Just got one yesterday, the ride is amazingly quiet. I love this vehicle. You feel like you're driving a top of the line expensive luxury vehicle. Honda knocked it out the park with this one!
I just bought a 2019 CRV EXL, black with black leather interior. The black and chrome looks really nice, especially with the dark aftermarket tint on the rear windows.
*Just purchased a 2019 cr-v ex-l and let me tell you. I'm loving my decision, I'm completely, happy amd satisfied with all the updated technology, the ease to navigate and the salesperson told me this new Honda's practically drive themselves(he wasn't lying). Got the same lunar silver metallic color👍*
DANIEL ALEXANDER I got one too. I love it. Believe it or not, the reason I ended up even going to test drive the Honda was because the Audi sales person I was talking to prior, said I needed to try the Honda out before settling on the Audi. He was right. Way more tech that’s STANDARD, in the crv than in the Audi. I love my crv and so does everyone else that comes for a ride.

Lot of people use the S mode for maximum power, typically entering the Los Angeles Raceway aka Freeway, you need to get it in S mode as you merge in at least. The armrest DOES move backwards and forwards. Some details, I like how any door is open the graphic shows which door. Adaptive cruise control will come to a stop without your foot on the pedal, to resume, all you need to do is hit "resume" on the cruise control button and it will start up again, no need to push the gas. If you remote unlock then hold unlock again, you will open all windows including the sunroof, handy when it's hot outside and you don't want to remote start for whatever reason. To close all windows, for example, you get out "oof! I forgot to close the windows." Remove the key from your fob, put the key in drivers side door, twist key towards the engine to close all windows and sunroof. Mountain climbing (for example Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, Big Bear, etc, sometimes the CRV will note lane keep assist failure, and a bunch of others due to weather etc. Solution for that is to turn it off then turn in on again to reset.
your are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT EXCEPT FOR ONE THING, ONCE YOU SET THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO A SET SPEED,(I KNOW WITH MY CRV THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME COMES TO A STOP SO DO I, THEN IT RESUMES SPEED WITHOUT THE PRESS OF A BUTTON. It can be SLOW TO RUSUME SPEED ONE SETS.
The center console armrest slides back and forth and also the center piece can be flipped so that the compartment inside can be segregated not just removed.
I agree on heads-up display. I drove a Camaro recently that had it and I was very impressed. It's dangerous to have to look down at the dash all the time, for any reason. Frankly, I've thought for along time that car companies should put all the gauges and stuff up high, in a narrow band on top of the dash, right below the windshield.
wrong on the seat tethers! the middle rear seats tether is located not behind the seat back but if you look at the rear interior roof line you will see a little latch you remove to uncover the baby-seat tether for the middle rear seat. Its up not down.
The latest problem is the vehicule is doing some evap test while the vehicule is off like during the night. But its off so the vehicule cannot get an answer so he do the test again.. And again and again.. Until the battery is dead.
There is a tether for the middle seat in the rear. I just bought a 2019 CR-V Touring in the incredible Molten Lava Pearl. The salesman just explained that the tether pulls down from the ceiling in upper middle of back seat. It's not noticeable unless it is pointed out.
Very nice and informative review. I appreciated your information about the lack of the EX-L Navi this year. I had read about the 2019 and it WAS listed as a model, but apparently that is not the case. I don't like that and I believe they did the same with the Accord. To me, the EX-L Navi hit all the needs without having to go to the Touring model. It smacks of greed on the part of Honda for doing this. I also appreciated the mention of the lack of "Heads Up" display which I find very surprising for the very top of the line CR-V line. That doesn't make much sense in a luxury model. I have it in my 2018 Toyota Camry, but other than MPH it doesn't give all that much info. I don't have integrated Navigation, only the Navi app, so it doesn't even list things like the speed limit and so forth. Still It seems strange the Touring model doesn't have this. Lastly, I see some people jumped right in about the supposed "oil dilution" problem. I suppose this is legit, but it looks like the typical jokers who go around trying to disparage a particular model for their own purposes. Leave that to the experts !
Amazing podcast just recently my dealer offer me a crv touring 2019 i was looking for a 2020 sport...vers diffrent car you présent so well the touring 2019 im Going to have a test drive this week.
Great video. In my country there is no turbo issue/ oil dilution issue. I’m owned the awd version, but no honda sensing for awd spec. Those honda sensing only available in premium spec which is 1.5tc 2wd. Comfy ride for family ☺️
Great review! One note, the rear seats will recline slightly. Just behind your shoulder you will feel a latch. Just pull it up and lean back for the ride!
