CrossTour Rocks
This is by far the best car / crossover I have ever owned. I have a 2012 EX-L V-6 and its just outstanding. This is not a Accord and is more Acura than Honda. The way it rides and performs is just outstanding. The rear view did take getting use to but is not a problem for me. The seats are great and so is the sound system. What I like the most is its the best of both worlds you have the performance if you need it and the versatility. Its also luxury too. Just a well rounded crossover and unlike anything else on the road. If you drive one you will see what I mean. I would highly recommend it with V6 and 4wd.

Comfortable Car
The hatchback is perfect since I used to have a Volvo XC wagon and wanted a cargo area. I leased the car instead of bought because I had reservations about the back window. I am thankful for the rear backup camera, which is VERY helpful in the dark. However, on the highway, in the dark, it is hard to see out the back window. My son pointed out to me that while he was driving it, he liked that the headlights of vehicles behind him were NOT in his eyes, due to the break in the window line. After considering this, I use my side view mirrors more at night on the highway. I am considering buying out my lease. Gas mileage is decent, though not as great as posted, 22 most.
Great vehicle
Wonderful vehicle. I'm a month into ownership and absolutely love this car. The build quality is spectacular, its super smooth on the highway and it excels at everything I throw at it. I drive 60+ miles a day over a mountain pass and appreciate this car every day! Its pretty decent in snow with the stock tires (snow tires coming soon). Great space for my family of 4!
Vibration Problem
It’s a very nice comfortable car but has a big problem. It shudders or vibrates at speeds between 20-24 mph and 40-45 mph. Bought it new back in 2012. Within a month or two the vibration was very noticeable. Took it to the dealer many times and they replaced many parts but none solved the vibration. I had it at the dealership so often for the vibration that they contacted the main Honda headquarters in the USA. Basically, Honda USA said that there was nothing wrong with the car. Made it seem like the problem was just imagined. But now many years later the vibration or shudder is much worse. I fear something major needs replaced and I’ll be footing the bill since the car is no long under warranty.☹️ Update: It’s now 2021 and I still have this car. The problem still persists. Love the car but hate the vibration. Feels like the car will stall. I’ll probably keep the car a few more years then trade it for something else. Update: it’s May 2022. The vibration is so bad that passengers comment on it. I’ll ask the Honda dealership where I bought it if they have any new information on vibration problems with this model.

Badass baby
Best car for the money. This has to have the 6 cylinder to be lovable. Honda turned their noses up on this car and it was called a Hog because they couldn’t sell it. This is the best damn car out there for the money. It’s heavy and it’s ride is fantastic. People missed out on this car because the salesman were convinced it was a dog. I could sell these all day long. The ordering mistake was not having the V6. A car this big needs a 6 cylinder. Honda missed the boat when they stopped making these. I believe this would have captured a much broader market if Honda gave [non-permissible content removed] about advertising this bad boy instead of keeping it in hiding in the dealerships.
