We were a Honda family for life as they had always provided great service and great vehicles - This was my 5th Honda. As we had enjoyed such great service and cars. We bought the CRV VTI-LX for my husband's work vehicle back in November 2018 it was a demo model and seemed like a great deal- And car fit the brief of what we needed. He was in the car every day and up until this point he loved it. However on the 24th December last year after a couple of very very hot days, the car blew up! We were advised that it was due to a lack of servi...Read more

Bought my 2022 CR V in 2022.
I had the central display unit replaced under warranty and still having the same problems or worst than before. Honda service people at Kirrawee said they haven't got any upgrades or recalls from Honda. This is very frustrating and dangerous, as the centre display unit keeps changing the program, brightness, display from radio to GPS and back again, last week after aI finished a phone call, the centre unit went crazy again and then started to call my last phone call by itself!
Lucky it was one of my colleagues, if i...Read more

I have been looking to upgrade from a 2012 Holden Cruze for a while now and after 6 months of research and reading reviews, shortlisted 3 cars- Mitsubishi Outlander 7 seater, Honda CR V 7 seater and nissan Xtrail 7 seater. We were looking for an SUV spacious enough to stretch out a family of 4 rather tall people (myself at 185cm, my oldest son at 180cm, my wife at 170cm and my youngest at 130cm). After test driving both the Mitsubishi and the Nissan, we had tentatively settled on the Xtrail, but then wife suggested we may as well check out the ...Read more

I purchased my 4th Honda car (CR-V - AWD) in June this year. I travel long distances regularly on highways with speeds of 100 - 110kms. About a month after purchase, the safety camera was faulty and was a safety risk and was replaced. Another problem I am still experiencing however is that intermittently the Brightness control on the touchscreen starts to beep and flicker constantly. The touchscreen does not work while this is happening and then can also go totally blank. The only way to stop it is to pull over, turn off the ignition and re...Read more

Brand new car purchased Aug 2018 Honda CRV 2018 AWD
Problem 1, head unit has a mind of its own, when driving on a sunny day if the head unit gets a lot of heat from the front windscreen, the unit will start making adjustments by its self as if someone is touching the touch screen. Honda don’t have a fix for it. Honda have replaced it twice, but they are just replacing it with the same type of unit so essentially replacing the faulty units with other faulty units. It is winter at the moment so all is good, but come summer I will be back again g...Read more

We purchased this SUV to serve as our "family car", and have never regretted it once. Like most Honda vehicles, I think the great functionality is due to how much thought went into the design. It has a multitude of different functions which are very user-friendly, because all the buttons etc are exactly where you would expect to find them. Having never had forward and reverse sensors before, I now can't live without them because they make parking so much easier. The reversing camera has multiple angles which also comes in handy. In terms of cab...Read more

Brand new vehicle, started showing 2 issues within a month.
Issue 1: Brakes squeal, high pitched/irritating noise
Issue 2: Faulty main display - keeps cycling between off/low/high brightness on it's own

Dealer initially tried to brush off both issues. Was told Issue 1 is quite "Normal" and that "all cars brakes squeal"., and demanded proof for issue 2(issue 2 is well known problem with many Honda's-- google it) .

Went back with proof in 1st service, and finally they acknowledged and replaced the main display., thus fixing issue 2.
For issue ...Read more

I picked up my new CRV on 30 June 2018 from Suttons Homebush Honda. On 31 July 2018, I have the 1 month/1000km service done.

At 4200km, “Engine Oil Replacement” warning signal appeared on 10 May, 2022, i have to have my 1st year car service put forward on 10 May 2022. It costs $295.

On 18 May 2022, just 8 days after so called “first year service” done, a “check tyre pressure” warning signal appeared on dashboard while I was driving. I have four tyres pressure checked next morning when the tyres were cold, found tyres pressure were close...Read more

Bought CRV AWD 1.5L.turbo VTSi model in Nov '17, and thus far it's been a little beauty. Only two problems so far, 1) the detent button on the gear shifter broke and fell onto the floor. Common problem, so keep some duct tape in your glove box to hold it in place temporarily so you can use the shifter and drive back to the dealer. 2) Plastic exterior window trim came unstuck, dealer fixed asap.
The issue of petrol leaking into the engine oil is widely discussed in the USA with many complaints about Honda not fixing the problem. I almost sold th...Read more

Decided to buy the Honda VTI-S AWD for a larger second family car. After doing about three months of research and looking at shortlisted contenders such as the Hyundai Tuscan, VW Tiguan and Kia Sportage. The Honda came out on top in regards to Value for money and features. Having driven it for 18 months now and doing about 16000km, I have found the seats to be incredibly comfortable on long trips (no sore bum), practicality is second to none in its class (can even sleep my 198cm self in the back), fuel economy is incredible (Brisbane to Albury...Read more
