CR-V CONS
I was surprised to see that road noise was not included in the CONS review. This does not bother everyone but it does bother me. Solution, I purchased sound deadening material and installed it from firewall to back. This helped. Then I did the doors. Big improvement but still road noise from wheel wells. I'm 6' and weigh 240. For a long trip the seats and noise are just tiresome. And if you are on a curvy road the CRV doesn't handle great. Bottom line, this is not a driver's car or a guy's car and I guess that;s why my wife loves it.
Impressions after 5 weeks
After driving an Integra for 12 years, it's quite an adjustment switching to an SUV. The back up camera in en excellent tool, but should not be used exclusively when in reverse - there's still no substitute for looking out that back. The city gas mileage is way lower than I expected: 16 mpg is the highest I've gotten and this is driving with conserving gas in mind. Highway is more acceptable at 26 mpg. I got this in the winter time and it is colder than usual. The heater in the CR-V takes several minutes to get going and provide heat. Just as I start to feel comfortable, I have arrived at my destination (work commute is less than 15 minutes.)

I HAVE one 2014 Honda CRV
It has a peppy 4 cylinder engine that's economical AND utterly reliable. Consider this to be a 200,000 to 400,000 mile auto. For RV's most importantly this year model, 2014, is the LAST year CRV that can be towed 4 wheels on the ground without modification to the engine/drive train. Simply add a towing assembly that you enjoy (Blue Ox for me) and go. My reason for owning two is simply that I tow my Honda behind a large diesel motor home. Should someone wreck one I still have the other. (and before you ask, yes they are the same color *G*) My only complaint with this vehicle is that at Interstate speeds the road noise inside is high. Bluetooth hands free cellular usage. Bluetooth allows usage of MY music from my cell phone or use XM radio.

I am satisfied with everything but...
The Bluetooth technology is outdated. It is not universal to all devices.

Honda sells a name, not quality
Arrived to dealer from factory with a defective windshield- replaced. Battery leaked acid after 7 months - replaced, stealership tried to charge for battery service - battery leaked acid and it had to be wiped - failed, warranty service. Uncomfortable seats, no arm rest on passenger side, impossible to vacuum debris magnet upholstery, carpet, worst materials ever, plastic is prone to scratches, no hand brake, only parking brake pedal too low, seat height adjustment lever in a bad spot, touch with the thigh every time get in and out, seat lowers and needs to be raised. The more i get in and out the more often it happens. Paint prone to scratches. Radiator is open, no grille, not possible or difficult to custom install, MPG combined stop-and-go bumper to bumper or highway normal conditions low 20's. No maintenance schedule, have to go by the stupid maintenance minder. Nothing like my previous 2004 honda. This one is my last.
