Sold it after 3 months as the car’s electrical systems were TERRIBLE! Took it on 1 trip and we’re afraid we wouldn’t make it back home.lights, dash dauges, brake system, all acted up and we didn’t dare shut it off. Went to the dealer and they wouldn’t let me have it running when they checked the computer, so they shut it off and reset the check engine light and said there was nothing wrong! It did the same thing 2 more times with the same results, so we traded it for a Kia and no more problems!!!

We've owned 8 Hondas over the past 15 years and have been happy with every single one. We keep our cars for at least 150K miles and have had no issues other than routine maintenance. The latest purchase was a 2018 CRV, replacing a 2010 CRV with 155K miles and still going strong. The new car has much more safety equipment, a small engine, yet more horsepower and significantly better gas mileage. We'll be replacing our 2009 Ridgeline in a year or 2 and will most likely get another CRV.

I owned and still own a 2014 CRV. I had 2 complaints about the 2014. No Home link and no push button start. Both of those features are on the 2018. What I am amazed with are all of the other features in the 2018. The Adaptive Cruise Control works perfectly. I found it hard to believe that the car came with LKAS (Lane Keep Avoidance System) This feature in essence allows the car to steer itself (or stay between the lines). I thought that this feature was only available on high end cars such as my wifes Volvo S90. I can tell you that this feature works at least as well in the 2018 CRV as it does in the 2017 S90. The new turbo charged engine delivers more than enough acceleration. The 2018 rides better and performs better than my 2014 CRV which I gave to my son. The only things that I don't like about the car are with the bluetooth integration. I dial into conference calls a couple times a day from my car. Dial an 800 number, then pause and dial in a PIN. The pause in the dialer don't work and I have to dial from the phone. The dealership has been useless on an update. Secondly, I never use the Android Auto. It seems to serve no purpose. I may be more disappointed in Google and Android Auto than Honda. As far as the bluetooth working during calls and streaming music, it works fine. The user interface on the entertainment system isn't the most intuitive either. I absolutely love the car. I loved the 2014 and feel like the 2018 is just a tremendous value for the money and HIGHLY recommend one to someone looking for a small SUV. It is also worth mentioning that after approximately 60,000 miles on the 2014, it has never been to the dealership. I have only replaced tires and brakes! Review is for a 2018 EX-L AWD and included with the purchase price are roof rack and rails, hitch, winter floor mats.

After lots of research of trying to find a safe, reliable and gas saver my husband and i decided on the Honda 2018 CR-V. LOVED the size, loved the ride, loved how it handled and LOVED the mpg!! I however did not like the touch screen, too picky at times and other times you almost have to to take a hammer to it. What has finally ruined my new car is the constant smell of gasoline in the cab of the car. Every time after i fill up my Honda, the cab of my CR-V reeks of gasoline for 4-5 days after! I have 3 children, and one of them cannot ride in the car because of headaches from the smell of gasoline. My other 2 have been getting bloody noses, and i myself have been getting headaches and nausea. We have taken the Honda into the service department and the only thing they were concerned about was if the check engine light ever came on. After research we found the Honda CR-V 2018 has been known to have oil dilution problems. We also pulled the dip stick on my Honda and the smell of gasoline was very strong and after the service department had my Honda for 2 days, they said there was nothing wrong with the Honda. We also have had problems with the cruise control and driving assist (would not read the distance from the car in front of us and it was set at the most sensitive setting) I am very bummed, i really liked my Honda but now having these problems and Honda is not really wanting to help i now don't trust Honda. I can't get a hold of anyone at the Honda Corp. and our dealership just shrugs their shoulders and says sorry. I am at my wits end. I SOLD THE HONDA CRV WAS TIRED OF DEALING WITH THE GASOLINE SMELL CONSTANTLY INSIDE THE CAR AND HONDA NOT HAVING A CARE IN THE WORLD.

CVT is great for mpg but takes getting used to wish it had shift point built in. For the size /segment this is a pretty good car otherwise. Most cars in this class have seats that are in my opinion, too small. Great packaging though. Very spacious, and little touches, like rear seat vents for heat and air. Had a 2016 GMC Sierra crew cab SLT that didn’t even have those! We don’t use this car for trips longer than 2 hours but it’s great for shorter jaunts. Fuel economy I think is as good as the RAV4 Hybrid that I considered but this car was somewhat less money which was a big factor in my decision to purchase the CR-V. The Apple Car Play is great when it works. Dealer tells me that Apple is coming with an update that should clear it up.
