Just got my 2024 CRV Sport L Hybrid about a week ago. Ive put a little under 500mi on it in that time. Nothing but positives. Love the car love the styling love the handling love the features. Looking forward to driving it for years to come!
don't wait for the first oil change at 10,000 miles...our new 2024 crv sport will have had 4 oil changes by then..remember, oil/filters are cheap but new engines/rebuilds are not...
I purchased my 2024 Sport Hybrid on 12/26/23. I did my first oil change, free of charge, at 600 miles. Plan on changing oil/filter every 3000mi or 3 months. I've done this will all my vehicles since 1969 and they all lasted many miles. Good luck to both of us....
Heads up all : This completely normal high pressure Fuel injector ticking noise. If it’s cold out the engine will start right away on hybrids to warm the battery. Its built in to get ya warmed up fast .Hope this helps .
I have a 2023 honda crv touring hybrid and am in Canada near Toronto. So far I am happy with the car. I have had some reduced mileage in winter so far but still better than my old 2015 honda crv. I love how quiet it drives. I put on 17" michelin ice x snow tires and so far winter driving has been good. Normally on my previous car, if I installed snow tires the gas mileage would drop a lot, but this one there is only a minor difference between snow tires and regular tires. I also drove it from my location to atlanta georgia and back which is 1,000 miles (1600 km) and got between 35-40 us miles per gallon mileage with the snow tires installed. It does use more the colder it is. Today its -12 celsius which is 10 degrees f . It heats up nice and quick. I really have not had any problems with this car. I have not experienced any braking issues or anything like that. So far this has been a good purchase.
@@helsonly722 in summer I average between 38 and 40 miles per us gallon combined city highway. I tend to drive about 70% city, 30% highway. In the winter it drops to between 34 and 36 miles per gallon average. It can vary depending on how cold it gets.
Very helpful review ❤. I am the proud owner of a 2024 CRV Sport Touring Hybrid ( under 2000 miles) and the ticking sound you described has been worrying me. Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealership ( and yes…I just notice it when it’s cold). This is my 3rd CRV (1997, 2016) and I couldn’t be happier. Definitely a great vehicle!! Keep the updates coming 🚗
Just Drove this past Sunday from DC to New York during the winter storm and the car felt very stable driving in snow mode. Defensive driving is still very important as there are many crazy people driving even during the storm, but we got home safe.
I just bought a 2025 CRV Sport-L Hybrid 2 weeks ago and love it so far. Good to hear about the problems with the collision detection system - something to look out for. Thanks for the review!
I have a sport hybrid 2023 CRV. I get 29-31 mpg in North Dakota, in the winter. My last RAV-4 got 20 mpg in real cold weather. It gets really cold here. Sometimes 30 below or colder. In the summer I get mostly 40 mpg. I drive on a lot on gravel roads. Modern safety systems don't like gravel roads. The transmission is the best part of the car. It isn't slow at all, like the non-hybrid, but quite zippy. This is the best car I have ever owned.
Canadian owner here. '23 touring hybrid. 8500km so far. Blizzak winter tires. We have had several opportunities to drive it in snowy and slushy conditions. It performs very well and wife feels very secure driving it in those conditions. She enjoys being warm while driving, so it gets remote started and heated seat/steering wheel are used, as well, so fuel economy isn't nearly as good as summer. It would be bad no matter what we were driving, so I have no complaints.
Bought my 2024 Touring Hybrid in October and we have had a huge winter storm last week. 6 feet of snow, single digit temps. I used snow mode, driving thru whiteout, white knuckle conditions, cars all over sliding and slipping. Never not once had an issue. Very stable, never slid..did excellent in the snow. Best car I have ever owned, without a doubt. I remote start the car, run the heater, defroster, heated steering wheel and getting about 29 mpgs. Just too happy with this car!!!
My dealer said there probably will in the future be a recall on the steering rack. The sticky steering is the rack itself. I know because I am waiting for mine to come in to be repaired. Parts are still hard to get. Actually it is pretty dangerous for the steering wheel even slightly to stick at 70 mph.
Hi @tpaflusa, are you having the same issue that Paul is mentioning with the steering wheel? I had it and the dealer fixed it 10 days ago. But now is back. This is concerning 😢
@@tonycadiz891It started out that way with the creaking, then it started getting stuck in certain positions and was hard to steer when driving. The civics had a similar recall because they use a similar steering rack and now it's happening with the 23 and 24 CRVs. It happens regardless if the crash mitigation system is on or off so it's not that. They have my steering rack on back order and it could take a month or two because there is such a high demand.
