My first car purchase

Jennifer Moore, 11/05/2019
2014 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

I bought a certified pre-owned 2014 CRV with 70K miles, and this car drove wonderfully. It cut like butter through the snow, and never had any issues in weather. I put about 20K miles on this car during the 7 months that I owned it. Unfortunately, I got in an accident that totaled the car (airbags went off, nothing that had to do with the car), however, after being hit in the rear left side, and being spun around more than 360 degrees, my air bags instantaneously went off, and I was absolutely fine. I walked away from the accident with a scratch on my left arm. This car is so incredibly reliable, and I went right back to Honda and got another one. I loved every minute of driving this car and would highly recommend it to anyone. I drove for work, and for pleasure.

Here in florida this ride is perfect! no issues at all. everyone that comes inside it passangers all love it! i get compliments constantly. have had since 0 miles . now has over 10k and no issues. go in on time for all my oil changes. For those bad reviewers, its probably since they live in harsh snowy areas but here in flat florida its perfect! A/C cools fast in this hot florida weather , smooth ride always, weve taken it for long trips up and down the florida coast and not one peep. highly recommend this little SUV for anyone who has dogs or kids. My dogs love the cargo space ! Recommend getting the weather techs floor liners to protect the floor rugs. plan to have my baby for years to come!

2014 Honda CRV Disaster

This was our 4th Honda automobile. It was also our last. This model was extremely noisy, rough riding and technologically insufficient. The navigation system was not user friendly and in fact our salesman couldn't show us how to use it. Very poor quality compared to previous years. Traded it for a 2015 Ford Edge. Bye, bye Honda.

My 3rd CRV

This is the 3rd CRV I have owned. Jimmy Sears at Autonation Honda in Chandler, AZ was my sales person and the experience was exceptional. Now I am the proud owner of a 2014 CRV. I have owned two others previously and traded them in to drive other vehicle I thought would be THE vehicle for me. Obviously I have come back to the CRV. In my opinion it is tough to beat the convenience and reliability of these vehicles. They give you the comfort of a sedan with the convenience of an SUV and the gas mileage of an economy car. I'm done experimenting with other vehicles. I have my CRV and this what I plan to drive from now on.

Our CR-V has been a disappointment since the day we drove it (new) off the dealer lot: The Intermediate shaft has rattled all the time (but remarkably our local Honda dealer is never able to replicate). The blower motor for the a/c fan never worked right, finally dying right after the warranty expired. The gas mileage is pathetic -- my father's V6 engine in his Ford Escape got comparable mileage to the 4-cylinder CR-V. Cargo space is lacking compared to other vehicles in this segment. We rented a Rav-4 one time while another car was being fixed after an accident. The rear capacity, which appears smaller, is significantly bigger. Technology is lacking: Since a recent iOS update, the bluetooth can no longer display the name on the Caller ID on phone calls (yet it manages to when displaying text messages). (Honda blames Apple; yet my friends with other cars from other manufacturers don't seem to have the same problem after an iOS update). The power locks are failing at four years and 80,000 miles. Replaced the right rear door and back tailgate in January 2018. It is now March 2018 and the rear tailgate has failed again. (There is no option to open it when the locks fail.) All in all, I'll never understand why people pay extra for Honda. The car isn't well-built (fit and trim rattles, it's noisy on the road -- good luck listening to the radio and driving at highway speeds). The service department at Honda dealers in the Dallas area, where I live, leave a lot to be desired. All in all, you'd be better off with any other SUV.

Happy with reliability of CRV. However, there were 3 things I loved about my 2010 CRV that are now gone. Floor to roof cargo height reduced by 8" (have to put bike on slant now). Open floor area between front seats (great for computer bag) now filled with a useless console. Middle folding rear seat good for putting skiies through and 2 passengers - gone to 2/3, 1/3 split - now skiies and only 1 passenger. Plastic grey trim on top level trim - ugly and cheap. So my favorite things about car gone and I am in work around mode. Probably will look at other alternatives. Hoping the tires on this car last longer than the 30K on 2010 model. Honda has turned a "Sport utility" vehicle into just another "family" vehicle.

2014 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD with Navigation Review

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.

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.

Very disappointing MPG

Colorado Gal, 04/30/2018

4 of 5 people found this review helpful

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.

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.

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.

