I bought nearly the identical model to the one you guys have, about a month ago. Have 3100 miles on it. My job requires me to drive about a thousand miles a week so I spend an inordinate amount of time driving and I have to say, between the seat and the driver assist features, the miles just melt away. So effortless to drive hundreds of miles a day. The sport mode can be a legit amount of fun and livens up an otherwise sedate driving experience. I’ve seen up to 45 MPG and I get about 500 miles to a tank. Filled up my tank with the gauge cluster telling me I had 5 miles left to go; only put a bit over 12 gallons in it (14 gal tank) so I still had over 60 miles of range. Could push a tank to 550 I think without much issue. Great vehicle that I will be keeping for the next several years

The seats, pillars and ceiling are all black and you have no other interior color option unless you have the highest trim (Sport Touring) which offers a gray interior. At that point the vehicle is well above $40k. Personally I felt claustrophobic and depressed. The videos can’t fully convey what I felt. Again, that’s just my personal observation.

I’ve owned several generations of CRV’s & sometimes the new iteration loses features: 1. No spare tire (in an SUV?) All the CRVs I have owned had flat tires at some point in time. It was ALWAYS lifesaving to have a spare. 2. No self folding rear seats- my 2012 CRV can self fold the rear seats at the pull of a handle. This was great! 3. No fog lights- I have also found this useful in getting less tunnel vision in areas that were dark, with no street lights. It’s useful seeing where the edge of the road is, a safety issue. 4. No Honda picnic table- It was just so cool to whip that out that made people’s eyes large- a surprise wow factor. Evolution is not a straight line. Sort of like Microsoft products.

I never really understood why some people replace their Hondas, Toyotas, (and a few other reliable A to B brands/models) frequently. The whole point of cars like this is to make them last as long as possible with minimal time, fuss, and expense. Keep that 2009 as long as you are happy with it, it is reliable, and meets your needs!

I just traded in my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Limited for a 2024 Honda CRV Sport Hybrid Touring Limited. With the Hyundai I had engine oil leak problems from the engine pan, and the hybrid would go dead, complete battery drain, when parked for two weeks in my garage, while gone on vacation. Leaving me stranded, and waiting for Hyundai roadside assistance. I had to wait two months to get an appointment for Service from my local Hyundai dealer. And after inspection, they said there’s nothing wrong - That this is perfectly normal for Hyundai hybrid. I even insisted they bring the mechanic out to tell me that to my face - he said the same. Service even suggested that while on vacation or traveling, I remote start my car ( by internet ) even if it’s parked in my garage to recharge the battery. I said not only is that a carbon monoxide problem, ( and a fire hazard ) to have an unsupervised vehicle running in a closed garage. I told the Service manager, “Don’t piss on my shoes and tell me that it’s raining.” That’s neither normal, or acceptable. I left the Hyundai dealership and went next-door to the Honda dealership, traded the Santa Fe, and bought my CRV. Bye-bye Hyundai. I usually hold onto my cars for a long time. I traded my Subaru Outback at 12 years; my Honda Ridgeline pickup truck is seven years old and running strong, but when it came to my brand new Hyundai hybrid, I got rid of it when it was one year old, and 12,000 miles on the odometer. The combination of mechanical problems, failure to honor warranty for repairs (deny, deny, deny) and awful waiting facilities. Six small chairs, a coffee pot, in a tiny room with a bathroom that’s been broken for over six months. That convinced me it was time to part company with Bud Clarey Hyundai, and the brand itself. Buyer beware.

Having actual buttons is a must for a vehicle. You need to just feel the button and use it. Keeping your eyes on the road. Always a plus. Just negative is the hybrid battery takes out a spare tire. This can be remedied, but that’s extra money. The US model doesn’t have fog lights but the European models do. The US has blanks in the bumper and Unser buttons next to the steering wheel so they can be added. But again more money. Only two negatives really on an otherwise impressive vehicle.

I care a LOT about driving, have been in Hondas and Acuras for 40 years, as well as Audi, BMW, and Porsche. My wife just bought a CR-V Sport Hybrid, replacing the TSX wagon we'd been driving for over 10 years, and she is very happy and I love driving it. We were originally (in the winter in WI) getting mid-30's mpg and were disappointed. Over the summer it's been mid-40's mpg and we are no longer disappointed. You have to clear your mind of typical motoring preconceptions when you drive the CR-V hybrid. There is no connection between engine speed and road speed, and if you can let that go and just focus on enjoying getting from point A to point B, it works very well.

@@benoit.b9337 you haven't made a point. You're essentially "JAQing off" (just asking questions). I don't know what your concern is. You first said that you were concerned with the car not being built in Japan. If that was your reason for concern, you're going to have a hard time with the entire lineup because only some versions of the HR-V and Civic are built in Japan. The rest are built in North America. Then you said "developed". The US pretty much has had its own Honda lineup for years. In other words, the Honda cars sold here are, for the most part, developed here. So what's your concern?

Benoit, Honda has built Accords in Marysville, Ohio ever since 1984! I think you can rest assured the quality from Marysville will continue to be top-notch. It’s all about their central corporate philosophy and how they train their people. Contrast that with Nissan JATCO CVT’s which were designed in Japan whose first generation transmissions have been really bad. I own a 2013 Maxima with the 2nd gen JATCO CVT. No problems so far at 70K miles, but still a bit worried as it ages.

It’s the benchmark for a reason. - it looks good - drives way better than most and tied with the cx5/cx50 - nvh refinement is tops - high level of suspension polish - build quality is tops, fit / finish feels German - lots of space - good storage - high levels of polish all around If you think the crv is boring, you should drive a RAV4, and say that again. The Crv is leagues better in every aspect than a rav4 or venza. There’s a reason Hondas are known as the bmw 3 series of their category because they’re so well rounded

Make sure you test drive one before buying. I test drove a CRV Sport L Hybrid a few weeks ago. After sitting inside, I realized how dark the interior was. The seats, pillars and ceiling are all black and you have no other interior color option unless you have the highest trim (Sport Touring) which offers a gray interior. At that point the vehicle is well above $40k. Personally I felt claustrophobic and depressed. The videos can’t fully convey what I felt. Again, that’s just my personal observation. Do whatever works for you.
