The most interesting part is that people often assumed that the more expensive ZDX was based on this platform, however this had more expensive double-wishbone suspension while the Acura had cheaper MacPherson struts upfront.
Yeah the ZDX was based off the MDX. You'd think the new ZDX would also be based off the MDX as well, but it's actually a joint venture car with GM. It's the same platform as the Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer EV and the Honda Prologue.
I think all Hondas look better the older they get. I also like how Honda added the dual screen even tho this was based on the 8th gen accord which didn’t have this or the right camera option.
I love my 2010 Accord Crosstour. Currently at 214k miles and still drives like a dream. I plan on holiding onto it until it can't move under its own power anymore.
@@packerman1203 I have a '10 also with almost 140,000 miles on it too. This is the last car I will ever own, told my husband I want to be buried in it!! (not really!) I love everything about it, especially because it doesn't look like all the other boring cars out there. People either love the Crosstour or hate them. I love being different and mine is blue like this one was originally.
This is one of the few wagon-sedan-SUV-coupe things that actually looks good. It wasn't overly tall and bulked up like the X6. If Honda brought it back with a slight lift it would fit right in.
My GF just got this to pair with our old Toyota Siquoia. We got a top trim with less than 100k on her for 15k. It's power, comfort and quality is wild. Absolutely a gem of a machine with the V6 and AWD.
I always thought back then that the roofline of the Crosstour reminded me of the 970 Porsche Panamera and I still think so to this day. Not a bad Crosstour! Also, congrats for once again passing the BFB test at 5:19, Zack!
My wife and I had a 2012 and then bought a 2013 5 years ago. Love it, still get compliments on the Kona Coffee color and asking us what it is. Still drives great with just 74k, we'll be driving it for a long time.
I have a 2011 Crosstour, which I feature in most of my channel’s videos and I absolutely love driving it. I found this review video to be excellent. Well done 👍
I got my Crosstour with 150k kms (90k miles) for very cheap, because someone has traded it in at a Toyota dealership. I love the car, absolute gem. Some people don't like the back of it, but I actually found it quite nice. With Toyota Crown coming to us, it's nice to see that the crossovers are not done yet.
Awesome video... I just bought my second Crosstour. I had a 2010 and loved it but it was hitting 184000 miles so traded it in on 2014 and got another 90000 miles to catch up to the old one and the updates between 2010-12 to the 2013-15 models are still surprising me.. It is a Love or Hate car... but for me it is a Love
A friend of mine had one of these and threw a bigger set of wheels on it. It looked amazing. My sister has a ZDX and loves it to this day. People are just boring and they'd rather just get the mommy soccer car then get something really cool like this or the Acura ZDX. I own a first generation Honda Fit and that's another car that Honda took away from us because of low sales. Old Hondas are super cool that's for sure
I just picked a black one up 2010 and 140,000 miles for $3500 and needed a lot of love. I’m at the last stage now i replace rear and front bumpers timing belt. plugs two catalytic converter‘s.. 4 sensors You name it I’ve replaced it. Parts and labor $3.900.
I think one reason why these failed was because of an identity crisis,like the Toyota Venza. A lot of people were unsure of what it was. With the Venza, even Toyota said it was neither a crossover nor a wagon. However for some reason BMW still has the X6, and they introduced the X4, Mercedes-Benz has the GLE coupe and GLC coupe.
Just came from the ccf video with you, and came looking for my car, ive got a 4wd 2010 but hey, the j35y1 is similar to the z2 In the trunk, you can flip those 3 little floor panels around for a hard plastic surface instead of carpet. The accord prefix was dropped for 2012, but then it was facelifted in 2013. Crazy how you mentioned the pacifica cause i went from an 07 touring to my current 2010 crosstour. The crosstour was definitely ahead of its time and i sincerely hope they do something similar and outlandish with a good automatic and the j series.
I loved my 2014 Honda Crosstour EX-L, sold it for a Honda Passport. I do miss my Crosstour, but the modern tech and more storage made me get it. I would 100% buy another one now that I have a storage SUV
If they brought this back today both it and the Acura ZDX would sell like crazy. The mainstream offerings are missing out on the Coupe suv era. Like to think that this lives on through the new civic hatch I see the resemblance slightly
I always thought this thing was hideous. Looks like Gonzo from the Muppets. The fewer I see around, the more interesting the design has become. Honda/Acura design during this era was odd. The Beak on the TL was particularly offensive. 🔥
Fun fact. The tan interior is the hardest to find in these. I have the awesome time of having a crosstour that a different friend who owned it before the friend I got it from, gutted the interior trying to make it more “race car” still missing a front passenger side door panel.
@@LamoidZombieDog every single one I’ve found in a scrap yard near me is either grey interior or all black. Haven’t found a single car being wrecked for me to take parts out of.
Wagons aren't popular in the United States which is automakers don't make them for America anymore. The Toyota Camry wagon was discontinued after 1996.
I don't see that many Servpro vehicles or maybe I just don't pay attention to the more mundan vehicles they own. I did a Servpro Honda Element wants and being an owner of an element myself kind of annoyed me that they stuck one of their stickers on the high mount center brake light is the element is behind the glass instead of on the exterior like other SUVs.
That's interesting that their kinda rare except I still see quite a handful of these. I see more of these then I see first gen Mazda 3's or Honda CRZ's.
I actually don't mind these, since they look like the Accord. I just wish Honda gave us an Accord wagon instead of this low-rear-visibility, Panamera wannabe, thing. I guess that's why we have the TSX wagon?
The most interesting part is that people often assumed that the more expensive ZDX was based on this platform, however this had more expensive double-wishbone suspension while the Acura had cheaper MacPherson struts upfront.
I like the styling of the ZDX better but, It also got better tech than the zdx for some reason. Just more practical all around.

