Just right!
The touring edition has all the bells & whistles at an amazing price. Only issue is the road noise I feel due mostly to the tires that come with it. Turn wood grain and leather seats with wonderful lumbar are sumptuous. Honda needs to offer a fully tan interior as tan seats with black carpet defeats the purpose of anything other than black as it does everything. There is a slight tick in idle from tire engine but only heard outside. Drives well, the safety features for driver work amazingly well and are beneficial. Comfort is my main factor in choosing this beauty as most newer seats hit my head in just the right spot to point my eyes looking to my knees. This one is just perfect, & if not the headrest is actually reversible!

CRV EXL Review
Only disappointment is that Android auto does not support my cell phone, a Huawei honor 8x. From what I've read, the seems to be more of a Huawei problem then a Honda problem. However, Honda customer service said that they have not tested with the honor 8x. If Android auto is important, then probably want to check whether your phone has been tested. I'd buy the car again anyway. Now thinking about replacing my phone.

I love it, but there are a few things that bug me
UPDATE: Feb'25: Still satisfied with the vehicle. Had my first alignment -- tires weren't wearing evenly despite regular rotation -- and just replaced the wiper blade inserts. The infotainment screen still beeps and goes dark on occasion but very rarely now. Going in for the passenger safety seat sensor recall in a few weeks. Fit and finish remains solid, gas mileage good. UPDATE: Feb'24: Still liking the car and it's performing well. I don't like the front end of the newer models so whenever I think of trading it in I remember a) it's paid off, and b) I don't like the new look. It's not a car I'm over the moon in love and gushing excitement, but it's a loyal companion that comfortably meets my needs and is nice to drive. UPDATE Aug'23: I've come close to considering a trade but have stayed with my Honda. It's still solid, comfortable, and so far has performed beautifully in city and highway driving. A few things still bug me but I've learned to live with them (for now). HOWEVER, Taking car into service to check AEB system - was driving along when suddenly the audible and visual alarm to brake was activated, and the car slowed down. I was the only one on the street. This was very scary -- first time, but I got rid of a previous vehicle (Nissan) when the same thing kept happening. Let's hope the Honda service folks can address this. UPDATE Jan'23: Still think the HondaLink app is useless. Still can't set up automatic "Driving and can't text" messages. Phone problems cited in my Jul'22 update still occur but not frequently. Car remains solid with no creaks or rattles. Still love the sunroof although I wish it was a full pano. Heat and A/C work well although getting the right setting for clearing interior windows of fog is tricky. Love the Auto headlamps and rain activated windshield wipers. There is a bit more road noise than I'd like, and I still don't like the blind spot warning indicators on the side mirrors. They are hard to see unless I turn my head. UPDATE: Jul '22: I still experience a few of the phone problems -- beep beep volume slide lever appears and then screen goes blank -- but not nearly as many as before I upgraded my phone. I just gave up trying to find a way to send an automatic "Driving, can't respond now" message to incoming texts. Still disappointed with some of the creaky technology I've cited in previous reviews. I've had the car for 15 months now and remain basically happy with the purchase, although I sometimes think about trading it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE Jan '22: Still love the car. Bought a new phone and that seems to have solved most of the issues I had with compatibility, although I still haven't figured out how to send an automatic "Can't text I'm driving" reply. I still don't like the location and size of the blind spot warning lights (this is the first thing I'd change on the car), the HondaLink app is still useless to me, but I've learned to contort to access the fuel filler door latch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchased new 2020 CR-V Touring with AWD. Really like this car! Acceleration is good and the interior is very roomy and comfortable, vehicle is easy to maneuver. Love the lumbar adjustment of the driver's seat! Fit and finish are excellent and it feels solidly constructed. Only a few things bug me: 1) blind spot warning on side mirrors is small and not easily visible. Prefer what Nissan Rogue SL has that are farther forward and large, separate from side mirror, to be easily seen, 2) Infotainment system doesn't like my phone and will occasionally just shut off the display after much beeping and blinking of brightness selector, requiring me to shut off phone or Bluetooth connection (although this has happened when phone is on but Bluetooth isn't on), 3) won't import my phonebook because according to the Honda owners website my specific phone/service provider is not yet supported, 4) HondaLink app is useless and archaic, 5) fuel filler door latch is inconveniently located, requiring much fumbling and bending over to see/access. I'm still learning -- ordered the paperback owner's manual and it's huge!!! I am one of those people who likes to read through the owners manual and keep it in the vehicle for reference. I swore I wouldn't buy a car that has the automatic start/stop feature but I quickly learned to shut it off each time I start the car - it's a habit now so no big deal. I'm happy with my purchase but hope the nuisance of the phone issues can be overcome.* I intend to own this car for a long time. *NOTE: I had a 2019 Nissan Rogue SL AWD and the phone use was an easy one-step, totally compatible Bluetooth link to make/receive calls and control text access . The Nissan Connect app was very robust. I assumed Honda would be an equal or better offering. Can't even set up an automatic "Driving, can't text" message in the CR-V or place a call through the car's Bluetooth.

Mostly what I was looking for.
Touring, Exterior LED lights. Comfortable seats for long travel, leg room in backseat, gas mileage near Accord millage rates. Easier area to load/haul than Accord, capable of light towing. Should be easier to load and take bike to grandkids home to ride bikes with them. Plus walk away locks is a great feature. As my daily driver, it should be easier get in and out of as my arthritis gets worse. Looking forward to having the awd and greater road clearance next winter. The 0% Interest is what motivated us to purchase now. Wished it had the dash pop up for the speed limit signs, heads up display, and vented seats like the upper end Accords. If price is right down the road interested in Hybrid Pilot, with the upper end Accord features noted above, and the battery warranty that Toyota is giving. Preferred gear shift over push button shifting.
