Best Car Ever!

This is my fourth CR-V and it is the best car ever. I told my husband if you put me in a car that cost three times as much, there is no way I would like it better. This car is beautiful inside and out, and it's fun.

Worst Car I’ve ever Owned

To those singing the praises of this car, you’ve never owned a decent car and clearly have low expectations that are easily met. I had a 1989 Honda Accord that was light years better than this tin can. If you want a car with poor handling, no acceleration to get you safely through an intersection, loud engine noise (for gas models not hybrid) The 2025 Honda crv is like driving a refrigerator. Seating is very uncomfortable for drives longer than 30 minutes as well. Seat belts cannot be adjusted to fit properly for anyone under 5’4”. This 1.5 liter engine is garbage.

The 2025 CR-V was the 5th Honda I had purchased. I’ve driven several generations of the accord, I owned a civic and my husband currently owns a pilot. To say I’m not familiar with the brand would be an understatement. The stylish exterior of the latest generation of the CR- V is what really drew me to the vehicle. After owning the car for 3 months, I traded it in because I did not care for it at all. I found the interior extremely cheap compared to previous Hondas. The plastic interior feels very cheap, if you press on the plastic, it creaks. The wireless “charging” will keep your phone from dying but it won’t charge your phone. The dual climate control doesn’t get very hot and if you have it going towards your body and feet at the same time, barely any heat comes out of the body vents. After doing research on this, it was discovered that this was a design flaw on Hondas part. The seat belt adapter is very stiff and doesn’t move around very much so if you have a wider hip, you may find this a bit uncomfortable. The seats themselves take some adjustment to get even somewhat comfortable. The ride was smooth but I did not like how the vehicle maneuvered around corners. Overall I see this as a major let down for the Honda brand as I typically hold them to a high hurt standard. I traded the CR-V in for a 10th generation accord which I owned previously.

Below Estimate MPG and Underpowered Engine

I'll share my initial observations after only a few months of ownership. Biggest heads up I want to share is the MPG. I took readings in various conditions: Eco Mode: Gentle Driving 29.5 mpg estimate (per my car dash) 28.19 mpg actual (miles driven divided by gallons) Regular Mode: Normal Driving 26.9 mpg estimate 24.83 mpg actual Eco Mode: Normal Driving *Same as regular mode Normal Mode: Carrying Gear (kayak and other heavy gear) 21.4 mpg estimate 19.21 mpg actual All of these mileage were mixed highway and city. Not only was it significantly lower than estimates for this car, but the dash reported mpg was also significantly overestimating the mpg. Just be aware of this when purchasing the car. The engine, even on normal mode, is slow and lumbering. And it sounds like it is struggling to get up to speed. The interior is nice and the ride is very comfortable for me at 5'11". I love the interior space and storage. This is my first Honda, so I'm still adjusting to some of the features. The climate control is confusing to me. I try to put it on cool fan and it's still hot unless I put the a/c on, then it gets very cold unless you turn the temperature wayyyy up. Just weird. Also the safety features and a little scary. It flashes "Brake" warning when there is no issue, like if you are changing lanes to go around a vehicle or if a car is turning and you are timing it to go right by as they turn. Also, one time it completely locked the brakes because it thought I wasn't braking fast enough, but in reality the cars in front of me were starting to go after the light turned red. I had to let the car come to a complete stop and then it allowed me to accelerate, but it completely disrupted the flow of traffic. If this saves me from an accident even once, it will be worth it, but it was still scary and unnecessary. Despite these concerns, I still love driving this car in all conditions and I'm counting on the Honda reliability and resale to make it worth the investment.

First time owning a hybrid. Hard to get use to moving in silence but boy is it a smooth ride. Comfortable all around and already appreciating the great gas mileage. Can't think of anything bad to say so far. Drive one for yourself and see.
