We have never had a problem with this car!

Bought it new. My wife loves the heated seats and all wheel drive in the winter. Will make a great car for someone. Exceeded expectations!

Reliable monster that eats up the road

Wish they would make another model, absolutely the best handle in snow conditions, will go through anything, solid in snowstorms, rainstorms, ice, deep snow. V6 has fantastic power, solid driving machine. Leather interior very nice, I would only redo the dashboard, I don't need navigation, but it took a while to get used to the setup, but if you just want a reliable, powerful vehicle to drive in Northern Colorado, this is it, still looks great, tried to purchase a suburu and others to trade for new car, they are like turtles, no power. She's my favorite car, still eating up the road at 127K. No problems.

Very reliable car so far

Purchased this vehicle used with 87k miles and have driven it so far for 5k miles. Car drives smoothly and has alot of nice features. I purchased the 2.4 liter model EXL. The only issue or concern so on far is the noise that is made during cold starts. For the first 2 seconds of start up it makes a grinding type noise. I have researched the noise and have found out it is a defective VTC ACTUATOR. Not sure if this is a recall issue as of yet, but there are bullentins out about this problem and issue. This noise only occura during cold startups. Plenty of room and comfortable riding. I already own a 2012 Honda Accord that I have been driving for the past two years. I have been impressed with this Crosstour so far

Usual Honda quality and value

This car was a step out from my usual Tutonic loyalty. Own a ‘98 Civic for commuting but always have German luxury/performance car(s) in the garage. Deciding to get away from the occasional expensive repairs and go with the top of the line Accord Crosstour with AWD to meet luxury/utility/reliability/price point. With children in college, funds are diverted and the German car companies don’t need my money anymore and I don’t need to fund those expenses and my Accord Crosstour will keep that straight. What a crossover! I recommend.

AWD comfort and lots of room for the clubs

New cross drilled rotors front/rear with ceramic pads, LED lights up front, LED's replaced the fog lights, adjustable upper ball joints to set fronts to -1 camber and 235/55/18 Nitto tires - now it drives like it should. Corners great and stops on a dime. Lots of room for our golf clubs with back seat still up.

A Pleasant Surprise

The Crosstour didn?t get a lot of favorable press coverage, mostly critical of it?s styling and cargo space despite being more of a sleek car than a boxy crossover SUV. That being said, the EXL with 3.5 liter engine and all wheel drive is a bigger, better step up from the ubiquitous Accord. Plenty of power, roomy and relaible.

Amazing Crossover

Lots of room. 3.5L V6 very strong. Leather is great and trunk space is truly amazing. At first I wasn't into the look, but it grew on me. Now the 2012 model is my favorite. MPG is great 20 city and 27 HWY.

still ticking like a timex

I currently own and drive this car. Its been coast to coast and Florida to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I change oil each year(Mobil1) 74000 miles. One set of tires. no problems so far. I would jump in and drive to California on a moments notice. I would like the headlights to come on with the wipers, but that's the only thing missing