I would only consider this or the mazda cx5. Mazda just doesn't have the cargo space which is a deal breaker for me but is a super nice car on long drives. Honda checks all the boxes.
This is so funny how people gonna drag one flaw for 100 years 🤣🤣🤣 Honda has found the fix, it was a factory error. Also remember get your oil changes at your certified Honda dealer, special oil filters are required.
And yet China still bans the sale of Honda vehicle with 1.5T engines. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Honda fan myself with 2 Honda's myself. Just reporting the facts.
Vinnie Bob - I can assure you that the worlds best creator of engines will NOT produce faulty products continuously. Like with anything, introducing something new without flaws is inevitable.
onibara buya - As an OWNER of several Honda vehicles and 2018 CR-V, Honda is not continuously going to sale defective products. No brand will do that 🙄
onibara buya - I agree with an extended warranty, but not a buyback. It’s not like the engines are useless, they just require maintenance more frequently. Take care of them and they will last. I feel Honda should’ve stick with the traditional 2.4 Liter engine for all trims.
Very nice review, but you weren't quite accurate about the differences between the Touring and the EX-L, for example. The leather and interior is exactly the same on EX-L and with Touring. Same amount of "leather" on both.
I don't understand why Honda doesn't offer a bigger engine option for this...why not offer the same engine that is in the Passport? You would think the success of all of the other 5 seater, SUVs with bigger, sportier engines (Audi, Acura, Subaru, Hyundai Kia, Toyota, Mazda etc.) would give them the clue that people want that (and will pay for that) option. I have a CRV and love it. But for my next car, I want something sportier...If this came with the engine that is in the Passport, I would be all over it. Since it doesn't, I have to pass.
King of oil dilution. Honda also does not stand by their cars anymore. I know people that have had problems and they try to ignore them. After 30 years of Honda I went with Toyota this time.
What research did you do other than repeating what someone else said or wrote. Unless you have actual PROOF that it is still present in the 2019 you should not keep repeating this sort of slander. I was assured that this is NOT a problem with current models and only occurred with a very small percentage of earlier models. To read this repeated over and over by TROLLS, you would think it's on every model.
How can you use it when you need it,, It works only when it wants to, it has to see the lanes good luck with Honda service trying to figure out if the camera is working or the lanes are not clear
@@DriversOnly I understand and my complaint is they did not say it would not work 100 percent of the time when they sold it to me they just sais it as lane keep assist that will keep you in your lane when driving
All I can say is check out a Mazda CX-5 before you buy one of these. The Honda's a nice car but the Mazda is a cut above it's competition, in my opinion. Just bought a CX-5 Signature Turbo and I'm loving it. Well presented review by the way.
Actually, with regard to performance, the 1.5T AWD will do 0-60 in 7.5 seconds (quick for an SUV), and the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine did it in 8.3 seconds (average for an SUV). Even though they both have the same transmission and similar peak numbers, the reason for the acceleration difference is due to where the peak hp and peak torque lie. The 1.5 makes its peak horsepower nearly 1000rpm lower in the band -- which means a significantly broader power band. The broader the power band, the higher the acceleration. Peak numbers don't mean as much as the overall power band. While this SUV won't catch the RDX -- or any of the other luxury performance SUVs, it does alright for this particular class.
Unfortunately based on my research that is not what times are for those engines. They are very similar and the 1.5T engine is not quick by any means. That is the only draw back to this CRV.
I got mine the EX a very practical SUV CVT dont mind at all saves me alot of money from gas just for every day used to work and safety features for my family i cant ask for more very happy, RAV4 i try to test it excellent redesign but driving performance i need a little effort for my speed, so I ended up getting the CRV😁
You didn't mention Apple CarPlay.... is that not an option in the US version? I'm in Canada and picking up mine tomorrow. It also has a panoramic sunroof and a heated steering wheel.
Sorry to mention it! But yes the 2019 CRV does support apple car play but only on certain models. Don't know how the Candian versions differ. Thanks for sharing!
