Excellent car, almost perfect.
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
cost me $110), easy to maneuver around the city with the family and a great crusier on the open road, Ive been loving the configurable storage console which is large enough to hold our thai and indian takeaways without the risk of them falling over. As with all cars I had some minor issues, at 5000km the change oil light came on, one dealer wanted to do the annual/10000km service (checked the oil myself it was clean and plentiful) and the other said it was a initial quirk with new cars, and had the system reset for me free of charge, (helps to shop around). Have had the infotainment system play up on the rare occasion, screen would flicker and become unresponsive ( turning it off and on fixed it, annoying if it happens while driving though). Electronic brake can be slow to engage, have to pull the button fairly firmly for it to work sometimes. 18" tires are costly to replace when you manage to get a screw stuck in your tire wall, on the plus side having a full size spare it a life saver. Overall a great car, wouldn't have expected anything less from Honda.Purchased in December 2021 at Madill Honda for $35,425.00.

Fabulous Car
This is the best car we've ever purchased. Drives beautifully, has all the 'bells and whistles' and is just great. Couldn't recommend Shannon from Berwick Honda enough. Her product knowledge and professionalism were superb.
Purchased in February 2021 at Berwick honda.

Great Family Car
We have now done 2000km in a Honda CR-V VTi-S (2WD). This is just a great family car and ticks all of the boxes. It is practical and drives great. I was a bit worried going from a BMW X3 to this car on the way it handles and power. The CVT transmission seems well paired to the 1.5 turbo engine and when you need power it is very surprising as to how much this little engine can deliver. We did road test the AWD and the 2WD and opted for the cheaper 2WD option as we only do road driving anyway and could feel no difference between the vehicles.

We haven't encountered any problems and the service at the dealership has been excellent so far. I would recommend test driving one of these if you a looking for a mid sized SUV. You will be surprised how big this new CR-V is!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

October 2018 VTIS AWD
I love driving this car. My last car was a corolla wagon bought new in 2003, loving my upgrade. Incredibly spacious and comfortable. Has plenty of zip when overtaking and its fuel economy has surpassed all expectations, 6.2l/100km freeway driving, I am averaging 7.4l/100km extra urban. The reports of noise are unfounded, touchscreen is easy to use and the whole interior feels luxurious. Unleaded 91 plus fuel economy sees me saving on my fuel bill!

I must have bought the lemon
I bought the CRV VTi LX in September 2017. Within 6 months the display screen started playing up and as automatically resetting itself continually while I was driving. After a number of visits to the dealer to have it reset, they had to replace the entire unit. Then there's the driver's seat warmer playing up - often switches itself off within a couple of minutes of being on and then I sometimes can't turn it on again. Then today, I put the shift lever into reverse, then into drive ... and the shift lever button on the side fell off! Yep, sna...Read more
pped off and landed on the floor. Cheap plastic completely broken and the spring fell out. Luckily I was able to drive straight home and didn't need to change into reverse at any time. I could put it in park when I got home, so put the brake on and my husband had to disconnect the battery as it wouldn't allow me to completely turn off the car electrics because it wasn't in park! All this on a Saturday afternoon and the dealer doesn't open till Monday. So I'm now waiting to see if I will receive a follow up phone call in response to my phone call and email. I will never, ever buy another Honda. The drive is luxurious and it has terrific safety features but it is a cheap build and I'm extremely disappointed that I bought it. This is only within the first year. I wonder what else is going to go wrong?!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love the Luxury
I purchased the good looking CRV vti-lx AWD after checking out both the HRV and CRV. Once inside the CRV I knew this was for me. Its very easy to drive. The cabin has a lovely look and feel with soft touch surfaces, leather seats and large sunroof. The large screen is super bright and easy to use. The automatic tailgate works great. Can't do without the left camera now I'm used to it. Lots of space and economical to drive too. It did take me a couple of days to get my head around setting the safety features in the car.

Great SUV
What a neat little vehicle to drive. Downsized from a Ford Ranger PX as our needs have changed. Much more comfortable, lots more room and very frugal on fuel. Great 1.5 litre motor which is very quite. Test drove several brands including Mazda, Kia, Hyundai. Great value for money and just couldn’t go past this CRV. Only middle of the road model but has more than we need. Got a great deal by asking for a seven year warranty and road side assist to be included.
Look forward to a long association with this vehicle.