I have a 2024 CRV Sport L Hybrid. I have just a bit over 2000 miles on mine so far. Getting overall about 32 MPG......but I'm also in Minnesota and it has been winter for my driving so far. I have really enjoyed the ride so far. hardly any snow here this winter so I can't comment on that either. Once I drove home on very icy roads and was VERY impressed with the traction I had on the roads.
@@gosman949 it’s an amazing car. Gas mileage is great, I’ve had it exactly 3 months yesterday, and I’ve had probably four or five people complement me on how nice the car looks, the Urban Gray, which is like a creamy military gray look. The touring model comes with the new 12 speaker Bose system, which is the best stereo I’ve ever had in any of my cars. It’s very loud, very nice sounding. Has a subwoofer, etc.
The lack of below-deck space for a spare tire is what is really holding me back from this vehicle. Can't do without spare for cross country road trips.
I have a 2024 Sport L. Happy so far. The only issue and it may not be an issue but when I go up a steep or long hill my engine revs pretty good. Wondering if anyone else had this issue.
I own one. 40 mpg is easy to do when driving longer trips I mean 10 miles or more. Driving short trips 1 mile trips deacreses mpg in every car including hybrid. Overall I like it.
Went from the Pilot to a new CRV just like this one. I've had none of the same issues. I do miss, greatly, the side mirror camera and back heater. Otherwise it's a dream!
Upon hearing and reading the very positive comments about the Honda CR-V, I no longer have any doubts that it is an excellent vehicle in everything, and that it has excellent reliability, it will be my next purchase without a doubt, thank you for excellent information.
Currently have a 2021 CR-V hybrid, Winter mileage is an issue. I am getting less than 30mpg in the winter and 38+ in the summer time. Aside from that, it has been a GREAT car and I am picking up a 2025 CR-V Hybrid Sport L tomorrow. Can't wait.
yes the systems do make the cars safer, they just need to add buttons to manually turn off the whole system some where on the dash so the user can easily manually disable it if needed
Paul, thank you so much for posting this excellent video review of CRV hybrid on RU-vid. Very, very helpful. I’m actively shopping CRV hybrid vs. RAV4 hybrid so this video is timely and informative. I’ve test driven both. I think that CRV has smoother ride (like you said “butter”), is much more quiet and is a more refined vehicle than RAV4. I also think the CRV’s software and infotainment is more organized (RAV4’s software seems more rudimentary and less intuitive). However the RAV4 has a spare tire and better battery warranty (make me more comfortable). Decisions, decisions. Thanks again Paul!
We have a 2017 CR-V EX-L AWD with 34,000 on it. It's now 7 years old with absolutely no problems whatsoever. We get a solid 30 mpg average. Best car we have ever owned, it still looks brand new. Looking to get a new 2024 or 2025 CR-V hybrid sometime this year.
I have just bought a CR-V EX-L. My Honda dealership offered a lifetime guarantee on the powertrain. I also own a Toyota Venza. When it is snowing, I have to turn off a lot of the features. The sensors get covered with snow and start sounding, and the auto braking kicks in. So, it's not just Honda. I went with the CR-V instead of the Toyota was the extra space in the back seat and trunk.
31 MPG for a SUV in winter is really good! My 2015 Fit CVT gets about 33 or 34 in summer if I keep it at like 65 MPH. This winter we had a good few weeks that was also 9°F here in Kansas and my 10 mile commute on the interstate was lucky to get 28 MPG. Measuring the remote start MPG makes sense, it doesn't know if you're in start and go traffic, or just sitting in the driveway; burning gas is burning gas and counts.
We found the same thing during a test drive yesterday. Seat belt buckle digs into my wife’s hip. Would have bought it but unfortunately have to move on.
Bought a 2024 CR-V hybrid sport-L. (Red) after my husbands 2006 Honda element took its last breath. This will be my 4th CR-V. We had a 2000, 2012…hubby hit a dear & it was totaled…went right over to Honda & bought our 2019 ( which we still have). I was looking at the passport this time but couldn’t justify the fuel difference… the passport is beautiful! So I opted for another CR-V. We live on Maui so I’m not worried about the cold but now I’m gonna be waiting for the car to brake suddenly when it rains☹️. I’m glad I watched your video🩷
Just to help ease many people's concern about the cold start ticking noise, it's basically the direct injection system at cold start. Unfortunately, you just have to get used to the way that technology is designed to work when the motor is cold.