@@DriversOnly Lets just see how the 2020 turns out. Especially w/ the new Hybrid system. Well probably not new .. assuming its taken from the Honda Accord or Insight
Engine problem has been solved....Canada only. I have a 2019 Cr V touring no issues.... I am from Canada, been to South Carolina, New York City, US. Still no issues
I AGREE, SUBARU'S ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM is BUTCH COMPARED TO THE CRV'S althoudg the crv's all wheel drive system will get you through. SUBARU has the X-MODE with their NEWER SUBARU's... THAT CHANGES THE ALGORYTHM FOR TUFF MODE.
Not having downhill descent control TAKES AWAY FROM THE SUV SIDE AND MAKES THE CRV JUST A CROSSOVER. ATUNING KNOB FOR THE RADIO WOULD BE NICE AS WOULD HARD BUTTONS (although i USE THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.) I shouls also mention that on MY 2019 HONDA CRV-EX AWD the BODY SIDE CLADDING is LOOSE and HONDA WON'T TOUCH IT(i kind of thought they would.
www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/ according to CR, the problem was only affecting a small number of owners and the fix was already underway. I am not sure if the 2019 model already has the fix in place.
The oil level just keep coming up. First time they did the oil change because too much fuel in the crankcase. Second time they did the software update. Now the oil level is still going up but its getting slower. Honestly oil level doesn't seem it gonna stop going up.
@@truongdo6850 Very odd. I work for a Honda dealership. We service CRVs all the time. No oil dilution issues at all. Even ones with 20-30.000 kms on them. I'm in New Zealand. Seems to be a Northern Hemisphere only issue..
@@MyHairyChin Give details. Don't just make vague claims of personal experience. WE want detials and PROOF ! Oh and you're welcome. I chime in when necessary and it was necessary when seeing trash talk.
I think Honda has a traditional gear shifter only for CVT and 6-Speed Transmissions for Honda and 8-Speed DCT for Acura. 9-Speed and 10 -Speed they have the button one!
@@DriversOnly The only Accords that have it is the 10-Speed not the CVT as far as the Odyssey and Pilot they both have either 9-Speed or 10-Speed that's why!
The Honda has a lot of noise when driving. It’s a bit buzzy at times. I have a RAV4 XSE Hybrid and a RX 350h F Sport. As I can say my Lexus IS quieter than my RAV4. Luxury cars are always quieter. But, my RAV4 is still quiet since it’s a hybrid.
Had it not been for that fuel / oil mixture problem I would’ve had one of these in my driveway along time ago Hopefully when they make an all new model the 1.5 L engine no longer be used from what I’ve learned the 2019’s have the same issues ☹️☹️☹️
www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/ according to CR, the problem was only affecting a small number of owners and the fix was already underway.
Where is your verification of what you said? Unless you provide references and links, it looks like you are going around bashing something for your own reasons !
From my own vehicle you DA (I'm sure you can figure this one out)! I went from 29.8 MPG to 26.6 with no change in driving habits. Data taken over 8 months before and after "Fix." I still have Oil Dilution!@@michaelpoquette3182
Great review....BUT... Failed to mention the stereo sucks, even though its supposed to be an up grade from the EXL. Wifes 2014 Toyota stereo is a lot better.
ostbob I added a belsee android head unit at first (it died so I just returned it, mine may have been an anomaly), but I added a dual car subwoofer (that one you find in Walmart with an amp built it) and I swapped out the stock door speakers with Bose speakers I stripped from an 2000 Acura TL (sounds a lot cleaner and since it’s Acura, it’s plug and play)
The Murano at nearly. The same weighted and length is not considered compact but it is the king of the 5 passenger crossovers the both have a cvt. Both are made by Japanese but Murano has more style,more HP, more acceleration and more distance on a full tank. Sorry Honda tou’ve been dethroned!
Well.. I've been trying to decide between this car or a new 2019 Subaru Forester. The Forester has those features you talked about.. but supposedly there is a CRV with a panoramic roof. Which is also a 2019 touring like in this video. But I can't find it on the Honda site, I'm wondering if it's like a regional thing which is extremely disappointing.. ruclips.net/video/vgYqGIJDrl8/видео.html
Wife and I traded in our new CR-V after 2 weeks. Sorry but the CR-V is extremely slow. We loved everything about the car but driving a car that doesn’t get out of its own way is dangerous. On NJ/NY roads if your vehicle can’t get up to traffic speed fast you will be rear ended. I don’t understand how people are not making light of how under powered this car is. Good luck to all other CR-V owners.
Mike Silva what did you get? I have the RAV4 XSE Hybrid and love it! The Honda CRV has oil dilution problems that I was not trying to deal with. My RAV4 is a hybrid so it’s faster than that’s gas model 219hp. I’m glad I got the RAV4.
