Honda Crosstour - It is not an SUV - it is a versatile mid size hatchback sedan

The typical auto industry reviews I have read of the Crosstour simply do not get it. It does not fit neatly into their ideas of a sedan, so they lump it in with SUVs and wagons, and the say it is lacking because it has less cargo capacity than square SUV designs. I spent 22 yrs driving mini-vans and full size SUVs. My kids are grown, and I could shop for what I wanted. I did NOT want the SUV, or just a smaller version of it (CR-V; RAV-4; Mazda 7 or 9; Ford Edge, etc etc.) I wanted a capable, comfortable, sporty, sharp looking mid size sedan but with the versatility of a hatch back so that when needed, I could open it up, flip down the seat backs and have the space. I got it!
Surprising Choice!

My husband and I wanted to upgrade to a larger, safer, 4-door vehicle. We looked at smaller SUVs and station wagons. In fact, we almost bought the Subaru Outback 3.6R, however the gas mileage was not impressive at all. Our FJ Cruiser gets better gas mileage than that. And the quality was...ok. We happened to pass by a Honda dealership and seen the Crosstour out front. I had to test it out and to my surprise, it was everything we wanted and more. What a comfortably smooth ride! I have been averaging 23-27 mpg, depending on traffic. The interior is incredibly comfortable and the looks of Crosstour is very sleek. I feel like I am driving a very expensive, luxury car.

As a senior citizen I have owned quite a few cars, My 2012 Crosstour is one of the best, or maybe the best, I have owned. Some reviews complain about the rear vision as it is divided into two sections and takes a little getting used to. However, the back-up camera is flawless and a great aid when scanning in back of you. I bought this car new in March 2012 and both my wife and I have been more than pleased with its economy, versatility, reliability, comfort and room. Lowering the rear seats is as easy as pulling two handles and the seats flop down. The space gained is incredible for a hatchback sedan and since we have children living quite some distances we have hauled a lot of stuff. Gas mileage is extremely good for a 3.5 L. V-6. We generally get 26-27 mpg on a trip and 20 around town. Since I do a lot of maintenance myself I find changing the oil easy enough except I find it's easier to reach the oil filter by jacking the car and removing the passenger side wheel. We now have a little over 62,000 miles on the car and the only thing we have had to replace are the rear pads and rotors (a surprise to me as I thought the front ones go first). I am disappointed that Honda is not longer making this model and I believe 2015 was the last year.

I have been driving my 6-cyl 2012 Crosstour for three weeks now. I shopped for over a year for a new vehicle. Leaving a SUV, I had mixed feelings to go down to a lower height vehicle. The mid range height of the Crosstour was the main attraction for my purchase. I have no problem getting in, or out of the vehicle. The heated seats feel great of my lower back also. I agree with other reviews on the sound system, roominess, and quietness: Excellent. My husband said it was tight. One thing I notice on two lane roads... when i wish to pass around other vehicles, I just go. No hesitation. I feel confidence in this car.

I traded my 2010 Accord EXL w/Navi with 80K miles for new 2012 Crosstour. I drive 30K a year. After 3 neck surgeries, I found I needed to sit a bit higher for comfort. I am 5"10. I tried the seats of various SUVs, vans, cars, etc. I sat in the CT and it was perfect. Right height and comfort. I already have 3K miles in 3 weeks. Mileage estimates were right on. I get 27-28 mph with the V-6 on the hwy, 22-23 mixed driving. Car has a unique style. I don't mind. Rear view camera and auto reverse mirrors are a nice plus. I purchased the cargo organizer for the hatch area. The car handles well but not as precise as the Accord. Navi is like previous Accord--easy to use.
Crosstour is FUN!!

Haggle for a couple weeks; it'll be well worth the extra effort. Walk out on 'em 3 or 4 times. You'll snag a nice "toad" and enjoy a wonderful set of 18" wheels! UPDATE: After 2 years of fun, this zippy "Toad" is still the most enjoyable vehicle to drive. Just heard the first brake squeak the other day...sounded like a rear brake. Honda did a beautiful job on this Acura TL...ummm I meant... Honda Crosstour. 5 stars all day, all year, all seasons. Update: After 4.5 years of worry-free cruising and new rear brake pads, we still love our beautiful white Acura, or rather Honda Crosstour. I am now on the official Honda bandwagon. This car is the best purchase I’ve made since our marriage 23 years ago. No complaints and no car payments!

