Miss my V-6

The CR-V is nice. My wife loves it, too. It's a Hybrid Sport Touring model with AWD. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles a Honda can have. In spite of the extra horse power it has, relative to other 2025 Hondas, The power doesn't compare to that of the V-6 engine in the car it replaced, a 2009 Accord EX-L V-6. I miss being able to pass the car in front of me, without being afraid of getting rear-ended by the car in the next lane. The seat positioning feature drives me crazy. It's supposed to slide back automatically while you exit the vehicle, then scoot you back into the position you had when you get back in. Usually, it does the opposite. The stereo is excellent. The sounds and lights that go off, while near an object, are maddening. I'm parked in my garage well aware that the wall and other things are nearby. Nevertheless, the warning system sounds off in my garage and won't shut off until I pull out and away from everything. Sometimes It drowns out my thoughts. The breaking isn't fast and I have to break well in advance of when I used to with my accord. I was disappointed that the vehicle is so much larger than the 2010 CR-V I used to have. The 40 mpg rocks, though.
Buy something else

We leased this 2025 Sport-L hybrid AWD based on the positive reviews we'd read and watched. We now have an extreme case of buyer's remorse! Firstly, at freeway speeds, the wind noise in this $41,000 SUV is atrocious! It sounds like gravel is rattling around inside the roof. Turning up the radio helps drown out the noise a little but c'mon Honda, are you telling me your engineers didn't sort this crap out before releasing the car for production? Secondly, the gas mileage we are getting is NOWHERE near what was published. A mix of mostly city with some highway is netting us 29-30mpg, and that is in Econ mode too. We've now passed the 1000 mile break-in period and the mileage is not improving. We have various other rattles in the car. Honda is supposed to be a highly regarded brand. So unhappy that we bought this hunk of junk. And now we're stuck with it for the next 3 years. Others report that the car is easy to steal. Well, we hope ours goes missing! Strongly recommend that you don't buy this vehicle. Go elsewhere. Wish we'd bought the Toyota RAV4!

The driver seat belt digs into hip. This model is smaller width between the driver and passenger. The passenger seat belt locks and jams up. I have owned 3 CRVs and I am so disappointed in this year.
Glad it's my wife's vehicle

We purchased this for my wife replacing her 2015 CRV. She loves it. I do not, specifically for three reasons: 1) The driver's seat is uncomfortable to say the least. No amount of adjusting will make it any better. It feels like you are squashed in the seat and it kills my back. Also, I constantly feel like I'm tilted back and straining to see over the hood. 2) I still have not figured out how to dim the dash lights. I've tried every suggestion I can find on the Internet and still can't figure it out. There is no "light control knob" on the dash, which is what a lot of people suggested. When I try to adjust it on the screen display nothing I do will get it to switch over to night time mode (moon symbol). Why did Honda have to make it such a pita? And finally, 3) The rear cargo space SHRUNK. I need more cargo space, not less. I've come to the conclusion that this vehicle was designed for little old ladies and [non-permissible content removed] and that's it. There is absolutely no way I would purchase one for myself. It blows.

Honda 2025 CRV hybrid review mileage stinks

we bought this car based on driving in the city and says the mileage it's up to 43 miles per gallon in the city. but my wife's been driving it for over a week and can't get past 26 in the city we don't even drive on the highway that much. very disappointed in this car yes it looks good drives good but we bought it based on mileage now we're stuck with it. then we look up other reviews about the mileage and it says well if you take weight out of the car don't use the heat don't stop and go which is City then you can save some mileage where it says none of that on the sticker on the car. and don't drive over 65. this car is false advertising somewhere down the road somebody got 43 in the city but driving it 45 miles to the hour under circumstances that are not normal so they put that on the sheet. next time I won't buy a hybrid and I might even trade this one off you can't be just gas.
