I have near 5000 km's on mine. It has been a fantastic car. When I have the ECON on I get 43 mpg on the Hwy and 35 Mpg in the city. Plus it's so nice to drive, comfortable and spirited enough to pass when I need to. Without a doubt better without the NAV system. THe reverse comes up on the HD display and is way more clear. The 2012 CR-V is the Best Honda made yet.
Oh! you should see the review on Mercedes Benz GLK. The nav system, he even goes for a smoke and comes back (figuratively) between commands LOL It is a hoot..
I was at the Honda dealer today,i brought in my 02 crv for the airbag recall, and i was checking out the all new cr v , and its nice but i will stick with my 02,
I like my 2001 Honda CR-V SE better, despite the worst fuel economy it has! It still has the stock audio system, which is an AM/FM, CD and Cassette Tape player. If I were to make phone calls, play Pandora or iHeartRadio on my smartphone, I would get a cassette tape adapter to use it, and every year I clean the cassette Player with a Head Cleaning tape. And for over 10 years with proper maintenance and under 55,000 miles, it's durable.
@davidhalifax that's one of the cons of a built in nav. But unless you keep the car unlocked, no one would steal it. It would be hard to steal too. Since it's built deep into the dash. But the real problem is that it cost alot cause the nav is only available with a expensive package.
Not sold on the styling upgrade.. kinda looks like a big crosstour. But I think Im going to check the local dealer out and see how they are IRL and how are they willing to deal with one.
The car look so so .... But engine bay is a mess ? What happen in Honda design centre ? Lately they design not attractive or fun anymore ? Toyota and Nissan are taking the lead ! The Honda seem left behind ? I love Honda eg6 , ek9 , fn2 , NSX , dc2 , dc5 ....... But now I felt they running out of idea to make a good car design ?
Picking my wife's up this Saturday. How do I do it CNET style!!! Lol F that broke ass navi system. But the dual zones climate control is going to be a God sent. My wife tries to cook me on a regular basis because she can't properly regulate her body temperature.
who would want to be seen in that thing. the rear lights are the worst what is up with that sideways v shape and the window fitting into it just looks wrong a new car should look new and have some style.
David James No davy boy, it is you. Somehow the moment you got hooked to my post, it started to stink all over. However, if you insist that it is not you perhaps then you should check with your own momma after all she is responsible from squirting you out into this world otherwise would be decent place.
David James Oh! I asked her long time ago, and we even went through the DNA testing and all. However, the problem is with your mother. She does not know your father, ask her don't be afraid. She is telling you lies about others so that you would feel better so that you wouldn't be feeling bad about the way you stink. So ask her how many husband wanna be's she had in her lifetime one of them must your daddy. P.S. go with heavy smelling dude, you know genetics.
The transmission, exterior styling, and few other things on the CRV is dated! Honda is not innovating anymore rather trying to sell their cars with their reputation!
I've owned nothing but Honda's for the last 20 years. I have two of them. I just think the new CRV design looks like EVERY OTHER ugly car out there. It is almost identical to a KIA Sportage.
Rebecca Horton I said you sound like an every other Honda hater and you still do. Because, how you sound is irrelevant to how many Honda's you owned or how much you love the brand etc. That's how you sound. Because only haters would feel so strong to use such words as ugly, or disgusting etc. And you are one of them.

I love my 2003 and 2012 . Perfect cars .
I drive a 1999 CR-V and it's a really great car
I feel like Im the only one who really likes this redesign...I think they did a terrific job!!!
2012 Honda CR-V EX-L, 2,790 miles
Omg that text message & response had me cracking up...

I remember when these first came out the standard review camera was a huge aspect that made it stand out.
Like the redesign. Hope it continues to be reliable.
Keep the reviews coming Mr. Cooley! You're the best!
This is a great car! I don't know why people hate it so much!
Honda makes the best cars.
it is a show about car technology, nav is a huge part of that.
BRIAN COOLEY: BEST REVIEWER ON CNET
This guy dose realy good reviews
Boys II Men, Jodeci and my favorite Terrance Trent D'Arby radio!

Overall design... That is good.
Good review
"yo dog saw you in a 300 now you in a honda is business bad" LMFAO
Honda is really dropping the ball in terms of design lately
the 2011 crv is better looking and its just better than the new one.
Might I suggest only using the ECO button during stop-and-go traffic or 25-35 mph city driving?
really do not know what has happened to hondas design dept. still think they hit the sweet spot with the 2nd gen car
Not sold on the styling upgrade.. kinda looks like a big crosstour. But I think Im going to check the local dealer out and see how they are IRL and how are they willing to deal with one.
I liked because the review was good... even if the car wasn't.
can't wait to buy one of these 10 years from now for like 4 grand lol
Welp they really are holding their value good now! Found some for 13-19k
Just bought one ten years later $15k for a base model
lol the side profile looks like the hunchback of notre dame
they never mention anything about the VTC actuator rattling on startup......
Always good.
2012 model is Non CVT for the USA?
Volvo + Subaru = Honda CRV
I thought the clock was the Mazda logo at 1:17. Honda might want to address that in their mid-cycle refresh.
i dont want ads!
the text message was funny.
The Jeep Cherokee invented the crossover for all intents and purposes.
You can blame the channel the owner decides to have it or not.
Reminds me of the Subaru B9 Tribeca.
"Yes"
Still no smart key?
i would like to compare it to my '97.
CRV behind got some little bit same with toyota AVANZA :)
But it price not same :PP
Stop the advertisement with your video, it takes too long to view with it.
nice..
what is 300?
Good review... But very bad sound quality in the car... like always
He answers yes to the text. Lol....
2013 version looks soo much better

When will Honda finally update their navigation. Looks so dated!

bleh, "functional.", maybe..."fugly.", yes. :-)
Not my taste. I would rather buy a Toyota RAV4 or Hyundai Sta. Fe.
third dislike
good car ...but low power and overpriced ....
boring suv.....slow...womanish..i hate it...get a kia sportage turbo or santa fe
UGLY! Honda needs better designers.
looks like every other ugly car out there.
And you sound like an every other Honda hater out there.
I've owned nothing but Honda's for the last 20 years. I have two of them. I just think the new CRV design looks like EVERY OTHER ugly car out there.
It is almost identical to a KIA Sportage.