What you mentioned about fuel economy is true for all hybrids. I lived in Chicago and my Prius fuel economy dropped by about 15-20% during the coldest part of winter.
Thanks for your video. Your first helped persuade me to buy CR-V. I’m just passing the 1,000 mile mark. I’ve been averaging about 37 mpg with the Sport Touring. I’m going to be intentional to use Econ mode to see if I can boost that number.
I've owned a number of Hondas/Acuras with the LKAS system and they all share one thing in common - the steering wheel clockspring is noisy and gets noisier over time. It's been replaced in a couple of our cars and it just comes back over time. I don't think it's a factory defect. I think it's a function of the mechanism that does steering assist and wiggles the wheel when it detects lane departure.
Australia owner here - 2000km completed - fuel economy - average 5.5l per 100km ( average 43mpg). going to work (30km) 4.2l per 100km coming home 5.7l per 100km. Temp 20-30 degrees C.
Hey man you saved me I have all the dashboard lights on and I watch your video and I just cleaned right now and they are all gone everything is working normal now is true this weather with snow and rain sucks because the sensor goes crazy
If Honda explains that engine 'ticking' is normal , then they should say WHY it happens. Safety sensor braking issues could be rectified by giving the option to override the system & by allowing the sensors to be checked for cleaning at startup while the car is in idle.
OK.... I own the '23 Sport Touring Hybrid. This would be my 3rd CR-V. Honda makes a great vehicle in theory, and that's why I've owned so many. However, there are always things Honda conveniently leaves out, that twist up the loyal Honda customers. No Homelink garage door opener ($350, took 4 months to get the new mirror that has it). No cargo cover. (They were included with all my other CR-V's) The screen is less than most other competitors, and firmware updates are all but non existent. The charging pad for the phone is wonky, at best. Wireless CarPlay has glitchy software that at times, needs a restart. It's good to have the onboard GPS (actually uses satellites), because the mobile phone people are not always that reliable, and towers are sometimes sparse. This thing has paddle shifters!! What the hell do I need with paddle shifters??!! (and, I did confirm that they are paddle shifters, and not some way to just invoke the charging system. The braking does that) This is a hybrid, not a Ferrari! And finally, there is NO SPARE TIRE!! I didn't find this out until I I watched another RU-vid video that concerned this. I have achieved 42.5 MPG during the summer, playing with it. In the colder weather, you will get more like 34-36 MPG. Thanks for the video! Well done!
I bought my 2024 CR-V Sport L Hybrid 4 days ago and only have a 100 miles on it. No problems so far. GREAT car! I had a 2019 RAV4 that I traded in . The CR-V Hybrid is significantly quieter than the RAV-4, even when it’s running on gas. On about a 10-mile round trip to the store yesterday, I got 41.3. MPG. The affect of extreme cold weather didn’t interest me that much because where I live we’re running our AC about 8 months out of the year. Bottomline, I know it’s only been a few days, but I can say that driving this car has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Bought 2018 Accord Hybrid in 2018 and been driving it day and night for 3 years and then one day I drove a 2016 Lexus RX with dual clutch transmission, felt like the gearbox was about to blow on me... That's when I realized how smooth of a drivetrain does these Honda Hybrids have... literally an electric vehicle with on board generator... average MPG over 3 years is 40MPG
My wife and I just got our 2024 crv sport-hybrid on dec 26, 2023..my wife and I love it..I actually got the first oil change at 625 miles..a little early but I want this engine to last for at least 300k miles..I personally drive a 2005 Pontiac Montana sv6 van with 170,000 miles and just put on 4 new goodyear tires and change oil every 3000 miles/90 days. No problems with this sort of car care..with the right regular maintenance most cars will last..
I was seriously looking into buying the CRV Hybrid since 90% of our driving is in the city. I ended up buying the RAV4 Hybrid because of the price difference here in Canada.
