  • Not Again - 2015 Honda CR-V

    Have had my AWD 2015 CRV since October. When buying I had asked the salesman @ Stevens Point, Wi. Honda when the 16s were coming in. He stated in the spring. A month later the 16s were on the lot. So he lied to me to make room for 16s. This vehicle is made for those about 58" or less. Its a little cramped. When the front seat is all the way back you can not fold down the back seat all the way without hitting the back of the front seat. The AWD doesnt tell the driver when its in AWD. Driver has no idea when the vehicle is in AWD. I am sure this is a decent vehicle for the city but if you live out in the country in WI, MN or other snowy states this is not the vehicle for you. My driveway has a small hill. When its slippery out the front wheels spin. The AWD never kicks in. In other words, I dont actually know if I have AWD. The radio system isnt user friendly. The CD system behind the screen is a little weird. Mileage has been good getting between 32-35 on highway. 28.6 overall since owning.

    CVT Transmission takes getting comfortable with. Once you understand what it is doing you will realize it is nicer than a standard shifting automatic transmission. Read things on the internet as to how CVT works so you understand what is going on with your CRV. As for the vibration issues - there are fixes but I have not had any done. Basically you can eliminate the issue by simply turning on the headlights and keeping your oil changed as required. I additionally only use Top-Tier Gas (Regular) and ---- the big thing in addition to the headlights ---- I do not use the Econ Green Button System. I also see comments regarding seat comfort. I am 6 Tall and have no problems. I use a wooden bead vented driving seat and back and it works great. As for the problems reported at higher speeds. I have had no problems going quite fast - on roads with 70 mph speed limits.

    Purchased a new 2015 CRV in January of 2016. Had some issues with the car and the dealership went out of its way to resolve the problems. Couldnt be happier with my dealership and will continue to do business with them.

    The gas mileage is lousy. I bought planning my mpg would be 24 - 25 it is 20 - 21. My 2004 I just sold got 18-19. I feel completely taken by Honda. The only way I can get my mpg up a little is to turn off my car at long red lights; use the highest octane gas, leave windows wound up and very little air conditioning, dont have weight in my car; and dont drive over 60 or 65 . Be very careful if you buy this car, many people are complaining about the mpg

  • Sold the car. - 2015 Honda CR-V

    I bought this vehicle based on having driven my sisters 2013 CRV. This is a very different vehicle. The transmission never engages. When I need to get in an acceleration lane and get up to speed it never takes hold. If you floor it it really confuses it and it starts to fluctuate up and down. I had a 2005 Honda pilot before this and I was ready to take a step down but the storage and fit and finish on this vehicle is not even in the same universe. The console and door storage are poorly thought out and are near useless. My pilot was the exact opposite. I know Honda is chasing good gas milage to compete but in my opinion this was a big miss. I would go so far as to say this vehicle is dangerous if you are going to take it out in traffic.

  • 2015 Honda CRV EX-L - 2015 Honda CR-V

    Our family purchased a 2015 CRV EX-L in October. Since then we have put about 5,000 miles on the vehicle. I think it is a good car; however, we have run into some issues. To me, road noise seems like it is still there. I guess it depends on what you are comparing it to. My second car is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma, so compared to that, the road noise isnt bad. Second, the CVT: It isnt bad; however, after the car has warmed up, the shifter is in drive, engine is idling, and the car is stopped, you can notice a significant (annoying) vibration. Finally, at lower speeds it has the feeling you get when driving a manual and you have accidentally shifted from 1st gear to 3rd.

    We very much like the new design and new features but the new cvt is the problem, hopes that they fill fix it quickly. Also they hiked the price.

  • Vibration - 2015 Honda CR-V
    By -

    This is my third CRV and I have always been pleased. My new 2015 CRV vibrates and Honda knows about the problem, but has no idea what to do about it. Honda will not guarantee it will not have any long term effect. So I have a new $30,000 car with a problem that Honda cannot fix, sadly disappointed with Honda. My local dealer has been excellent despite not knowing what to do.

  • Honda Dropped the Ball - 2015 Honda CR-V

    This vehicle vibrates, shudders, motorboats, however you want to describe it, will shake you thru your bones!! Acceleration is good, fuel economy is good, ride is a bit noisy, storage is adequate. Honda has admitted to the shuddering problem but has not fixed it. Ive had the car for 1 1/2 years and they keep telling me to be patient. I definitely would NOT recommend this vehicle, and because of the way Honda has handled the issue, I would not recommend any Honda product.
