Purchased new and really could be better. Infotainment is awful and slow. Really not happy with this in this day and age. Hondalink is really useless in this vehicle and can't do nothing with this app. Can't even start car with app--come on honda! Engine has been fine and get great gas mileage and performance. I guess Honda thinks it will be fine without modern refinements. This just might be my last honda if electronics are not upgraded. Update: After owning it for 3 years I can honestly say it has never spent a day in service except for normal oil changes. It has been one of the most reliable vehicles that I have ever owned. It's not the most exciting vehicle but it gets you anywhere you want to go comfortably. The CR-V is a very safe purchase.

From 2013 to 2021 = More Plastic

This is the third CRV I have owned. I traded my 2013 for a 2021, after almost 170k in trouble-free miles. I wish it wrere possible to get have gotten a brand new version of the 2013 rather than this overcomputerized, over plasticized car. Too much plastic. While handwashing, I could not put too much pressure on plastic bumpers, worried loosen them up, further. Build quality not nearly as solid as the earlier model. Despite all that, hoping for same reliability, at least mechanically.

The XM/FM/AM radio tuning is terrible. You have to Search ... the tuning knob I had on my 2018 Accord was great ... this 2021 CR-V. Tailgate latch in intermittent ... alarms when exiting the car when nothing is wrong. Never again... I'm going to something else next time

The engine is roo noisy. It sounds like driving 10year old car every time you press gas. Not many people mention this. Very disappointed. Over rated for sure.
WORST Vehicle I have ever owned!

5,000 miles in and I HATE this car. If I could give it zero stars, I would. It is underpowered, uncomfortable, gets poor MPG (I drive all highway miles and am averaging 26 MPG) for the size and performance, the heat is non-existent, it has a lot of road noise, the outdated infotainment system is very clunky and often doesn't work, the AWD is not as good as other systems out there, the center console/storage leaves much to be desired. Worst of all, I went to start it this morning and nothing. The car is 2 months old and left me stranded. My wife drives a 2015 Pilot and we love that car. This is a total disappointment. I would not recommend this car to anyone. Get a Toyota or a Subaru and be happy. This is last Honda I will ever own. If I could convince the dealer to take this back, I would get rid of it in a heat beat. Shame on you Honda.
