Used 2019 Honda CR-V SUV Consumer Reviews
Honda CRV -EXL, SUV is junk, no support
This car has bad turbocharged engine 1.5 L Fuel leak to engine oil and smells fuel in the car and Honda corporation do nothing to fix it. Upgrade software not fix this problem. The dealer does not inform people about this problem because the dealer is banned by corporations. It's not funny when it is -20 degrees and you have drive with a child with open window because smells fuel.

Smooth ride
Less than a week into ownership, but I like the features. Answering phone on navigation panel is nice. Map Navigation is eady to use and the only thing about it is it lags a second or two when telling you to turn, so be careful or you might drive by your turn as it is saying turn here. Gas mileage, 30 mpg is okay for AWD. They say change the oil every 7500 miles which is better than my other hybrid car There are lots of bells and whistles here on this vehicle, and a lot of them are electrial, so do yourself a favor and buy the electrical warranty. It takes getting uses to some of the features, like the one that keeps you in your own lane, where your steering wheel shakes if you cross the line, but you can turn it off. Heated seats are nice. Radio has speakers all over the place. I have trouble climbing up into trucks and suvs, and I am short, but this has a decent height and I can get in easily without having purchased the steps. It drives smoothly, it breaks smoothly. They give you free floor mats, they are cloth, mine are super dark vray, which match my dark gray interior, but I might get a rubber one to lay on top, as I live in the country on a horse farm and every little dirt speck that sticks to my boots also sticks to the mats, and shows. I wish the radio had a CD player, as I am not all that technically inclined but I am assured no new car comes with CD player now. Too bad. I went in to buy a red CRV, but actually didn't like the red once I saw it in person, it was lava red and looked orangish from a certain angle. I went with gun metal grey which is the dark grey, and it is sparkly and eye catching. I really like it. I have grandkids that travel with me, so I did opt for the exterior and interior armor all coating, and they guarentee no stains or a replacement for 10 years. I would like to retake this survey a year from now when I've had the suv for a while.

What an Upgrade! Loving the CR-V
I bought a new 2019 Honda CR-V, EX-L on 10/4/2019. My 2015 Mazda CX-5 Touring was totaled in an accident so I needed a new car. I researched several SUVs for ~$30K, I wanted leather seats, Android Auto, good gas mileage and high safety ratings. I whittled down the list to the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V. (What, no Toyota RAV4? Nope, because it doesn't have Android Auto!) Why did I choose the Honda? Simple. It's a big upgrade from the Mazda CX-5. I sat in both, tested both, and the Honda has a LOT more to offer. Android Auto - Android Auto in the Honda is housed in a good looking display in the dashboard. It's very easy to access and use. The USB connection is in the center console where you can stow your phone as you drive. No distracted driving! Backup Camera - The Honda has a backup camera with both a static and dynamic backup overlay. The picture itself is passable and a bit fuzzy. However, there are three views available. A standard backup view, a wide-angle view to see traffic coming sideways, and a tailgate (down) view. Each is accessible with the touch of the screen. If a car is coming towards you while you're backing up, you are alerted immediately. The speedometer, odometer, and other instrument panel items are all visible on another great-looking display behind the steering wheel. I love this! With Waze integration built in, turns are automatically displayed in the instrument panel section. There's no need to glance over to the center display. Gas mileage is on-par with stated estimates. Street driving is ~28, freeway ~34, with an average of 30 miles to the gallon. Past three fill-ups have reflected this with 29.5, 30.7, and 31.2 miles per gallon. (Values based upon amount of gasoline purchased to fill up the tank and the miles traveled since the last fill-up.) There are so many other goodies to list that make driving this SUV so nice! Some of these have been out for a while, but when upgrading from 2015 to 2019, it can spoil you! * Seat memory for two drivers * Cruise Control speed adjust * Economy fuel efficient mode * Brake Assist * Lane keep assist * Lane departure assist * Remote engine start * Tailgate automatic open/close with a button * Garage Door button There are a couple of things that make this not perfect. 1. The auto-dimming rear-view mirror doesn't work well when the back window is tinted. Headlights at night are too bright. 2. No automatic rain sensor for the windshield wipers. (The 2015 Mazda CX-5 had this.) Overall, I love this vehicle! I love driving it. I love the feel of it.

Miss the older design features
I had a 2009 CR-V that was a perfect SUV. Design and comfort features were far better in the 09 version than the 2019. The cargo area was huge and the hard shelf allowed twice as much storage. Why they took that out years ago I'll never know. Much less area for cargo now with that useless soft cover. The seats were also way more comfortable in the 09 and you sat higher similar to sitting in a chair. Now the seat is closer to the base and is uncomfortable on your back. I have only 400 miles on my new CR-V and do not enjoy driving it like the 09. The heater is not as good either and takes forever to warm up. It never gets so warm that you need to turn it down. I do enjoy the ApplePlay but I have to say that's about it. I also miss the space between the two front seats. Update, August, 2019: Still feel the same about the car. It was a huge mistake and bad purchase. The older CR-V felt like a SUV...this car is seems like the designers were undecided. I don't like it at all. Update 2/22/21 - I still do not like it as much as the 2009. I do like the added technology comforts such as being able to open the trunk and Apple Play - note: Apple Play does not work all the time. Update: 08/21/21. Still do not like this car and plan on selling it. I wanted it to be my last car but am looking for something else.