Our 2014 CRV is still a very nice, reliable and economical car. We have had a number of Hondas and find them to be a good value. After 4+ years this car remains as new. My original comments still hold. We will keep this for a long time because the new Hondas have terrible technology; touchscreen that is confusing and a keyless fob - a non starter for us. The CRV has excellent seat comfort and seating position, great visibility, good ride and handles well ... as long as you don't drive aggressively. The sills are low and there is a lot of front door frame headroom and width - a good thing for over 60's getting in and out. It has a real key - not a fob and starter button, a good and secure thing. We just did a 1400 mile trip and got great highway mileage (33+). As with all Hondas, there are minor annoyances that mar an otherwise great car. We considered similar Toyota, Mazda and Subaru models and liked the CRV best overall. There are issues (see below), but all cars have issues. There are not many negatives. A major negative is Honda's boring color choices: gray, gray and more gray - come on, this is not North Korea. (update) Honda still provides a North Korean color palette. Come on guys, how about bright red?? The other annoying things is that the cruise control is useless - works very poorly. (Update) Cruise control is still useless. To sum up, Honda makes great cars, but drops the ball on specific annoying things.

This car is like driving an appliance, it's drives OK and gets me where I want to go but has very little character. Fuel economy declines drastically in cold weather. LX seats are not very comfortable after an hour. Rear visibility is very poor, the backup camera is not a solution to this. The stability control catches me by surprise, applying brakes in the middle of a turn when I am not expecting it. The front seat head rests have an aggressive angle that doesn't allow me to stretch and straighten my neck. I wish I had bought the Forester with true AWD. I also wish I could turn off the A/C function that automatically comes on in defrost modes, it is not necessary in my dry winter climate.

I finally decided to buy a Honda CR-V, not becaue I liked it any better than any of the others I had seen, but because I had grown tired of looking and it had most of what I wanted and it seemed to be fine when I took it for a test drive. The navigation system worked with easy commands which was great. After I purchased the vehicle the most annoying was that the sun visor didn't extend so I had the full sun in my face. The ride was very rough and the seats were very uncomfortable, and I had back issues by the end of the week. I traded the vehicle in and got a 2014 Nissan Rogue that I now love!

Honda is a name synonyms with quality, durability and bang for your buck. Of course no vehicle will be the right one for everybody. No matter the maker. The CR V is no exception. It’s not perfect. I love my CR V. Maybe it’s not a power house, then again I’m not planning any races. The interior materials are better than my old Toyota. I haven’t experienced any breakages. Say what you will, I have owned this marvelous little SUV for 7 years with no issues other than standard maintenance. It’s well thought out and considering what you get for your money, I think Honda spent the money in the most important areas a fine drive train, multi safety features, and durability. And if the CR V lacks in a few interior niceties who really cares. Keep your eyes on the road not the lack of burnished aluminum, carbon fiber or fine wood trim that would make Rolls Royce jealous. It’s a tool that tries to be as rounded as it can be in it’s price segment and does a very good job. Next time buy a supercharged Range Rover for 100k it will give you everything you desire; leather heated full power seats with memory each with its own heating and cooling feature rear picnic tables and TVs in the head rests, rear climate controls and cigarette lighters and ash trays for all passengers, adjustable reading lights and wool carpeting. And a class leading 12 ml city, 18 ml highway this is all wonderful stuff if you can keep it out of the dealers garage long enough to enjoy it. One word... Honda!

If you want reliability, economy and comfort, this is your vehicle. I commute daily about an hour each way to work. I live in the back hills of Ohio, with very steep hills and sharp curves. I never worry if my CRV can make it. If you just do the normal maintenance, as you would on any other car, this car will last you for a very long time. As far as things that could be improved, there is no fast setting on the windshield wipers unless you hold the control up. A CD player that only holds 1 CD? When you turn on the heater, you must remember to push off the AC-WHY? It comes on automatically anytime you use the climate controls. These are minor things, but overall, I love the feeling I don't have to worry about the reliability.

The CR-V was okay. The interior was kind of cheap. Had to have the heating system flushed due to a blockage. Thank God the car was still under warranty. Too much road noise and the seats were not comfortable after spending long hours in the car. Gas mileage was acceptable.

I was originally looking for a small truck to replace my 2000 Xterra. But the gas mileage was not to my liking. I them started looking at some of the smaller SUV' s I settled on the Honda CRV for my needs. I pull a small utility trailer for my business and never pull more than 1000 lbs. The 2.4 liter engine is powerful enough for my needs, I still can get over 30 mpg pulling my small trailer. I just finished taking a 1200 mile road trip. And using the ecomode got 34.9 mpg. Ride quality, handling and comfort were great. Update 2/2016 I now have a extra 10,000 miles on my CRV since my last review in 2015. I still think it makes a good small truck substitute. I have hauled around numerous large bulky items by lowering the back seats. And hauling as much as 1200 lbs. in the small trailer that I tow to get materials. Gas mileage has been no lower than 26 m.p.g. in the winter around town using the mandated oxygenated gas, to around 36 m.p.g. on long summer highway trips. I am very pleased with this Honda.

