😅I have had my 2024 Sport L right at a year. Great vehicle. Only disappointment, no spare tire and really has to work when going on steep mountains such as WV turnpike. Quality is excellent . CX5 Is about 8-10 miles less per gallon. My older brother has the touring edition Honda CRV and he loves his as well. This is a GREAT CAR. I honestly feel u will not be disappointed.

2024 Sport Hybrid owner here. I couldn't care less about the extra interior tech "features" that other competition might have, but which just serve to distract from the drive. Honda, keep investing in the superior fundamentals of the vehicles, and you'll continue to keep plenty of satisfied customers like me!

Hmmm, we have a 2025 CRV Hybrid Sport Touring. We absolutely love it. We drove it and the Pilot and the ride and handling were much better in the CRV. Just tonight I drove about 12 miles (round trip) to pick up dinner for the family..and while I WAS driving rather gingerly I got 56 MPG!

For people who like to complain, Honda car is not for you if you want ultra luxury or super sporty. Honda is like jack of all trades master to none. It's giving you a good balance of everything, no gimmicky. If you like luxury and comfort, go with Hyundai/Kia, where most of the budget goes to that area. If you don't care much about driving dynamics and just want a little bit more comfortable, go with Toyota. Also, by design, the Honda's hybrid system is better than Toyota's because the engine mostly acts as a range extender for the big motor that drives the wheels. It's the closest to driving an EV you can get with no CVT whining, no engine stress. Toyota and Mazda are going to follow the same idea with their new engine, this proves how profound this hybrid system is to the industry

Two weeks ago we traded our 2022 Subaru Outback Limited for a 2025 Honda CRV EX-L. We didn't like the ridiculously huge infotainment screen in the Subaru. The sedan-like seats in the Subaru made it challenging to get our grandchildren's carseats strapped in snugly. At 5'1", I prefer the seats in the CRV; I feel that I am sitting up higher and have better visibility. The CRV has larger windows, so that makes a difference, as well. The Subaru seemed to be well-built and we had no problems with it mechanically. When we bought the Subaru in late spring 2022, we had considered Honda and Toyota. As long-time Toyota fans, we felt that they have dropped the ball in the past few years, so Toyotas were out. We'd read about oil dilution issues with Hondas, so we shied away from them, too. Now that several years have passed and we have read more encouraging news regarding Honda's 1.5 turbo, we felt comfortable purchasing one. We likely will trade it in 4-5 years, close to my retirement from teaching. So we will see. Our CRV will get regular oil changes with synthetic oil, Lucas, warm-up and and cool-down time, premium gas, and no street racing in order to take care of the engine. In my opinion, the interior is beautiful. I love the honeycomb features on the dash and the knobs. It's old school enough for us and is a nice change from the tablet-size infotainment screen in the Subaru. The CRV has more space for storing items, a deep console, and a more simple design. We added Honda roof rails, cross bars, window vent shades, and a bug shield on the front. She looks AMAZING!

I have watched many of your reviews. Have to say you guys are head and shoulders above the other car review channels. You provide a tremendous amount of information with a very clear presentation, Thanks!

CR-V is on track of selling 400k units this year and sales have been up drastically every month this year, so these comments complaining mean nothing. Yes, it’s missing features but it’s still a great overall product.

[stuartstuart]

We test drove the Sport L today. My wife and really liked how it drove and looked, except maybe the tail lights. Thanks guys for doing interior measurements, you guys really have your review process down pat.

[paulhenry]

Perhaps a 360 camera is missed but all the other things you mentioned are non issues for me. It's just items that break in long term ownership

[JSandage]

I have a 2019 CR-V which just suffered severe hail damage and my insurance is going to total it. I love my CR-V!! I think I love the new CR-V but why did they take away the remote garage door opener??? That's an important feature to me. Not a deal breaker but why would they take it away? We will start car shopping this week, thanks for the great review

[bluesdemitra]

I’ve had the 2023 hybrid version for over a year. It’s very reliable but man does it leave a lot to be desired with tech and features. Also, no spare tire—never again.

I love the review, and you've got yourself a new subscriber! I purchased my 2025 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport-L (Radiant Red Metallic) last night! My previous car was a 2017 Honda Civic EX-L, which I also loved! You are spot on about trade-in value! My Civic had over 110, 000 miles but was still in top condition, which the dealer noticed. I got top dollar plus all the incentives for the trade! What a fantastic do-it-all SUV! I love mine and highly recommend anything Honda, especially this new 2025 Honda CRV Sport-L, over all the other brands!

I'll have a place to store all of my donuts soon!

[Kypreparedness]

Looking to purchase a compact or midsize suv next spring and stumbled on your videos. Probably the most thorough car walk throughs I’ve found so far.

Top choices so far are the crv and rav4

[jonszabo]

Favorite part of the video, Mason saying the word “bougie”! 😊👍

[hwyman]

The back doors are nice until a kid swings it 85 degrees into someone’s car or a pole lol

[karasays]

Thank you for mentioning the lack of a spare tire, I did not know this information when I bought my 2023 CRV Sport Touring Hybrid. As a person who travels to areas where there is no cell service, it makes me nervous.

I Berna Honda Lover for some 40 year now and never been disappointed I love my 2022 Black edition CRV

[edwardkelso]

My 2024 Honda CRV hybrid L gets 41 to 42 mpg on the road and in town. Thrilled about that but not thrilled about no spare and loud engine noise going up steep hills.

[kevinomar]

My 2011 Venza has almost all the same features, space, bigger rims stock, panoramic moonroof, and half the price. Pretty sure it was cheaper when new too
