Three Weeks Old — Towed Once Serviced Twice

Title says it all. I purchase the vehicle brand new (2021) three weeks ago, and have had it towed once and serviced twice. First the battery was already dead, then the infotainment system would no longer work. It’s okay looking, smells nice, and handles decently but I can already tell this was a poor purchase. Buy something else.

Well we just ordered our 2nd Honda CR-V touring. Both my wife and I have so much good to say about this suv! We took advantage of high used car pricing and ordered another new 1 Trust me on this , the Crv is 1 of the very best Handles great , very comfortable , looks awesom for a suv ! And was trouble free. I. Hope the next 1 is the same. New 1 will be black pearl on black should be awesom. John

Great comfortable car. Has all the bells and whistles. Great gas mileage. I certainly hope the electronics survive. I hope Honda has fixed the oil dilution issue.

pretty but flawed

I bought the Honda CRV AWD upgraded trim 7 months ago and have 2300 miles on it. I've brought this car to two dealerships for help. I hate my CRV because of the way it shifts from braking to gas. When I take my foot off the brake as in at a stoplight, it makes a heavy clunking shift feel and sometimes lurches. To drive the car, one should feel nothing between the shifting of brake to gas pedal. The dealerships say it's a normal feel because of the auto engine idle. I think is either a flaw of the car, or I've got a lemon. I wanted this roomy vehicle to carry bikes and passengers. Also, the heated leather seats barely heat up. The service department head at one dealership said that it's normal for the bottom part of the seat to be cooler than the back.

This is our sixth Honda, all purchased new, covering the last 40 years. All of these vehicles have been very dependable, low maintenance, fine-driving, and extremely safe vehicles. The new 2021 CRV is a fine addition to Honda's history of fine vehicles. I feel for those folks who have had a bad new car experience, but with Honda it's normally the exception rather than the rule.
