What a great decision it was to get one of these!

CR-V AWD VTi-L (2017-2023)

A brilliant daily drive. Very responsive, fuel efficient, comfortable, beautifully finished and great value vehicle.

We've had it for 15 months now and apart from a misaligned chrome strip on the driver's door (being fixed this week under warranty), it hasn't missed a beat!

Purchased in at Honda Dealers for $43,000.

Poor Design of Mid Row Seat Latch from Honda

CR-V 2WD VTi-L7 (2017-2023)

I have an issue with the mid row seat. When the seat is unlatched and latched again, the latch does not lock the seat in place. I have to twist the seat (base) for it to lock in place. If this is not done, the movement of the seat is audible while driving. Also, if there are passengers on that seat, they can feel the movement while driving.

I took the vehicle to Formula Honda Glen Osmond. 3 days later they told me that they have compared this with a brand new one from the show room and they confirmed that this is normal and no fault found. Refer to attached.

Is this an acceptable level of quality?

Oil dilution issue?

CR-V 2WD VTi (2017-2023)

I've read about oil dilution (fuel into oil) issues with the 1.5T engine; particularly in very cold weather and short journeys. I know there's a class action in the US and China has stopped selling them. Is that an issue here in Australia? Has anyone come across this problem?

Great car with a few disappointments

CR-V AWD VTi-LX (2017-2023)

Purchased a new 2022 Honda CRV VTI-LX back in September 2022. Wasn't sure about the 1.5lt Turbo after having an XR6 however out performs Subaru Forester, which has a 2.5lt (totally gutless). Find cruise control adaptive assist a bit too sensitive, as it braked on uneven road when nothing was in front, luckily only in a 60k zone.
I'm not sure about the CVT as yet.
The one thing I'm really annoyed about is that the only way the mirrors fold & unfold is by pushing a button. Surely, this could be automatic when the engine stops. The Owners manual stated you can engage auto fold by double locking, but apparently, this is not an option has my vehicle. Even though it is top of the range.
All in all, a great car.

Great SUV, but more engine options would be nice.

CR-V 2WD VTi-L7 (2017-2023)

The Honda CR-V is a great SUV but could do with a little more power for its size and to allow a bigger towing capacity.
Have owned for two years and driven 30K with no issues. Fuel consumption is 8.6lts avg.
Would buy Honda again if Honda Australia hadn't shrunk its dealer network to virtually non-existent.

Purchased in at Honda Dealers for $52,250.

Disappointed With My CRV VTI LX

CR-V AWD VTi-LX (2017-2023)

Picked up the new car in February 2021 and had problems almost immediately. At present I have been wating on a crucial safety part for 9 month and been told the part might not arrive in the country untill 2023. I can't recommend the Honda CRV as my experience has been one of bitter dissapointment. If it was possible I would trade it in now for a more reliable car.

Purchased in for $52,090.

Honda CRV

CR-V AWD (2017-2023)

I have purchased a Honda CRV . An outstanding car to drive. It feels safe, plenty of room for 4 adults. It drives like a car should do , it has great stability, you feel like you are in control when driving this car. Any excuse to get behind the wheel. The interior has everything that you need, coffee holders are essential which it has. Dashboard is well designed easy to navigate all the controls, very economic, I would highly recommend this as a family car and it’s well priced, go get a test drive and you will see for yourself how good the Honda is.

Nice care if you're prepared to keep filling it up with oil

CR-V AWD VTi-LX (2017-2023)

At 80k on the odometer, I have just been told that burning up to 1 ltr of oil per 1,000 km is normal. So anyone considering buying a CRV should be prepared to top up with half a litre of oil every time they fill up with petrol. I'm going to ditch mine and would warn anyone thinking of buying one of these.

The interior is nice and it handles well, but it has been losing power along with burning oil. Full Honda service history from new and when it comes to getting the burning of a ridiculous amount of oil fixed under warranty, I'm told that it is normal. Second and last CRV for me.

Purchased at Honda Dealers.

David Y. ·  · CR-V (2017-2023)

Has anyone noticed a leak coming from the square plastic covers in the tail gate which allow access to the light bulbs, brand new Honda CRV 2023 LX MODEL.
While cleaning the car I noticed a thin trail stain, from both sides, of what I thought was oil or something spilt on the interior panel but on further investigation it was coming from those panel covers. I’m guessing the tail light assembly might have a leak problem. TIA

I have seen the thin line. I thought it was from washing the car. I will look further into it.
