Not the quality I expected
The vehicle has less than 500 miles and I have had to factory reset the infotainment center multiple times. This was because it can not find my phone. A Samsung Note 10 which is on the compatibility list. Next the windshield fluid pump works intermittently and the Honda's of the Avenue service center actions taken to fix the problem is terrible. The distance sensors do not pickup any collision alert until the vehicle is approximately 1 foot from an object.

CRV sport touring 2023
Exterior and interior styling very NICE, has the feel of a much larger vehicle with all the extras included. Having fun trying out all of the diving assist programs. We filled the storage area with Sam's club supplies for couple months and had room left over. Dealer upcharge was not appreciated but the dealer we were at sold the 3 they received in 2 days!!!

Still Learning
The 2023 EX-L is our 4th CR-V. And while it is beautiful with lots of technology compared to our 2007, I am disappointed in 1) not having space to sit my purse when in the passenger seat; 2) I prefer a standalone gps system and not have to tie up my phone (and battery) with Android Auto; 3) no vents or charging ports for back seat passengers; 4) drink storage in doors is awkward; 5) front passenger seat is too low/needs a height adjustment lever. Things the 2007 has that I miss include: 1) the drawer under the front passenger seat for storing manual and paperwork; 2) the hard rear shelf; 3) the extra storage slots in the front console. Give me more storage cubbies, a standalone GPS system, rear seat charging and vents, somewhere to put my purse, better drink cup options, a higher front passenger seat, and I'll be happy.

Amazing car with a killer flaw.
Amazing car. AWFUL steering! The speed-adjusted/speed-sensitive steering in this thing is ABYSMAL. Probably the worst (heaviest) steering I've ever felt in a car. Makes the car completely unusable. At any speed over 15mph the steering wheel will essentially lock up. Utterly immovable (except by professional body-builders). Do you enjoy a comfortable, effortless commute? Not in this car. Ya like fanning the steering wheel when turning? Not in this car. Impossible to do. Do you possess Herculean strength and enjoy using it every single time you want to make even a micro-adjustment in the helm of your car? Then the CR-V might be for you. Under 15mph the car is a pleasure to steer. Over that threshold, the speed-adjusted steering effort is SO aggressive that this car is IMPOSSIBLE to maneuver. I don't know who greenlit the steering effort for this vehicle, but they completely ruined what would be an otherwise perfect car.

Read before buying!
2023 Honda CR-V hybrid review We got ours pretty much fully loaded and have over 7,500 miles on it since taking delivery in late December. Comfortable ride for a Honda, relatively quiet interior (except when the noisy engine kicks in when not in hybrid mode) and pretty intuitive and modern interior layout. Pros: - Adjustable passenger seats - seat memory for 2 drivers - heated from seats - remote start built into remote (with option to subscribe to app based remote start and features after the 3 month trial ends) - actually fun to drive and drives almost like a civic (uses same platform) - cutover from gas to hybrid is seamless and makes no noise like a lot of vehicles - struts built into hood release ensuring an effortless way to open without using conventional “rod” - very good viewing angles when driving - very good amount (angle) of recline for rear seat passengers - love the physical click sensation using the hvac and volume control buttons! - love the orange stitching on the black seats (however if you hate orange or any contrast stitching this might bother you unfortunately) - good sized armrest storage area - front dashboard is laid out very intuitively/clearly and very easy to read - Bose sound system is good (not excellent however) and remarkably better than the base OEM version Cons: - no cool seat option - no ventilated seat option - no full lcd driver dashboard (only roughly 2/3’s) - must use premium fuel in order to get a range of roughly 450 miles otherwise with regular it gets roughly 350 on average (not mentioned in manuals or anywhere) - no panoramic sunroof option - optional accessories that I purchased are low quality (the rear retractable sliding cover for the trunk no area is thin and flimsy and the weather mats are low quality as well. - no “3D” parking mode aka view from above to show whole car - no camera when making right turn to show blind spots (some old Hondas used to do this) - heads up display option would be nice - no hard physical button to manually adjust brightness for panel displays/dashboard - no extra storage in rear below floor due to it being hybrid (bad planning or oversight by engineers) - should offer seat leg support extension for taller drivers - fog lights removed - rear seat recline adjustment is very poorly designed - missing rear temperature controls - missing heated rear seat option - rear cargo/storage area is not flat when seats are folded down - missing roof rail racks by default - no ability to monitor exact tire pressure amount (psi) for each tire wheel sensor - sunroof sliding light cover is very thin and allows in more noise than thicker ones - missing front window deice button option like Canada model has (not to be confused with from window defog button built into ac controls) - small glovebox - noticed some poor cut outs in the floor carpet - passenger control cover came off and had to reattach it but it doesn’t attach smoothly (could be a one off fluke or global issue, not sure but will have dealership look at it) - horn tone is weak and embarrassing - (this is more of a personal pet peeve) there are three empty missing buttons below dashboard for missing options so despite car being fully loaded it appears options are missing and hence not visually/ascetically appealing - would be nice to have cornering headlights that turn with the steering wheel - missing built in home link for garage door opener - No power folding mirrors - Interesting goof: all the 2023 CRVs are missing the rear left passenger seat pocket on drivers seat back Despite the Honda engineers missing some elements as pointed out in my cons above, they did ok for this first round new release. You have to keep in mind that they use the best engineers for their Acura product so they did the best they could with the limier talent they had but if you want better quality in the USA you will have to spend for Acura. I did point out these points to Honda in email but received a scripted response stating thank you for letting us know which gave me a bad impression of their customer service. Understandably they are looking at maximum profit and likely most customers are not as discerning as me by these short cuts, features and/or suggestions I’ve made. And at the end of the day I have to remember this is a Honda not a Toyota so I have to curb my expectations as it relates to quality and attention to details.