These are based on 9th gen Accords. However, the Crosstour earns cool points over a 9th Accord for being Honda's first crossover vehicle.
@@MS-zm1gl They’re actually based on The 08-12 Accord Platform which is the 8th Gen. It just has features from the 9th Gen to keep it modern..
8.5 gen accords can have backup cameras with navigation
@@MS-zm1gl nope, both the pre facelift and facelift are 8th gen accords, just the facelift has the 9th gen accord motor, steering wheel, seats e.t.c
I agree Hondas look cooler older
I love my 2010 Accord Crosstour. Currently at 214k miles and still drives like a dream. I plan on holiding onto it until it can't move under its own power anymore.
Have the exact same amount, 214k on my 2012, love it.
I have the 2014 Crosstour with 160k miles on it. I’m loving this car. I had a 2008 Accord before this and wanted something similar yet different 😊
Thats the way to do it, my 2010 is just over 136k

It would compete very well against the Mazda CX50 or Subaru Forester.

How is it reliability wise. I have researched this vehicle and keep getting hit with the "reliability problems" reviews, lol.

That Blind Spot feature should be part of the safety sense package. Toyota doesn't offer it back then. But now it's an option, not standard

I’ve had my 2010 for six years. Excellent ride, performance and economy. Very easy DYI. So far nothing has failed😅

I do like the Crosstour

Totally
My son has a crosstour and we love it. Now I'm looking to buy a used one.
I’ve always seen these as a revival of the accord wagon
A plus NO CVT OR STOP START ❤️
Always loved these and thought they were ahead of their time! Noice!!!
I always thought this thing was hideous. Looks like Gonzo from the Muppets. The fewer I see around, the more interesting the design has become. Honda/Acura design during this era was odd. The Beak on the TL was particularly offensive. 🔥
ServPro has some of the weirdest vehicles in their fleet. My local ServPro facility has a 2nd gen Astro that sees regular use.

Not true, they are everywhere within the couple for sale

Bought the 2014 brand new. Still own it with only 57K miles. Love my baby.
Wagons aren't popular in the United States which is automakers don't make them for America anymore. The Toyota Camry wagon was discontinued after 1996.
its not a wagon
I remember seeing these on the road, Acura had a variant of this also
I wish Honda did still do the lane-watch.
This is actually a very good car.
The accord Crosstour name was dropped on the 2012 model
I love big bottle fail sound 🙌🏼😪

Honda is the only CVT i would trust. Just because they've been doing them since the 50s
They can't be any worse than their conventional automatic transmissions
@@666cemetaryslut i think they've been making a cvt transmissions on their bikes longer than they made an automatic transmission
The crosstour needed that blindspot camera
i have never heard of the Honda Crosstour before
We are about to buy a crosstour
They gotta bring this car back.
Love this car!!!!
Love my crosstour. Why the heck not use a timing CHAIN!!??
I didn't see the spare tire anywhere, odd a late '90s "not a cigarette lighter" socket.
it has one, it lowers from under the trunk and it does it very easly unlike some cars
That's interesting that their kinda rare except I still see quite a handful of these. I see more of these then I see first gen Mazda 3's or Honda CRZ's.
The streets in my town are absolutely littered with clapped out Mazda 3s. I haven't seen a nice first gen 3 in years in fact.
I actually don't mind these, since they look like the Accord. I just wish Honda gave us an Accord wagon instead of this low-rear-visibility, Panamera wannabe, thing. I guess that's why we have the TSX wagon?
Excellent review thanks
Found a 2013 in NC with 133k miles, 1-owner, but with minimal maintenance records on the CarFax. Any thoughts?
Just got my 2013 last Saturday. 163K miles. Runs like a _machine._ If it’s been taken care of, I would DEFINITELY buy!
The Toyota Crown is banking on this Very similar concept
It's just that the Crown doesn't have the practicality of a hatch, which makes it much much worse 😂
Would anyone recommend getting a 2010 Honda Crosstour for 4500 with 200,000 miles
As long as fluids are changed, suspension is good, and timing belt was serviced (twice)
It's interesting that a car of this style would have paddle shifters, I mean my car does, but it's a Sport, so it's to be expected, but this...
Honda used this same color on the 2016-18 Civic Coupe
In Nigeria it’s common to call the 8th gen accord the “evil spirit”
Why?
Dude giving Honda credit for the cameras that they stopped putting on their cars since like 2019
These cars are not rare at all in Baltimore, Maryland. Every other family has one or any variant of a Honda Accord.
2015 was the last year for the Crosstour. I have a 2012 model
Scotty, said to stay away from that engine!
I just saw a Scotty video that said it was a great car lol. Only to change the timing belt every 100k I believe haha
End of the season EVERYTIME we find the car that actually passes the big frogging bottle test?
Thanks for showing a car I have never seen before it looks great,shame it bombed.
This car basically looks like an oversized Accord
My neighbors worked at Servepro , they mostly cleaned up suicides 😂😂😂
So it's a 4 door hatchback.
Nice
Just a lifted hatchback
Kool
Meanwhile the new toyota century
TikTok User: that car from Ohio
Tbh it looks like an accord that are to much McDonald’s
It’s basically an Accord with a hatchback. Perfect size for me and great practicality with the hatchback and folding seats.
no one bought it because its too small for families too big for singles and not fast or cool looking enough for everyone else.
Disappointed no test drive at all wasted my time
Uhh its so ugly
