Honda CR-V

After spending a few months extensively researching cars, the Honda CR-V VTi-X is the one that ticked all my boxes and was within budget. This car would be ideal for families as it's so incredibly roomy! Plus the rear doors open up a full 90°, which makes loading things into the back seat a lot easier.

I love how the gear shifter sits up high, leaving oodles of room below it for storage. The entertainment system is easy to use, although lags very slightly now and then, but it has decent sound.

The car is surprisingly great on fuel considering...

Searched for SUV that is affordable, Quality built with reasonable resale value and the 2021 CR-V came on top of our list. Spacious inside with the standard inclusions. Acceptable power and comfort for a medium size SUV.

Purchased to replace an ageing captiva. The Honda was being compared with other 5 seater SUV s on the market. We use this as our family car and have 2 young adult children and ageing parents so back seat room was important.
The wider opening rear doors are great.The ride is quiet and smooth.
Excellent fuel economy and leather seat a luxury we can't live without.
Only downside is, like every new vehicle on the market, sooo many bells an whistles.Fortunately in the Honda they are easily disabled if you wish.

I've had a few Hondas in my time, from Civics to Integras to Accord Euros. All of them were brilliant for the money: well engineered, fun to drive, and impeccably built. We bought our current CR-V due to an expanding family, and for this purpose, it's great: incredible space inside, comfortable, versatile and well specified for the price.

However, we have been shocked at the build quality of our car - a Honda no less. In the 2.5 years we've owned it, we have had the following issues:
1. Faulty steering rack (complete unit replaced)
2. Faulty ...

I bought CRV2020 , just within first 2 years it had trouble with electrical fault and oil leaking .
I do book service often by Western highway honda.
I don’t recommend to buy CRV

So far I havr enjoyed my time driving the car however noticed some glaring issues in my first week

1. Constant whisting noise on the passenger side of the car. When I hit 60+ the noise comes. I have doubled checked that the passenger side door is shut. Very annoying

2. The back seats have little to no head room for adults! Is there an aftermarket seat mechanism that gives some more headroom? I am 180cm and just about hit the roof!

What's to like
+ Standard safety features including adaptive cruise control (the main thing for me), forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and others as part of Honda Sensing safety suite
+ Digital speedo and other helpful features on the driver info screen
+ Android auto and Apple carplay
+ Satellite navigation
+ Roomy interior space (like massive compared to other midsize suv's) in the front, back and cargo area
+ Economical, running at average 8.6 L/100kms regular unleaded petrol for a mostly suburban driving
+ Nice balance of ride...

We decided to down size from our bigger SUV to something a little smaller and more economical as we are now empty nesters. We travel regionally and need an SUV for ground clearance as well as day to day metro driving. We bought a 2013 Honda CRV VTI-L AWD with just over 100k's. It has the 2.4 litre engine and 5 speed auto. The car is easy and light to drive with good quality build and comfortable leather seats. There is ample space front & back and when you drop the back seats they drop flat.
THE GOOD:
The Engine: This is a strong and reliabl...

I purchased a 2018 top of the range CRV but am extremely disappointed with the Satilite Navigation system. The system can update on traffic but is way out of date

I've had this car for 1.5 years and have done 14,000km and I've had a few issues, the head unit went crazy and started doing random phantom button presses, the head unit was replaced.
The tailgate hatch developed loud squeal from the hatch strut that was replaced, the hatch strut was replaced.
About to take the car back due to high fuel consumption 9.8 l/100km, it has never gone below 9.7 even after 800 km of freeway driving and the emergency braking will sometimes slam the brakes on when the cars sees road markings for a bus ahead

We bought a crv last year, 2019, as our family car because we were expecting to have our first baby. I consider it a quality car, the look and the feel is premium. I haven’t been using the car much since March this year because of work from home arrangements due to the pandemic. Only time I got to use the car again was last month, November, when my daughter started childcare. Problems started to arise and I immediately noticed a clicking sound when steering the vehicle, doing full turns left or right. It was irritating to hear and most times yo...

I have a now 10 month old VTi-LX AWD model. Noticed a couple of months ago a really bad rattle coming from the centre console area. Luckily the service manager at local Honda is from Canada and knew what is was. One of the drivers seat bolts had come undone and was loose in the body. They found it and replaced it with a new bolt and nut. Apparently the seats do not bolt direct into the frame but have a nut and bolt arrangement.
Like other people, there are lots of dashboard/door/engine bay/sunroof noises that can't be traced. When I took...

We chose this car because it ticked a lot of boxes on the paper e.g. 7 seats yet medium size, panoramic sun roof, turbo etc. but my experience so far after driving it for 18,000kms in 1.5 years is not too far from 'bad'.
1- Parts and Customer service: We had a cracked wind screen and it took 3 months to get a replacement because of some issues with Honda's production line in Japan and oddly there was no stock anywhere in Australia.
2- Warranty and Customer Service: We noticed moisture in our rear lights this winter and took it to the dealership...

Primarily my commuter car (3days a week), but also great to take the family out on weekends. I love the responsiveness of the engine and the feel of the drive which reminds me more of a sedan than a standard SUV. Can't comment on service as yet as it is under 1 year old but so far everything is ticking along nicely with no servicing needs at all.

CR-V parking sensors both at the front and rear are not functioning after a year of purchase. Both sensors have gone quiet when parking and one of the rear sensors fell inside because it was not glued well I think. During the first month of service after purchase itself, one of the rear sensors fell off its pocket and the service person fixed it. Parking sensor issues are ongoing for the Honda CR-V I currently own
