  • Wear headphones! This video is recorded using binaural microphones to give you the most realistic “test drive” experience! In this video, I discuss my impressions of our new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport-L Hybrid after two weeks of ownership racking up 750 miles. You'll hear about fuel economy, all the features, and some things I like and don't like about the CR-V. Stay tuned, a longer full POV review is coming, along with anything that happens along the way.

    Hey Paul....1st off...thanks for the prompt to use headphones....I have never done that with a TH-cam video and yes, it sounds amazing and so realistic. I have pretty much been a hard core Volvo wagon owner and currently drive a V90 T6 which is great but their screen dash layout has never warmed me over...their 2025+ cars are pushing everything to an oversized IPAD in the middle with ZERO driver console...😲 The other thing that Volvo owners have FOREVER lamented about is no glasses compartment like my previous Subaru Outbacks and your CRV. You wouldn't think that is a big issue (OEM's thought process probably) but it IS for owners. I also appreciated in your review without over-hyped puffery.....just the real deal but your words are very car-centric for car people like me. I think this will my next car next year.

I did not intend to buy another Honda but after test driving the 2023 touring hybrid, I fell in love with this car and I am not sorry for my purchase. i like the instrumentation much more than my 2015 model and it drives well and is super quiet which I appreciate. I have pretty much the same opinion on the vehicle. It's my first Hybrid vehicle and like the way that it drives.

      2015 Cr-V Ex AWD owner here. Really like these new models, but I paid $13k for mine used with 65K miles pre pandemic and am SO HAPPY that I don't need to buy a car now. I can sell my Cr-v with 109K for more than I paid for it in this crazy market. Just put new Goodyear Weatherready tires and replaced rear struts. Basic maintenance and replacing wearable parts. Runs and looks new and I hope to not need to replace for a long time but if I had to, I would get this new Hybrid as well. Hope they are as reliable as mine over the long haul.

I did debate on whether to buy another used one, I do not drive a lot but I kind of wanted a new car and could afford it without taking a loan, so I splurged. So far I am happy with the purchase.

I currently have a 2022 CRV with a rate of 3.5%. So I decided not to buy a new CRV for right now. But these CRV’s drive better than all the other brands. I recommend them.

    Nice video Paul, I just bought the same vehicle, 2024 CR-V Sport L Hybrid and there is a constant rattle inside it. Are you having this problem too? It sounds like it's coming from the passenger's windshield top right or perhaps the passenger side vent area. Also when braking I have found that I need to keep my distance from other vehicles more than with other vehicles, because it's very difficult to brake. Also you mentioned you like to drive on B instead of D, is that what you do all the time?

    • @PaulsPlace

      That doesn’t sound right at all, you should probably get that checked out. Do you live in a cold climate? Sometimes rattles happen when it’s cold out.
      That’s interesting, I don’t feel it difficult to brake. The pedal feels natural and progressive, like a normal car.

      Thanks for responding, apparently the visors in the 2023 and 2024 Honda CR-V are a bit different than the 2008 CR-V and 2020 CR-V's which I also owned in the past. I placed the garage door opener on the visors of all these vehicles, and the rattle I was hearing came from the same exact garage door opener placed at the same area of the visor. The rattling sound I was hearing on the passenger side apparently was the movement of the garage door opener from the vibrations while driving. As far as the brakes go, I figured out the proper using of the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The vehicle can be slowed down quite a bit even without applying the brakes. @@PaulsPlace

      From my understanding, the B mode works completely different on the CRV hybrid compared to others. It just basically turns it into a “one pedal driving” mode. I don’t feel any transmission difference (like low range) when in this mode. I got this from the owners manual.

    The "B" mode will not save on brake pads and rotors. The brakes on this hybrid CR-V are drive-by wire, so the braking is controlled by the computer and it will use all regenerative braking if it can.
    I'm not sure how the "B" mode works on the CR-V hybrid, but my 2002 Prius throws energy away by spinning the engine in "B" mode. It somewhat reduces battery charging (because it is throwing some of the energy it could put into the battery as heat and noise) and will destroy MPG.

We have a wonderful rails to trail system paid for by our tax dollars that is just beautiful to ride on, I’d rather see people riding that then see another person die on a bicycle because they didn’t follow simple cycling laws. The roads are just too dangerous now, too many distracted drivers.
      As cyclists, we need to be smart about sharing the road. We can’t automatically assume we will be seen, no matter how much safety gear we have on. Cars will always win the battle. We need to be conscious of proper road safety.
