2.0L turbo

I had three Honda Pilots before but downgraded to the CR V this time around. I don’t like the CVT and slower acceleration, everything else is fine. A 2.0L turbo trim would be great!

Thoroughly elated

Traded the wife's 2020 LX model for the 2024 EX and she's thoroughly enjoying this ride. This is our 2nd C-RV from Hendricks Honda in Concord, NC. and they exceeded my expectations, as did Honda. Styling inside and out are beautiful. Pearl White paint job gorgeous with its mild metallic sparkles. The EX we find has plenty of power, excellent comfort and handling. Fuel milage for type of driving she does averaging 22-26mpg city. One minor flaw I found are the wiper blade arms can rub against the rear edge of hood. For some reason there is no stop designed in the wiper motor to keep wiper arm from rubbing a 1/4" of paint off IF you don't move the arms up slightly to clear the edge of hood. Will discuss this with Honda for a possible product update or tech bulletin. Regardless of this, we are elated overall and very much driving it. She feels very secure with all the safety and design features. Even though the stereo is no Bose system it still sounds fantastic. The thin metal of the hood on the 2020 was like tinfoil but the '24 model seems much stronger. Overall top to bottom we are well pleased.

$14k Engine Replacement needed with less than 90k

About $14,000 to replace the troubled 1.5L Earth Dreams engine in my 2020 CR-V with under 90k miles. Technician noted the oil was overfilled. Oil dilution issue? This doesn’t seem reliable to me. Come on, Honda, you can do better.

I purchased a 2020 CRV after having owned a 2013 Accord that I passed on to my daughter. Loved the vehicle until at 16,000 miles had to replace the tires or fail inspection. My next set lasted better - wait for it - 21,000 miles! Yikes. From there the paint started peeling off in the door wells - seriously! Did I mention the rust on the hood at 4 years old that wasn't covered under warranty I was told. (So much for weekly carwashes helping.) While no mechanical issues - the body is horrible.

Everything you want from an SUV you get. The Ex-L AWD trim is the best value.