@@DriversOnly I was in the Navy (many moons ago) and even though the ship was named after a man, we always lovingly referred to it as a "she". Men have been doing that for centuries (or maybe longer). It's a sign of respect, as you would have for your mother, wife, etc. Thanks for the video.

Any problems with oil dilution?
I have the same question---has the oil/gas dilution issue been fixed?
Thinking about buying one, how is the gas mileage? I have a 2017 Rogue..I get 26-28 city/ 32-38 highway..Can your CRV get that?
Excellent review! I have the 2019 Touring and they fixed all of the issues that I didn’t like with the 2015 Touring. Nice honest review. Thanks!
Thanks!
Did you experience any oil dilution issues? There are lots of complaints from 2017 and 2018 and some 2019 owners living in colder climates.
Just purchased a 2019 Touring, did they fix the oil dilution?
@@John.Paulis Please tell us if YOU are experiencing any "oil dilution" issues: smell gas in the cabin? Is oil dipstick showing above the normal range and smell of gasoline?
Excellent review. One minor correction, Armrest does slide back and forth.
Hum...must have missed the button for that.
@@DriversOnly No button. Just slide
Lot of people use the S mode for maximum power, typically entering the Los Angeles Raceway aka Freeway, you need to get it in S mode as you merge in at least. The armrest DOES move backwards and forwards. Some details, I like how any door is open the graphic shows which door. Adaptive cruise control will come to a stop without your foot on the pedal, to resume, all you need to do is hit "resume" on the cruise control button and it will start up again, no need to push the gas. If you remote unlock then hold unlock again, you will open all windows including the sunroof, handy when it's hot outside and you don't want to remote start for whatever reason.

Remove the key from your fob, put the key in drivers side door, twist key towards the engine to close all windows and sunroof.

Bought my wife a 2019 CR-V
She loves it, so much nicer then her 2008 town and country. Very glad I bought it
Are you experiencing the oil gas dilution problem plagued by these new 1.5 turbos?? Smell your oil and check dipstick level...
The center armrest on my 2019 CRV does move back and forth, and you can store the center console lid in the back of the center console.
I agree on heads-up display. I drove a Camaro recently that had it and I was very impressed. It's dangerous to have to look down at the dash all the time, for any reason. Frankly, I've thought for along time that car companies should put all the gauges and stuff up high, in a narrow band on top of the dash, right below the windshield.
Think all cars will add them in the future. Right now mostly in luxury cars but will trickle down.

It's gotten so bad. Their "fix didn't do anything and they're still selling the 1.5s and there's now a class action lawsuit.

Both are good SUVs but when it comes down to it, CRV does everything well. The CX5 is more fun and faster however.
Bring the 10 speed automatic please!!!
That was awesome! Thank you. I'm trying to compare the CRV and the MDX. i really like the touch screen feature.
Two very different SUVs. MDX compares with the Pilot rather than the CRV.

A question the oil mixture /leak is for both the AWD & FWD in all trims ? Or only for the AWD ??
It is for the 1.5 turbo engine in low temperature short distance driving (under 35 degrees)
Hmm oil dilution GDI causing carbon buildup on valves and week CVT= hope you bought extended warrenty

The best and only best CRV is the 2016, with a 2.4 natural aspirated engine, no turbo no crap, plenty fast and 30- 33 mpg, find a used one and buy it
The CRV also comes with the 2.4 on the lower models.
@@DriversOnly yes I have 2.4 liters 2014 model and enjoy it. No one problem.
Oil dilution issues
Not having downhill descent control TAKES AWAY FROM THE SUV SIDE AND MAKES THE CRV JUST A CROSSOVER. ATUNING KNOB FOR THE RADIO WOULD BE NICE AS WOULD HARD BUTTONS (although i USE THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.) I shouls also mention that on MY 2019 HONDA CRV-EX AWD the BODY SIDE CLADDING is LOOSE and HONDA WON'T TOUCH IT(i kind of thought they would.
Interesting about the side cladding...not covered under warranty?
great review, one thing tho check your mic it sounds like your far away sometimes
What about the turbo engine issues?
www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/ according to CR, the problem was only affecting a small number of owners and the fix was already underway. I am not sure if the 2019 model already has the fix in place.
