Fun to Drive / Decent Utility / Unique

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.

Great value - quality

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 perfect!

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!

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.

The hatchback of all hatchbacks

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.
