Used 2023 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Great choice
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.

Nice drive but I should have done my homework
First it is comfortable and a pleasure to drive. It is attractive inside. I have the Sport Hybrid (EV). It gets 33 mpg on highway but can be over 40 mpg in town if you are paying attention. Now for the irritating things. The car charger is crap. It suddenly started charging my phone after a year but the phone has to be 'just right'. The center console has a cheap latch ... I mean really cheap. I purchased some side molding (dealer installed) and they are very cheaply made. They fall off and dealer has installed them twice. They are coming off again and I will try to put them on with 3m tape. The one major item is no spare or tire tools. I have not had a flat in over 10 years but somehow at 3000 mile had a huge cut in the tread. There was no way to add air as it just leaked out the huge hole. I then looked at trying the inflation cassette they supply with the car and realized it was useless (plus a new one is over $150). So bought a spare and tool kit. Bottom line it is a nice car, but at over $50k ... the irritation of all the little things has taken the flow off the car. In comparison, my 10 year old Tacoma has none of these issue after 130k miles.