I got the 2019 CR V. I did service 2 times about the oil dilution, and the car just got over 1000km. I really disappointed in Honda.
@@truongdo6850 2 services in 1000kms? Why?
The oil level just keep coming up. First time they did the oil change because too much fuel in the crankcase. Second time they did the software update. Now the oil level is still going up but its getting slower. Honestly oil level doesn't seem it gonna stop going up.
@@truongdo6850 Very odd. I work for a Honda dealership. We service CRVs all the time. No oil dilution issues at all. Even ones with 20-30.000 kms on them. I'm in New Zealand. Seems to be a Northern Hemisphere only issue..
Stay away from honda 1.5l turbos, the motor is mixing gas into the crank case oil! Seen 3 of them now with over a liter of gas in the motor oil...
You're repeating something for which you have no personal experience. This is being repeated and exaggerated by TROLLS like yourself.
@@michaelpoquette3182 sorry, i do have hands on personal experience on this, but thanks for chiming in
@@MyHairyChin Give details. Don't just make vague claims of personal experience. WE want detials and PROOF ! Oh and you're welcome. I chime in when necessary and it was necessary when seeing trash talk.
@@michaelpoquette3182 ugh, troll! You have 0 videos ... keep the good fight going troll! Bue-bye
I think Honda has a traditional gear shifter only for CVT and 6-Speed Transmissions for Honda and 8-Speed DCT for Acura. 9-Speed and 10 -Speed they have the button one!
All of the other hondas like Accord, Pilot, Passport, Odyssey all have the buttons too.
@@DriversOnly The only Accords that have it is the 10-Speed not the CVT as far as the Odyssey and Pilot they both have either 9-Speed or 10-Speed that's why!
The car design looks decent but those damn ugly rims/wheels got to go!
Hehe grows on you.
Those rims are tight
Ill buy as a project car, I want to make it an off road vehicle
Haha, a lot more better-suited cars for that purpose.
How quiet is the crv compare to a Lexus RX 350?
Haven't been in a new RX350 yet but I'm willing to bet its similar. It's dead quiet in a CRV with the exception of when you floor it.
Drivers Only thank you for your reply.
The Honda has a lot of noise when driving. It’s a bit buzzy at times. I have a RAV4 XSE Hybrid and a RX 350h F Sport. As I can say my Lexus IS quieter than my RAV4. Luxury cars are always quieter. But, my RAV4 is still quiet since it’s a hybrid.
I just bought this car 2 weeks ago and making a knocking noise.im very disappointed taking to the dealership tomorrow
You lie. Why did you not take it to dealer FIRST and then comment here?
oil dilution
Whats new in 2019 crv? panoramic moonroof/sunroof?
Nope, very little. New body color and navi is removed from EXL.
Not on U.S models, CANADA/EUROPE/ASIA maybe.
THANKS.
Had it not been for that fuel / oil mixture problem I would’ve had one of these in my driveway along time ago
Hopefully when they make an all new model the 1.5 L engine no longer be used from what I’ve learned the 2019’s have the same issues ☹️☹️☹️
www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/ according to CR, the problem was only affecting a small number of owners and the fix was already underway.
I live in nyc my current Nissan Rogue lease is over this October
I’ll wait and see what Honda has done by then
@@DriversOnly Sadly the "fix" didn't do anything.
@@DriversOnly that fix is just a show off to sell 2019 version. Did not do anything to mine.
The fix did not do anything on my 2017 crv, its very disappointing!!
Moon roof not a sun roof. Not the greatest description of the car overall. Lots of things missed.
Stay far away from Honda! No fix for the OIL DILUTION. They only SLOWED it at the expense of 3-4 MPG loss in efficiency. SHAMEFUL!!
Where is your verification of what you said? Unless you provide references and links, it looks like you are going around bashing something for your own reasons !
From my own vehicle you DA (I'm sure you can figure this one out)! I went from 29.8 MPG to 26.6 with no change in driving habits. Data taken over 8 months before and after "Fix." I still have Oil Dilution!@@michaelpoquette3182
@@michaelpoquette3182
The software "fix" for a hardware problem is always suspicious.
Fix doesn't seem to work, lot of people still have the problem. It will substantially reduce its resale value.
Wait 6 months and get your oil tested
Wait until Winter! It happens mostly in cold weather.
Great review....BUT... Failed to mention the stereo sucks, even though its supposed to be an up grade from the EXL. Wifes 2014 Toyota stereo is a lot better.