Local dealer needed more used Oddys. Traded in the 2010 I bought from them and they credited me 100% what was left owing on it towards leasing a '13 CR-V. Couldn't be happier! Increased my fuel economy 75% and lowered my monthly payment by 50%. Albeit I won't own it after 36 months, but usually I buy a new car every 3 years anyway. So far, it has been a wonderful vehicle. Standard features that one used to have to buy a Cadillac to get! The only complaint I have is the analog clock display on the center IMID. I love the looks of it center-dash like it is, but I find the inclusive digital time display insulting. I can read a clock, I don't nee the digital display along with it!

this vehicle is the noisiest vehicle I have ever ridden in, I suppose it is road noise, but then it shutters frequently at25-30 mph so perhaps transmission issues also. dealer could careless, says nothing is wrong. this is my wife's car I cannot stand to ride in it thinking about how much it costs and how totally unpleasant the ride is. You cannot even hear the radio on the highway. Avoid this vehicle. My Camry is so much more pleasant.

2014 Honda CR-V EX AWD early impressions

I’ve had my new '14CR-V for a couple of weeks now and put just over a thousand miles on it, a mix of in city and highway. Driving a Camry Hybrid for more than 7 years, I loved the gas mileage, but there was a lack of cargo space in the small truck. So rather than get a somewhat more spacious sedan I thought I’d try out an economical SUV with tons more cargo space for my stuff, and trips to the beach, while not sacrificing people space when my family comes visiting. Cargo space is abundant in this airy, fun to drive car. It's easy to fold the 40/60 rear seats down with a simple pull of a lever. Mileage range is 22 to 34.8, avg 28.7 MPG. This is an all round great Compact Useful Vehicle! Update at 2-1/2 years: This car is still doing well. Very efficient at 29 mpg overall with a tilt towards highway driving. It has never quit or not started. No failures or breakdowns. Service very reasonable. I love the utility aspect of this car, and when my boys come visiting, it is spacious for them. The only quibbles I have are the rear visibility is poor, the rear camera helps but the screen is so small you have to really pay attention to avoid hitting the cars or people that appear farther than they really are. The technology in this model is a bit dated, the Bluetooth sometimes randomly disconnects my iPhone6S, then reconnects. If I were to buy another I'd opt for rear sensors, and the better safety technology of the higher grade models.

Avoid this SUV, I thought I was getting a reliable Honda since I've been loyal to brand for many years. Honda has always been a good car never had problems with older Honda's but this SUV has been a headache from the start 5 years ago. It has a big hesitation problem that is very dangerous and has almost cause accidents multiple times. A faulty parking brake light on the dash that goes out, dealership never can fix it.Defected Rims that leak air which is not covered under warranty $300 for the rims happened multiple times once when I was on vacation very inconvenient. Brakes rumble making it very unsafe at times. High Oil consumption after 50,000 miles. Battery needing to replaced almost every year. All this is very inconvenient and unsafe for a manufacturer that is to be the best, I'm going with another brand this was my last Honda I will ever own very disappointing to once what was a great car company.

I'm having the same issues as everyone else, VTC noise on startup, tire monitoring alerts for no reason. It recently started making a loud screeching noise while driving at high speed on the highway. This lasted for about 30 sec then went away like nothing had ever happened. Mentioned all this to the dealership only to be told that everything seemed fine. This is my first Honda. I bought it on Honda's reputation. This will be my last Honda. I don't need the headaches.

We bought this car based on the great reviews. After owning this car for almost 4 months, I now suspect that most of the reviews are written by the dealers. This car is a huge disappointment. It drives like a golf car. A little bit of wind on the highway, and you better be holding on to the steering wheel with both hands as the car blows all over the road. Just drove it today in about 2 inches of snow and actually got stuck coming out of a driveway - unbelievable. The rear visibility is awful and the back up camera is useless. The interior is cheaply made. And the exterior rear of this car has so much cheap black plastic around the window - it is really quite ugly.

