Used 2019 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
A few flaws...but overall great vehicle overall.
Unfortunate no CD player for us seniors...what happened to Auto lights on LX? Had this feature on my last two Civics, should be standard!! Bluetooth always goes out has to be reset often. Love the ride love the look love the roominess. Great vehicle.

Beware of low beam headlight compromise
I don't know if this was an attempt for engineering or aesthetic improvement, but my car is dangerous at night because I only have a sliver of light while the headlights are on low beam on a dark road. The remainder of the windshield becomes black. Beware if you live in the country or anywhere without street lights. My dealer verbally acknowledged the defect to me but denied it existed to HMC. I was then advised by HMC that my case is closed because they have a responsibility to support their dealers' decisions. If you are considering buying a 2019 Honda CR-V EX-L, be sure to test drive it outside the city at night. This precaution may save your life or someone else's and will definitely avoid your waste of money and the aggravation of waiting for Honda to do the right thing.

Honda Crv ex l
Roominess was my main concern with my older parents accessing the car safely. One parent is 92 and the other 89. Also, I'm 6'2" and I need plenty of head clearance. The final two cars to make for deciding were the Suburau Outback and the Honda Crv. They both had same roominess and same features. The Honda was priced cheaper. So, I went with the Honda and everyone is happy in the car.

What a difference from my 2016 CR-V LX
This car is not even on the same planet as my 2016 CR-V. Extremely smooth and comfortable ride. Granted the wheels on my new 2019 EX are 18 inches (vs. 16 inches on my old LX) and these Bridgestone tires are an upgrade, but still the cars have very little driving resemblance. Turns are composed albeit not sporty. There is some body roll but most CR-V drivers shouldn’t be throwing the vehicle around in the first place. Pavement imperfections are comfortably soaked up but you still have a reassuring feel of the road. The small turbo engine is peppy and smooth without turbo lag. It’s not a rocket but it takes care of business when you need to step on it on the highway. I have no issues with the CVT transmission. The captain’s seat is quite comfortable and supportive with plenty of adjustments, and I’m a big guy...haven’t even played with the 4-way lumbar support. This car is noticeably wider and more spacious than my old LX. I christened my new CR-V with a 4+ hour round trip drive from a PA suburb to Cape May, NJ and it was easy, fun going the entire time. The safety tech is fine and all worked except some occasional misses on lane keeping alerts. Alerts were accurate when I purposely got a little too close maneuvering around other cars on the highway, and this was reassuring. The CarPlay interface with my iPhone is fab. I appreciate the on-board HondaLink and everything was easy to set up. The exterior design on the 2019 was made more aggressive than last years model and it works. Gunmetal grey made an easy choice on color. I simply flipped Honda leases and didn’t do any shopping or test driving comparisons with the Mazda C-5 or Toyota RAV 4. Maybe not as sporty as the Mazda and less tech for the money than the RAV 4. Also some expert reviewers are taking issue with the CVT vs. the Toyota transmission...but I am one happy buyer and Honda just kept me in the family.

So far so good, but....
Gorgeous vehicle, I chose Obsidian Blue and this will be my third Honda. Pros - roomy, excellent gas mileage, lots of safety features. Cons - the driver’s seat is very uncomfortable - not the lumbar part, but where you actually sit. I did not notice this so much when I test drove it. Now I do and I’ve done everything to make it better. Also, my door locks for some reason are randomly unlocking and locking. Noisier in cabin on highway than I expected (Ridgeline is much quieter). This is a “grown-up” Honda and not quite as zippy or fun as my previous ones.
