Cheap interrior. Horn is terrible. The rear back window poor visually. The rear Camara is not the greatest. I regret getting this car. The quality of this car is poor.

Honda is riding out the last of thier quality notoriety. Dealers are still acting like they are selling a quality product, but after this cycle of cars are returned, people will be going elsewhere. Never so happy to turn in a vehicle that was problematic and cheaply manufactured.

Road noise in this vehicle is horable. Edmunds says the vehicle is quiet and best in class? I was thinking I got a lemon but on researching the Road Noise it seems to be a problem with all Honda's. I would suggest anyone concidering this vehicle do a Highway test drive to see if they can handle the noise problem. On a recent trip my wife and I had to shout at each other and radio was useless. This is an update to first review - vehicles road noise is hard to live with, and software is a bit quirky and 7" touch screen is to bright at night and very hard to see during day. Gas milage is 26MPG with mixed 50/50 city and highway miles. Ride is firm and tight, the seats lose comfort fast on long trip.

I commute a lot for work but I needed something roomy enough to tote around what I need. This CRV is fantastic and I love it!

Should've gone with my gut instinct

Can't believe there's NOT a trunk release inside the car! If you don't think you'll miss it, make yourself not use the one in your existing car and see if you miss it. Had a 1995 that even had it in there! Asked dealer (after I bought it) where it was & they said the only model that has it is the touring model. The back-up system is so generic, compared to Ford's. When you back up with theirs, the visual is green (ok), yellow (getting closer) & red (you're right on top); the audio is beep beep (ok), beep, beep, beep (getting closer), & BEEP BEEP BEEP (you're right on top). Honda has no audio and bare bone yellow-no comparison. I'm short and although I try not to hit my knee when I get in, I'm frequently nailing it on the console below & to the L of the steering column, also hit my head a lot on the top. The radio is horrible! the buttons are SO small (& I've got little fingers) I'm constantly hitting the wrong buttons while driving, which throws the thing into la-la land; no matter how much I practice on it, it's a pain & I despise it. Car doesn't do well in high winds for handling. Also sounds like the tires are out of round if it isn't driven every day. The AC and heating system take forever to cool/heat. For a $32K car, I would not buy another. I do, however, like the way the seats lie down in the back...that's what initially attracted me to it plus I've owned Honda's since 1985; still have my 2005 Honda which I gave to my son for high school graduation as he'll be using it to and from college. Feel like giving him the CRV but have payments...if I could do it over, I'd buy another Accord. My husband wanted me to buy a SUV since we already had a new Taurus, the Accord and a pick up. Should have listened to my instinct and bought the new Accord!+
