Used 2014 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Remains a Great value - Small things still annoy
We've had this for about 66 months and 48K+ miles, It replaced an older Honda Crosstour - glad we did. The CRV is comfortable, highly maneuverable, great visibility and very economical for an AWD. The controls are easy to use. No touch screen, which we found a deal killer in the new CR-Vs We would consider this car again if we were in the market. In late 2018, we purchased a new car - not a Honda, regretfully. We eliminated the new CRV because of the gas in oil issue with 1.5L Turbo engine and the info center. If the reliable 2.4 L engine were available in higher trim lines, we would have probably gone with a 2nd CRV. The main things that still annoy are the dysfunctional cruise control that simply doesn't work and the poor shift points in the 5 speed transmission - especially in eco mode, which we never use. Other than that, it continues to be a really great car.

Thumbs down on CRV
Tinny and unsafe unpredictable driving in New England weather. Slid right through a red light today - braking and AWD useless - no problem though for the little Prius in front of me! This vehicle has been disappointing since day one and is very overrated. MPG is 22.5 at best. Does not hold its value- I owe more than it is worth . Owned Jeeps for 20 years and loved them. Did not consider another one due to Chrysler Corp's and local dealership very poor customer backing and service. They do not stand by their customers or honor warranty's so that is why I did not consider doing business with Jeep/Chrysler . Definitely not impressed with Honda though. Probably go back to Jeep - at least I will feel safer while driving in New England winter weather and will not depend on customer backing by Chrysler or dealership.

Pros and Cons
Pros: Its great to sit up high in traffic so I can see well ahead. The electric seats are very easy to adjust. The car has good power and responds quickly. The back-up monitor is well placed, is easy to see and understand, and helps me keep track of anything behind the car. Steering wheel adjusts in so many ways that I feel very comfortable driving. I like the car, but I miss my previous car. I bought this car so I could tow it behind my RV. I couldn't tow my previous car 4-wheels down behind the RV. All of the following Cons are based on differences between this car and my previous car (a Prius). Cons: The steering wheel gets in the way of viewing the speedometer, dials, and problem indicators, so I have to take my eyes off the road and bend my head to see how fast I'm going or to make sure there are no problem indicators lit up. The speedometer is not digital, so I have to guesstimate my speed. The ride is rougher than my previous car, and feels bouncier. With my previous car, I never needed to use a key. I could just touch the driver's door handle and the car would unlock as long as I had the key in my pocket or purse, and the car had a push-button start. Now, I must have my key in my hand to open the door and to start the car (which means digging in my purse to find the key). Just a slight inconvenience, but difficult to deal with after 7 years of the previous car.

ALWAYS IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED !!!!!!
To all the doubters out there who have their little hangups about Honda CRV .. you are clueless...maybe its because you are so used to driving your domestic junk ! The Honda CRV is the best SUV in this class that money can buy period based on just quality and dependability alone!!! Not to mention it's comfortable, quiet and it just plain works.....body craftsmanship has vastly improved and interior quality is superb; mine EX-L has heated power leather seats and auto climate control just to name a few of the options that are far superior than anything i have ever driven and mileage is very respectable 30 mpg highway all things considered for an AWD.......... Not going to win any drag races with it nor am i looking to but after 200,000 miles and 10 years of daily use this will still be on the road trouble free while the rest of the other junk will be in a repair shop or a scrap yard. It also holds better resale value after 5 years than most garbage that is 2-3 yrs old. At 54000 trouble free miles this 2014 continues to impress in the brutal cold and snowy Minneapolis winter with 30” this month alone, never once stuck and started right up with remote start at -36F. Honda continues to impress and build quality cars and that is why they’re at the top. All else is just sheet metal.

Love Honda's
That with 26700 miles on it all it will need in the next 5000 miles is a set of net tires. The only reason I am filling out his is for the chance to win $100. I am waiting for a few of friends to see if they can sell their cars and when they do I will sell them this Honda and then I will buy a 2019 Honda right now I am waiting for all the 2019 Honda's to come out, this is how good my cars have been I sold my 2002 Honda CRV AWD to my brother youngest daughter and as of 7-20-2018 she has 302,000 miles on it and all it has been done to is maintence, but this 2002 all it has ever been put on was the best Mobil 1 full syn. oil, and flush out transmission and refill with full syn. fluid as you can see my brother kept this 2002 as perfect as you can.
