As an engineer, I LOVE this reviewers’ car reviews. He tells me so much more than most reviewers do re: car specs.

[swampgfox]

This guy is my current favorite reviewer, does a deep mechanical dive but makes it understandable for normies

[djkenk]

Anyone can rattle off numbers and count cup holders. But you get to the stuff that matters and what viewers would not otherwise know. Well done!

Been following you for over a year. Factory Honda Tech from 1976 till 1985 when I opened my own Honda repair business until I retired in 2006. You have the best channel I have seen. It helps me keep up on info and informed on car purchases. Thank you sir.

I just found this site. I own a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid, and can say that this review is extremely good; it is accurate in its descriptions, dives into the technical and mechanical details, other than just the operational ones, better than any other car review site I've read, in an easy to understand way. And, he revealed a few things about the vehicle that even I, as an owner for 11 months, didn't know. Furthermore, this "mechanic" has a very sophisticated understanding of car styling that is rare among those who are experts on what is inside and under a vehicle, rather than its outer shell. In my job as an automotive photographer, I have worked with dozens of OEM car designers and collaborated with them to showcase their designs for many internal corporate and external marketing purposes, so I appreciate that he seems to truly notice design. Bravo for that.

I've now had my 2023 Sport Touring CRV since April, and came back to watch your review again. I've watched SO many reviews of this vehicle, and I still enjoy yours the most. Your only error(s): the seats are genuine leather, not leatherette, though they are not as pliable as in my previous leased high end Accords. And the button on the steering wheel is not for the heated seats, it's for the heated wheel (I always thought that was a superfluous add-on, but after handling wet, cold gates at the end of my driveway, it is a fast-warming delight!). Now that we're into cold weather season, my mileage has fallen off, especially on the highway, mostly 26-28 mpg...less than my previous 2 liter/10 speed Accord Touring. But the urban cycle eventually reaches 38-42 if I drive a long enough distance. Pure EV at the start has disappeared in the cold. Overall acceleration remains excellent off the line. The Bose system is the best ever in a Honda, standard only in Touring Accords, Civics, and CRVs. Thankfully, I still have satellite radio, no longer available in the Accord. Miss the HUD. Overall, I still look forward to every drive I take in my CRV. I had 7 high end Accords leased prior to this, and the Sport Touring CRV remains the most refined Honda I've had, with remarkably little body roll for an SUV. I live in Buffalo, but still not chance to try my Snow mode as of December 4th. :) It's slower than my 2020 Touring Accord, but it's not SLOW. Storage capacity has already come in handy twice, taking my bike to a repair shop. Seat height is PERFECT for my aging knees, unlike entrance and egress in the Accord.

May I call this clip Video of the Year? One of the greatest reviews I have seen in 2023. No exaggeration. Keep up the good work. God bless you. 🌹🌹

[leefoster]

We ordered one today. I cannot believe I didn't consult TCCN first. I am glad that it was given a seal of approval!

[CrabgrassFarmer]

Thank you for reviewing this car. You are such a "car guy." And being a top-notch mechanic with many years of experience, you actually know what you are talking about. And the little things you pick up on are just amazing observations. They don't just come from a mechanic's perspective either. They come from someone who truly loves and appreciates cars.

[Bambooshts]

I love these kinds of reviews. Taking a deep dive at the engineering/build of the vehicle and looking at what maintenance will be like, both long term and short, is part of my research when purchasing a new vehicle.

[pdbordelon]

"Perhaps it's not the most exciting car in the world but it's VERY well done..." - This quote defines my new 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport L perfectly. I love it!

[madcow]

OMG, there are many, many empty reviews but this one, it's so good, thank you!

[ztekz]

Bought this touring hybrid model 3 wks ago and agree with what AMD said about things he didn’t like particularly the hybrid battery placement underneath cargo area thus lack of spare tire and auto parking brake engaging when you shut off vehicle as I wish when you shift into P it engages. Didn’t mind the physical back button on the infotainment screen. So far, very happy with my purchase!

[tigerskone]

I test drove the Rav4 and the CRV hybrid and went with CRV. After busting my head twice trying to get into the Rav4 and zero probels with all the headroom in the CRV.

[MrWade-kfsu]

I just bought the touring trim yesterday, and your video came out today - what a great timing! Your positive feedback of this car is like music to my ears. 😊

[xiangshang]

this is tru review, I love it. Not just those empty review of exterior; interior; space; 0-100in xx sec, etc; that is everyone is the same, just different face of review.

[Yul-Uhlu]

My first new car was the original Honda CRV, it was so basic and bare bones. Ironically, the 2023 model is now a highend looking vehicle with all the technology.
I'm impressed. They've
really come a long way.

[Paulygoku]

Just bought a 2023 crv hybrid because of your review🤙🏽

[joshuaewalker]

The controls for the heated seats is in the center console area next to all the other climate controls. The button on the steering wheel is for the heated steering wheel which makes perfect sense.

[rightlanehog]

AMD, Honda needs to match Toyota's real world Hybrid mpg and Toyota needs to match Honda's spacious interiors.The CR-V's big back seat puts the RAV4 to shame .🤨
