There is a national car shortage of new cars and most dealers will laugh when presented with advertised lease specials. We had a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L which had been mostly rock solid and had 129,000 miles, mostly trouble free. One Saturday I took it in for a scheduled oil change. The dealer is literally within eyesight of my house. While there I strolled around and was shocked to see only one new vehicle in the showroom. The front lot was full of used cars for the most part. I then observed a 2021 CRV EX-L AWD in Sonic Pearl Gray. The dealer had 2 grand of add ons plastered on. I started talking to a salesman and the story was a lady had ordered it and didn't like the color upon seeing it on the lot. It had 10 miles on it and it was the only CRV they had. On impulse alone I told the salesman to write up a lease based on their loaded sticker. So I paid a few bucks over list and I don't care. It's the way things are at the moment. Two days later I sold the 2099 Accord to the first person who came to look at it. The CRV is a good, solid reliable vehicle with many good features. And decent gas mileage. I also have another vehicle with a 250 HP V8 and I like the acceleration of the CRV. It isn't a Lexus nor is it meant to be. The leather interior is comfortable, passable and fine for everyday use. There is plenty of room in the rear for storage. I like the power rear gate. The turbo engine is more than adequate. The stop/go feature is annoying but easily disabled. We plan on keeping Sirius. The sound system is above average. In short, it's the first new car I have bought in over 50 years and I'm impressed with the fit and finish. It's quiet enough for me and both my wife and I enjoy driving it. Love the memory seat function although I also have it on the other car this one is more accurate. We leased it for 3 years and at that point we will decide to buy or lease again. Update. April 2022. After 6 months we have put 4,000 miles on the vehicle. The memory seats are very handy Mileage for our shorts trips is about 18 MPG The occasional highwayvtrip is in excess of 30. It's a smooth car we like it. So far, so good. Update June 2022:. The CR-V is an ok car. In 9 months we have put 5300 miles on it. We needed a second car so I happened to stop by a Hyundai dealership and look at a 2022 Tucson Limited. It's a few more bucks than the EX-L but it puts the Honda to shame. The difference is amazing Honda has failed to keep up with market. CarMax has offered to purchase this Honda so we actually come out slightly ahead. Next we will be buying another Hyundai. Update December 2022:. After further review I am discovered that the gas mileage in this car was much better than I first realized. It actually clocks in at between 27 to 34 on house per gallon around town at times. So we've decided to keep it after all it's actually a pretty good car. After a year and 4 months we have about 8,500 miles on it. Update July 2023. The car and we have settled into a happy relationship. There is no maintenance to speak of and materials are holding up well. The paint job on the car appears to be way above average. We used to have a station wagon when I was young and this is beginning to remind me of a modern day station wagon. My wife is the primary driver and she really enjoys the vehicle. We currently have about 11,000 miles on it after 1 year 11 months. We will most likely purchase it at the lease end.

This is my second CR-V (still have my 07 which is still going strong with 175k miles:) I love everything about the 2021. Drives like a bigger car in a good way, substantial and safe. The interior is lovely. Luxury feel without Luxury price. Also, regarding all the reviews that complain about confusing infotainment system, if I can figure it out (without the manual) ANYONE can. Love my Sonic Gray Pearl CR-V

Awesome space. Brought the car for the spacious cargo and got it around for 28325 for EX trim. Guys, nowadays dealers are giving a good price. Please check with another dealer to get the price. Initially, I was hesitant to get this car. Now I am happy with the price they offered. Drove 3000 miles and super cool

Purchased a new 2021 CRV in August. We have only put about 3,000 miles on it and went to start it the other day and it wouldn't start. The whole dash started flashing with all kinds of failures. We checked the battery, fully charged. Had to call for a tow. The Honda dealership couldn't start it either. The codes were U0100 F-can malfunction and U0038 IMA Can Malfunction. They don't know why and said it's an intermittent issue that could happen again. My Honda warranty does nothing for me since they couldn't locate exactly what was causing the two codes to appear. They wiggled wires, cleared the codes and did a battery reset but found nothing else wrong. I specifically bought a Honda because of I thought they were supposed to be high quality and a car I could rely on. Now I'm scared to drive it as who knows when the intermittent issue will happen again. Is it going to fail while I'm driving? I've lost all trust in my brand new car and prefer to drive my 14 year old Toyota instead. $33k for a lemon, buyer beware.

