2016 CR-V View from the Experience of a 2003 Owner

By paula wilcox written on 04-11-2016

Love Hondas. I've had four of them. I loved my 2003 CR-V. After 13 years, it still ran great. It never demanded much maintenance. It just seemed time to get another. I bought a 2016 CR-V EX. The drive is smooth with a little wind and outside noise. It turns easily, which is good for U-turns and pulling into parking spaces. Gas mileage is better in the 2016. With the 'econ' on, it gives 30+ mpg in the city as opposed to the 23 mpg in the 2003. The 2016 feels roomy and gives the sense of being strong and solid. The seats are comfortable. What's wrong with it? What do I miss that my 2003 CR-V had? What I loved about the 2003 were the storage areas, big and small. That set it apart from just a regular car. The 2016 has less immediate cargo space. I expected the back seat to pull forward, if necessary. It doesn't. The backs of the seats do fold down perfectly flat, however, which will help for really large items. The 2016 has fewer little storage areas in the front. The center console typically lifts up and has a little storage room; but, because all the electronic ports are located in there, it doesn't have much room for storage. The glove compartment is adequate. The small cargo area, the glove compartment, and the small console area--that's it for storage. I miss the little niches in the corners of the console/table of the 2003. I slipped the handles of litter bags in those niches. Now I hang a litter bag on the blinker stick. A woman needs a litter bag in the car, particularly when her passengers are children. The rear door lifts up just like every other SUV. The 2003 rear door opened out. A door that opens out means it can be hip-bumped shut when your arms are full of grocery bags and other stuff. A door that opens up means you need a free hand to lower the door or push a button for it close. It means another trip to the car just to close the rear door. These are minor issues. The 2016 runs smooth and feels tight, secure, and roomy. But, it seems Honda made the interior more like a car and lost some benefits of being an SUV.

What a Gem!

This is an update from a previous submission when our 2016 Honda CRV Touring was only a couple months old. It now is 9 months old with about 11,000 miles on it. It has been driven in all sorts of conditions and weather, including a trip from Ohio to Florida and back again. I am happy to report that this vehicle is better than ever and has performed flawlessly. The Honda Sensing safety features have proven to be quite impressive, keeping the car in its lane on the extended highway trips, and a couple of times the autonomous braking system deployed rapidly enough to prevent accidents we might have otherwise been too slow to prevent. This crossover is the perfect blend of car-like performance and ride coupled with utility, AWD, and abundant amenities. I've had a lot of nice new cars over the years but none have been better than this in this price range.

Some bad surprises with an otherwise great car

By Tom written on 07-13-2016

There's a lot to like about the CRV Touring model. But a couple things really surprised me - and not in a good way. I traded in my 10 year old Civic for this new top of the line CRV. I expected - silly me - that this car would have at least as much going for it as s 2006 Civic. Wrong. 1) on my old car, the "voice" icon button allowed me do all sorts of things - including change radio stations by voice command. With the new CRV, if you are in the GPS mode and you want to change to a specific radio station, you have to punch four buttons on different parts of the screen. Very unintuitive and difficult to do while driving. Why couldn't they at least install physical radio station buttons under the screen? You can use the "source" button and scroll through all your stations, but again, that means sometimes pushing 7 or 8 buttons just to change a damn radio station to the one you want. 2) The many (MANY!) setting displays for the dash are mostly superfluous and navigating through them is not easy. And I've yet to find one that prominently displays you speed -- again, a feature on the 10 year old Civic that worked well. Given that the speedometer is hard to read, there should be some other way to see how fast you're going. 3) The camera on the right side of the car for changing lanes and turning is great. But wouldn't one on the left side be even more useful? Why one on the right but none on the left? 4) The rear window is really hard to see out of, compared to many other comparable crossover makes and models. 5) Finally, I kick myself for not noticing that the storage compartments in the console and doors are teeny. Much smaller than the old Civic, and this is a much larger car. Is it too much to be able to carry a small pack of tissues, a pen, some change, a cell phone and tire gauge in your car? Update January 2017: The things that frustrated me before still do. And the displays are crazy. I needed to reset my warning light that tells me tire pressure is low. The buttons shown in the manual don't exist on my Touring model. It took the dealer 15 minutes to figure it out. It's hard to make the rear seat go down flat. The cruise control numbers starting appearing in kilometers, but everything else is in miles. Have spent way too much time with the manual and experimenting, and it looks like that will be another question for the dealer. And the rear visibility and blind spots suck - especially on the left.
