Smooth ride. No road noise. I test drove another crv and it had road noise and the gas pedal required more pressure

So far I like everything about the Honda CRV except it does not have the left side rearview mirror when changing lanes

This is our fifth CRV, not a Hybrid. I am getting 31/34 mpg. It’s a more stable and smooth ride, and it’s longer and wider than my previous CRVs. Infotainment and cell phone charging are also an improvement. Auto start feature is easy to get used to and all of the parking warnings keep me from scratching my bumpers. Honda really listened to their consumers. Well done.

2023 CRV Hybrid Sport touring MPG 30-33

I've had so many Honda cars in my life and I wanted this specific model because of the AWD and gas mileage. Here are my pros and cons... We will start off with the cons. CONS: 1) Gas mileage listed cannot be obtained. I normally got 34 with my 2018 Honda Civic Turbo. I was expecting to get better gas mileage which was a primary reason for my purchase. I'm getting 30 - 33 with this 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid. 2) Braking... this car has so many safety features that if you are on the freeway and try changing lanes, the car will pull you back into your lane and it will break without you expecting it. Its great you won't be able to hit anything but your head on the steering wheel when it decides to brake while you are looking right to start your merge and move you back into the lane you are trying to merge out of. At least the airbag didn't deploy. 3) This car has great difficulty getting up hills. It has NO power. Honda says it can pull up to 1000 lbs but I don't think it can tow anything given it crawls up any hill with a loud whine without towing anything at all. 4) The gears... I was looking forward to the snow feature but after you turn off the car and turn it back on, you don't realize it went back onto normal mode until you are sliding across the icy road. I have to remember every time to put it in snow mode when there is snow. It doesn't do this in economy or normal mode. 5) The car makes a loud singing sound when backing up. 6) No fog lights are available for this model car. 7) When you turn off the car, sometimes you don't know the car is turned off but the door locks won't work so you know you need to get back in and turn it off. PROS: 1) The ride is very comfortable and smooth for long drives. The heated steering wheel and seats are great in extreme cold weather but the steering wheel heater doesn't automatically turn back on when you turn on the car. The seat does. 2) The car is roomy inside. 3) The cup holder works for different size items.

Bubbles the CRV-EXL

Hello! This is my second CRV. I turned in my 2020 Honda CRV EXL (my first car) when my lease was over! I was so excited the CRV went over a makeover! TO START, I will be the Debby downer and start off with my complaints. Since I am 24 years old, looks and color does matter to me. I was extremely disappointed Honda did not offer more exterior and interior choices like Subaru and Toyota. To add, the front seats are beyond uncomfortable and nothing like my old CRV. The middle console is small and I do not like the layout. Lastly, the back window could be larger because I find it small when I am backing up. I understand these are more materialistic and personal preferences however, I will be looking at Subaru when my lease is up for more options Now, typical Honda- my Bubbles drives wonderfully in the snow. I live in Central NY where we get a lot of snow. Having AWD, ground clearance, reliability, and durability is why I have decided to get another CRV. I love the pickup on the highway, the gas milage, and how the gas pump you "touch" to open it. Also, the inside storage is awesome. I have so much room when I take my younger sister, her 80 pound lab, and my 80 pound pitbull on local adventures. The safety features are amazing and I love the touchscreen on my car. Lastly, I love the new AC/HEAT layout. It is super powerful! Overall: 8/10- I want Honda to come out with more colors, fix the seats, and fix the middle console.
