CRV - Outstanding

Mark from Long Island, 07/24/2020
2020 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

Leased on June 1, 2020. Had concerns about the 1.5 liter turbo not having enough power. To my pleasant surprise, the cars gets moving quickly and handles great. The overall ride is excellent and very roomy. I would highly recommend the CRV to anyone in need of an AWD SUV. My rating of the CRV a 5 + , great crossover.

Great all-around car

This car holds everything that we need it to hold, which is why we bought it to begin with. It accelerates very smoothly because it has a CVT and at a decent rate. My wife thinks it is slow because she is accustomed to our previous car that had a normal automatic. I really like the car a lot because of the features that it has that were considered super-luxury as recent as five years ago, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist as well. Honda's great reputation is the cherry on top.

Can't Go Wrong with This Honda

6+ Months update: I’ve put on close to 7K miles in about 6 months... Still no complains! I have also discovered the magic of Lane Keep Assist!! I will however say that the seats can feel uncomfortable if you’re sitting in there for 6+ hours. Bring some extra cushions for your tailbone! Mechanically, no complaints so far. Acceleration has gotten better with time, I swear. Gas mileage is a little lower than I expected but oh well. I used to be able to drive over 300+ miles across the state on 2/3 tank of gas (in a Civic & Accord) but now it takes the full tank to do the same drive so I end up filling up again. I know it’s a bigger car, AWD and all that factors in but still a little disappointed. Just a little. Otherwise, I’m still happy with it and still worth the 5 stars. I bought this car after trying to decide between EX & the EX-L. The AWD provides a comfort and sense of safety that most FWD can't give. I ended up with the EX-L because of the additional safety features it came with. I'm not a fan of leather seats or leather interiors in general but in this car, it felt pretty good. The front seats warm up so as the main driver, this is perfect-o. My hubs and I have had so much fun personalizing the touch screen interface (you can even change the background - whaaaat!!) and listening to music with the 8 speakers. Hondas aren't known to be luxurious cars but the 2020 CRV has really amped up its affordability and the feeling of royalty when you're in the car.

Front was small; touch-screen only option for AC/R

I know Honda makes a great car, however, I was surprised by how crammed the front felt once inside. We actually found the HR-V to have more (or at least felt like more) space to the front. We also did not like that Radio/AC/Heat were all touch-screen with no knobs. Only the base models have knobs. Salesman said it was important to buy extended warranty because his Honda's touch-screen needed repaired 6 months after warranty. He stated that the touch-screen breaks often, leaving you with no knob to adjust/turn on/off. Only option is replace immediately. We chose not to purchase and ended up purchasing a 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS instead. Roomier, nicer overall features, touch-screen and knobs and same price for a sharper looking vehicle.

CR-ME

I bought a Honda CR-V back in 2006 and I’ve owned up until September. One owner, sold it with only 138,000 miles for $5600. It was sad so I started looking at brand new CR-V’s and I saw a 2020 CR-V for sale me in the color blue. I test drove it and before I knew I was buying it. Payed $29,000 and now I’ve owned it for 3 months and I have 2,334 Miles on it. Haven’t had one issue, fuel economy is great. Love all the technology and stuff. I can already CR-ME a future with this.
