I have had my CR-V for 10 months and still do not enjoy driving it. While I'm thankful for Honda's reputation for reliability, this car is very boring. PROS: Great mileage Plenty of features Roomy CONS: Driver seat is so uncomfortable! Especially with highway driving Too much cabin noise on highway (people can't hear me on Bluetooth) Android Auto keeps going out Heavy ride possibly due to suspension. I do not feel the Turbo Honda's maintenance recommendations are ridiculously expensive (a ripoff!) I'm so unimpressed that I likely will not buy another Honda.

Best Small SUV for the money

I previously owned a 2016 Honda CR-V Touring. I liked it so much that I purchased a 2019 CR-V Touring and gave 2016 to granddaughter. The car is just the right size.It has more room than many larger SUV's. The mileage is terrific . averaged 34-36mpg on two 450 mile trips. I love the stying and excellent visible. the front seats are very comfortable and the rear seat has plenty of room. The GPS is not user friendly. I especially like all the safety features on the touring model.

same problems

My 2019 CRV also had a dead battery...I drove to texas and it sat for 5 days. While I was able to get a jump and drive to a honda dealer for a replacement, I now see it is a major problem and I have to worry about this happening again. This is a safety issue. I would not buy a car that must be driven frequently. Worse, no one warned me about this problem. I could be stranded in the middle of nowhere. i have lost faith in Honda, who were once known for excellent safety features.

Love my 2019 Crv as long as it starts

If the car was reliable it would be great, but I have had this car for 2 months and this is the second time we have found the battery dead in the yard. Took it back to the dealer the first time and was told it must have been in auxiliary? Went to use the car tonight and it was dead again. I have NEVER had a Honda that wouldn’t start Paying $430 a month for a car I can’t count on. Wish I had shopped around. So... I took the Crv back to the dealership AGAIN! (almost an hour drive from my house.) I got a call yesterday, “We can’t find anything wrong with the car” I told them to keep the car and hopefully they will be able to find out why the car RANDOMLY DIES in my yard. One week later... I get an email from my Auto dealer, my car is ready, invoice attached. They fixed the “ECU unit” so far the car has been starting and hopefully it has been fixed, because it really is a GREAT car as long as it starts. I ‘m actually starting to love the car now.🤞🏻

Nice vehicle

We are enjoying our new CR-V EX AWD We've had it two months, with 1000 miles on it.. PROS:: The spacious interior, especially the room in back with rear seats folded down. The driver's power seat provides needed "under thigh" support, although the length of the bottom seat cushion is a bit lacking and the seat bottom very "firm". Seat comfort is therefore a "4", not a "5". The steering - it is very stable, and goes the way it's pointed and tracks beautifully with no tendency to wander., which is one of the car's nicest features.. Handles nicely on curves.. Excellent gas mileage. We get EPA ratings (27) around town, and at 65 mph cruising speeds, mid to upper 30's. The body is tight and solid - no squeaks or rattles - a quality feel. Rear seat room and comfort is very good. ( I have had no dead battery, gas in the oil, or leaking sun roof as has been reported by some. In fact, everything works as it's supposed to and have not had any "defects". CONS:: From a standing start, the engine is a bit noisy and labored, (sluggish feeling). It feels like you're starting in second gear, with the CVT. However, ti quiets right down and has ample performance as cruising speed is achieved. Tire noise is present, especially on course surfaces. A steep learning curve for seniors unfamiliar with the new safety devices and multiple, programmable options which often seem redundant to us. And why can't they print an owner's manual that covers your vehicle only, instead of covering every trim level they build in one manual. No break-in heading could be found in the index, but there are important break-in suggestions buried in the "driving" section of the manual which I discovered belatedly after I had 500 miles on it. All in all, we are pleased with our purchase. Long term reliability of the small engine with turbo and the CVT transmission remains to be seen, and might not be in the 250,000 mile range of older, simpler, CR-V;s.
