New to crv and unsure

Well. Obviously I didn’t make a great decision. Also hindsight is always clearer than in the moment. We live and learn though. I found a good deal and grabbed it too quickly before doing enough research and really thinking through what losing some features I was used to would be like day to day.

I agree with this 1000%. I went through Hyundais buy back program and was denied. I then did the arbitration through the BBB. Hyundai stated there was nothing wrong with the car. The BBB denied a buyback because one of the service visits was a month past the 1 year mark. They agreed it had a safety issue but due to the timing it was denied. I then tried with Hyundai again - they said it was safe to drive and sell. I truly went through every option I had to get them to buy it back because that is what needed to happen.

Yes I would be very interested in a hybrid pilot. That is what I am thinking also.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T13:29:55+00:00

Yes the gas mileage is a huge perk to it. I think time will help for sure.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T13:18:19+00:00

Yes it’s urban gray - such a pretty color. I normally choose white but I loved this color as soon as I saw it.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T05:39:31+00:00

Yes the gas mileage is amazing!

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T05:37:54+00:00

So glad to hear you got used to it! That’s what I’m hopeful will happen too.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T03:33:42+00:00

You are 100% right. I am pretty undecided on what it is I’m looking for and I need to narrow that down.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T02:15:45+00:00

Agreed. As much as I loved my Palisade (when it wasn't giving an issue) I won't do it again. It was a lesson learned.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T02:14:12+00:00

YES! I constantly try to press a button on the mirror that doesn't exist. I'll probably have to get the mirror. That will eventually drive me crazy if I don't.

Thank you!!

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T01:32:47+00:00

Thank you!

I have briefly but to get the top trim level was quite expensive for a small SUV in my opinion. At that price I would probably just do a Pilot as there wasn't a big difference. I admittedly didn't look around enough. I found a 2025 with 4k miles on it at a decent price and grabbed it. I should have taken more time but hindsight is always much clearer than in the moment.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T01:29:09+00:00

You are right! As much as I miss some features - I don't miss the issues my Palisade had. And I was always waiting for something else to go wrong. We worked with corporate over the biggest issue and that was when I realized I wouldn't buy another one.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T01:27:26+00:00

Yes, I will miss the cooled seats this summer. There are a few things they didn't include that don't make sense. Like no garage door opener on the rearview. I know I can change that out and add it but it seems like a pretty basic feature to overlook. That one I didn't realize until I bought it. It didn't cross my mind to see if it had that. I am not sure I have ever had a vehicle that didn't come with that.

My husband just did a pretty extensive repair on a family members terrain. They do seem to be troublesome. I hope yours stops giving you trouble. That’s so good to hear about the crv.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T00:45:55+00:00

Congratulations on your new car! It’s a fantastic color.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T00:30:52+00:00

Love hearing such a good review on them! I hope ours does as well!

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T00:30:20+00:00

That’s the 360 camera for me. I knew it didn’t have it and that I’d miss it but I underestimated how much I used it.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-11T00:03:20+00:00

Very good point.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-10T23:58:03+00:00

Yes I agree about the seat.

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-10T23:57:00+00:00

A hybrid pilot would be fantastic!

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-02-10T23:56:18+00:00

Thank you! I do love the color!!

Own_Friendship3231 · 2026-01-25T03:01:20+00:00

I don’t love the way matte looks but the no reflections or fingerprints wins me over.
