2016 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Overall, I'm reasonably happy with my new CRV, which replaced a 2013 version of the same vehicle. Reasonably happy, since we bought 2 2016's a month apart. However, the electronics package (no navigation) is a muddled, poorly designed and implemented step backwards from our 2013 Civic and 2013 CRV. In the 13's, push a button and say a name to make a phone call to someone in your speed dial list. Easy to use, and nearly always got it right. In the 2016's, it's not only cumbersome, but it usually comes up with the wrong name. At best, it provides a list for you to pick from on the screen, which involves taking eyes off the road. If these functions are important to you, examine them closely and consider whether you are willing to put up with the shoddy behavior of the Honda system. Compared to the system in a Subaru rental car I drove for a few weeks, Honda has a long way to catch up.

Our 2nd CRV after owning a 2008 CRV-LX. The 2008 was trouble free except routine maintenance and one A/C clutch repair which cost $700. Other than that was a trouble free car. We traded it in for a 2016 EX as we wanted to have the bluetooth and backup/blind spot camera. Everything else is a plus in the EX model. We couldn't have been happier with the Honda CRV. Some folks have complained or mentioned about the CVT vibration issue. There is none whatsoever. There are a few things we miss from our 2008. The center dash had a few cubby holes for phone etc which are not present anymore. Also above the glove box was a secondary store place which is no longer present. But these are minor inconveniences we can adjust to as there's plenty of storage space in the car. Kudos to the Honda designers who've improved the car since 2008 and keep doing so. ------------Update------------ 1 year and ~15K mi later, the car is still going strong. Routine oil change done & tires rotated. We noticed an airflow issue in the air conditioner wherein it appears to put out more air on the passenger side than the driver side. Took it into Honda for service and no problem found. For the next CRV, we'd like to see more integration with the iPhone and the onscreen display, especially the navigation from iphone to onscreen very similar to the current Honda accord.

basic maintenance is only oil change and multi-point check for first 3 years,if your mileage is less than 10 K/year. Thus, there is no need to get a prepaid 3 yr. service contract if you have a good mechanic. Anyway, service check-up does not include complicated electronics which are still under warranty.

Honda CR-V Touring Safety Issue

This is really Scary! My wife and daughter met with an accident (no other party involved!). While traveling on a freeway (slow speed) in a carpool lane the vehicle started pulling right (tires flattened) and front airbags got deployed! My wife was unable to see the road (airbags block visibility), the only option left was to somehow stop the vehicle, she steered the vehicle towards the center divider. Good Samaritans blocked two left lanes, lives saved! Recently Honda has been having Quality issues, please think twice before you buy!

DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND. I bought this car on my birthday late May 2016 so far I drove in 5 months 13,000 mile and it broke down with over heat 150 miles away from my home at midnight, I got crazy because I never prepare for this situation with a brand new car. They towed my car to the local dealership and I had to call my family to pick me up and arrived home 5 am.The dealership took one and half day and found the problems and can not find the parts and tell me how long it gonna be to fix it(at this review is writing). THE WORST PARTS IS HOW AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMERS SERVICE TAKING CARE OF YOU. The dealership told me that they have loaner car for me but I have to come to pick it up by my own, I call Honda car customer service at 1 800 999 1009 and spoke with Stephanie and asked about reimbursement for car rental from my home(150 miles away) and she said no and sorry. She told me that I should tow my car back to the dealership near by my home, it my fault to bring the car to local dealer that night, how I know that because when the tow truck from Honda arrived and he give me two local dealerships to choose.