I leased my vehicle on October 11, 2013. My vehicle has almost 2000 miles. I have been leasing Honda vehicles for over 10 years and this is my first SUV. The ride is smooth and the road noise is low. When you need that extra pick up when entering a highway it responds well. The fabric seats are comfortable and my family say the back seats are comfortable too. The interior menu display screen is small. The trunk space is good. Overall I am very happy with my Honda CR-V.

Went from an 08 Odyssey LX to the CRV EX. This is my 3rd Honda. I've always loved how Honda engines rev up so smoothly. This one is great, and shifts quickly. It's ride is firm, but normal for an SUV. Lots of storage in back, and plenty of leg room for all. Update: My 2014 crv has had zero problems. Hope the newer models with the cvt, trans shift as well. At 41,000 miles it is like new. The all-drive is great,, rain or snow, and keeps the tires's. wear even. CRV is a perfect all-around vehicle. Update..at 65,000 miles still a great car. No problems at all. Same tires and breaks. Still fun to drive. Hope the new ones are as good. At 78,000 miles same great crv, same brakes and tires. Still using Mobile 1. Nothing is wrong. Amazing car.

My biggest complaint is with the navigation system, which isn't user friendly and the Bluetooth has horrible reception. I can hear the caller ok, but they always say I sound like I'm underwater. I've had it into service several times and been unable to get it fixed, so I haven't even used it in over a year. $3000 upgrade is useless! I've since discovered the cars with the best Bluetooth our Cadillac and Toyota, then Kia. The transmission has jerked from day one, and I think it would be nice if the back hatch had an automatic button.

Hipsters Will Be Driving These After All The 240 Wagons Are Used Up

Is it cool? No! Is it real and authentic? Absolutely! The 240 Wagon of our times. Cheap, cheerful, reliable, durable, functional, safe, just like the 240 wagon's were. Will it impress your neighbors? No, but there's no shame in driving it regardless of your demographics. An upper middle class suburban white person can drive one without shame and have the smug knowledge that they did not fall into the douche bag "luxury" car trap - cue the hipsters in a few years. Averaging 29mpg in mixed suburban / highway driving. I use the "econ" button mainly because it allows better control over the throttle. Very happy overall.

I usually by new Toyota, this time i decided to try the Honda CRV. I am very disappointed with the quality. the car has only 3000 miles and the ceiling is falling apart, coming off, the dealer won't replace the car, promised repair and Honda customer service were not helpful, did not care , said they will document it?? I asked for a manager but to my surprise no one was available? Yes that was Honda customer service in USA??? ManI should not go to Honda , I should have stayed with Toyota, never had issues and their customer service are much better.The quality and price were very good too.

The Honda CR-V was my first (and last) SUV. And although I appreciate it's roomy and comfortable interior as well as it's technological amenities, the driving impressions where not equally satisfactory. During my first road trip I found myself in the "worse case scenario" while making a high speed (70 mph) avoidance maneuver, which brought me to the brink of the ditch. Thanks to the stability control system, and some luck I guess, I was able to keep the vehicle on the road, but after that quite scary experience I would never trust this, or any SUV for that matter... Another annoying feature, at least in this particular year, is the constant downshifting while driving long and steady uphills, especially when loaded. And even if power seems good enough in most driving conditions, it's not meant to be a hauler. All in all, my SUV experience ended in a total loss after my wife rear ended another and bigger SUV. No injuries, fortunately... After that we found the perfect family vehicle in the form of a Station Wagon which serves the same utilitarian purpose with much better driving dynamics ... P.S. I've been on the road long enough to realize that the main reason why most people buy SUV (the bigger the better), is because that false sense of safety, enhanced by having a prominent view of the road, which only makes SUV the most Stupid Ugly Vehicles on the road...

Go for a crossover with a better warranty! I barely had my car 4 years and the AC compressor is already in need of repair or replacing! And no help whatsoever from Honda or the dealer! This is the first time I’ve ever bought a Honda and the LAST time! I’ve always bought American cars in the past and have NEVER had these issues! Live and learn! The ride is bumpy and the interior noise is annoying. Very cheaply made inside. They definitely need to take note from Ford and Chevy on their interiors! Two cup holders in the whole front seat! VERY DISAPPOINTED in Honda!!!