Nice review Paul. Thank you for thoroughly investigating the automatic braking issue. These systems can be a great help when the driver is tired or for someone getting older. Just check the sensors for debris or crud. The technology will only get better with time. Thank you for the average mpg figures, 31-36 is very reasonable for the size of this vehicle. I don’t expect it would improve over the summer, what with probably full time AC use. I will have to wait and see on future videos. 👍
We were going to buy one but our Honda dealership offered us $2500 for trade.I ended up getting almost $10,000.We bought a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE and we are glad we didn't get the Honda. We get between 40 to 55 mpg .I have never had a problem with collision mitigation system. That would really worry me.
Great car I have the 2025 sport L it drives like a dream, could be a be more insulated but it’s already a 9/10 so can’t complain. Mpg it’s between specs I have gone all the way up to 43/ G Can’t complain on that either but then again I drive normal speeds and I try using the electric feature as much as possible ⚡️
Mine has been performing really well. Averaging 31mpg but I mainly do short trips. That affects it. Only 1 problem, Infotainment system lost connection to my phone and would not reconnect. Rebooting the Infotainment system fixed the problem but unfortunately it’s a secret combination of buttons and menus to reboot. Thank God someone put a video on RU-vid of how to do that.
That is why we got the heck out of Iowa. After living there 52 years, we moved to Orlando in July 2021. Couldn’t take the cold and snow. And you don’t need all wheel drive here in Florida. So save the $1,500.
My front Nissan Kicks sensor gave me a warning because there was ice or snow on it, but it sensed something was wrong, and it asked me if I wanted to disable it temporarily. I pushed yes as I was on the expressway. Then when the snow blew off, it was fine. The back sensor is touchy if it senses I am near anything. But it catches cars far away that I don't even see coming and protects me from backing out. I always question it, "Are you sure?" But it is always correct. I get 29-39 MPG in the city and 38-46 MPG on the expressway. In winter, as you say, the mileage has dropped. But my car is not a hybrid. You are welcome to all the snow we've had in our area to test your car. I have front wheel drive. It did get stuck in the unplowed parking lot once after a horrible, heavy, wet snow. Otherwise, it has been okay. I learned too late I am supposed to disable traction control when stuck in snow.
I live in the Uk. I have the plug in advance tech. Charge overnight on cheaper electric. Most of my commutes are less than 40 miles so full electric driving most of the time. Only 2 wheel drive though I haven’t experienced any traction issues.
Your mileage can drop as much as 1 mpg for every ten degrees the outside temp drops due to increased viscosity of all the fluiids. Your hybrid is about 5 to 6 mpg better than my gas cry in cold weather
Drove mine not 30 miles and the regenerative braking malfunctioned. Had a whirring grinding noise. It is in the service dept and can't wait to get it back.
2024 purchased in late 2023. 15K miles bugs on my sensor during freeway driving caused me to get lots of "errors" on the dash. 31mpg to 33mpg --- driven x-country and now tooling around in FL with the AC on constant my right rear wheel is leaking air slowly. triggers the TPS warning every 3 or 4 weeks. added a second horn to the pathetic stock unit Wish the outside mirrors had memory
Just got 2025 CrV Hybrid the only thing I don’t like is going up on the hill the car is weak and loud not enough power! Other than that the car is good and comfortable
I enjoyed this review, but I have 1 objection. The "smoothest" hybrid is undoubtedly the Rav4. The CRV uses two clutches to cycle between hybrid/EV/Gas modes and causes some delays and mildly perceivable jerkiness. But I'll give you one of the smoothest. Other features put it as a nice unit than the Rav4, though.
Why I went for a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige and never considered the CRV hybrid are as follows no 360-degree camera, no panoramic sunroof, and don't get me that tiny infotainment system and half digital instrument cluster, and no spare tire not stuck with garbage tire repair kit. Also, the Sportage hybrid comes with 227hp combined compared to the 200hp combined on the Honda CRV. And without all these features it still costs more than a fully loaded Sportage hybrid with all these extra features.
Thanks for watching! We considered that, but the problem is insurance is through the roof. Some insurance companies won’t even insure a Kia because they get stolen all the time.
