    Yes, fog lights are needed. They are a necessity in my book. The grill looks much more aggressive but the aluminum intakes look like exhausts. They remind me of the old Chevy SUVs that had front intakes like those. I definitely zonk the halogen turn signal. I don’t understand why a manufacture doesn’t insert LED bulbs everywhere. They are not that much more expensive.

Low beam LEDs are more than adequate in fog. (note: the fog lights used to make some difference in the previous generation Accords, true enough. But no more.)

Not having ventilated seats is also a miss. Also, I wish the CRV had levers in the back to pop the rear seats down without reaching. Add those features and I'd be more interested in buying one. Don't love the lack of a spare tire either.

    I definitely zonk most of the same stuff you do. I've already pre-ordered the Sport Touring model, but I really am disappointed that Honda didn't include options for:
    -Pano roof
    -Heads up Display
    -Ventilated Seats
    -Full digital dash
    -360 camera
    I know several of these options are included, plus a 3 row of seating, on the Asian market versions of this CR-V, which is quite disappointing as the main competitors offer some or all of these, but at the end of the day, none of them FEEL like a Honda, and that's what ultimately won me over in choosing the CR-V.

    Nice review. Our blue CRV touring is being delivered next week & we're very excited. You mention the 10 speed transmission. The key to the Honda hybrid system lies in the unique transmission. It's not a conventional CVT. At lower speeds (and in reverse) there is no direct mechanical connection between the engine & wheels, just the electric motor driving the wheels. As your speed increases, there is a clutch #1 that engages set #1 spur gears to mechanically connect the engine to the wheels for city speed cruising. Then as you increase speed, clutch #1 disengages and another clutch #2 engages set #2 gears for highway cruising. These two clutch/gears are very efficient & is part of what gives the vehicle such good fuel economy.

    Hi Raiti, GREAT review as always. Re: 'Whether the sunroof should be "Panoramic", I am frankly, glad it's not. Here's why:
    > If you leave the pano--roof closed, but the sunshade open, a pano-roof will bake the car like an oven.
    > With pano-roofs, even if I just want to open the roof a little, I still have to open the sunshade all the way in the bright sun.
    > With smaller sunroofs, like this, one can usually open the roof half-way, then pull the sunshade half-closed. NICE 😎
    > Pano-roofs are more likely to shatter on very hot days. (Can you say 'Hottest day on record for August"?)
    > Pano-roofs have more problems and are more expensive to fix. Hyundai had to service mine 5X, before finally
    replacing it at no charge, OUTSIDE of the warranty. (It pays to service at the dealer and keep ALL the receipts)
    > Pano-roofs mean bigger holes cut into the roof of the vehicle, which compromises structural integrity.
    (This is one reason why hi-end luxury vehicles usually don't have fold-down rear seats, only a pass-through)
    > Less structural integrity could possibly mean something in a crash or roll-over
    > Less structural integrity can also mean more "Buzz, Squeak and Rattle" ("B-S-R") issues over the long-term.
    > Larger pano-roofs also give thieves one more easy, large, point of access into your car.
    > Finally: . . . Passengers aside, Can YOU really see any more of that blue-sky behind you, from the driver's seat?
    Without twisting your neck? I think not!
    .
    I hope that's food for thought. "Gort, Barenga" Happy motoring

    I live in Spokane, WA and the weather in winter is bad. This car needs fog lamps and the sensor in the Honda front grill emblem doesn't work if it's snowing. It gets covered with snow and shuts off the front sensors which means you have to clear off the emblem sensor once you stop the car. I went out yesterday during a snowstorm and only went for about seven minutes before the sensor got covered and was worthless.

It seems that Toyota is offering a cheaper hybrid model, so unless Honda lowers their price which is unlikely given they can't make enough of these, Toyota will continue to win.

The gas mileage is the same as the Hyundai. To summarize it’s a A+ compared to it’s competitors. If you want luxury the RDX maybe in a hybrid in the future.

    I realize that test vehicle has been thrashed by the press, but 16.7 mpg to 25.8 mpg, the figures I saw on that screen, in sunny California? What’s up with those figures in a hybrid? Yes, I know hybrids aren’t much better than normally aspirated engines on the highway, but 25.8 mpg is still well below the EPA estimated highway figure of 34 mpg. And the 16.7 mpg on the tripmeter, which I assume was the average fuel consumption, shown near the beginning of the review!
