2016 CRV AWD Limited with slipping CVT transmissio

When hot, the CVT transmission slips all the time. Whenever you press firmly down on the accelerator the engine RPM's increase but the vehicle speed doesn't. When trying to pass a car on a 2 lane road this vehicle becomes extremely dangerous and even life threatening due to the slipping transmission. The dealer say's it's normal, but it is not normal at all. Also, the highway miles per gallon barely reaches 19 MPG due to the slipping transmision.

Shabby compared with 2006 CR-V Touring

We drove a 2006 Touring CR-V for 10 years. I never had a complaint. It was reliable, stable on wet/snow covered roads, comfortable, easy to handle, great vision through the multiple large windows. The 2016 Touring is no comparison. I can't drive it because of the bubbled hood and bubbled out sides that extend 15" beyond the side view mirrors. Lack of vision of the edges of the car has come close to causing 3 accidents. The navigation system is a joke. We've supposedly reached "our destination" in the middle of the Verrazano Bridge. Bluetooth is intermittent and frequently drops calls. Resale value, although the car is in near-perfect condition (one bumper ding), has dropped by 35% over 1.5 years. In other words, we're stuck with it. Worst car purchase of my 45-year driving life. Salesman yapped about his family for so long that tech support had left for the evening. The man knew absolutely nothing about the technicalities and intricacies of the car. Dealer offers poor to no support and failed to provide promised (in writing) free oil changes.

Shopping for mid size crossover

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.

GREAT SAFETY FEATURES

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.

i purchased a CRV for my wife. I'm a big person (340 lbs) The seat belt on the pass side lock in place as soon as it is connected. My Honda dealer doesn't know what to do and states that's how Honda made it Dealer ordered me an aftermarket seat belt extender and that solve the problem
