I bought the new Honda CVR 2016 EXL, thousands on dollars. But it still have the vibration issue. Take care when buying this car.

Cannot TOW on the ground!

From the original CRV thru 2014 these vehicles could be towed four wheels on the ground. NO LONGER! The new transmission will not allow the CRV to be towed with four wheels on the ground! The new CVT (transmission) does make for good acceleration but I wonder how well it will last. I am very unhappy with the Radio etc, controls and the touchscreen on the EX (and Touring) models. It is counter-intuitive which is very unlike Honda generally. The only plus is that the touchscreen is also your camera screen and its quite large.

Shopping for mid size crossover

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

I am generally a big fan of Honda and Acura. But a few things have me shopping against the CRV Touring. First, the Navigation system is pitifully low resolution and the interface is just stupid. It's a big step backwards from my former 12 year old 2004 Acura TL and way behind current offerings from Hyundai, Mazda, and others. Second, Honda's exterior styling with the CRV leaves much to be desired. Again, compare to the Mazda. The CRV Touring wheels look like the designer was on drugs. This is the same company that gave me an S2000 in 2001 that still looks good and crisp today?? These are dumb little things in the big picture, but it's equally dumb for Honda to ignore them. If not for Hondas great reliability and resale, I'd go with the new Tuscon Limited or CX5. I may end up in a CPO X1 for three rungs up from all of the above in driving dynamics; but if Honda would get their act together in ergonomics, it would make my choice easier.

I loved my 2015 Honda. This is why I bought a 2016 Honda. The only thing I didn't want this time was the navigation system. Instead, I bought a $89 Garmin, which out performs the integrated system, and saves a lot of money. Thank you Edmunds for assisting me in my purchase.
