Great Car, One Major Flaw

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.

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.

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!

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.

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..

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.

Outstanding vehicle overall

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.

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

Had mine 3 weeks and love it!

I have the CRV-EXL 2023 model. I'm getting 28-29MGP city and 38 plus MBP highway. I love the interior even though it black in color meaning it absorbs more interior heat in the summer. Due to a lack of inventory I had to settle for the black interior. It has a quiet ride all around. The features are almost endless. Auto headlights that turn themselves off after you leave the car. A large and easy to see and read display screen. Heated side mirrors with blind spot detection lights. Warning sensors for when you get a bit to close to curbs or other objects (Front and back and side warnings). Cellphone charger. Just lay your phone on the charging area. Lane departure warning. And when your following to close to a vehicle or the vehicle suddenly stops it has brake assist. And many other features! As far as the negatives I don't like the feature that shuts your engine down when you have it running and are at a stand still for say 15 seconds or more. When you accelerate there's a slight hesitation while that feature restarts the engine. You can turn the feature off though! I love...totally love the fact all you have to do is touch the start engine button and it immediately starts. No holding the button down for 5 seconds to start the engine. One more thing...I love the adjustable position memory seat feature. My wife can set the set to how she likes it and I can also. When we enter the car we press the button and it adjusts to our liking automatically. Very roomy vehicle.

Liked my old CR-V better

Like: integrated technology, smooth ride, super quiet, being able to remote start my car. Dislike: Cargo Area-seats do not fold down flat (there is a hump in the middle), huge gap between front seat & cargo area, nowhere to harness a dog, no storage cubbies. The power front seats cannot be programmed to go all the way back when exiting (seat memory). I have owned CR-Vs since they came out and the basic designs were always functional for someone who only buys SUVs because I own big dogs. The new design doesn't work well for hauling dogs. So disappointing.

CR-V EX loses some features :-(

In a time where tech features should be increasing v decreasing, Honda no longer offers the satellite radio and navigation system options on the CR-V EX. This forces one to move up to a more expensive EX-L or Sport model or go to ??Subaru/Toyota. Poor choice that will likely result in losing some Honda customers including me...

Honda reliability but nothing special

Rides well and gets great mileage. Infotainment system nothing special. Just connects with your phone but nothing much else. Some features taken off from 2022. No longer get your rear charging port, no longer get the alarm for lane departure or lane change assist warning. Tray in center consul not included, but shows it should be there. With excepting the safety features, others are just perks but disappointed that 2023 reduced features, instead of increased features. Especially with the other comparable vehicles within the same market have most of those features plus a better infotainment system.

Really nice to drive and ride in. It is quiet on the road and.very comfortable.. Much roomier and easier to get in and out of than the Toyota Camry Hybrid that I traded in. The Safety features are really nice and useful The EXL AWD with a 1.5 turbo engine has plenty of power and pickup and no problem with merging in traffic.

My wife and I drove this 2023 CRv, with all the options after driving a Rav4. Immediately I noticed a great difference in the quiet cabin, tech features and the smooth ride. It was a joy to drive. I was almost completely sold until I pressed on the accelerator. There was no immediate response as transmission shfits were undetected. The reason being is the CVT transmission. If this thing had a common six or eight speed transmission, I would buy it today. It is a cut above the Rav4, with the exception of the transmission.

Ignore low tire light

The CR-V Low tire light comes on even when there is nothing wrong with any of the tires. If you are on a 6 Lane toll road at rush over you are encouraged to "find a safe spot" and pull over. With your tire gage go and check all your tires. Why would a low tire light come on if all your tires are fine? I even took it into the dealership where they checked the tires and told me they were all correct. The light according to Honda is to "remind you" to check your tires OR it is telling you it has a low tire. Either/Or. All my other vehicles (this is my first and last Honda) the light comes on when you really do have a low tire.

Not perfect for the price

Cons. The negotiation process was painful. The base sticker price...approximately $36,500.... is not even close to the asking price of over of $55,000 plus. The dealer had already added many options and more were proposed totaling $18,000 to $20,000. We negotiated "as is" and still had to pay for some options not wanted. Profit is in the options. Other complaints....no built in garage door opener, navigation system is dependent on Apple Play or Android Google map, seats are a little narrow for a larger person, the passenger seat sits too low for my wife and cannot be raised. Cargo area is not flat with rear seats down. Overall a bit pricey. PROS. Like the new design. Rides firm and handles nicely. Good safety and driver assist features. Anticipate good gas mileage. The EX-L features are close to the prior year models "Touring". Only the hybrid comes in the Touring trim level.

Came out of a highlander and found the Honda cr v exl. Price was right compared to the 45k plus highlander. Cabin is nice with plenty of room in the second row for the kids. Saw a review saying there was no spare tire, which wasn’t true for me, it’s there. Overall very pleased with the driving experience so far and love the seamless connectivity of the phone to screen tech. Overall very pleased with the money to value ratio, and the driving experience.