It took me awhile to wrap my head around the fact that Honda is putting out a better product than Audi & BMW. Honda seems to have overbuilt the Crosstour to ensure it would attract the attention that it is getting. No flaws. A shame Honda stopped making them. They will become collector cars with a certain group.

How could a guy who's used to Cadillacs and Corvettes end up with a Honda Crosstour? Believe me, I've heard this more than once from friends and Family. I'm actually a little surprised myself. But the plain truth is this... Cadillacs just aren't Cadillacs anymore and Corvettes are priced higher than my first house... And I'm not THAT old. I went looking for a new car for <$30K. What I found, after going from dealer to dealer, was this... They all looked alike... Ford, Chevy, Toyota... It didn't matter... They all ran together in my head like a myriad of counting sheep. Then it happened... Driving north on I-75 one Saturday afternoon... I'm clipping along at a speed slightly higher than the

I decided to downsize after driving SUV's for many years. The hatchback makes for an easier transition. I owned a Honda Accord Coupe many years ago, but did not like the new style. I am so glad I found the Crosstour. This car looks great, sporty but still a four door. I am shocked at the reviews criticizing the look. I looked at the Lexus and the Infiniti, but didn't really want to purchase high octane fuel. I don't drive my personal vehicle to work. It's so fun to drive, I can't wait for the weekend so I can get in my Crosstour and go! I love that there are not very many of them on the road right now. I absolutely love this car.

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.

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.

I can't ever say with all of the cars that I've owned that I found and owned one that is chic, sporty, unique and as eclectic as this particular vehicle. It's a bit deceiving because you're actually driving an SUV but you really don't know that it's an SUV. I have so many people asking me, what kind of car is that! They're very surprised that it's a Honda. Many think it's a BMW. I love everything about this vehicle. Everything!

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!

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.

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.

I recently puchased a used Certified 2013 Crosstour with 33000 miles. Honda made a big mistake when they decided to discontinue this one! First, 95% of the owner reviews are very positive. People come up and say what kind of Honda is it and they've never seen it. Other owners tell you how happy they are with it when you bump into them. On top of all of that, it has Honda quality. I've previously owned a Toyota Highlander, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes, and every type of high end American Car. I like the Honda Crosstour the best. Hidden storage area, easy parking, great ride, great economy. I am totally happy about everything except one thing. The 2013 didn't have the modern navigator and voice call recognition that I had with my 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited. Honda should come up with more modern after-market radios to upgrade the limited radio/telephone/navigation system. As far as existing sound quality, it's already fabulous. Great purchase for anyone!

Just recently this month traded a 2009 Honda Pilot in for a 2011 Cross-tour! I love this car, no regrets of downsizing. I notice either people love this car or want nothing to do with it. I found the car offered a lot. The pilot was just a little to big for me and I missed the car feel. the crosstour drives very nice and has a lot of upgrades in it. I bought a V-6 and the car has power. The rear window does take some getting use to but the back up camera helps a lot with that! I find the car to accommodate my needs very nicely and when I have talked to people randomly of how they like the car, they all have said they LOVE it!

