2023 and 2024 CRVs are having steering issues that hopefully have been fixed for 2025. Unfortunately, Honda America is of absolutely no help at all even though this issue is under NHTSA investigation. I love the vehicle, but two trips to the dealer have resulted in heavy dead steering and an effort to keep the vehicle in the lane. Whatever fixes Honda is recommending, it's not sufficient to provide a safe and comfortable driving experience. I've driven a 2025 model and it drives superb. If there was a guarantee that the sticky steering problem was fully resolved, I'd pay to get rid of my current 23 CRV just to get a vehicle that I'm not afraid to drive. ***Update 12/24. After haranguing both Honda and the dealer, the steering box was finally replaced in June. Two long distance roads trips later, I'm happy to report, my Honda is a Honda as it should be, no drama. Note, a recall was sent out for this very problem recently, so any buyers should be aware if the issue was fixed on any pre-owned purchase. Otherwise as stated, the vehicle performs as it should with no complaints.

The Goldilocks Compact SUV -It's Just Right

I've only had it 2 weeks, but I really like it. It's not adventurous or exciting, but it feels just right. I was smitten at first drive. The steering and brakes feel great, it's decently peppy, the CVT is not obnoxious, it's comfortable, very spacious, and everything is intuitive and easy to use. It's not cheap, and lacks some features (ventilated seats, a built in garage door opener), but it feels like a high quality vehicle. Doors go "thunk" instead of "ding" when you close them. The road noise level is a little higher than I like on some surfaces, the audio system is not the best I've ever heard, and the central display is not super hi-res, but these are quibbles. I keep coming back to how harmoniously it all works. The thing just feels good to drive. Fuel mileage is decent, running 25-30 so far. Yeah, it's sort of an appliance vehicle. By today's standards it's not opulent. It's humble. It's not too hot and not too cold. It's just right. No regrets.

DON'T BUY A HONDA even though lots are on sale right now!! Our air conditioning broke and we can't get a part. It's been three months. No end in sight. Wrote to the Canadian President of the company and zero response. Worst company ever. No one offers to help at any level.

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.
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!
