2015 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD Start Up, Review, & Test Drive @ MOTORCARS HONDA 

I've never understood the obsession with the dashboard materials... Do people go around caressing their dashboards on a daily basis? Who cares if it is hard?!

Boy... It's 2020 and little did you know your toilet paper comment would become needed for some people. XD 13:35

The lift gate button on the fob just unlocks the lift gate, nothing else. You can have all the doors locked and press the button and just have it unlock the gate.

Easily one of the very best RU-vid vehicle reviews I have seen ! Good balance and coverage of features, spot on & common sense commentary. This really assisted me in my own assessment of the '15 CRV EX-L model. Great work :-)

13:37... you can fit "a year supply of toilet paper"...anyone watching this in 2020 would find this statement eerily predictive lmao

Really well shot and edited review, keep it up!

Great review! Nice to see you back making videos!

I just bought a 2015 Cr-V Ex-L and LOVE it! I traded in my 2009 LX Cr-V and am amazed at the difference in feel, drive, turning capacity, and comfort. Obviously - basic model to Ex-L would be different/better. But I'm very please with most everything. You pointed out about the power hatch that does not work on my key fob. That was one of the reasons why I wanted to see if it was part of my package. Guess not! But you showed some things that I didn't know - the driver seat thigh adjustment, the console moves forward and back which I didn't know. thank YOU!

You make excellent videos! I hope we get to see more of you in the future. Awesome video about the Honda CR-V. Best review on RU-vid Looking forward to your next video.

Great job on this video! Its really good!

This is such a well done review! Thank you!

I had no clue you were local. You drive past my house in the video!! lol

I know exactly what you mean at 15:50 when you say the engine doesn't feel direct when you accelerate. Our 2013 Accord with the 4 cylinder and CVT is almost the same way, in that it feels disconnected from the car. I think it has to do with the fact that they basically use speakers to produce artificial engine sound...that and the drive by wire system. Also when you're trying to drive the car spiritedly you can definitely feel the rubber band type of acceleration with the CVT. You punch the gas and you have to wait 3-4 seconds for the revs to go up and the power to kick in, but by that point you're greeted with almost too much power and it lurches you back. Although in some ways it's good because when you're going 50-60 mph without realizing, it tells you that the car is very compliant and sure-footed. I still love the feel of Honda's, regardless of the CVT.

Some good camera work here. A well done review.

One thing I really hate about CRV that they didn’t have side mirror lights for even the high EX-L trim That could have looked so good

Came for the interior insight highlights, stayed for the nicely shot test drive. 👍👍👍

Excellent review!

Thx for the review. I like it.

Great review/overview. I just bought one exactly like this one you showed here 3 weeks ago. It is replacing my 2012 CRV. I am happy to report that (I guess) Honda must have straighten out the vibration problem because mine does not vibrate at all. When I bought the car I knew about the new Earth Dream engine & that they put a different transmission in the car. But I was surprised to learn Honda stuck a CVT transmission in there. I The CVT was something I thought I'd never want in a car but this engine AND CVT transmission honestly work together beautifully. In fact they work much better then the transmission in my 2012 CRV. Here is an example: My 2012 CRV was the most annoying thing to drive in Econ mode, I hated the shift points and the constant shifting and loss of power on off the line starts (in Econ mode), so I always had Econ OFF. and I never used Econ all the time I had the car. But this 2015 Honda is TOTALLY IMPROVED. If you actually have to drive one I am sure you'll agree. As good as the previous CRV's were, Honda did a very good job of refining everything on this car down to every detail. I my case, I climb a 3,500 ft grade almost ever day, and unlike my 2012 CRV that struggled to find the right gear, my new 2015 CRV, finds the sweet spot in the gearing and it take me over the top with plenty of power and no struggles, and even if the CVT transmission resets the gearing, it is totally unnoticeable unless you look at the tack and you can see it readjusted the gear ratio - smoothly and unnoticeably. So I'm loving it, and I have no complaints at all about this new CRV refresh (except I kinda miss my right arm rest my 2012 CRV had, but I'm getting uses the using the center council as my arm rest on the new car. Since Honda had to redesign the council to run heater/AC ducts through it to the back seat, I am OK with the trade off). But it is still very comfortable and enjoyable to drive. So in my opinion and experience as a former owner of a 2012 CRV (that was a wonderful car overall), this car is in everyday an improvement over the previous CRV. One more thing important thing. 2015 CRV owners are going to love having nice bright headlights in your CRV for a change. The headlights in the previous CRV's were just awful. I am glad Honda finally put decent headlights in the CRV.

I wish Honda could share this Lane Watch system with all other manufacturers. Subaru's Forester is still at the top of my list, maybe just below or tied with the Ford Escape.

Thank you, just got this car ❤

Very nice review. Can you do a review on 2016 Mazda CX-5?

The CR-V is a very well designed vehicle. Honda knows what their customers want and sales are increasing.

Can't wait for the redesign.

My cousin has an EX-L AWD like this one, except her's is white diamond pearl over beige.

If you can, could you do a review with test drive of an Acura TL SH-Awd. 2012-2014.

Great video thank you.

amazing crv

The button unlocks the trunk. It's not an ignore button.

For the backup camera, does it beep as you get closer to something or do the guides just change color?

Mine has 171k miles got it with 135k all I have done is rear and front brakes and a battery replacement.

Just got a Honda CR-V today!

How are the blind spots if you don't use the cameras?

Just got a 2014 CR-V EX last Father's day with a 50,000 miles on it. Weather stripping needs to be replaced in the driver side.

Thank for your great review, and your Country is also very beautiful.

Will it break down? Is it reliable?

My grandma used to have this same year and model car but crashed it and got a 2021 ford ecosport

i think the fuel green eco can gas guzzle too much

No aux jack on the 2015. Bummer :(

Do they made Honda in pink or purple

I still don't like the back end of this car. They've got something going with the front facia, but those horizontal tail lights along with the bulbous stance makes it look really kinda weird and outdated. I have the same complaint with Volvo designs...almost reminds me of a chevy lumina van. I hope when they redesign this car they can make the back end look something like the new Pilot or the HR-V.

Nice man good to see your review agains, just dont stop reviewing toyotas haha.

I really love this car I'm getting it for my Gradution in June

That is the only car I will buy

Can you do a review of a 2015 honda accord v6 sedan

Do the 2015 still have the VTC-Actuator start-up noise problems?? This has been a issue for the CR-V since 2008!!! Haven't address the problem at all!!

No mention of the notorious vibration problem in this review - an inexcusable omission. It's all over the internet, but not in "reviews" that have a relationship with dealers.

I have a 2016 Toyota RAV4 LE Replaced the Honda CRV

Love mine ,but vibrates

the trunk button unlocks the trunk *****

All crv cvt

I'm really disappointed that the crv now has a cvt. I quickly lost interest in it.

vibration problem solved???

At 15:30 you mention the engine but you edited out your thought ???good bad

👍

i got that car before

2016 mitsubishi outlander and outlander sport please..

Nice but the rear of the car looks 2008

Do u get paid from youtube

Dude u should do your homework....you seem to be unaware of many of the spec., & tools.

I am on Team RAV4

smart people buy used hondas...

Those rims are disgusting

He didn't seem to like anything about the car no matter what he said about it. Snobby attitude. I couldn't enjoy it.