I like hatchbacks and station wagons. There, I said it. My psychosis is put out there for all to revile. From my Dad's first 1960 Buick Invicta station wagon until today, hatchbacks and station wagons catch my eye. The only view of this five door hatchback I find less than attractive is the rear end. The front is sporty and aggressive, the profile is sharp and very attractive. From behind it looks like some weird little Euro-poofer. But, it's a fast and sporty car with utility in the hatchback. It's not fancy and it's not "luxurious". Sporty is what it's all about. I have the 3.5 liter 6 with 4WD (not AWD, actual 4WD) and all the tech, including a right-side-mirror lane monitoring camera (I LOVE THAT). The only complaint, and really, it is the only complaint, is the driver's seat (so therefore, presumably all of the seats) is hard. But it's that sporty kind of hard for taking fast, sharp curves, etc. It's well designed, built, and bolstered but it ain't a plush Buick chair. Mostly, I am okay with that. It has 278HP and accelerates faster than my 2003 Audi A4. It's as much fun to drive as the Audi and it can carry a heck of a lot more stuff home from Home Depot! On the highway, the Cylinder Management kicks in and goes from 6 cylinders to 3 and gets 28mpg for long cruises. I can use the cargo space for many large things. For 8 out of 10 utility things, it works fine. I've had almost 500 lbs of gardening supplies (e.g., huge bags of soil, fertilizer, umpteen stepping stones, small landscaping timbers, etc. A LOT OF STUFF, to the ceiling and from the hatch to driver's set back) in the back end at one time with no problem and it didn't seem to impact the handling. It's a Honda Accord, in essence, so you know it's reliable as heck. I've had it four years and haven't had one second of problems. One irksome little issue is the KEY FOB dash lite seems to come a lot - but NOT when it's at the Honda dealer for service. Hasn't been a problem but it's irritating. Many think it's funny looking but let me tell you, it's funny looking all the way to the bank (and quickly). SOLD THE CROSSTOUR IN APRIL 2017 AND GOT $19000 IN TRADE.

I bought my used 2013 Crosstour (27,100 miles on the odometer) to replace my old Civic because we needed a larger vehicle. Cargo space is just perfect for my wife and I (no kids). Rear visibility is a bit compromised, but that is the only demerit, which is alleviated with the backup camera. The car accelerates great for a 4 cylinder! Fuel consumption is good for a car this size. And it looks like nothing else out there. I have owned Mustangs, Camaros, a Subaru WRX and a few other exotic looking cars, but I never had one where I go to the garage just to look at it. Not that many of them on the road and judging by m research, it holds on to its value really well. Plus, it's an Accord for all intents and purposes, so parts are plentiful and inexpensive. I have a bad back, and the height of the vehicle makes getting in and out very easy on my back. A great car to own!

I live in Colorado and was looking for a sporty, performance, all wheel drive vehicle that would be fun to drive....THIS IS IT!!! V6 is great, braking is great, and the car is comfortable with lots of room! Glad I made this choice, don't regret it for a second...(blind spots are as advertised, pretty tough, just need to be more aware).

I love my Crosstour, rides great, the acceleration is great, just a Awesome vehicle. It has a smooth ride, the ride is so comfortable, just a fun vehicle to own. UPDATE: This Honda Crosstour is Awesome 💯. The ride is great, if you put on the right tires, you can't hear nothing going down the road. The engine is so quiet, and it handle bumps great. UPDATE: Had my car 4 years now, I love it. Bought it used, but in great shape. Only thing I did, had the timing belt replace with water pump. Make sure you get that done before, or at the 100,000 mile mark. This vehicle can last for years.

My biggest complaint, With every control done by wire, the brake cancelling gas pedal control is the worst. There is a time lag from releasing the brake till the engine recognizes the gas pedal signal. Very discerning when you need quick reactions. After 5 years, the drive by wire control is still a problem for me. The car is a very user friendly. This is my wife's comment. The navigation system is the best I have seen and used. No major problems so far.

I owned a 2006 Civic and needed a larger, more comfortable vehicle. I almost bought a CRV but was attracted to the strong V6, the excellent build quality, comfort and the fact that I would be buying a car that every other person in the world had. I purchased my Crosstour as a certified Honda with 39,000 miles on it and it and I've been impressed with the ride quality, comfort, safety, and build quality. some people complain about the view when you look in the rearview mirror but I have found that after a couple of days one gets used to it. I happen to like the styling and think vehicle looks very good and to V6 engine is extremely powerful. This makes a great family vehicle and I would strongly recommend it.

I am so pleased that I bought this vehicle. I have been a Honda owner since 1998, and this car by far surpasses my expectations. It's roomy like an SUV but drives/handles like a car. The sideview and back up camera are my favorite feature. This car is well worth the money and the value holds up. The inside of this vehicle is just as luxurious as my BMW, but with half the expenses.