Bought my 2014 Honda CRV brand new, had 2 miles on it, when I drove out. I bought the car after lots of study, looking for a reliable vehicle that would not nickle and dime me. Well..... 41000.00 and I have had nothing but problems. I have had to replace starter twice, and now the ac compressor went out, my mechanic, could not believe that with such low mileage and the regular upkeep, which he has performed all. I am ready to dump this car, so disappointed that it ended up being such poor quality. CGonzales

I have mostly enjoyed my 2014 Honda CRV .... perfect size .... good gas mileage. BUT it does not have a quiet interior ride. When driving, it almost sounds like a back window is slightly down. I had top of the line Michelin tires put on .... hoping that would help reduce noise. It didn't. If I were to buy another car soon, it would not be the Honda CRV due to the interior noise factor.

If the TPMS illuminates, either put $1.50 in BP air pump and do it yourself, or, if convenient, drive to dealer and have him equalize pressure. This should be free. Need better sun visors, maybe builtin extensions. Good car

I have been looking for a car for the past 2 months after my Mazda Protege of 15 years died. I wanted something a bit classy, good on gas, but with bells and whistles. I looked at the Lexus, gorgeous car, but the price was too high. I looked at the Acura MDX and the gas mileage was not all that great. Then I looked at the Honda CR-V, after my first test drive I was hooked. It handles very well, I sit a bit higher so I feel safer and with all the air bags I know I am safe. It gets 28 mpg, which is awesome!! The navigation system and XM radio make me feel a bit spoiled! I also love the fact that when I alert my car that I am arriving at night the headlights come on, just comforting. Luv it

Dealer quality was a major factor here: this was 3rd Honda purchased new - all of which came with a "Platinum Package" providing free oil changes, state inspections and other great discounts. Have learned that package is no longer offered ( too good a deal). Maintenance costs of all Hondas I've owned has been very low, so far with this CRV its been the best. Love the car in all aspects except for some noises: rattles and jingling in the back and annoying plastic clattering noises in dash/windshield area. Dealer has not been able to find easily, and I'm not willing to tear the interior panels apart to find what it is. Other than noises, I have high hopes that the CRV will last to 150K miles or more.

Our 2014 CR-V has had nothing but computer glitches from the day we bought it,it is in the shop again as I write this! 10 attempts later and the car is still not working correctly,So far we have sent a certified letter to corporate to lemon law this vehicle but we just keep getting the "let us fix it " song and dance! It has come down to having to lawyer up and demand a refund or replace the car...Tired of trips being cancelled and being inconvenienced and PAYING for a car that has obvious factory issues! One would think Honda Corp. would be more than compliant with doing the right thing! Very disappointed! .....UPDATE...HONDA CRV 2014 still having TPMS light problem! Sticking to my original review! Never buying HONDA again!

I owned a 05 Cadillac SRX for a few years, and repair and dependability cost demanded trade in. I brought a Honda CRV-LX and it has been a great car. I have not had one issue with the car so far. The dealership was wonderful and appears to be helpful. Oil changes, paint protection, warranty suppose. I will keep you posted on this car as the years go on. This winter the car has exceeded my expectations by millions, and has been dependable, with the exception of a battery problem during the winter (AAA battery) which I am sure if it had been by Honda it would have been still perfect. My CRV is pretty basic with not a lot of Tech equipment, all and all. I trade the Honda in a few months back, the car held its value, got more than what I paid for the car.

tpms would go off any time we would be on the highway for about half an hour. followed reset instructions, after checking air pressure in all 4. all good til next highway excursion. my wife is an around towner, who does not drive the highway. took it 2 dealer, 2hour service wait, nothing stuck in a tire , they said they put the correct pressure in all 4 and reset tpms again should be all set..your tire gauge must be off, I was told. next highway excursion, same issue, called them was told do not reset, or check pressures, bring it in. they did a hard reset on the computer and said should be allset.a bit irritated at this point took right to highway speed and had it back on in 10 miles. drove back in an hour later, and told them this is the third time for this issue.. please fix. they found a service bulliten and a soft ware update for the computer..so far no more light.. update on tps woes..they did the software update and up til now it has been trouble free in this department..

This is my second 2014 Honda CR-V, the first one was absolutely perfect, so I traded it in to purchase this one with a preferred color and upgraded interior. The only issue I have is with the VTC Actuator making this terrible grinding sound when it starts on cold days. I'm still looking into having it replaced. Hopefully it is under warranty.

Bought to tow behind class "A" motorhome (2014 was last warranted year) and used to explore local areas while traveling. We lived in the motorhome for 5 years while we explored the U. S. and Canada. It was a great experience and the CR-V was a great part of that. Now over 140,000 miles with no major or unexpected maintenance needs. It is still a smooth quiet ride that will handle bad roads with ease.
