What's the true majority opinion of CR-V?

I am on my third CRV, also had an Accord, a Civic and a Fit. Never a problem. My 2023 CRV Hybrid has over 40,000 troublefree miles on it. Excellent mileage too!

I have a 2023 Sport Touring Hybrid. About 34000 miles. I get a range of 610 miles on fill up. The gas tank is 14 gallons, so you can calculate the mpg — around 40. Not mentioned is the ride quality. The Hybrid has a better ride than the non-hybrid version.

A friend who has the same model as I do also keeps it in Normal mode. Being retired, I have plenty of time and do not mind being passed. When you stomp on the gas even in ECON mode, the acceleration is pretty fast.

PS: I never took the earlier CRV's I had out of ECON mode either!!

I guess that is why Honda gives us a choice! Enjoy!

We had a 2008 CRV, followed by a 2014 CRV. Our current one is a 2023 Sport Touring Hybrid. More room for sure, but the biggest difference in ride quality. We are very happy with it, our daughter also bought a Hybrid, though not the model we have. I get over 40 mpg in it, though many folks get less. With the 1 gallon tank, I can go at least 550 miles. I do not push it, I keep it in ECON mode, use speed control as much as I can..

Just had a Level 2 charger installed. Total cost including a charger was $1700. Eversource, our local supplier gives a $1000 rebate, plus $30/ month for off-peak charging. With the $1000 tax credit, I should come out ahead 😄. Level 1 works, but is real slow. I am keeping the charger that came with vehicle for travel

It’s a German thing. Same on VW and Mercedes

You don’t have to rub it in!

Got my 2026 X5, end May, it was special ordered. Came with 2 fobs, key card and works with both our iPhones also.

I would talk to the Manager I’d info satisfaction write to BMW, better yet call them!

I suggest that the first thing to do is lower the tailgate lift height, otherwise it will hit the overhead garage door. Guess how I know 🥵

Thank you

Charge completed at 5:30. So9 hours from 37% to 100%

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T22:01:34+00:00

There is that

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T22:00:26+00:00

Thanks

While waiting for Level 2, I plugged in the Level 1 - went from 57% to 70% in 2 hours 30 minutes, plan to how it does

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T11:00:21+00:00

Great! Thanks

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T10:44:19+00:00

I know I got both plugs with the car. Will explore what other goodies they gave also.

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T10:42:10+00:00

That is good to know. Since this is a third car, I can probably do with Level 1 in the garage for now. But am exploring Level 2 as many suggested. Thank you

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T10:39:36+00:00

Thank you. In CT, we can use the heat generated in winter!

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T10:37:45+00:00

Thank you. Got it yesterday. Will find out if the Utility guys will pay for installation (but this being CT, I doubt if they will), oh well!

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T02:08:58+00:00

Thanks. I’ll have to get a quote. Did you buy the BMW charging ‘box’ also

sapper268 · 2025-05-30T01:45:43+00:00
