2024 Honda CR-V EX-L Review - Comfort & Consistency 

They come out of nowhere!

Don't mind me asking what was the total out the door priceM I'm interested in one as well

@@misterfifteen1422 not at all no problem, last summer prices were high but I got a good price for my trade-in, so I think it was around 40, I paid almost 38 for the car then when you add the taxes. (With the actual add-ons add about 2.5 more grand) Now I did opt to have them put some optional stuff on the car, because I didn't get the hybrid it came with chrome rims but I wanted the black ones so that cost me $1,800 with installation, then I got door edge guards and the pieces that go on the bottom of the door in case somebody opens their door into yours. I also had A separate company wrap the front end in plastic and had a ceramic coat done to it which cost around two grand or so. I like it The only issues I've had are a rattle from the sunroof when it's open, Honda seems to be lacking on their support I took it to two dealerships, the one said they found a couple of pebbles up there which I think they may have just said they did, It's still did it. Took it to another dealership they could hear the problem and said they couldn't fix it, they recommended me buying an aftermarket air deflector from the dealership and having them install it. What a rip off suggestion that will not work. I also had issues with the vehicle infotainment system dropping Android auto and a dealership and Honda over the phone told me that I needed to do a factory reset, which was no fun, because then you had to reset all the presets and the radio, rearrange all the icons on the infotainment center. This happened like 8 times before January. Then I looked online and found out how to do a reboot as others were having the same problem. Since then it's only happened a couple of times and I could fix the problem quickly without having to go through a factory reset. I guess that's the long version of how much I paid but I thought the other info would help as well.

DRL are led. They can be turned off when parked if you apply the parking brake and restart the engine.

When you shop between Rav4 and this Honda, be sure to check out the Nissan Rogue. I have the Rogue (2022) and you can save several thousand $$'s when you compare apples to apples between the 3.

Only the non-hybrid trims.

I question the long-term reliability of these small-displacement high-boost engines, particularly when they're in relatively heavy cars with a transmission that's programmed to select as high a ratio as possible.

@@bwofficial1776 yeah pretty much. I do think the technology and manufacturing side changed from 20 years ago, so maybe they will last a long time, time will tell

Honestly it's kinda weird since their bigger displacement engines actually got better mpgs than these smaller displacement ones. But epa and their goofy rules

Your point is valid and it’s a concern I share. I’ve felt that from the get go in 2017. Honda says it has updated the 1.5 liter engine but it’s still asking a lot out of a small displacement engine in the long term.

My Honda dealership said there are no chip shortages at this time, so all the Honda Sensing is avail on the EX-L - as I inquired about that one. Check your dealer

@@praisingann4him Thank you very much for the great news, much appreciated.

Right and no automatic trunk door

You can’t get aluminum alloys in the EX trim in Canada. The fabric seats are very good and can outlast leather and they don’t crack over time. You have to get the black alloys on the EX trim in Canada of which I’m not a fan.

Deal breaker for some

I recommend driving both I just drove both they both drive nice the hybrid gets a bit better gas mileage but the seat back is a little narrower then the gas option is so I am getting the ex-l just because the seat is more comfortable all the way around for me. That may not bother you specially if your a smaller person.

@@tessm3420 I end up buying Mazda CX-5 lol because these honda dealer are greedy af with $7,000 markup

Lunar silver metallic

We have the EX and it came with Apple car play.

5’11

I did film a car with 2 miles. I’ve done several dealer cars where I have more than half the mileage when I’m done, and I usually only drove 3-8 miles

Incandescent is more of a aesthetic choice imo. Honda probably ran out of rnd money because you can tell where they cheaped out and they probably wanted to keep the price of the crv competitive.

No spare is a deal breaker for many

Agree Honda treating consumers with contempt

Our 24 EX has rear seat charge points and BSM.
