearly disappeared. Again, the real issue is oil consumption at low miles. Honda needs to remedy this one. I could understand oil consumption on a 150,000 mile engine, but not 70,000 miles. The other issue is the transmission the shutters from 25 to 40mph. It becomes violent at times. The service manager at Honda states a service bulletin has been published. The FIX; a reprogramming of the trans computer which is free. But if the problem continues, the torque converter needs to be replaced and that problem ain't free; $2000. Honda states the service will be discounted. Shame on you Honda. Toyota screwed 1000s of loyal customers with the premature frame rot. Now Honda has followed in lockstep. I will stick to cars made before 2008 that have proven track records for reliability. Screw Honda!!!