Great handling, but hard seats

Tom, 11/28/2023
2023 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

We had the CRV for 3 months. Let me start with the positives: The handling and driving experience are really great. Coming from a Honda Pilot, the CRV feels almost like a sports car. The steering is superb, nicely weighted, direct and accurate. The suspension is tuned perfectly. As for the acceleration, the CRV is not the fastest off the line. But on the highway where it matters, there is plenty of power to pass, and that power is there without any delay. It is simply a joy to drive! Or it would be, if it were not for the hard and uncomfortable seats. The seats are ok for shorter trips (like the test drive when we bought it). But there is just not enough padding to make it comfortable for any trips longer than half an hour. It feels like the body if forced into one position, and there is no give. Now to Honda's credit: The position that the seat forces you into looks like "ergonomically correct", in a sense that you are forced not to slouch. I'm sure they had this in mind when they designed them. But the fact remains that they are uncomfortable, and my back hurts after a while. This is a subjective thing of course, so you may be ok with it. But I recommend to check this carefully. We have a few other nitpicks, such as a weak heater (it takes more than 10min to generate some heat, and even then it's not much). Also, I'm fairly tall (6'1) and when I crank up the seat high enough to get enough leg room, my head literally hits the ceiling (which is compromised due to the sunroof). But these were not deal breakers, every car has some issues. For us, the main one was the seat comfort.

The vehicle has less than 500 miles and I have had to factory reset the infotainment center multiple times. This was because it can not find my phone. A Samsung Note 10 which is on the compatibility list. Next the windshield fluid pump works intermittently and the Honda's of the Avenue service center actions taken to fix the problem is terrible. The distance sensors do not pickup any collision alert until the vehicle is approximately 1 foot from an object.

The 2023 EX-L is our 4th CR-V. And while it is beautiful with lots of technology compared to our 2007, I am disappointed in 1) not having space to sit my purse when in the passenger seat; 2) I prefer a standalone gps system and not have to tie up my phone (and battery) with Android Auto; 3) no vents or charging ports for back seat passengers; 4) drink storage in doors is awkward; 5) front passenger seat is too low/needs a height adjustment lever. Things the 2007 has that I miss include: 1) the drawer under the front passenger seat for storing manual and paperwork; 2) the hard rear shelf; 3) the extra storage slots in the front console. Give me more storage cubbies, a standalone GPS system, rear seat charging and vents, somewhere to put my purse, better drink cup options, a higher front passenger seat, and I'll be happy.

Amazing car. AWFUL steering! The speed-adjusted/speed-sensitive steering in this thing is ABYSMAL. Probably the worst (heaviest) steering I've ever felt in a car. Makes the car completely unusable. At any speed over 15mph the steering wheel will essentially lock up. Utterly immovable (except by professional body-builders). Do you enjoy a comfortable, effortless commute? Not in this car. Ya like fanning the steering wheel when turning? Not in this car. Impossible to do. Do you possess Herculean strength and enjoy using it every single time you want to make even a micro-adjustment in the helm of your car? Then the CR-V might be for you. Under 15mph the car is a pleasure to steer. Over that threshold, the speed-adjusted steering effort is SO aggressive that this car is IMPOSSIBLE to maneuver. I don't know who greenlit the steering effort for this vehicle, but they completely ruined what would be an otherwise perfect car.

This is the worst car I have ever owned. It has a very loud cabin when driving on a highway and you can feel every bump in the road. Stiff suspension no navigation in the exl model. Stereo system is just ok.

I traded in a 2019 Honda crv which was excellent in Texas. However the new 2023 crv is by far the best yet. Smooth ride, lots of room, lots of pep. I receive praise every where I drive it. Honda is going to sell a lot of these. So much better than the 2019 (even though I really liked my 19). Really glad I purchased this one.

Seriously? No SiriusXM!

The last 4 cars we have owned have all had SiriusXm radios including 2 Honda CR-V's. This new 2023 CR-V only has an AM/FM radio. We had already signed the papers and wrote the check. After we got home with it, we called the salesman and asked why they hadn't activated the SiriusXm. He said we needed to call Sirius to set it up, so we did. Sorry, your radio won't take SiriusXm! The car salesman obviously didn't know it didn't have a SiriusXm radio installed. We told him that if we had known, it would have definitely been a deal breaker. We even asked about trading the car back in for our older one. We couldn't do that because we didn't have the registration yet and that would take about 30 days. He said we could download the SiriusXm app on a phone and plug it into the car. That works ok until you hit a cell phone dead spot while driving. Also, the handy release latches on the sides of the cargo area that you open to lay the seat backs down are gone. You have to pull the release on top of one seat then go around to the other side of the car to pull the release on the other seat. Which again is ok unless it's pouring rain, then, you'll get soaked. Honda must have gotten a good deal on black cloth, because most of the exterior color options only come with a black interior. On the positive side, the 2023 still handles well when driving, the seats seem to have more cushion and the headlights are great. We've owned it for less than a week, so there may be more positives after driving it for a while. For now, we are just very disappointed in what Honda has taken away from the CR-V standard trim.

