Used 2019 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Best compact SUV on the market
I bought a 2019 Honda CRV EX about a month ago and could not be happier. I previously leased a 2017 Buick Encore, which was a total piece of crap. The engine block needed to be rebuilt at 10,000 miles due to a cracked piston which was found to be a manufacturer defect. This CRV is much bigger, roomier, handles better, and gets better MPG! I have not experienced the battery drain issues or the oil in gas issue, which was supposed to be taken care of on the 2019 model. I have leased or owned several Hondas and I can say hands down that they are the most reliable cars on the market. I would be wary of some of the reviews on this site as they could have been placed by competitors to smear the excellent Honda name. PROS for this vehicle include MPG, comfortable seats, steady handling without body roll, great options for only 1 trim level up in the EX from the base LX, good sounding stereo, great back seat leg room, low speed cruise control that works in stop/start traffic. CONS=The infotainment system is a little slow to react when switching modes, I wish that it had presets that could take you to any station on AM/FM/or Satellite without having to switch sources. For those of you trying to decide between Honda and Subaru, keep in mind that Subaru has a good mechanical reputation that has not been earned in the real world. Subaru's flat 4 engine is flawed in nature and *will* eventually need head gaskets replaced during the life span of the motor (usually by 100K miles). They have also had several recently quality issues with fuel injector leakage.
Fan of Honda
As the previous owner of 3 Honda Civics, I recently purchased a CRV. I am impressed with the roomy interior and am looking forward to great fuel economy (not far from my Civic MPG!) plus road handling in winter weather. I bought the base model for its simplistic gauges and controls as well as the price. I feel that I paid a fair price and expect the value to hold up. The only trade off I have noticed so far is a little extra road noise, the base model isn't insulated as well as the next levels.

not happy
The windows roll down on their own. I am not pressing anything. Have keys upstairs where I work. I am downstairs and car is parked a football field away. Car had been rained in 3 times, very dark at night when I leave work to go to my car and windows are rolled down. I am afraid for my safety and date to vehicle. I am not holding keys in pocket, My keys are nowhere near me. dealer says I shouldn't keep keys in purse?? Where an I supposed to keep them? I carry a wristlet so that doesn't apply to me. I am afraid to keep anything in the car. I truly am sorry I purchased this car.They didn't even do an oil change before I purchased the car. I bought it with 1,700 miles on 2019 CR-V LX AWD...very unhappy customer. Unsafe
Not as good as the 2017.
I had a 2017 CR-V EX-L Navi and replaced it with a 2019 EX-L. I loved the 2017. Everything worked. No issues, however the lease was up. I expected the 2019 to be the same, however the electronics have been messed with too much and they are now terrible. What's wrong? Well, the Infotainment display locks up and needs rebooted relatively frequently. The way Honda changed the safety features, now I can't use ACC without having the Lane Assist - which is terrible around here. Even things like the Homelink and the outside temp reading are wildly undependable. Three days ago it was 92 degrees but the CR-V insisted it was 75. There are tons of little issues like this. Sometimes the walk away lock works. Sometimes it doesn't. Honda turned a great vehicle into an average at best vehicle. For me, this is the last one I'll own and I regret getting this one.

sigh of relief
Solid smooth ride. Handsome and comfortable. Could use a few more storage pockets. The RAV had more additional compartments but I'm much more please with the whole package here.
