Cold As Ice

Pretty happy with the car with one glaring exception. Due to the small 1.8 engine, this car takes forever to heat up to a comfortable level during MN winters. If the temperature is below 30 degrees it needs to be driven about 15 minutes just to get a little heat. Also the blower strength drops off dramatically when selecting the windshield/floor option which means I constantly have to switch back and forth between just floor then back to just the windshield which is ridiculous, I have never had a vehicle that does this before. So I am constantly juggling frozen feet and the windshield fogging up. I brought to the dealer and they said everything is working as it should, and it's just due to small engine. I would not recommend the CRV for cold weather states.

Very comfortable with solid driving dynamics and near flawless ergonomics and controls. Labelled as "boring" by those who like disco ambient lighting and a dash full of screens, but within a few days of ownership of the CRV you can adjust anything without taking your eyes off the road. No gimmicks. Downside is the well documented weak powertrain and laggy acceleration, which is tolerable and not nearly as bad as the HRV which is borderline dangerous. But still, zaps some joy out of an otherwise exceptional vehicle. Upside to the lag is that fuel economy has exceeded expectations.

It's only been 516 miles, but they've been a very good 516 miles. MPG as good or better than expected with 41 combined, car is quiet and comfortable, acceleration is great, controls are simple, it handled our ride up the mountain today like a champ, the vehicle is good looking, and came with Michelin tires - our favorite. Complaints? A few. The reverse gear noise is loud and rather annoying. Sounds like that bar trick when you run your finger around the top of a glass to make it "sing", but 10x louder. And the mee meep sound of the silly horn doesn't signal caution. It's laughable instead. And no spare, but that's how the market is heading, not just Honda. Giving it 4 out of 5 stars because we only have had it 2 weeks and have many more years to go.
Underbody Shields Falling off and Corroded

$418 to have the shields replaced, the dealer suggested this is common. I would suggest you ask your dealer if this has been fixed.

Hybrid CRV transmission recall

Bought two new 2023 Hybrid Honda CRVs For over 80K. Both car’s transmissions behave very erratically by revving up to 5000RPM or more when at cruise without any aggressive accelerator input. I mentioned this to the salesperson, and his response was that I am experiencing new car buyer pickiness. Taking one of the cars back for it’s first oil change, again I described the problem to the service writer, only to be told that maybe the oil change will fix the problem. I told her that I also own a Hybrid BMW 5 series which does not behave with violent spikes in RPM and shifting. Her response was that I should not compare one car brand with another, not even with any other Honda Hybrid model. To make matters worst I found out that Honda currently has a recall for transmission problem for Hybrid Honda CRVs. I have not received any recall letters, but describing the problem to the dealer should have triggered further action. The final failure was when on a Toyota site I attempted to get a trade in value on the Honda CRVs, the trade in calculator red flags the Hybrid CRV, and does not give a trade in value. I believe Honda is aware of this problem, but it is not being forthcoming with taking appropriate action. Don’t buy Hybrid CRVs until this issue is resolved.
