A good SUV that can be improved

Expect Theee types of Noise 1) Aerodynamic noise due to height. I am sure Honda can reduce this noise by improving insulations on roof. 2) Tyre noise can easily be reduced by changing to a better quality tyre instead of Continental tyres. This tyres also make it feel as if SUV is out of wheel alignment and keeos pulling in one or other directions. 3) Transmission noise. Its because of new CVT type transmission.

My wife and I bought this car and have put 2000 miles on it in one month, we love it so far. It is comfortable, and runs very nice. Our speed was around 75 mph most of the time, we averaged 28.3 MPG. We have noticed it has a blind spot on the drivers side. I would like to thank Jay Wolf Honda for selling us this car. UPDATE: We have had the CRV now for two years, and love it. It is getting 32.6 MPG, have had no issues with it. The car has over 20,000 miles on it.

Not worth the money

The vehicle rides a little too noisy. It lacks power. But is very annoying because the ac sends a stale odor into the cabin after sitting for a few hours. Honda has not been able to fix and tells me to turn the ac off. That's not acceptable. This is our 5th Honda. No major issues before. They all have lacked power and had several squeaks. It usually took me a few months to fix the squeaks... then ok. Both dealer and Honda do not stand behind vehicle. Worst vehicle ownership experience in my life.

A Great Car - Horrible Comfort

I will never buy another CRV again unless Honda decides to fix the interior car seat design. After owning the car for 6 months I now have a permanent shoulder and neck injury from driving this vehicle. The headrest is so far forward that it causes curvature right at the base of the neck into the mid spine area. As a result of being constantly curved you begin to develop next train with creates muscle tightness in the neck which is now resulted in tingling and numbness in two my hands. I tried turning the headrest around and felt infinitely more comfortable but it's not safe because there's no support in case of an accident. An additional problem is the bottom part of the seats themselves even at 5 to the seats are too short. As a result you don't get any support behind your legs. And this creates neck and back strain as well as you are required to support your own legs throughout the drive with just your bottom on the seat. I drive a car to drive and go places and this car has been miserable. Another reason not to ever buy this car again is the road noise. You can barely talk on your cell phone in this car when you're on the highway because the road and wind noise is so loud. You cannot listen to music comfortably in this car because you have to blast it so loud in order to be able to hear the music over the wind and road noise. When I bought this car I was thinking great gas mileage reliability and safety. But I didn't think about Comfort because I assumed a car company like Honda as reputable as they are would have created seats that would have been comfortable.

The gas milage is the best of ANY suv out there. It handles great! very comfortable driver's seat and passenger seats. Be sure to look back left and right. The camera in all of the new cars show straight back. Watch for cars and pedestrians.
