Literally pain inflicting

The seats in this car are so uncomfortable after driving 5 miles that I have developed severe back pain but now I'm stuck with it. It's a terribly designed car. The headrests are terrible. I'm 6'1 and hate it. My daughter is 5'2 and she thinks it's incredibly uncomfortable as well. The Bluetooth is also very flaky with my Android phone.

I expect this car to also last 20 years as my last Honda did. The only reason I purchased a new car ad so needed an SUV. I love all the safety devices and I thought I would just turn them off! It took one trip down the turnpike to appreciate everything!!!!! Great pickup and handling. Great safety features. My car read me my messages and even told me it was time for me to stop for coffee. Unbelievable!!!! I love her. Her name is Moby by the way!

Defective engine, no heat, many electrical problem

This is my 12th and last Honda vehicle. Honda, knowingly, continued to sell vehicles with defective engines and has acted like a philandering politician with lies deception and 'solutions' that not only didn't fix the problem, it created others. After the recall, er, update my 2018 CRV doesn't produce any heat at idle. I could let it idle for 12 hours and it wouldn't produce enough heat to defrost/defog the windows. Honda says that this is normal. So, I have to drive 10-16 minutes with ice covered windows. Honda says this is normal. My oil reeks of gasoline. Honda says this is normal. I have no confidence that oil diluted by gasoline is providing proper lubrication to the engine. China MADE Honda issue a recall of all CRV for defective engines. Honda says this is normal. In addition, the vehicle has numerous electrical issues. Auto lights don't work. Outlets don't work. All the warning lights will randomly come on while driving- Brake system failure/Collision Mitigation system failure/LKA failure. Paid nearly $40,000 for a defective vehicle and Honda says this is normal. Even though I'm losing a bit of money, I am relieves that I was able to get out of this lemon and into a better car, which I pick up Tuesday.

The Honda CR-V and the Honda Accord were both top rated by Consumer Report, also I owned a 2005 Accord for 13 years it is a great car and passed it down to a family member when I purchased the CR-V. I test drove both vehicles back to back a few times. Both were great and it was hard to decide. The Accord had a better ride, quieter, and sitting in the back seat was like riding in a limo. The CR-V was easier to get in and out of. (when you are over 70 that's important) With the CR-V loading and unloading golf clubs is easier than taking them out of a trunk. Considering I have only had the CR-V for a week it is hard to tell if I made the right choice. Edmunds was a great help in helping me get the best price in my area.
