Awesome review. Just bought a CRV and everything you've said is dead on the money. Speaking of money, I actually prefer the manual hatchback and front seat adjustments. The CRV comes with so many electronic bells and whistles, I get nervous about the consequences of an electrical system snafu. Personally, I like my vehicles to have as few unnecessary built-in electronic devices as possible just from a long-term maintenance cost point of view. That way, I have a chance to do any repairs myself; that's not an option for me with electronics (yet). But then I'm 64 and my CRV replaced the 2000 Toyota Camry Solara I'd been driving since I bought it brand new with 8 miles on the odometer (man, that was a good car!) so having a car with additional safety features just makes sense for me. I bought the CRV LX because it's likely to be the last car I'll ever own and has the right mix of mechanical solidness and electronic safety tech I was looking for. Driving the CRV LS is going to be fun!
I'm pissed I wasn't told the rear lights are nonfunctional. I would have gone for the 2024 used ex model. I feel like my options were taken away from me
Bought CRV Lx last week after driving a "fully loaded," leather, movie watching in back seat (fancy at time) Honda Pilot for 21 years lol. So Im pleased with some of the new technology for sure. But much of it, part of any new car now, the apps that are present or not dont matter to me personally. Or the importance of no USB port in back seat. Dont like that the electronic parking brake might freeze in cold climates if applied. But that's a modern technology thing and not a Honda thing. I love my base car but would have paid a couple of grand more for leather and a CD player lol but that not a sustainable option lol. Great video. Love Honda based on experience.
@@chariecealloyd996 Actually couldn't tell you 100% but think so lol. Going to check though. I know I had seen some people complain about the headlights on some CRV's made a few years ago. One of first things I thought was that how incredibly good they were on mine anyway. Only 1600 miles on it now and never seen it from back at night.
I was going to get this crv but I cant live wiith the oil consumption problem. The turbo's can't stand them. So rather than spending the extra 4k for the hybrid, I will just do the civic with the 2.0. going to test drive one this week after xmas.
I wish honda would a 6 cylinder in these cars i love the new look but not the turbo engines some people with the 1.5 L turbo,s have alot of problems from what they say😮
Yes, you can. It works with pretty much any vehicle that has Apple carplay / Android auto built in. You can always check their website for compatibility.
My 2016 civic touring has no isses at 130,000km ( Canada ) I am about to trade in my 24 HRV Sport for a 25 LX CRV. I just cant stand the low HP of the HRV ( like it otherwise ). i use premium gas for the 1.5l turbo. Maintenance on point as well.

Do your horizontal rear lights work at night?

Is the crv lx better then the hrv exl
I wish honda would a 6 cylinder in these cars i love the new look but not the turbo engines some people with the 1.5 L turbo,s have alot of problems from what they say😮
Can we do that thing for usb in HRV?
Yes, you can. It works with pretty much any vehicle that has Apple carplay / Android auto built in. You can always check their website for compatibility.
Does anyone that bought the 1.5L turbo have any problems in the crv 😢

I'd rather have steel rims without the covers.
Talks too darn fast.
Just play it at .5 speed dude…

@@LeonEaves-qr5hz I’m kidding clearly I actually appreciate the speed he speaks. It’s not a monotonous, droning, blah blah blah blah blah.
