Liked the style of the CRV, along with easy to use interior layout. The turbo/cvt combo provides ample power and a smooth ride. The dealer was great to work with and Hondas followup after the purchase has been impressive.

If your over 6 feet walk away the shifter digs into your right knee. This vehicle is for slim people only. If there was an two inches more of leg room and two more inches in with in the front seat would be find. It's quiet with great trunk space. Did I mention slow and seat material pills up in the front edge.

Beware of 1.5 turbo engine

Honda needs to solve the problems that they’re having with their 1.5 turbo engines. I intended to purchase a new 2020 CR-V, but when I learned of the problems that are occurring with the 1.5 turbo engine, I changed my mind. In some cases, gas is getting into the oil.

The little engine that CAN'T!

Having to frequently change my batteries because new ones would die in just a few days was just the start of my nightmare. I would stay away from this vehicle by all means. I started having trouble with the battery at first where not even jumping it could get it to start back up. Then the poor touchscreen issues happened. The acceleration was rated to be better then years prior and I think thats a load of crock. Its almost scary to turn out into traffic with the delay it has. I've heard that Some Honda CR-V drivers are haunted by a phantom check engine light that appears on their cluster display. But mine had them all come on, and stay on. It is now at honda once again. Trying to return the car as I write this.
