GOOD: back up camera; blind spot camera [ except when sun glares]; collision avoidance; lane change warning; better acceleration than my 2013 model BAD: adjustable Cruise control slows car down around slight curve on highway when a car is in other lane.

A real stunner

Three if us test drove a RAV-4, Rogue and CRV together. Two of us bought the Rogue. The CRV was a big surprise as we were expecting great things. Performance was sluggish, compared to the others, the ride and noise in the rear seat unacceptable and the touch screen which controls everything a nightmare. Our experienced sales person took 5 touch strokes to turn on the radio and select a station! We couldn't live with the integrated touch screen system for music, climate control and navigation. When we asked about a CD player the salesperson touched a button and the entire integrated screen popped out from the dash and rotated 90 degrees exposing the CD slot in the metal work behind the screen. Try managing a CD change while driving....I think not. Looks like a repair nightmare if you buy this vehicle. The reason for the high rating on technology is that it has outstanding features and lots to offer tech minded folks. As far tech functionality it's a big looser.

Great vehicle! Honda holds its value so well, I got more than book on trade. Reliable, economical, and all you need in an everyday car, and then some!

Excessive oil consumption

The oil red light was on when my crv had 15 percent oil life, so I checked the oil level with a friend, Chuck. We were shocked by the extremely low levels of the oil. We added 2 and more qts of oil to the engine, and the oil reaches the minimum mark of the gauge. I went to the Honda dealer for help, and the service man said he could not do anything because I resetted the data. I need to come till the oil life to 15 percent. He also said that “the engine will consume one litter every thousand mile.” I doubt what he said but I went back for another check when 1000 miles later (they did a oil change). They claim the oil consumption was normal. The oil light was on again a couple of months ago, I added 2 quarts to engine. I did not see the dealer because I don’t trust them. I don’t know if this car is still under the engine warranty, and the mileage is 76000 and more. I finally found out that it needs more oil when I do oil change:5 quarts.

2016 Honda CR-V Touring

Love this vehicle. Very quiet ride, good interior space and "peppy" engine. I am 5' 2" short and the seats adjust well, except for the head rest which has no adjustment. The on screen computer/navigation system doesn't seem to be very intuitive. Sound system is pretty good. I do like the keyless entry and automatic trunk open and close. Insurance Institute for highway safety rated this vehicle as "Good" (highest rating) along with a great resale value. I traded in my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer for this vehicle and other than the size and weight difference I am very pleased with this vehicle. 9/12/2017 update Still LOVE my CR-V the only trouble I have had is a 7.5 fuse blown that took out the back lights, dash lights and hi-beams. Replaced fuse and its good to go! 3/13/2018 Still LOVING this Honda! Drives like a breeze and is trouble free!
