The 2014 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD with navigation is a very nice SUV. I can see why it is ranking 4 to 5 stars. I bought this one about a month or so ago and my wife and I both like it very much. We traded in a 2012 Toyota Rav4 4x4 Limited. We enjoyed the Rav4 and it served us well. No complaints. But the one we had did not have built-in navigation like this Honda and what you get when you get the Honda navigation is voice command capability for many things, like your heat & A/C, phone, and supposedly navigation (but like most guys, I haven't read the manual, so I need to learn how to do that). Lots technology. Very smooth ride. 23.1 avg mpg to date. Hoped for more. But like the car.
Overall good car but with many flaws.

I've had the CR-V for 3months and 5000+ miles. It has a relatively comfortable ride, a Honda typical handling which is excellent. The noise level is very good. And the engine is responsive. But the sun visors are a joke, it can not telescope so it can not shield your eyes from the sun when you swing it to the side!!! The back seats can not recline so it will be a torture for the passengers on long trips. I would not buy this car if I have a chance to do it over again.

Update on Sept. 22, 2019: reliable (if somewhat boring) transportation going on 6 years (approx 37,700 miles)...no problems to date, just kept up on oil changes and other maintenance items (I replaced the air filter and cabin air filter myself); had local dealer do brake fluid replacement in the last year...the only issue I can report is the car has developed a rough idle when sitting still...havent mentioned this to the dealer to see if there’s a fix for this minor problem. (Original comments): Purchased in November 2013 and put almost 2500 miles on it...mileage is improving and last tank was 28.5 with city and freeway miles. This is my third Honda (1980's Accord and previous was 2006 Pilot). All have been extremely reliable and good value for the money, if somewhat bland in driving. The CR-V adds more tech toys with iPod integration, bluetooth connection for my iPhone, and streaming audio which I havent played with yet. Abundant interior room to hold my bikes and surfboards (similar to Pilot although somewhat smaller). Highly recommended but wish I would have test-driven the Suburu Forrester turbo to compare the performance.

Very disappointing MPG

I read a lot of reviews and did a lot of research before deciding to buy the 2014 CR-V in late 2014. I had wanted a navigation system, heated leather seats, and sunroof and the model at the dealership had it. All in all it's a quality vehicle, solid, spacious and comfortable, drives and handles well, and I feel safe in it. Living in Colorado I wanted a 4WD or AWD to navigate winter weather. My challenges with the vehicle begin with the horrible gas mileage. I was expecting 25 mpg in town but have never gotten that. In talking with my dealer, I was told to try different brands of gas (don't buy at certain locations etc.) and to try with the Econ button both on and off. I actually got worse mileage using the Econ button. I have only driven on a few longer trips (maybe 120 miles) as the Honda is my commuter car and has low mileage. After 3-1/2 years and 23,500 miles, my overall average is only 19.9 mpg! Definitely disappointing and not at all what I expected from a Honda. Another complaint is with the navigation system. I find it very cumbersome to enter a place or address and once when I searched for the closest grocery store, it gave me the location of one that I knew had been closed for several years. Therefore I never paid to upgrade the system and instead use a GPS program on my phone that's much more user-friendly. Lastly, I found that using the voice commands to do anything - dial a phone number, turn down the temp, turn up the fan - required too many steps to make it convenient to use, so I never use it. I can definitely recommend the 2014 CR-V overall and maybe mine's a lemon as far as gas mileage, but you could forego the extra cost for the navigation system.
not what we expected

We did not notice the road noise while the salesman drove with us and talked during the drive. We are also a disappointed in the lack of options included. We did not realize until after buying the car there is not even a homelink control for a garage door opener. The ride is quite stiff and the car seems to have a vibration above 60mph. We have taken the car back to the dealer for them to evaluate but no luck in solving the problem. We bought the car off the showroom floor and did not drive the specific car before purchase.
