2023 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

There is nothing sluggish about this car. Yet I’ve got a fwd not awd. It is fast and quiet in the city. Easy and fun to drive. On a hwy a bit louder. Cons: seats like a rock. All these fancy features like brake assist, holding a middle of the line, intelligent cruse control are very much unusable and useless. Brake assist is simply dangerous. It will brake hard when you don’t. somebody behind you would not expect. To turn it off you have to do it every time you start the car, meaning you won’t do it.

Pros (and there are many): - the solid driving feel and quiet cabin give this compact SUV a feel of something much more premium. I came from a Lexus IS350 and the CR-V feels just as premium - cabin layout for audio and climate controls is very intuitive. I also think the 9 inch touchscreen, while it could be larger, is quite intuitive as well. Anything you need is a simple touch away and the customization is a great feature and easy to accomplish - MPG has been good, once the car is warmed up I can consistently get 35-40 mpg city/suburban. I do not drive on the highway much but mpg does take a substantial hit there - styling; this new generation looks great and with the still night pearl blue with black wheels, I’m sold. I have gotten several compliments in the few weeks I’ve had it which is impressive for a CR-V - driving assistance features are helpful and not intrusive. Other comments here discuss experiences with these systems being over-reactive or intrusive but that has not been my experience. - interior space is wonderful. I’m 6ft tall and another full size adult can easily sit behind me with remaining knee space Cons: - highway mpg is meh, which admittedly is not where a hybrid shines - lack of top features such as ventilated seats or the larger 12in touchscreen or full digital display that the new Accord gets. C’mon Honda, no one needs an old analog speedometer anymore! Overall I highly recommend. I previously owned a 2020 RAV-4 XSE hybrid and this feels slightly more premium and refined. It drives wonderfully, has great utility, style and city mpg for the price.

How about a spare tire?

Ordered my new 23 CRV Hybrid yesterday. I learned that none of the 2023 models (not just Honda) come with a spare tire? You get a small pump and a can of goop. Might be ok for a small tread puncture, but a major blowout, better call a tow truck. I live in Phoenix, and the thought of waiting in 115 degree summer heat for who knows how long for a tow is nuts. I got two different opinions from two dealers. One said they cannot put the spare above the batteries, yet the 2021 CRV Hybrids have batteries AND a spare tire. Another said it's Honda's way of cheaping out. Lower the price a little, and try to squeeze out an extra mpg. Also, selling dealer told me that because of a parts shortage, the blind side exterior mirror indicator is no longer working, and never will be. Hey Honda. Ship the car as "blind side ready" and update it when the parts come in. That's a pretty important safety feature gone. So I'll be buying a spare tire, jack and lug wrench, and tossing it into the back of my precious cargo space. I'm sure it's a nice vehicle , but be aware of these two issues.
Some improvements needed

I’ve had my 2023 Black Ex-L AWD for about 7 weeks now in MN. Overall it’s a good car with some negatives. Rear spoiler holds water for up to an hour after full service car washes. This leaves the back windshield and back of the car looking streaked and dirty as the soapy water that gets stuck in the spoiler is slowly released over time. I have to re-clean the back area by hand after an hour or so. Because it’s unusual weather in February and March in Minnesota, with lots of salt and snow/rain and dirty roads- I have washed my car about 10 -12 times in 7 weeks. It has this problem each, and every time. I have owned 2 Honda Pilots and another CRV prior to this one-Never had this problem before. Took it to the dealership and they said it’s doing the same thing the other 2023 CRV’s are doing. They said there’s nothing they can do about it. Wondering if there is maybe foam under the spoiler area which is causing it to hold water. It’s a small issue but still frustrating. I don’t like that you cannot permanently turn off the auto stop. They should allow you the option in the settings to completely shut this off if you prefer. There is a button you can press to turn it off temporarily but you have to press it every time you are in the car.. I would personally prefer to have this feature disabled completely. There is no built in garage door opener. The positives of this car are that is an extremely comfortable and quiet ride. The seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth.. Easy to drive. Both the interior and exterior is very sleek looking. It gets great gas mileage. It handles well on the snow and the ice..
A little disappointing

Purchased a new sport touring hybrid about three weeks ago. The MPG has not been that great. Not much better than my 2019 non hybrid. I found out after I bought it that Honda did away with both the garage door opener and the driving/fog lights. Very disappointing. The car seems to drive smoother and quieter than my 2019 so I am happy with that. Update: After owning my 2023 sport hybrid for five months I will report that I am pretty happy with the car. The gas mileage has settled at 35 mpg overall which is reasonable. One thing I notice is overall lack of power and how hard the little engine works to get it. Also having some issues with the adaptive cruise control shutting off for no reason. The dealer reset the system a few days ago so we will see if that helps. Overall I am very happy with the car
