My 1st Hybrid - all I could hope for.

Excellent car - getting 40mpg for local driving. Very comfortable interior. Very good "electronics" - Car Play, Navigation, Sirius, and more. Love the paddles to control deceleration.

I am happy with car.

The radio system needs improvement. no Gps unit in vehicle. For the money invested, I would have liked to have a GPS. Most other vehicles have a GPS built in.

I love the way it drives. Only have the car for aweek. Its been getting 37 mpg. Very comfortable and fun to drive. The rear seats go down flat. It has the XLE package. Power sets a plus.

Beautiful small SUV for the $$$$

Roomy in the 2nd row seats, plenty of cargo space. The vehicle is quiet, and comfortable. Were comparing to Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, but with the fuel tank issue on the Toyota, we looked at and purchased the Honda CR V Hybrid

Honda CRV-best car I have ever owned

Smooth ride, accelerates well, climbs hills with ease, beautiful red color, beautiful design, comfortable. My previous CRV was the best car I ever owned and I look forward to my new car also serving me well.

Great Car

We love this car. Has all the bells and whistles that we wanted. Rides great and is quiet. This is the 5th Honda and 3rd CR-V we have owned. Have been very pleased with all of them.

Easy to drive, easy to love; IF you drive to music

Got a good deal on Touring, have owned for just over a month. Taken it on several long car trips (one 400 one 700 mile) there and back. With the safety features it practically drives itself on the highway, is super comfortable and roomy. Sure it’s not as peppy as the Ford Escape Hybrid (or the Rav4) , but I can feel plenty of power off of a stop and if you’re concerned, throw it in sport mode and it’ll speed up very quick. Compared to those two other cars, the ride quality is noticeably smoother and it’s transitions are seem-less. If you want an easy driving car, this is for you. If you want something sportier, go for a CX-5 or possibly a 2020 escape if you want to spend less. If fuel economy is why you’re buying the car, it is certainly better than a non hybrid but doesn’t do as well as a Rav4, I’m averaging 33 around town, and 32 on long car trips on the highway. The biggest downside to this car; the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System. It sounds something like a spaceship or creepy church choir and is pretty loud in reverse. With the windows up, you can only hear it at stop lights if you know to listen for it, but with the windows down you’ll notice it. This hasn’t effected the score on my review for one reason; every single time I drive I play music, and with the stereo on you can’t notice it pretty much at all unless you really know what to listen for. So as long as you like music, not a reason not to buy the car. The styling feels upscale and this car will do its job in style to get your family and your stuff to wherever you need to take them, weekday or weekend. I am a single adult but needed a crossover to carry friends and gear on weekend trips, which this car is perfect for. Get an EX or EX-L if you want the best value.

Most quiet engine I have ever seen.

It was perfect size for my personal daily commute and at the same time a perfect size for family trips. Very comfortable drive with lot of features especially safety features. Also remember your pocket for gas. Can't beat this vehicle on all those grounds.

Surprisingly peppy for a hybrid

The ideal transport for two seniors and their pet; too early for a reliability rating, but a quiet ride with minimum fuel consumption and emissions
