Used 2023 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Delivers What It Promises
So far the 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid delivers what Honda promises. I'm averaging around 42 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The driver's seat is very comfortable and the power adjustments are easy to use. All the safety features work well. The on screen options are relatively easy to understand and use. Acceleration is more than adequate around town or on the interstate. As I would expect, storage space is up to par, too. This is my third Honda CR-V, and it seems to me that this newest design in a big step up from the previous ones. UPDATE: I've owned my 2023 Honda CRV Sport Hybrid for about a year and half. To date, it delivers on all my expectations. The ride is smooth, it handles well, and it holds the road. Average mileage has exceeded my expectations. I usually average 43 plus miles per gallon per tank of gas, while driving both in the city and on the interstate. During a recent trip from Knoxville, TN to Franklin, TN, I got nearly 45 miles per gallon. Doing so requires that I pay attention to how I drive, but that actually helps me stay fully engaged in driving. The various assistance features work well. I have no buyer's remorse.

Just What is Needed
Quiet, smooth ride. Spacious interior, comfortable seats. Seats heat up quickly. The engine is not noisy. MPG is adequate. Currently 26 mpg mix of city and hwy driving. The redesign is kind of bland. The side and back profile very strongly resemble a Volvo XC60. One was parked beside me and I was convinced it was a new CRV until I got close enough to read the Volvo on the back. Also there is a BMW model that is almost identical in profile. That being said, negatives- The cup holders. A regular bottle of water will fall over when you go around curves. Super annoying. No homelink garage opener. No wireless CarPlay. Backup camera could be clearer. And the most annoying thing is the windshield wipers. The fluid comes out of the wiper blades, and it releases when the blades are at the highest position. Ends up wasting the majority of the fluid. Really dislike this.

No repair parts available 2023 CRV hybrid touring
I need a repair part for 2023CRV hybrid touring for several months. It is the end of June. Honda still says that they do not have repair parts available.
2023 is sleek, no longer clunky looking
I've had my 2023 CRV EX-L for a few months now and I couldn't be more pleased with it! The new model this year is much better looking than previous models, and far roomier! It's hard to believe it's considered a small SUV, it has a ton of room and is very comfy to drive. I've been averaging about 30-35 mpg highway which is great. The only real negative is when it comes to price. It took hours of negotiating just to get it down to MSRP. Honda (and all other manufacturers) need to get this price gouging at the dealerships under control. I ended up getting a fair price in the end, but it's a ridiculous and outdated model for selling cars. Would much rather buy directly from the manufacturer with no middleman. Other than that, I truly recommend this car. There's a reason these cars are so popular!

Just follow the crowd and get one!
I really enjoy my '23 CR-V Sport AWD more than I though I would. I "downgraded" from years of luxury cars, and most recently from an Audi A6 which was surprisingly very reliable. I've had a few Honda's in the more recent past too, and really like the brand. I've driven the CR-V for about 1,300 miles now with zero issues and average around 37 MPG. Not bad, but I think the Toyota hybrid system is slightly superior. I cannot vouch for the long-term comfort of the seats, but so far, 2 hour journeys are very comfortable! I prefer the heated cloth over leather unless it is ventilated, which I am surprised Honda doesn't offer as most of its competitors do. The ride and drive is relatively quiet and solid, and the acceleration is perfectly adequate. Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone shopping in this class!
