  • The 2019 CR-V doesn't receive any changes but maybe that means it does not have to? Under the hood is Honda's turbocharged inline-4 engine which is mated to a CVT transmission. Inside you will find great versatility for no mater what you are transporting. Find out all the details on this 2019 Honda CR-V and you can decide how good it is.

    The 5th gen Cr-v has only recently come out in the UK, Sept 18, and only available with the 15t engine, no diesel option, but in March 19, we had the hybrid come out. I went out an purchased one. What a fabulous car it is.

    We own a 2006 Honda CR-V AWD, our family are extremely satisfied with it in fact we love it, especially my father.
    It's babied, cleaned with a 6 month/6000 mile oil change kept everything up to date and made sure it stays that way, forever!
    I use two shops for repairs our authorized dealer and a shop that I use to work for, the reason for the dealer visits is frankly for recalls/bulletins, error and faulty codes that cannot be read by the other shop.
    We are the second owners of this vehicle with 128763 miles on it and still spinning like a cat.

    My car was totaled a few days ago. So I was in the market for another vehicle. Of course safety ratings were a priority. But I didn't even know what I wanted. I wanted to research and test drive everything. I used to be a truck guy but I had gotten to the point for something to get me to work and back, to be more practical. I loved my Ford Taurus, which held up like a boss in my head on collision, but found myself wanting more cargo room and versatility. I work on locomotives. I'm also a proud Dad and family man, so I wanted something not too big, good gas mileage, good acceleration and power if needed and quality/reliability. I also wanted a good looking vehicle and at a good price. And this CR V was everything I wanted and was asking for and then some! It is absolutely the most practical and versatile vehicle you can find on the market. I bought it and I know it will be my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. It is perfect for the everyday family driver, and I'm a NASCAR fan to boot so I was surprised with the ride quality and power. Absolutely perfect vehicle for me.

    I'm a subscriber and your video reviews are pretty good and I always enjoy them. I mostly like you're laid back attitude. It's a refreshing change amongst other journalists. But now I have to give the channel a zonk. Whoever shoots your video, is constantly going out of focus when filming. That dummies down the quality quite a bit and it's somewhat distracting. He should lock his focus or work it manually. Keep up the great work!

My Dad got the new Forester, which is great too and even better outward visibility, but yeah, a bit pokey.

    The Honda CRV is a nice car with a quiet and smooth ride with three limitations.
    CVT TRANS - Yes the CVTs have improved and Honda and Toyota are the best but a chain/steel belt can't compete against a gear that won't break or slip under most conditions. Yes they can last 200k but only if you change the fluid every 30k, don't tow, don't drive up mountains, don' t offroad, don't floor it , just baby it from day one. No fun..
    TURBO - Turbos give quick fun acceleration (VARROOM) and increased mpg at a cost. Anytime you force more fuel/air into cylinder you increase pressure and heat with reduced engine life and possible fuel oil dilution. Not to mention turbos run hot and need more frequent oil changes to prevent costly repairs.
    DIRECT INJECTION - Better combustion equals increased mpg but the intake valves without port detergent gas cleaning in time will get carbon deposits which can affect performance. Only dual injection (Toyota & Ford) can prevent it.
    So with all this new technology how will one be able to buy a good used reliable CRV without knowing how the previous owner drove it and maintained it. Do your homework and good luck!!

    Just bought a 2019 CR-V base LX with (no money down) the 2.4L. Might as well have been brand new because it only had 8 miles on it. Overall, I really like it. Of course my biggest concern is the CVT. But as long as you maintain it properly and don't floor it off the line and don't drive it like a maniac, you got a chance. So YES, this car will definitely need some TLC to have a chance to last a long time. That being said, it does respond fairly well accelerating off the line, but don't expect to win any races with it.

    Not sure what people are talking about the Oil dilution issue, in Australia we do not have this issue. Got my CRV in 2017 ( All Wheel drive 1.5 litre turbo 240 NM torque, 140KW), done 26,500 KM, no issues. Hondas have very high resale value in OZ compared to Kia, Hundai, Subaru. Honda's are well built vehicles from back in the days and are very reliable. My only gripe is the Garmain map which is not as good as google maps.

    We downsized one of our vehicles (a 2016 Honda Pilot) for a 2018 Honda CR-V. Just coming up to 28,000 miles after the first 12 months, no problems whatsoever so far (no idea what the oil dilution problem is which some people are commenting about below). We put 2500 miles on it during the first week on a road trip to Canada (and only had to fill up about 6 or 7 times on the whole trip). CVT noise is slightly annoying under hard acceleration, but that's my only gripe.

It's displayed on the map and would have been very easy for them to add to the main display so you don't have to have the map open. 3)Your right leg will rest on a very hard plastic that is right there on the main console. It can start to hurt on long drives. I think those are my only complaints. I don't regret my purchase though.

    Joe. I see that you reviewed the new Subaru Forester about 6 months ago and now the latest Honda CR-V in this video. Which would you take and why? Do you think the AWD is helpful for people living in warm states like Florida? There is some debate on this. Some say the AWD is still valuable for safety and driving dynamics in heavy rain and slippery roads after rainfall. Others cite the AWD adds additional cost, extra maintenance down the road and slightly lower gas mileage and it's not worth it unless absolutely needed. Obviously the Subaru has AWD standard and it's an option on the CR-V.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think you are getting more features with the CR-V. Having the option for a turbocharged engine is always nice. I do still think that the Forester is one of the best SUVs on the market and I am a firm believer that even though I live in Florida it is very nice to have AWD especially when it is pouring.
