Used 2015 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Update on previous review
We now have about 1800 miles on the CRV and we still like it a lot. The MPG has gone down to about 24 in mostly city driving. However, it has been very cold the past several weeks here and I expected our mileage to suffer. The vibration while stopped at traffic lights and during acceleration is still there but it does diminish greatly in sport mode. The vibration is clearly due to the very low RPM the car tries to maintain when you stop or accelerate. I can live with the vibration (or the lower mpg in sport mode) as long as the vibration does not impact reliability.
Disappointed in Honda
Bought a 2015 Honda CRV-EX in late Jan and the vibrations have only gotten worse. Don't notice it when I'm on highway, but in-town is a nightmare! Honda won't replace because they say it's not a safety issue, only an annoyance. I should say so!! A brand new car should not drive like a 10+ year old car. I am so upset that I purchased this vehicle and will have to pay more to get rid of it. I expected SO much more out of Honda. Huge disappointment!! I want my old Honda back.

Great car but needs work
The overall interior of the car is good. The back seats give more room than the older models. The middle counsel arm rest is comfortable and there is a lot of room. But there are some issues. There is a hard vibration to the car when you are at a complete stop, so hard that the front seats shake hard and it is very noticeable. Also the a/c does not work well on hot days. Hardly anything comes out of the main vents when you have the feet and top on at the same time. I think I would trade it in if I could but I'm in a lease.
annoying vibration
I bought a 2015 Honda CRV EX and did the test drive at the dealer, did not have vibration problem, but when I was on the way to the dealer to get the registration, the car vibrated when it stopped at the traffic lights (brake on D). I told the dealer about it, they said Honda is aware of the issue and is trying to find a solution. I was very disappointed with the brand new car.
GREAT car but ...
I bought a 2015 CR-V 2 months ago. On freeways and when moving the car is smooth, quiet and very pleasant to drive. Happy and fluffy thoughts are however blocked by 2 things. The vibration when in D, not moving with a foot on the brake pedal (as in, when stopped at a light) is very annoying. Clearly, the idle speed (~525 rpm) is close to a resonance frequency which transfers too much energy into the driver and the passenger seat. The passenger seat shakes and the steering vibrates and the driver feels like he's getting quite an unpleasant whole-body massage. The second is the buggy Honda Link suite of apps. Change music and use the navigation app at the same time? You're out of luck.
