More than I expected

This vehicle had more power, room, and comfort than I honestly expected. I anticipated a good car from Honda (this being my third), but it really exceeded my expectations. Everyone has commented on the ride and comfort, especially the older folk, and it's a terrifically handled car - not SUV-like at all. I call it my Tardis, far more room on the inside than appears on the outside.

Great car

It is compact SUV. Bigger space than car but not as big as mini van. Back seats are not that wide to hold three adults. I wish the front camera can show how close the car is to the sides of garage door frame and how close to the curb when parking

Dependable car with lots of whistles and bells

Be sure to evaluate the seats before buying. These seats are on the narrow side and thus not comfortable for everybody. Fortunately, I was able to use the power seat adjustments to find a comfortable position. My husband also says he is not cramped like he was in our previous car. Overall, I have no complaints with this car. It’s dependable and really meets our needs. Hope to enjoy it for many years to come!

Vastly Improved....

Other shoppers should know before buying this CR-V that its a huge improvement over the outgoing model, in looks, quality and ride handling. The CR-V does many things well. The seats are some of the most comfortable Honda offers, the looks present a more formidable appearance and the ride feels secure at highway speeds and handling is pretty decent. Underneath the hood is a 190 HP 1.5 Turbo engine with a CVT transmission. Acceleration is very good for a vehicle in this category and as good as that CVT unit is, nothing will take the place of a geared transmission. Inside, several things Id like to see added for the price point of the touring are a Heated Steering wheel, ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. A CD player has been left out of this generation!! Really? All in all, the CRV does what its supposed to do, looking and feeling good the whole time. One place, for me at least where I would like to see some improvement and it may come in time is an increase in fuel economy. Im not seeing the #s advertised. Usually 27.8 has been close to my avg with highway driving pushing 30mpg.

First Time Honda Owner

Grappone Honda, and Shirley, Paige, and Cathy in particular, made the buying experience an enjoyable one. It was a no-pressure and friendly experience. The sticker price on the new CRV and the trade-in offer were very good and eliminated a painful negotiation. This is the first Honda we have ever owned and it is the most comfortable. We purchased it because my wife will be driving her elderly father to appointments soon and we need a vehicle that is easy to get in and out of. Further, I always struggle with comfort because of my height and the CRV is comfortable and a joy to drive. Great buying experience and a great vehicle!
