Honda CRV has a fatal design

This CRV has a fatal design for its keyless function. When you sit in the car, holding the key on your left hand to close the door while you starting up the car with your right hand, the car will lock itself automatically. Because it detects that the key is not INSIDE the car. Although the screen shows "please put the key close to the start up button", but it never let you start up again.(Or maybe it need to wait for a really long time, I never try) Call their CS but nearly no help. Their customer service is one of the worst customer service in the world. Never answer you any question. Last time I try to call them for how to turn off the tire pressure light after I fix my flat tire, they try to charge me $130. But it is a button just located under the steering device you need to push. So lame!

Tire Trouble

I bought a 2018 Honda CRV in December 2017. I could not be more disappointed. I commute to work about 120 miles a day. The tires on the back of the car are worn at 23,000 miles. I was told this was acceptable, however I disagree. Also, Honda claims that the car alerts consumers when the tires need to be rotated. However, they fail to say it is not an indicator that comes up on the dashboard (like the oil change light), but a code you have to open the maintenance portion of the information panel of the car. Finally, I have had issues with my iPhone connection in the car, which controls the radio, apps, navigation, etc. Sometimes all apps are present and working. Sometimes they are not. Apps are on your phone and disappear without warning from the screen. Overall, on paper this looks like a great car, but in real life, it is a true disappointment! Do not buy!

Bought my car new love the way it handles and the bright lights at night. I don’t have the oil issue but at 25,000 mile the computer goes crazy. Having it towed to Honda, to have it repaired. Will update later...Turned out it was only the battery. Apparently the tow truck driver says he takes 3 or 4 new CRV with a bad battery to the dealership every week.

Under powered engine

When accelerating the engine whines and sounds loud and over taxed. Acceleration is ok but the loud sound indicates the engine is under powered and laboring. Other than that a great vehicle.

Reasonably attractive Good value

The vehicle needs a boost in power. It seems to me that power/mpg were targeted to enhance the CAFE. The power plant is adequate, but an increase in engine size seems appropriate. It is a well appointed vehicle, but info systems in general are an overkill. Too digital for my taste.
