I leased my 2016 CRV in August of 2016. By November 2016, my husband and I began to smell gasoline fumes that would overwhelm the passanger cabin while the car was idling. Honda has admitted that it is a known problem with the 2016 CRV models. PLEASE do some research before leasing or buying. My car has now been at the dealership for FOUR WEEKS without a fix. I am paying for a car that I cannot safely drive. Prolonged exposure to gasoline fumes can lead to a variety of medical issues. With a one year old son, I refuse to allow him to be exposed to the fumes. I hope no one else has to experience the stress that buying a 2016 CRV has caused on my family.

I wanted to upgrade my 2012 CRV XE AWD and looked at the Touring model for the past year. Key features I was looking for included Home Link, Blind Spot Mirror, automatic lift gate. What I did not expect is the Technology loaded touring model provided, including Nav, lane departure and speed control cruise with automatic braking. Better headlights and interior upgrades such as memory seats for driver and rear heating and cooling vent for rear passengers were pleasant surprises. Update- after 6 months of steady driving, I must say this is a wonderful SUV, I enjoy the features that were lacking in the 2012 CRV with the lift gate automatic opening being the best new feature as well as the safety features in this CRV The ride feels firm with 18" tires and the rims on the touring are much more stylish. Visibility is clear and good both day and night. Regarding performance it is a four granted but driving around town turn the econ button off and there is good pickup, when on the highway and cruising put the econ button on and enjoy the ride and save some gas. Looks could not be happier, got the silver with black interior and it looks great with some quality wax on it looks great. I look forward to having this CRV for many years and could not be more happier. After 2 years of ownership, still enjoy more CRV Touring, has everything I need and more. Low cost of upkeep makes this Honda a Great Buy. I will keep this SUV for a good amount of years, still love the looks and ride along with the many features. After 3 years of ownership still going strong great car, low cost to upkeep it. Looks still great and can't beat the features in touring edition. Had to have battery replaced but covered under warranty so that is good for another 6 years. Final review Car sold and went with Mazda CX5

Was seriously considering a new 2016 CRV. Went for a test drive and car had a obvious shudder or vibration around 35 to 40. It also had the a slight vibration while stopped at intersection. I would never buy a car that rode this poorly. I was driving home wondering if I was being too critical and realized my 11 year old Toyota rides way better then the new Honda.

Bought an LX FWD for $21,687.82, not counting tax and license fees. I bought at the end of the month and bid it out to six dealers. Although this is the most basic CR-V, the features are quite good -- the only one I miss is hands-free entry, which is available on higher-trim models. One month in I'm pleased with the car in all respects except one -- that being that I find the steering feel to be rather heavy. Otherwise, everything seems fine. Gas mileage is amazing for a vehicle this size. Performance is quite good -- the CVT is quite peppy at low speed or from a start, though it still has that CVT high rpm response when accelerating from higher speed. The space in this car makes it practical for long trips or hauling stuff. Performance is good, and the 2.4L engine puts out very adequate power while getting good gas mileage. All things considered, this is an amazing value for a vehicle, especially the LX FWD. Update: I've had the car now for three years, and my excellent ratings remain. You could easily spend twice what this car cost us and not get equivilent reliability, driveability, practicality.

Good vehicle if you live in city. Not good if you live in country in Wi., Mn., Mi. etc. The so called AWD system blows. I live in county. Driveway has hill. If driveway has ice front wheels barely enough to get up hill as they were spinning. Appears back wheels never kicked in. During winter there were times going into town or home and hoping didn't end up in ditch. No confidence in this vehicle. There are no indicators to notify the driver that the vehicle is in AWD. Driver has no idea when the vehicle is in AWD if it ever is. Do I really have AWD ? There are 1-2 sentences devoted to AWD in the owners manual. An AWD light will come on if the AWD system overheats. Bet this was done purposely(no indicator) do avoid law suit when someone gets in accident when the driver thinks AWD should have been in place when it wasn't. If you tilt the front seat back to any degree,which you will need to do if you're taller than 5'10", you cannot fold the back seat down as it hits the back of the front seat. Have 10,000 miles on mine and looking to trade in. Good gas mileage. Average 30-35 on highway. 29.3 overall since owning.