This Crosstour was a choice my wife made to replace her 2005 Accord that she has owned since new (which now has 324,000 miles on it!). After 2 months of looking she decided on this one, she chose very well. Quality and comfort, she loves every detail. She uses all the technology on this car including hands free, navigation, side view and rear view cameras, lane departure warning, and the list goes on. This car has get-up-and-go when you want it and gets 31 mpg when cruising on the highway. She has no regrets in buying this car.

Looked at Venza and subaru. Both were good vehicles, but glad I ended up with the crosstour. Venza ride seemed a little rough and a outback with v6 was more expensive. For the money the crosstour just seemed more luxurious. After driving my wifes es350 i wanted a car with a better ride. Loved the car like ride with the ability to still haul some things. I look forward to a little drive now. Stereo is great and love the feel behind the wheel of this car. I like the look of it and love the ride. Honda sold as many of these in 13 that subaru sold some months. So less out there and way more unique. 3 times as many venzas out there also. Im 6'4" and have plenty of room behind the wheel. Hope it last me a while!! Got to drive it to appreciate it. If you can find a nice used one don"t hesitate to check it out!

I’m a Honda girl, so I’m a little biased. My last two new Hondas were Accord sedans. This time, I decided to get the 2013 Honda Crosstour in Mountain Aire, which is a beautiful color blue. I love the versatility of the car — with the pull of a handle, one of the back seats folds flat, and if you pull the other handle, the other back seat folds down flat, making it a mini SUV. I fit five medium pet carriers back there for vet visits and during a hurricane evacuation. I like the deck height at the rear of the car. When you open the hatchback, you can slide things in and out at a comfortable height. If I drive right, I can get 39 miles to the gallon, which is exceptional, considering the size and weight of the car. The car has several upscale features, such as a camera in the passenger side sideview mirror, so you can see traffic in your blind spot. I ordered the E-XL model, which has navigation and leather seats. The driver seat has an eight-way power adjustable seat. The front passenger seat has a six-way power adjustable seat. It has many personalization options, such as whether or not to beep your horn when you lock the car with the key fob, which interior lights, if any, you want to come on when you open the doors, which doors you want unlocked when you hit the unlock button on the key fob, and the rearview mirror will automatically aim down when backing up, and you can choose at any time which one you want to aim down - left or right. All in all, it’s a great car. I’ve had it for 10 years and I don’t plan on replacing it anytime soon.

Bigger than it looks

2013 Honda Crosstour EX 4dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
I bought this car because of its enormous trunk capacity (even without putting the rear seats down), and Honda reliability. It scores well on both counts. I opened the hatch to show a friend, and he said, "Man, you could have party in there!" :) The 2.4L and auto trans work well together, and it has enough acceleration to get by. The ride is comfortable and relatively quiet. My only complaints are of personal preference. I'm used to slightly smaller cars, and this one is bigger than it looks. The long wheelbase needs a wider radius for a U-turn than I'm accustomed to. This and other 2013 Hondas are behind the times, lacking dashboard computer displays of mpg and miles to empty that have been around for years. The Crosstour is cool, but my next will be a Civic hatchback.

Bought this car back in July of 2012. Rides like a 5-series BMW, tight, strong, very smooth. Traction control on car is EXCELLENT. Idiot hit me in rear end very hard, few scrapes on back bumper, very strong car. Great on gas too, the only jab is the power in this car sucks. But if I wanted that, I would have bought a porsche, not a Honda. Even so, it would be nice to have at least 70 more hp in this 4 cycl. For sure when my lease is up, I'm getting the 6 cycl. Great car though, 4 REAL size people can sit in this car, and I mean 6'2" 200 lbs dudes and leave plenty of head and leg room. Cudos to Honda on this car, but please, MORE POWER in 2014.

A little low to the ground and this has come into play as an AWD vehicle. The car is dependable and safe, but be aware the passenger seat does not heat-up like one would expect. The drivers side seat heats up well. now nearing 70k.

This car's natural hatchback look like a SPORTY car but the front look of the CAR which imitates ACCORD would give no doubt about its professionalism. EXL 6 CYL AWD Engine makes you feel so comfortable to drive with ease.

