Sport Touring Still the Way to Go in the CRV

I had leased (West Herr Honda Lockport) 7 consecutive high end Accords, until 2023 made it 1" too long for my garage. Switched to a 2023 CRV Sport Touring hybrid, and loved it. With 13 months still to go and very low mileage, the dealership offered a super early turn-in for the 2025 Sport Touring. In light of pending tariffs and the end of Sirius/XM in the 2026 ST, I opted to go with a 25. Other than not finding the color I wanted (the 26s weren't out yet), my 2025 is identically excellent since it's unchanged...except for a better horn. Still getting some dropouts on SXM signal as in the 23, but I read this happens with SXM in a couple of other brands. Road noise on coarse pavement is still too loud, but serene on smooth pavement. The Sport Touring is quieter than all other CRVs, still had SXM (gone for Google system in 26), and IMO the ST is worth the extra $ for the many other features not in the other hybrids...not even the Sport-L. (Bose premium sound, heated steering wheel, standard AWD, navigation, extra sound-proofing just to name a few). Great dealership, too. The CRV handles surprisingly well, the hybrid has great off-the-line torque, good greenhouse and, other than the occ'l SXM dropout, my 2 ST hybrids have been bulletproof. It may not have all the doo-dads of comparable Kia and Hyundai hybrids, but it has plenty, and the e-CVT is a pleasure...and Honda reliability on engines for the hybrids is superior. Good value, and I look forward to every drive...basically living up to EPA numbers in summer, sometimes better, and falling off some in winter and on extended highway drives. NO regrets.

Great SUV

While this is my first SUV I have driven others and I find this one to be and excellent vehicle. It is extremely comfortable, great handling both in the city and on back roads and the Interstate. The cruise control took a while to get used to, but once I used it for a while it became second nature. This SUV may be small but it can handle large loads including seating for four and all their golf equipment, try that in one of today's' sedans. The fuel economy is excellent. While the engine is small it has plenty of pickup and entering the freeway or passing other vehicles has not been a problem.

Worst new car I ever purchased

We bought a 2025 CRV and it had many problems. many quality concerns. It was already showing signs of interior and exterior wear and issues with electronics and wind leaks and warped trim pieces. Camera, radar, and trim pieces were replaced, but issues continued. Error codes 1 hour after the dealership serviced the vehicle. 4 trips to the dealership and 6 weeks in the shop. The dealseship was unable to fix any of our concerns. We sold it back 6 months later with 12000 miles on it. Highly recommend not buying the new CRV. Glad to be rid of it.
