I got mine last year Honda CR-V 2013 so far so good no any issues as a family we are enjoying it's performance

[@papiopapa356]

Your CR-V is a 2016, not a 2015: 2016 has the LED Daytime Running Lights in the front; 2015 had the single headlamp on each side. Also 2015 has a black "yoke" below the back window; 2016s upgraded to the silver yoke. Our 2016 CR-V Touring was my in-town driver, but it has been on one 4,000 mile trip. Ride is not as smooth as you'd hope (typical Honda), but reliability is great...keep up the routine maintenance.

Look at that fool neighbor of yours driving a Jeep. They should have checked with you before making that poor decision.

[@ModernGreaser]

Hahaha omg I just laughed so hard!! My old co-worker had a Jeep Compass and it cost her $700 to fix the “shifter” and it only had 40k on it 😂. I do love a good chuckle at the expense of an economy street Jeep.

Great review, fabulous cars.

I just purchased a 2015 CRV, so far I love it. But I was driving a Chevy Sonic?

[@Brian-rs4ug]

I have this SUV AWD (2014) I bought it three years ago with 17,000 miles. I thought the mileage was a misprint, but was not. As a whole it’s has been a great car. Biggest complaints, no acceleration, needs to come in a V-6 version, heater problem on driver side (will cost $1000 to repair) and computer tracking gas mileage is not accurate and kind of a rough ride. With that being said it’s a great car.

[@18_rabbit]

284 feet to slow to stop from 70mph? Usually cars do that in about 184, so did u get the first digit wrong?

[@Vivianauxito]

Good video sir. Do you have any plan to upgrade your lights of car to LED. We would love to collaborate with you on a product review

[@channelite]

This gen has a tail gate handle issue. when it’s cold, tail gate is a pain to open.

[@fatboy5926]

Just got a 2013 - overall - extremely happy. Runs amazing everything is working perfect great condition. Roomy. It’s excellent…. But 1 complaint…. The drivers seat. I took it for a test drive - no issue. I have arthritis. Picked it up today - took it for a longer drive - uncomfortable. Like really & my main issue is I have pretty rough arthritis - and right now I’m stiff as a board. Pain everywhere. It’s uncomfortable. I’m in a bit of trouble unfortunately because everything else is excellent

[@philw6069]

Funny, I just bought and brought my 2014 home and after 2.5hrs my back hurts. Lady says I need to adjust to it….
Ps look underneath and if it’s in good condition the wax oil it asap if you more keeping it

That crv in the video for sure needs a paint correction now, paint is fading very visibly, and the headlights need to get polished up then ceramic coated/new clear coat

[@18_rabbit]

in that gen , the honda beats the rav4, which did have AT/trans failures, the Honda didn't even w/ the CVT from '15 on

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

Maybe oil coolant dilution, bad cvt transmission

[@cjsteele9594]

Going with Toyota, less issues.

[@MrNathan791]

I have a 2016 crv ex L the same color. I'm having vibrating issues with the front brake; I so that the front rotors on the 2014-16 have been a problem. And going down hill the transmission performs like a manual shift. It shifts down as if it's skipped a gear. I'm going have my mechanic check this out because it seems to rough shifting down. I am enjoying the power with this suv, but this issue is very annoying.

[@carlosmelendez7247]

That’s the CVT downshifting it does it to help you on not to use yours brake if you want to get out from the downshifting just tap the gas a little bit and is going to get out from downshifting.

[@toddwerther188]

Still driving my 2015 which I bought new. Plan on keeping at least another 6 years, if not longer. Subjectively, Honda interiors don't look as cheap as Toyota's and that 2.4L gas engine shouild last a long time, just do regular oil changes and a bottle of injection cleaner every 15K miles simply because the engine is direct injection only.
Edit: I had the battery issue, caused the dash to flicker... 2nd time replacing the battery I forgot to put the cage back on... must have been touching somewhere, as no more issues!

[@kingplatano1592]

How many miles on yours?

[@JayaLove]

I’m looking at a 2013!

[@MartiniHi]

FYI, there's updated interior and exterior design, 15 and 16 is a better choice!

[@dieseldan98]

May be careful with the 2013. That was the first year they switched to the CVT Transmission. They did have a lot of issues with that year of CRV mainly regarding transmission failure. I would recommend the 2012 (which is what I bought) because it was the last year with the 5-speed automatic transmission or the 2016-2019 because this is when Honda’s CVT transmissions started getting a lot more reliable

[@k.skyl1n3zz]

@@dieseldan98 2013 is not CVT lol, the 2015 and up have CVT.

SIR, Their interior material is so so so cheaply made. They are NOT leather. Absolutely not. They're made of some sort of Vinyl that is made to feel and look like leather. Toyotas fare better than the CRVs.