Ive had this car for 3 mths. bought brand new. Drives great, but the paint is terrible. Thin and soft. So far Ive had like 5 rock chips and there are some scratches from the unknown. I did not get paint protection on this car because other cars Ive had in thr past never needed such thing. Cars made today should be painted better.

Boy, do I love this car. It feels like it sometimes is driving itself with the lane assist. I love the seat warmers. I love the sound system. I love that I can take a turn and it grips the road. I love that it is so smooth driving and going over bumps. I love that I can put my GPS from my phone on it's more than ample big screen. Did I say-... I LOVE MY HONDA CRV!!

I totally hate the auto start/ stop feature. You should be able to disable it from the "SETUP" program and/or adjust the delay for the engine shut down. Main reason I hate it is that it is my wife's car and is typically driven on very short trips around town. Typically she goes thru 6 start cycles in under 5 miles., 3-4 times a week. The battery never recovers above 12.25 volts . . . which is a 70% charge state. YES . .I know there is a disable button you can push every time you start out. BUT . . .it is very poor engineering to have to do that. I am looking at a battery maintainer to save having to replace a $200. battery in the near future. Car is a bad choice if you live in or visit the mountains frequently Starting out on a steep incline . . .it is gutless and scary.😊 Update: My assessment still stands. It is a great car for the flat lands 3 year update: Been a reliable car overall

I test drove several similar classed SUV's. I have had two Kia Soul's so good comfort and great audio were creature comforts I would not go without. I wanted something bigger, safer, and AWD. The CR-V EX trim for me give me the seating comfort, great audio, safety features, AWD, and fuel economy I was looking for. I shopped, I test drove everything in the same class. Check the warranty offerings and options (I got some awesome rubber all weather CR-V floor matts that are much better than the plastic Weather Tech's I bought for my Kia) - there were other options I didn't even know about before I sat down to buy the car so I passed because I hadn't planned for them. Solid smooth ride with none of the noise or underpowered engines on some of the other makes. Plan on keeping this one for a long time.

We just got the 2021 CRV Touring on a beautiful Sonic Gray color. We've had CRVs since 2002 and this latest model has a great feel on the road, no road noise which used to be an issue and the Touring comes with all the bells and whistles. Also the cargo space still is excellent, the turbo renting is very responsive, we will see how fuel efficient is but we expect it will be very good.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The CRV feels like a small car, not an SUV. The engine is loud and the transmission is pretty rough when you are stepping on the peddle and accelerating quickly. We.were very surprised how poorly this car handles in the snow. The biggest issues we have had are with the interior and the overall technology. First this vehicle is not able to utilize the Honda app for remote start, or to lock the vehicle. The Honda app is actually a pay subscription service. The screen and controls also look grainy and like they have not been updated in many years. The screen feels and looks antiquated. The number one issue is the incredibly intrusive dashboard that comes to a point between the front seats. Storage is not convenient and the front seat is not comfortable for tall riders. Overall the CR-V is just OK. It looks good from the outside, but it really feels like it needs some updates on the interior and technology. It is a great vehicle for your grandmother.

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.

Just after 60 miles, yes a new 2021 cr v with leather, waiting at a light all the warning indicators came on . The engine didn’t totally shutoff. I was only able to drive only 10 miles an hour looking at the dash flashing every code in the vehicle. Was instructed by the service manager to try to drive it into the dealership, which I did. Took me over an hour to go a few miles. After an hour was told the composed to be relearned? REALLY? I can t tell you how angry I was. At this point I can t trust the car. With COVID still around I don t need my wife and grandchildren to be stranded. Right now I m stuck with a vehicle I no longer want. I changed from Toyota to Honda hoping to get a better vehicle. Boy did I make a mistake. I don t know what to wish for more problems so I can claim a lemon law vehicle or just hope for best. I guess I have to hope this was a one off problem and a reboot was all that was needed, but trying to get my wife back in the car will be a challenge.