Awesome car
We bought our Honda CR-V in January and use it as a family vehicle for my wife and I. We transport grandchildren on school or sports runs as well. The car is used every day and does short and long trips.
The car is serviced when the computer tells us to and so far no issues have been reported back to us.
Easy to drive, economical and very quiet.

Best SUV in the current market
Before purchasing the CRV (VTI-S) i test drove the Toyota Rav 4 and Mazda Cx-5, i made the easy decision to get the Honda Crv as it was in a completely different league to its competitors, responsive 1.5l turbo, logical dashboard and interior configuration, lots of bootspace, heaps of legroom, sharp exterior and unbelievable fuel efficiency, 7 year warranty! ticked all the boxes, after owning it for 6 months i am so impressed and absolutely love my car...I highly recommend you give the new Crv a test drive wont be dissapointed

Great car,,,
Great car,,,heaps of room...great on fuel...take it off economy mode and put your foot down and it goes like a bat out of hell..i would recommend it to anyone,,,don't be fooled with the cx5 mazda...drive one ...people at Ringwood Honda where really nice...we only bought the basic model..that's all we could afford..if you don't go on dirt tracks you would be wasting your time buying a AWD it only works on low speed stops your wheels spinning..
Do some reading up on AWD...

We are very grateful that we have bought our Honda at Sutton Honda at the Homebush. Thanks Wilson and Nick as they were very kind and professional and helpful and knowledgeable about everything we asked about this new car as we traded in our old CRV in. It’s Amazing and drives well and fuel is very good as we only fill up once a week. Thanks Honda

Excellent car great fuel economy
Bought in August 2017 after tossing between cx5 n crv. Crv represented a much better value for money and a much bigger interior. 5 yrs unlimited km warranty. I have driven in 17000km so far and average fuel consumption ranges between 6.5l/100 to 7.3/100 for mixed use. apple CarPlay is excellent.
I owned Honda’s before so I know they are good and reliable cars. This one is no different.

Recently bought this car perfectly suited for families with kids. But I'm a single girl (28) and I find the car perfect for the price and features. The seats are very comfy, driving is smooth, radio and sound system excellent. Apple Car Play is a feature that comes with the car which mirrors your smart phone to the screen - had a bit of trouble with it working for a day or 2 then it's disappearing and coming back again? not a system problem but a world wide Honda issue- can get very frustrating as it's one of the car's main features.

sn't suited for over taking or racing but apart from that. If your looking for a classy but practical car. This one's has my Tick. Great boot space and very roomy in the back seats. Lots of room for kids or adults and great for long trips.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Most practical car ever!
Big boot, comfy seats and super easy to drive. Granted you can't race anyone in this car, so overtaking and rushing is not a strength however, everything else about the car is great. We have taken this car on long trips and it's comfortable enough, however you soon realise that it's not as quiet as you would expect.

Beautiful car to drive
Easy and a pleasure to drive. Feels roomy inside, and good boot size, but not overly large to park. The included parking rear camera is very helpful. The car comes with Carplay which is a great feature with iphones but requires all apple apps and disappointing does not work with google maps. Seems economical to run.

Easy to drive
The car has excellent safety features which include front and rear sensors, reverse camera and left lane check.
the car looks small on the outside however there is a lot of room, the interior is easy to maintain and keep clean and tidy, would highly recommend purchasing the boot mat as it have saved me cleaning time

Perfect choice I have made! Ever!
I didn’t plan to buy the CRV. Simply because I didn’t like the design & also I wanted to have a 7 seater like Kia Sorento. But as soon as the CRV new design came out, which is MY18 look, it definitely caught my eyes.
I did a lot of research & test drive different cars. I ended up at Honda for a closer look through the CRV.
because it’s the MEDIUM SUV, I can’t fit my big baby pram in the boot. So it was a biggest disappointment for me at first.
I looked through inside & out. And then I was thinking Forget about the boot size, I can live wit...Read more
