Used 2014 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
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.

I'll never get the Honda mystique
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.

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.

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.
is it too late for 2015
I hope the 2015 CR-V model will put the AC vents like they were in the 2010 model. I also hope they can change the rear view out of the vehicle, if possible at all. Otherwise, perfect vehicle.