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.

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

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.

When my BMW X3 lease was up, I needed the affordability of the CR-V. I went with the EX-L so I could enjoy some of the same amenities I was accustomed to in my X3. I love the leather seats and warmers. The sunroof is a plus. I’m very impressed with the size. The CR-V has much more legroom in the back seat. It’s easy for little ones to climb into. The rear cargo area fit all of our luggage for a family of 4 road trip. Eventually we may need something bigger, but this is suitable for now. I love the gas mileage and efficiency. The adaptive cruise and lane keep assist are new to me, and I love these features on a long road trip. The infotainment system has given me no trouble and Apple Car Play is great to have. I love the extra USB ports. They definitely come in handy for charging multiple devices. I’ve driven literally every car in this class, and the CR-V has been my favorite by far. Though it can’t compete with the performance and experience of the X3, it has some punch - more than expected. Overall this is a great car for getting the job done safely and affordably!

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.

I got my crv in April. I have 6k miles on it, just got an oil change only 2 weeks ago. The check engine oil message is already on. I tried resetting inside the setting but it still occurs every 10 secs while driving. So annoying. I though Honda was supposed to be reliable. Oil issues with the 1.5T, think before buying or leasing this thing. I can’t wait to trade in with something else

I needed a gas sipper to put a lot of miles on. I had grown accustomed to driving my spouse's bmw and didn't realize how very weak the engine in this car is. It has no power. Other than that, it is well appointed. The style is modern and the cabin is roomy and comfortable. The four stars is for overall, but the engine gets one star.

2021 CRV Touring- Navigation is not user friendly

Travel to Outer Banks NC in July 2021, first long trip using the navigation. For starters it is not a user friendly app. The navigation only routes one way. Only changes can be made while car is stopped and in park, in slow moving traffic on I-95 it presents a problem, system selects reroute but does not show the route. Finally just turned off navigation and used my I Phone, much better than the useless Navigation in Touring model. Honda selling the CRV Touring as the best, but has the public fooled. The Honda engineers should drive using this navigation system in real world traffic. Avoid the Touring models as this is not worth the extra $$. The EX-L is far superior to the Touring. I know in the future that I will have no vehicle with Navigation.

You don’t even have to take a test drive. You’ll love this Honda and everything about it. Well almost everything. Don’t like these high tech features like lane changing warning or blind spot warning and a few others. But good news is you can turn them off if you want to. Quiet supple ride with nice handling and good acceleration with the standard turbo. And if you like roominess this vehicle is for you. Lots of room up front and in the back.
Honda is no longer a reliable car

I loved my CRV, very well serviced and well maintained, and started blowing hot air. When I visited dealer asked me to replace the compressor, clutch, and hoses. $4300. He applied labor to all the parts even though the parts are connected. That is a huge failure and a simpe google search will show you this is a common problem with several generations of CRVs. Quite disappointed with Honda, it is no longer a reliable brand

