Used 2018 Toyota C-HR XLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Super Sporty
I owned a Subaru Legacy and had thought to buy another when the time came to purchase. I was blown away the first time I saw this in a parking lot. I love that it looks like a 2 door. Felt like it would be above my price and was happy to find it affordable for a beautiful new car. I test drove it and then walked away for a week. Went and drove a Subaru Crosstrek, Nissan Rogue Sport and Mazda 3 then went back to the CHR. I smiled and laughed the whole time I was driving this car. So much more fun then the others. Handles great, speedy and sporty. I have had so many comments that it looks like a car from the future or a spaceship. I love that, couldn't stand the thought of a boring sedan. I took a risk and went for the red, I had the windows tinted and it looks hot! No worries about it being a new model since it is a Toyota. Dealership was wonderful and made the sale a pleasure. Hope to have it for a long time. The only down side is the small back windows do create more of a blindspot than I am used to and if I had children in the back seat I don't think they would be able to see out. But since I don't have kids it is not an issue for me.

Almost great
I found it interesting that the C-HR's I test drove early in the model introduction were under powered. When it came time to buy 8 weeks later they were much better at acceleration. The handling and breaking are great. The body styling for the back seat door handles creates a large blind spot on the right side. I do lengthy highway drives and use audio-books to keep me company; all 2018 Toyota's have discontinued having a CD drive in the entertainment system. This may be great for a younger audience who lives their lives through a smart phone, but I miss the CD. In so many ways the car exceeds my expectations, then in other ways I had not previously considered important...it is a frustration. I have since added an aftermarket audio system replacing the OEM unit giving me CD and Navigation along with the AM/FM. At 23K miles it still drives nice and has been problem free.

1000 miles in.
This car is the perfect size for our family of 3, a good alternative to an SUV. The space and cargo area is great for the vast majority of our purposes. We were sold on the handling and ride quality. We drive a lot on very curvy roads and highways that are in bad shape and were surprised at how stable the car feels. Love the adaptive cruise control as standard equipment. The car is slow to excelerate from a stop, but once it’s up to speed there’s no issue passing. Bluetooth doesn’t synch quickly with my phone, so that’s the one annoying thing. There’s a lag before it plays through the speakers. The backup camera in the rearview mirror is a bit odd, but I’ve never had a camera before, so I do find it very useful. I love the look and would choose it again.

UNRELIABLE
DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I have maintained my car well (with Toyota care package) and I am an older driver that does not push my car very hard. At 76,000 miles- with no warning at all- I have complete transmission failure. The dealership says it is $9500 to replace the transmission. Haha!!!! Why would I replace a faulty transmission with another of the same? What am I, an idiot? Toyota lost my business over this one.....

Love at first sight!
Was not even thinking about buying a new car when I saw a C-HR on a local dealer's lot. It was so unique, I went home and looked it up on the Internet. When I saw the Radiant Green with the iceberg top option, I knew I had found my "mid-life crisis" car. I found one about 100 miles from my home and talked my reluctant husband into going to look at it in person. It did not disappoint! We made the purchase and 6 months later, I love it as much as when I first saw it. The sporty, yet elegant design is ingenious and the distinctive two-tone color scheme is so attractive that I get compliments on it everywhere I go! The interior is well-designed and very comfortable. It glides down the road with little effort. The handling is fantastic. I love the safety features and the convenience of the on-board computer/Bluetooth connection. My only regret is that it did not come with a built in GPS. Why, Toyota?