Yea normally I don't speak to the stereo, thanks for the tip!1
Yeah stereo is super disappointing, had to upgrade that immediately
Ismael Torres so what did you install and what did it cost?
ostbob I added a belsee android head unit at first (it died so I just returned it, mine may have been an anomaly), but I added a dual car subwoofer (that one you find in Walmart with an amp built it) and I swapped out the stock door speakers with Bose speakers I stripped from an 2000 Acura TL (sounds a lot cleaner and since it’s Acura, it’s plug and play)
@@ismaeltorres3219 Thanks for that info I will check it out
It will be a great Upgrade from my Volkswagen Tiguan
Haven't test drove any VWs yet, hopefully soon.
The Murano at nearly. The same weighted and length is not considered compact but it is the king of the 5 passenger crossovers the both have a cvt. Both are made by Japanese but Murano has more style,more HP, more acceleration and more distance on a full tank. Sorry Honda tou’ve been dethroned!
You didnt show the key fob backup camera, that's the main thing.
shame there's no full panoramic roof, no heated rear seats, and no led fog lights in the U.S.
Well.. I've been trying to decide between this car or a new 2019 Subaru Forester. The Forester has those features you talked about.. but supposedly there is a CRV with a panoramic roof. Which is also a 2019 touring like in this video. But I can't find it on the Honda site, I'm wondering if it's like a regional thing which is extremely disappointing.. ruclips.net/video/vgYqGIJDrl8/видео.html
@@omarserpas5323 It's the Canadian CRV that has a full panoramic roof & heated rear seats. It's the CRV from East Asia that has a an led fog lights.

Just subscribed to your channel. I liked your fluid presentation. Do you mind make the videos little bit shorter? Thanks.
Yea I've gotten that feedback before. Kind of hard to balance what people want to see. Maybe the good bad ugly can be shortened?
The length of the video is not a problem for me.
It is beatifull
Crv l of course
Cx 5 turbo baby!
The infotainment system is way too slow. Take it from me I'm driving a 2019 Honda Civic.. also WTF TOURING WITH NO VENTILATION SEAT ( DISSAPPOINTED)
It was that way BEFORE you bought it moron. Anybody with brain would have checked that out before handing over any money. Duh.
This must be a ex-L not the Touring edition,the touring has 19 inch wheels,auto wipers, wireless phone charger and a few other features
Nice car
Wife and I traded in our new CR-V after 2 weeks. Sorry but the CR-V is extremely slow. We loved everything about the car but driving a car that doesn’t get out of its own way is dangerous. On NJ/NY roads if your vehicle can’t get up to traffic speed fast you will be rear ended. I don’t understand how people are not making light of how under powered this car is.
Good luck to all other CR-V owners.
Mike Silva what did you get? I have the RAV4 XSE Hybrid and love it! The Honda CRV has oil dilution problems that I was not trying to deal with. My RAV4 is a hybrid so it’s faster than that’s gas model 219hp. I’m glad I got the RAV4.
Justin Xu we found a 2018 Land Rover Evoque demo for a great price.
Justin Xu I have driven the RAV4 and I agree. I do like the RAV4 much more then the Honda.
seems like this guy has can't see RPM difference between 1.5T and 2.4 engine. He also is senseless to the LOW_END torque.
Sure champ.
Where’s surroundview on the top trim? And pano moonroof? Not luxurious at all.not impressed by the fake wood trim. Give me a Murano instead
Turbo brings on torque at much sooner..this is best reason for T
Yea but unfortunately you can't feel it.
it is also less responsive right off the line, at least in the case of the Honda turbo vs honda n/a
I'll pass this need a panaramic sunroof
Comes with panoramic sunroof in Canada.
The hrv is compact
Crv is mid-size
Pilot is full-size
Just saying
HRV is subcompact, CRV is compact, Passport is Midsize, Pilot is Mid/fullsize.
I know where this dealership is located. I bring my 2009 Honda Civic there every time it needs an oil change.
Hahaha what the heck this guy now does crypto news videos
Nice review... Buy Bitcoin.😀

its a she?
You never heard of people referring to their cars, boats, bikes, any power tool as she?
@@DriversOnly
I was in the Navy (many moons ago) and even though the ship was named after a man, we always lovingly referred to it as a "she". Men have been doing that for centuries (or maybe longer). It's a sign of respect, as you would have for your mother, wife, etc. Thanks for the video.
No its not,Toyota is better.
