Great small SUV. I love it.

I'm a senior and traded in an old Acura TLS for the CRV. It's the perfect height for seniors to get in and out of. Fuel economy is really great especially when running in ECON mode. It's the perfect size for me.

She'd be 5 stars if she weren't so noisy

Although we have had her for just 2 weeks, and we are still learning about her, we find her to be a good addition to our family. In fact she is just about perfect for an all around vehicle, provided you aren't looking for high end performance. But she does have a down side. She is noisy on the highway. Tire noise makes you pump up the volume, whether you are having a conversation or listening to the radio. If Honda added some sound insulation this would be a 5 for us.

safety features are great

The forward collision warning is great. An oncoming car made a sudden left turn and before I had time to react the brake came on. It is comfortable and the driver side mirror has literally no blind spot. The lane departure warning is a nice feature. There are 2 types of cruise controls. I had a BMW X5 and I am really pleased and surprised with the great value features. I am getting on average 28mpg. sometimes on longer drive 36 mpg

My Last Honda

This is my fourth crv, and Honda has ruined it. It vibrates, hesitates, and has a general lack of power. The trim and interior look cheap and the new electronics suck. The superficial design flaws completely obscure the fundamental design flaws. I will be dumping this piece of garbage as soon as I can, as Honda will only fix problems that are life threatening.

Vibration problem

My brand new 1026 has a vibration problem (so no the CRV vibration issues have not been fixed). It idles very roughly. When we brought it to the dealer they just told me that's how the car is and that there is no fix. The transmission also seems to have issues. Black carpet is also terrible, they should offer more carpet options. The noise while driving is pretty loud, you can not have a conversation with someone in the back seat. We chose the CRV over the RAV4 because we liked the styling of the Honda better-I should have known better.
