Look closely at paint especially the lift gate....underneath mine had like paint bubbles or runs and now it is chipping off...found several on lots with the same thing...just have not chipped off yet....customer service was the worst...don't expect help from corporate because they do not care...I have owned several Honda's and asked them if they were ok with the fact that they would lose me as a customer...and they had no concern

3/27/24—65000 miles—-not one problem since day one. Hard to think why I would not buy another CRV in the future. The Hyundai Tuscon hybrid is the only other car I would consider at the $40k price point. It comes with many more bells and whistles, but recent reports claim the real MPG is much lower than stated. Maybe the ‘25 model year might be better………55000 miles 3/26/23–car does not disappoint in any way—size, fuel consumption, structural integrity. No mechanical problems after 6 yrs of ownership . Might consider a new Hybrid CRV in the future , but no rush at the moment 51000 miles and still love the car. Took a 400 mi trip past week and got 38mpg!!! I would like a new car, but why ? Four years of ownership , no problems, great gas mileage. Next car might be the CR V hybrid. Mar 23,2021–after 45000 miles I still love the car and have had no problems. At 30k I put on a new set of Michelin tires, and had car serviced at dealer every 5k. Will switch to my local mechanic for the next service. Would buy the car again........2018>>The car is 6 months old and I am still loving it. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a small SUV.. I never owned an SUV and never wanted one!!!!. My VW Golf (loved it!!!)lease was coming to an end and l looked at Mini Cooper, Mazda 3 and Impreza with an eye to getting something with a little more room ,yet fun to drive. The 2018 Crosstrek caught my eye since it was built on the 2017 Impreza platform with great reviews and a cargo area designed to meet our nee Update: After one year of ownership I had no problems with the car and still enjoy driving it every day. 27,000–after two years of ownership I still love the car. No problems. The Michelin tires need to be replaced this winter for best all wheel traction. Local tire shop suggested Defender tire when I replace the Premier tires. Premiers wear quickly in first 30,000 miles, but will go another 10-15k if not driven in snow. Defender are rated much better. March 23,2020—still give the car a 10 rating after 33,000. Replaced tires with Michelin Defender which are great. Mileage continues to be in low 30’s most of the time except in very cold weather which is to be expected.

I test drove a 2016 CRV and thought the driver seat was very comfortable but the ride wasn't so comfortable. Then I drove a 2017 CRV and thought the ride and quietness were better and I didn't really notice the seat. Driving around town the driver seat is ok, but when I drive out of town I get a low backache. I've tried adjusting the seat several times, but it is too soft and non-supportive. I called Honda and told them. They said to get a seat cushion but didn't recommend any. It is a shame they put a lot of good stuff in this car but skimped on the seats. Also, there is no cd player but I'm told that is the trend now. 11/12/17 It is still a very good car. I've had no problems with it. My only complaints are the driver's seat is too soft and no cd player. 05/15/18 It is still a very good car. The only problem I had was an animal crawled up in the engine compartment and died. So there was a bad smell. I took it to Honda and they changed the cabin filter. It helped but there still is a smell when I start the car I would like to get rid of. 05/18/21 I've had problems with batteries going dead and had to replace the battery twice (fall of 2018 and winter of 2021). There are also some glitches in the screen I told the Honda dealer about--like messages that I don't understand. They checked the software and it was up to date, so they didn't do anything about them. 5-19-22 No major issues with my car. I have been frustrated a few times by the navigation system however. It seems to get lost at times.

Everything I Wanted and More!

I have always owned small , economy cars, mostly Toyota Corollas. In 2008 I purchased a Civic, which I was still driving until purchasing this new CR-V . I love technology and gadgets and I was interested in a car with more up to date features. I also needed something with a little more room, so I test drove and researched a variety of SUVs. I chose the CR-V based on the excellent reviews , resale values, reliability, safety and price. All I can say is that this vehicle is amazing. The first day I picked it up we had a severe storm. I drove on the highway for hours in a downpour and was alerted when someone tried to pass too closely. The beeping startled me but it also saved me from an accident. The side mirrors light up and alarms go off. I was also very happy with the way it held the road and felt sound. Last week as I was backing out of my driveway someone came around our nearby corner too quickly. Again the alarm went off as I was within a few inches it seemed of being hit. A few times after late nights at work I have forgotten a turn signal or drifted a bit. The steering wheel vibrates and more alarms. It is so smart and works hard to keep you safe. The camera view is excellent but I still have to do it the old fashioned way. I have driven it for a month now and have been getting 28-30 MPG in mixed traffic. It runs smoothly, quietly and is a pleasure to drive, even in the economy mode. I admit that I am not driving for performance and am happy to see the green light. I love everything about my new CR-V. I was going to keep the Civic as I love that too but this vehicle makes me want to sell the Civic. I am trying to figure out some day trips just so I can drive my new vehicle more! The only thing I can say is frustrating is that the lift gate adjustment keeps resetting back to full height. The seat also remembers my setting but when I get out I move the seat back because I am short and drive up close to the wheel. It moves the seat back up before I get in..so if I leave it back when I get out, I cant get back in because it pushes the seat up close to the wheel, before I am seated. Of course these are small things and could be my user error. Great Vehicle...you will not go wrong with a CR-V.

Thinking of naming my CR-V Rusty

2017 CR-V Touring starting to rust after half a winter. Chrome trim on tail gate, exhaust trim, and along bottom of doors ($1400 in parts) is noticeably corroding after the first 6 weeks of winter. Schomp Honda (CO) and Honda America both say the observed corrosion is caused by magnesium chloride applied to the roads and is not the result of defective material performance because it's due to "outside and unforeseeable influences." Aren't all parts of the vehicle subject to "outside influences" the moment you drive it off the lot? And if those parts begin to fail within a few months then there is something wrong. Dealer and Honda admitted that they've seen this corrosion on many other Honda vehicles. Honda knows that mag-chloride has been used since mid 1990s, so shouldn't they have designed parts that wouldn't corrode halfway through the first winter? In fact, some chrome parts (front grille) are not corroding yet and appear to be designed or treated differently. After owning Honda cars for about 35 years I'm extremely dissatisfied with Schomp dealer and Honda and will never buy a Honda again.