I looked at many of its competitors, but I always found myself coming back to the CR-V. I chose the Special Edition and I got it new. I wanted a vehicle better suited for the winter that was also more practical, and this has proven to be a good choice so far. I do have a separate set of wheels and snow tires that I use for the winter. The pros of the CR-V in my view are the following: I average 33-35 mpg in the warmer months and in the winter with snow tires I average 28-32 mpg. with regular unleaded gas. I haven't used the ECON button yet. I think that may be good to use if you were on long flat highway trip. The mpg I am getting is mostly from city driving. The engine is zippy but it is not a sports car. If you want power from this engine I found that it performs better if you gradually press the gas pedal rather than just flooring it. I find that the CVT is better for me vs. an automatic transmission in city driving. You get good visibility while in the CR-V and it is easy to park and get around in. It is also easy to get in and out of. There is plenty of interior room for people, pets and cargo. The remote start and heated seats are great to have. I like the key less entry and push button start . The interior seems well put together and it has no rattles. The black cloth interior on the seats is very durable. The placement and size of the cup holders and the dash layout seemed to have been really thought out. Everything is easy to see and reach. The exterior has also held up well so far with the paint and trim pieces. I have the clear bra on the part of the hood, part of the fenders, mirrors, behind the door handles, headlights and the painted area of the front bumper. I recommend getting this if you can. The 17 inch wheels and 65 series tires that come on the LX and SE trims seem to provide a smoother ride. Now for the cons: When the temp outside is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit the engine does seem to take longer to warm up. I find myself turning the heater off and on in 5 minute increments until the temperature gauge on the dash stays constant at its normal operating temperature (this is something I do out of personal preference). This can go on for up to the first 15 minutes of city driving depending on how cold it is outside. After that the engine seems to be warmed up and feel that I can keep the heater running since the temperature gauge stays constant and doesn't lower. The heated seats are great to have during this time. The seats are a bit firm and I wish the lower part of the front seats were longer in length. I find the drivers seat can become a bit uncomfortable on long trips but it is just fine for city driving. There can be a good amount of road noise (road noise was also typical with other Honda vehicles I have owned). I am not a fan of the engine auto start and stop feature. I always turn that off after I start the vehicle. The only issue I have had was that I needed the power window motor on the rear right side replaced shortly after I bought it because the window would not roll down. It was replaced under warranty. Since then I have had no problems. This has proven to be a good all around vehicle so far and I hope it stays that way for many years. I would recommend this vehicle.

Bought a 2021 CRV Touring in January 2021. It now has 35000 miles on it and we still love everything about it. I'd recommend this car to anyone. It handles well, gets great gas mileage and is a comfortable ride. Plenty of room inside and zero mechanical issues.

I truly love this car. It has so many updated new accessories and technology. It has the wheel assist along with sensors when switching lanes, sunroof, Apple CarPlay, heated seats. When getting too close to a car it will start breaking on its own. If you don’t drive between the lines and slowly swerve it takes control of the wheel and merges you back into the lane. It also has push to start and a remote start. Not to mention it’s amazing on guess and very reliable. You can’t go wrong with this car.

Bought new with 12 miles, worried next 12K miles

We bought the LX because we eventually it will be inherited by my 12 yr old son when he goes to college. The 2021 LX model has bad ergonomics compared to base models of Civic and Accord. The LCD screen is very small, you will have to squint to look closely because the quality is also poor. I hope there is an aftermarket upgrade for this. No audio jack? Cmon. At least provide 2 USB if you cant provide an audio jack like what they have on the base Civic and Accord. No power source for the rear passenger. How much would that be for an LX. Lastly, the auto idle stop and hand breaks are the most annoying features. Both are confusing. The hand break is electronic which is a user experience downgrade compared to the normal push with your feet. The auto idle stop is the most irritating feature I have ever seen. The default is always activated. There is no way around it. We hesitated on an EX. For the money spent on an EX, better spend it on a V6 Passport or Pilot.

Really miss lane watch

I've owned 6 crvs. I usually trade every 4 years. From the first to the fifth I just had to learn the new changes which were always for the better. My 2020 touring model is my least favorite. The engine is noisy and I don't care for the dying engine T stop lights. One more thing to go wrong and has to be shut off with every start. Don't care for humps over the front wheels which is a little distracting when parking. But what I miss beyond words is Lane watch which is the right side camera. Can't believe it isn't even an option. The flashing symbol on the mirror is a joke. Totally useless. I wanted a certain color so trusted the salesman and bought before delivery because I've had 5 other crvs. Big mistake.
Efficient, stylish, luxury without the price tag

Awesome car! I did have to buy a seatbelt extended for the back seats because they are backwards and also don’t extend.

Love this car! I loved my Accord but wanted an SUV type vehicle. This vehicle has lots of great features, gets good gas mileage, is roomier than my Accord and the price is right!
