Affordable 7 seater

published

We were very skeptical of the 1.5L turbo engine for such a big car. The engine turned out to be surprisingly sufficient and also frugal on fuel. The dashboard is all digital, and has nice and big readouts. The only thing missing on this type of car is LED headlights, the halogen headlights has very poor visibility at night.

Perfect car

published

Perfect family car. Bought when they had the limited edition. Lane change assist camera is the best function I ever had. Front and reverse sensor and camera makes parking a breeze. Love the design of the car - more than the newer ones. Fuel efficiency could be bette but happy overall.

The Perfect Family Car

published

I absolutely love this car, I brought it for my wife as she wanted a larger car and it hasn't missed a beat. It runs smooth and quiet when on economic mode, and we get over 500kms to a tank which is amazing. Highly recommended to any families that want a gorgeous car that has a reasonable price tag.

Quality for all kinds of use

published

Wow, what a light car!

For such amazing legroom and large space for passengers and cargo alike in the booth, the car drives insanely lightly. Fuel efficiency seems pretty average, it goes a reasonable amount on a single tank.

One unique quality is its endurance. Pushing the car over long distance trips taking the kids to school has had it hit its service KMs threshold lifetime faster than it should, and the car is still powering through strong on its light engine.

Even better, on the freeway cruise control and eco mode make it a breeze without feeling like a power hungry family sized car.

Perfect 4WD family car for the price!

published

Bought CRV new and it was great to drive in - smooth and with ease. Interior and spacing inside is perfect for a normal size family of 5. However one negative thing I will say is the fuel efficiency, it is not that good compared to other vehicles out there if your petrol savvy.

Comfortable, reliable, versatile SUV

published

We bought our 2007 (MY 2008) CRV with 90K km on the clock, trading our early release 97 CRV that we'd owned from new. We've found the 07/08 CRV great to drive, cost effective to run and the interior is really comfortable for passengers and flexible for cargo. We do a combination of country and around town driving - regular servicing and maintenance (religiously every 10K kms) and replacement of the airbag after the recall has been the only time it has been off road in 6 years. Now approaching 200K km, it is still going strong and while the interior has stood up to wear and tear well, the paintwork is looking a bit thin. We would like to upgrade to some new tech and a true off roader/twin cab ute this time round - but Honda doesn't make one!

Great safe suv

published

We bought the last honda 2018 honda CRV and its the top of the range model a beautiful car to drive and with the AwD is so safe in the wet. I have a very bad back injury and the seats in the CRV are great and in the winter will be perfect with the heated seating. I highly recommend this car, but just be careful of the salesman, make sure everything is in writing and emails and you won't have a problem.

Fantastic Car All Round & Cheap to Maintain

published

My CRV is now a few years old and I can safely say that it was a great decision to purchase it. The car drives very smoothly and has maintained a 9.9l/100k fuel efficiency which is pretty decent for an SUV. Plenty of useful features such as the storage compartments and makes good use of the dashboard.

My only complaints are that the car system doesn't work great with Android phones compared to iOS and the air conditioning temperature control isn't fantastic. Apart from that the car has been cheap to maintain and it hasn't had a single issues as far as driving experience.

Great first car

Swapped over from Suzuki Swift, the field of vision has definitely improved. Although parking is a little tricky due to the size of the vehicle, it is equipped with all the safety features to ensure a smooth park. Cruise control feature is easily accessible from the steering wheel, which makes long distance driving a safe and pleasant experience.

Great first car

Great performance and very smooth to drive. The interior has ample leg room. Wish the colour scheme was darker. I've had this car for 8 years and haven't had any issues with it yet, just the basic servicing a few times a year. I like that this car looks like a 4wd, nice size, ample boot, good height. No complaints!

Love driving but a couple of issues that drives me nuts.

published

I’m very happy with the driving experience apart from reversing.
Even with the backing camera sometimes hard to judge. EG my husband keeps hitting things!
Also the acknowledgement that appears on the screen very quickly drives me nuts. To correct you have to turn off the car take out the key and start process again. Time wasting.

On occasions my remote control won’t work & have been unable to lock my car. On returning to the vehicle sometimes only 15 minutes later find the accessories, interior & side lights all on. The auto electrician & Honda dealership can’t find anything wrong.

Wow sounds like a nuisance problem, the best people that have direct access to Honda are the car dealers, specially the one where you get your car serviced.
I have contacted Honda direct and they keep palming me off to the dealers.
So keep hassling them and ask them for solutions, maybe to reprogram or replace your remote control.
Good luck!
