Wouldn’t buy again

Have had nothing but problems with the car since we bought it brand new. Hardly any mileage on it. 6 months in and The heated seats are terrible. They are hardy warm and do not stay warm or on. The charging/ electrical system is faulty. Charging ports disconnect and stop charging phone and the screen on the car also glitches or just freezes. The automatic breaking system is also faulty and has braked for no reasons. There is also a bad odour when the AC is on. None of these were evident upon purchase. We are not thrilled.

Great night time driving

Car has automatic headlights and automatic high beams, I work at night lights up the road great. High beams go on and off at the right time. The big taillights are important since a lot of people cannot see at night as you pass them by. Only $30 to fill up compare to $40 for my other SUV. Plenty of power at 40 mph before you know it. I had a 2000 CRV lasted 19 years. Just lost my 2009 in last hurricane. Got a sonic grey pearl CRV EX everything great so far.

The seats are not comfortable

I agree with one reviewer that the drivers seat is not at all comfortable. It does feel like a straight back chair with no real cushioning and the road noise is too loud. The one I was conned into leasing has been one thing after another. The windshield camera was defective and had to be replaced at only 4,000 miles. The brakes grinded when stopping until 5,000 miles. I had a 2020 cr-v and loved it. And that I was lied to and told I had 5 days to change my mind and return it was just the way they conned/lied/manipulated me. Never do business with Love Honda. Great gas mileage though.

Not a very inspiring drive

I considered the CRV in 2019, but never actually drove one, as I drove the Mazda CX5 and purchased it. Recently, I received a CRV as a rental on vacation, and was not impressed at all. While the ride was OK, and it had more interior space than my Mazda, it was very sluggish. I am not a fan of using smaller engines with turbos, but I understand that it is done to increase fuel mileage. This engine/CVT transmission combo just seems soooo slow! Off the line especially, it just takes too long to wind up, and then it's turning a lot of RPM's. I keep my cars for a long time, and don't trust turbocharged engines to go the distance without major repairs. Also the handling was not on par with my CX5- just not as sporty
