Honda CR-V reviews

I have enjoyed the car which I have had for 4 years it has been very reliable and comfortable on long runs The Honda dealer has been good and I get 35 + on a long run however not so good when towing a small caravan 24mpg

This is my second CR-V great all round visibility, comfortable and very reliable. Would recommend it to anyone.

Have owned the car for 10months . Bought to tow a two berth caravan which it does easily but being petrol is more expensive than diesel. So far the car has performed extremely well and being a Honda should be reliable. Over all I am very pleased with the car.

Would reccommend this car to anyone who likes a large and spacious car with a bit of power and a average Of 40/45 m.p.g it's comfortable and spacious and the road noise is low and the road handling is very good

superb love it

I have a Honda CRV which is the top of the range model and I find it a joy to drive. Acceleration is steady rather than spectacular and the fuel consumption is only moderate but otherwise I can find no faults. I feel safe driving it and it is a very reliable car.

best most reliable car I've ever had. Loads of space 120000+ miles - never let me down - new battery, tires, and a rear brake disc (after it sat for a winter whilst i was away on holiday) Thoroughly recommended.

This is my third CRV. The car is well specced and everything seems to be well placed and work well. Ride is generally good on smooth roads but does have a tendency to pick up vibrations from rough road surfaces - irritating. The suspension can feel slightly rough on holed and potholed roads (there are a lot of them around here). I notice a degree of torque steer on occasion which is slightly disconcerting. I have noticed similar with other vehicles so I wouldn't rate these issues as unique to the CRV. Cold autumn morning today so it reminds me of one major gripe I have (and this actually DOES apply to every car I've ever owned) - why does it take 5-10 long minutes for the heated front seats to feel warm. Too late by then! These issues aside I think it is a well designed and put together car. I would recommend it to others. Petrol consumption is good especially when you can get into and stay in the higher gears.

Excellent

The car does what I require, as and when just fine for me and my wife

Very reliable so far. Good condition well look after by previous owners. Nav system didn't work maps needed updated. Nav was replace with another more modern

2016 1.6 160BHP 4X4 CR-V very disappointed with this car. I personally wouldn't recommend buying another one as this of poor build quality,very uncomfortable seats that gives neck and back ache,very poor value for money ,very tinny sound to the car ,poor door finish when you open the tail gate up . Even though this car has only done 250 miles the only things i can say that are good is the engine and some of the gadgets that come with the car but over all i cant wait to sell it as i personally thing its a lot of money for the car as the starting price should really be from £20,000. I wish i hadn't sold my Audi for one of these, big mistake i have ever made.

I have owned my 59 plate EX for 3.5 years and trouble free motoring, and at present I am looking to exchange for a newer model in the same spec, so far no problems with the vehicle although as a mechanic I look after the service myself using Honda parts which are not to costly if you know where to look, I suppose I change the oil and filter more often than I should and the fuel filter as well which is a bit of a pain to get to, however being old school I do not believe in long life servicing, you may find you have to upgrade your rear diff oil and regenerate your diff at the same time, it seems moisture gets in through the axle breather and breaks down the oil, plus as most of these vehicles are never in 4 wheel drive the clutch plates in the diff tend to stick together, this can be done by your Honda dealer and I don think its to expensive, if you get a groan on full lock on reverse this may be the fault , worth getting it checked. Good points, 100% reliable if you look after them, excellent comfort and driving position, reasonable fuel economy if you drive it correctly, plenty space and easy access, more so for us with sore backs, all in all a good second hand buy, to expensive new in my opinion. Complaints, I wish they would put a green LED light to indicate when the AC is on as with the rest of the heating controls rather than peering at the screen, squeaky clutch pedal on some models is a pain and an expensive fix to replace the clutch slave cylinder, WD40 or such cures for a certain time but will not cure the problem, I find the arm rests are to close to your body for any comfort and generally don't fold them down, the panoramic roof blind can stick at times but the more you work it the better, I found the standard low beam bulbs not very bright and would recommend upgrading to Night Breakers or such like, its a bit of a pain to insert a CD and all seems over complicated on the unit, sound quality is good though, beware of second hand vehicles with tow bars as the clutches are not the strongest , clutch and duel mass flywheel is a very expensive repair, ensure you have a god road-test before hand. However in general trouble free as with most Hondas, plenty choice out there as well.

I bought a CRV 2.2 SR Navi i-DTEC in November 2014 new from a franchised dealer. The vehicle runs well and I am achieving the stated MPG, however I am appalled at the at the poor design etc. Within the first few weeks I returned the car to the dealer as the car's bluetooth kept cutting my cutting my mobile phone off, it was on the "list" of compatible phones on the Honda website, it took two full system reboot to rectify. The rear plastic wheel arches do not fit tight to the bodywork and is loose on the leading edge. This "fault" existed on every CRC they had in the showroom. The windscreen wipers throw water back onto the screen in heavy rain conditions. The dealer said " what do I expect from a massed produced car", I have since changed dealers. In addition, the max-min gauge on water coolant bottle is obscured by being fitted against the interior bodywork, the rear view camera gives a distorted/compacted view as a large area of the screen is taken up by the bumper. The new dealer told me that these were "normal". There are several other small but irritating issues. I drove a Lexus saloon prior to buying the Honda and I regret not buying the Lexus NX. I very mush doubt I will buy a Honda again.

As a Honda fan this car is everything I expected, bearing in mind I have on had it for a few days.With only 11,400 miles on the clock its like buying a new car.

I used to drive a Honda CRV on company business years ago and absolutly loved it. Recently we had to scrap our last car and so we needed to make a quick purchase and so I decided to focus on CRV's and glad to say I found one with FSH and relatively low mileage for its age and I pleased to say the comfort, space and handling were still as good as I remembered and my wife loves it s well. I also got my mechanic to look over it as he also agreed they are great cars, reliable and he had no issues regards working on CRV's.

this car is very -reliable and easy to drive would recommend..

Car was perfect and the sales guy was great, unfortunately I didn't get finance for it and the other finance package I was offered was a complete joke!

Bought a 2007 model second hand with 91k miles on the clock. My first 4x4. Runs very well with great drive experience. Only downside I have is the fuel consumption which despite a regular service history does knock up the running costs. Despite this I do think that it scores highly in all other areas. Intend to to keep for some years.

Very pleased with service and purchaseï