I Don't want a Sun/Moonroof

Test drove a 2023 CRV. Liked - good hp, vehicle felt solid, quiet ride. Dislike - new look, front looks too long big and bulky. Dealer rep said sunroof/moonroof comes standard on the new CRV models, I would rather have the extra inch or two of head room.

I was surprised with the New SUC and initially had concerns as I’ve owned a Yukon for the past 15 years and downsizing was the MAIN thing as I like to drive in comfort . When I say the CRV EXL well exceeded my expectations. It’s a great vehicle , very comfortable and it’s beautiful . I’ve only had it a week and haven’t gotten fully knowledgeable on all the features . Thnx Honda for becoming a part of my family for the very first time

2017 Accord LX coupe had better base features

I bought the CRV LX.AWD The base model. My 2017 Accord L coupe was totaled in a storm and needed to be replaced. The coupe ceased being make after 2017 so decided to give the CRV a shot.. Disappointments-- ONLY one USB port, seriously? No blind spot camera on right side mirror, buttons on steering wheel for volume and cruise are TINY. driving in "econ mode" get only mileage for last fill up or reset, no "current drive" mileage, manual seat(2017 LX Accord had 6-way power seat).C-D pillars creates HUGE blind spot especially with no blind spot camera. Positives--Love the room,overall great visibility except C-D pillar area, nearly or as good or equal gas mileage. FULL sized spare! Leg room and back seat room plus they recline slightly. Can step into and out of the vehicle instead of crawling in and out as opposed the the Accord coupe!

Wonderful little car--dont let the :"smallness" fool you. It can haul lots of stuff! It is not fast, but is quick and can change lanes or pass other cars with ease. Cabin feels good, it is not cramped but not huge. Mileage is wonderful--took a trip in July to the midwest and averaged 34+ doing 80 & 85mph. My only complaint is Honda took out the CD player. I go places where even Sirius XM cannot get through. It could also use a larger gas tank. Love the shifter instead of paddles and remote start plus power tailgate are worth the cost.

Great Car... I have had many Hondas. I have tried to jump ship to another Car manufacturer. And I keep coming back. I tried the other SUV's. But the Honda CRV Hybrid Touring just feels more solid. It feels small compared to my Honda Pilot. (which is exactly want I wanted). Very quiet, very good feel of the road, very good visibility. All the climate buttons are very easy to find and use while driving. Other brands you just have to think a little too much to find a defogger etc. Its quick enough, and I feel safe. The other brands will have to wait for me a bit longer. Good Job Honda

Trouble with adaptive cruise control

Bought a new 2023 about a year ago, having trouble with the adaptive cruise. Dealership tried to fixed it twice and still not working. Very frustrating on a long trip when you have to use your foot on the gas pedal most of the way. Not happy with the outcome of this frustrating problem. Loved my old model. Nothing but trouble with the new one!

I have driven a Honda Accord Sport for years, & love it. I tried to buy another one but it is now only produced in hybrid. I am not interested in hybrids. I drove the CRV gas version because I thought it was nice looking. I did not like how it drove, interior looked cheap & there was a lot of road noise. Since Honda only offers the sport in hybrid & I do not feel comfort with that I have crossed Honda off my list. They have lost a loyal Honda customer.

I struggled to give up my 2007 CR-V. I put over 136,000 miles on it. We had a best friend relationship. I have been considering upgrading to a newer model and of course it was going to be another Honda. When I saw the new body style, I immediately fell in love with it. I love my 2023 CR-V and I see a new best friend relationship again.

Couldn't be happier with our purchase. UPDATE: I have driven the new 2023 Honda CR-V for 3 months now, and I have to say that I love it more every time I drive it. It rides so smooth. It is the smoothest driving SUV that we have ever owned by far. I read someone's review about not including Sirius. It absolutely has Sirius installed on the radio. We were fortunate enough to get 3 free months, but after that, it is your responsibility to pay for Sirius. I just wanted to clarify Sirius is actually an option for anyone looking to purchase a new 2023 CR-V. It drives well in Snow mode. It does very good on gas in Econ mode. My recommendation after 3 months of driving one, if you are looking for a good SUV, the new 2023 CR-V is a very good option.

I don’t understand the engine / transmission combo Honda uses. This car I test drove was 1.5l Turbo and it is dangerously slow. It takes solid 2-3 seconds for engine to “scream” after flooring the pedal. This needs to be electrified or something, but I wouldn’t recommend as this is deadly slow.