Just bought "13" Crosstour. It was the only car that filled all our needs. Build quality is flawless. We are first time Honda owners. Loaded with tech goodies that all work as they are supposed to work, not like Ford's MY Touch by MicroCrap and GM's gouge you every month OnStar. If you are not a race driver "want a be" and don't want to spend 50k on a Benz or BMW show me a car that does what the Crosstour does without breaking a sweat. Just had the first repair and it was brakes...rears had issue due to lack of lubricant on calipers causing corrosion. Front had the typical rotor warping....it is high time that car companies stop using cheap rotors. Other than those issues the car runs like a new car. The AWD is the reason I bought the car and it is great!! Still going and a great car all around.!!

Coming from an older accord this is a nice transition, without going to big and boxy SUV. Particularly like the blue dash lights, large nav screen, xm buttons, darkened rear windows, 3 view rear camera, right side camera on demand, safety rating. Banking on Honda reliability I've had in past. Update:. Vehicle is still fine. haven't figured out the best way to transport a medium dog safely with no scratched seats.

I knew the vehicle I wanted when I walked into the dealership and the dealership in its own right is a whole different ball of wax nor do I wish to elaborate. The Crosstour has better handling than I expected from other reviewers though not as good as the 2011 accord which I also own. Four wheel drive I learned by the way does not mean you can go over 60 on ice and snow and not expect to spin out. The car did manage to right itself again when in a 200 yard skid over ice and snow as I realized the safe alternative would have been to travel at like 40 give or take in the first place. I didn't hit anyone or anything fortunately as the thoughts were going through my head, "please not the mail box, and I don't see anyone in front or behind me!" I have had it off road and it can get frustrating in thicker mud as it seems to clump and traction seems a little less (with no dents or scratches). It seems to have good cargo space as I am able to fit my string bass in the back and the seats all to easily come down. I also like the cabin as it reminds me of my old 1979 toyota celica supra with a lot more comfort. The ride is very good with little or no distortion over bumps or rough road. As with any car I recommend Sea Foam gas and oil treatment every 3 - 6 months.

Severe Floor Board Shake - hesitation

This is our second V6 AWD crosstour. We have a severe floor board shake at 22mph- 30mph. If you in stop and go traffic - the car will even hesitate along with shaking the floorboards and gas pedal. This is a major design flaw and it's much worse in normal drive then in S drive - using the paddle shifters. The car also shakes real hard at 70-78mph on the highway as - tires are balanced This is a Engine and or Transmission design flaw. Had it in our 2010 and now worse in our 2013 - The put the VCM in the Acura RDX and people are complaining about the same problem. I'm just waiting for something to break loose under the hood and cause a accident. HONDA FIX YOUR MAJOR DESIGN FLAW

My first Honda. The transmission has a very annoying high pitched whine that the radio cannot drown out. After numerous complaints and trips to the dealer Honda does nothing. I’ve driven 3 other Honda’s of the same model and they didn’t have the whine that mine does. Only Honda has serviced the car and my rear brakes are totally worn out but my front brake pads have 85% of there original thickness. Seems very strange.

I feel somewhat divided about my Honda Crosstour. I love the ride on my Crosstour but at about 3 years in the carpet in the rear on both passenger and driver side started to pull away i tried to tuck it back and it still pulls away regularly. It makes no because it's only me in the car for the most part. My second dilemma is my interior lights seem to have a short in them. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't . Most important problem is my backup camera. Very dark. And the backup camera in this vehicle is very very important. My car has been back to Honda numerous times and I have been told it doesn't look dark it's fine. Finally I demanded that the camera be replaced. They claimed to replace it and it still doesn't work. I have had so many near accidents because of this And still over and over I have this problem. I don't want to take it back again to be told the same thing. I am exhausted feom this situation. I would go back to the Toyota brand but I fear I will get nothing for my Honda.
Great vehicle

Bought it new back in 2012. Loved it at first because I have owned 2 Honda Accords previous to this purchase. There is a vibration between 21-24 mph. It feels like the car is ready to stall. Took the car back many times for this problem in the first year of ownership. Honda replaced a few different parts but the vibration never went away.

Make sure you're coming comfortable in this car, that's one of the only things I don't like about it, and the reason I would sell it, its not a fun car to drive, point A to B. At nothing more, the power..yes only the v6, I wish mine was AWD it may make a difference in performance significantly,
