Our 2020 CR-V EX-L's hood is significantly misaligned. Gap on the passenger side is 2mm, driver side is 6 mm and hood is canted with the driver side obviously higher than the passenger side. Having to jump through hoops to get resolved. Very disappointed.

Amazing family car for the $

I've been driving Hondas since my first one, a new 1990 Civic hatchback. While I miss the basic zen simplicity of that car, I must say that Honda has never let me down. 8 new Hondas over 30 years. We just bought a 2020 CR-V LX for my wife, and I am taking over her 2017 CR-V LX. The 2020 version is the same, with "refinements". They took a great car, added some extra stuff as standard. I only wish they hadn't abandoned the 2.3 liter base engine, but the 1.5 turbo doesn't feel underpowered.

A trendy vehicle for people of all ages!

I love the new updated look of the CR-V, I thought the 2020 was super cute with the “flower” rims. I got white exterior, black cloth interior EX trim, I love it! It has heated seats, a moonroof, apple car play, a smooth ride that absorbs most impurities in the road and has amazing reliability. I’ve had mine three weeks now and have driven it 2400 miles and still continue to love it. This vehicle has a trendy body to it that can fit a teenager but can also fit somebody who’s old. I get plenty of compliments on it, I love the DRL, they really add an accent to the front of the vehicle and the rear has the taillights slightly blacked out? It’s a very nice look. I hope to love my CR-V for a long time, I have been dedicated to civics for years but I was ready for a roomier vehicle. I’d comment on how the acceleration is kind of poor at times but it’s also not a hot rod and it has amazing gas mileage for an SUV. Also, a quick shoutout to Smart Honda in Clive, IA. I had a very good experience, had to get rid of my 2016 toyota rav4 it was a death trap and I was not getting any assistance from the Toyota of Des Moines dealership even under warranty.. but have purchased from This Honda dealership before and they provide outstanding service and hire great people. They helped take care of the rest of the loan and get me into a safe new vehicle. Honda gang!

Almost great if you are all about practicality.

The good: - Good handling and cornering. Although I wouldn’t use the word enjoyable, the car is easy to drive. - Great quality interior. Not luxury, but well crafted and thought through. - Very comfortable seats for a tall adults, front or back. Memory seats are very convenient. - Pretty good fuel economy in stop and go traffic. - Lots of safety and driver assist tech and it works pretty well. - Very quiet interior but the engine noise ruins everything. - 4WD performs quite well in snow with winter tires. - Great looking exterior compared to competition but that’s subjective. - I really like the panoramic roof but appears it’s available only on Canadian models. The bad: - Very underpowered and very loud engine. I find it’s worse than the previous, non-turbo 2.4L. You have to floor the gas pedal and watch RPM go over 5-6K/min to accelerate quickly. Clearly Honda prioritized fuel economy. - Fuel economy suffers greatly on the highway. - I change winter tires myself and jacking points are very inconveniently located: it’s impossibly far on the front and you need something like an SUV adapter for the rear. Honda Canada couldn’t actually tell me what jacking points to use other than what’s used for changing flat tire on the side of the road and the dealership didn’t know either. Come on Honda Canada!! Luckily I found a TSB from Honda USA that tells you to use a rear tow hook as a rear jacking point, which is very high off the ground so you won’t be able to use a typical jack; you’ll need to use something that goes over 18” or has an adapter. 19” tires don’t help either. - “Premium” sound system is loud but not refined. All in all it’s a good choice if you are looking for a practical SUV and don’t mind loud engine noise. I didn’t find infortainment to be overly complex since you won’t be scrolling through options often. Most frequently used functions are easily accessible.