I got my 2024 Hybrid six months ago. Everything good until now. When I'm cruising on the street I would lose acceleration and car would slow down like its on regen mode. I played with the throttle and sudden it would pick back up again. Happen a few times. Second day again it happen and all the warning lights came on. I scanned it with my obd2 and it said the brake switch was at fault. Cleared the code and didn't come on for another two days. Will wait till it set a hard code and will bring it to the dealer
they gave me a honda pilot as a courtesy service vehicle that car braked on me mid speed at 45miles, no one in front of me, its super scary thankfully no one was behind me. cant imagine what this would look like in a busy highway at 75miles an hour
I have a 2014 Peugeot 3008 SUV diesel hybrid that has a 2 litre diesel engine driving the front wheels and the electric motor driving the rear wheels and I am achieving 48 to 52 miles per gallon here in the UK.
Regarding the collision mitigation, I had a similar experience with my 2020 Honda Passport Elite. I was driving in the mountains east of San Diego last month, and there was a late season snow. The snow built up on the Honda emblem / radar sensor in the grill and I got the same warning message as you. Once I brushed the snow off the sensor, the error message went away. Fortunately, I didn't experience hard braking when that happened.
2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid: Got mine, May 2023 & it's April 2024. Honda has deemed mine critical & unsafe to drive. Luckily i was given a loaner while its in service. Downside I'll probably have it for half a year... Steering wheel would lock while going around curves & unlock after i go over the line & the LKA pops on. Has problems going up & down hills & also has problems traveling across states. I love it, i have so many positives with it, but i think I'm going to have to let it go.
Takes 6 months to fix? The tech is dangerous and does no good for anything else. These are steps on the way to self driving cars. Crappy time to be buying cars. They break and take forever to get parts for, they cost a fortune to fix past warranty. Just give me the simple gas engine from a decade ago. They were way better
I have a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and it has never started braking for no reason. It has braked when I came up on a car making a left turn in front of me, and that was a little over cautious, but legit. I have gotten a few warnings when it thinks an oncoming care is in my lane, but it never actually applied the brakes. Currently have 75,000 miles. So, not sure it’s are pervasive as you say.
Oh it’s definitely an issue across multiple newer vehicles, check vehicle forums and Reddit. Consider yourself lucky you have an older Ridgeline with an older system.
I have about 1K on my 2024 CRV Sport Touring Hybrid. Very happy with the car so far. I did go on one long trip through some slushy wet snowy weather. The safety systems go off when the Honda emblem on the front grill gets too much accumulation over it and a warning pops up. Apparently there is a sensor or radar in there of some sort. It didn't seem to take too much precipitation for this to happen. I was also wondering if anyone has noticed that the wipers park in different positions at the bottom of the windshield both when turned off or resting. I also noticed the wipers will sometimes jump up a quarter of an inch when the engine is turned off. This does not happen every time. I've had a lot of snow and ice here in the NE and have had to use the wipers a lot. Not sure if it's a fault with the wiper system or normal behavior.
Also the car broke down after less than a week of purchase and Honda had to replace the fuel injector. Had 80 miles on it and ended up stuck on the side of the road for 3 hours waiting for Honda roadside and went a week without a car before getting the car back. Hoping my experience going forward will be a uneventful
My dad had a 2023 Sport that sadly got hit, but he has a 2024 EX-L Hybrid and his only complain is that it uses to much gas in the winter but he's still happy with it and has about 4300 KM
Never had an issue with any of my cars with forward collision. If the sensor is blocked like that it shuts off. I don’t buy the dealer saying a leaf being on the front caused it to brake constantly.
@@stevecontos3317 That’s crazy. Honda doesn’t seem to have updated their ADAS like Toyota for example has. Other than switching to camera based for the new civic and integra, I can’t think of any other improvements since the original system.
@@HappyBuffalo-ky9niyeah then when I complained to Honda they said they have never heard or this happening before. Luckily it hasnt happened since but its scary that without turning it off you cant override it in the moment. The system as a whole just seems less than stellar. Lane keep assist doesnt always work or decides to work when not changing lanes just because pavement color changes.
Have a 2021 hybrid rav4. That cold I can get from 28mpg to 33. When cold like you. Can’t do anything about it and that’s still a lot more than everyone else😂
I'm waiting for a Civic hybrid which are due to start showing up at dealers end of this month. I've read the owner's manual and had already decided that I'm going to turn off the CMS as well as some of the other nanny features like driver alertness monitor and such. Sometimes they tend to go overboard with some of these features.
Canadian here. 2023 CR-V touring hybrid took delivery of it March 2023 and use it for my business. Got about 56,000km (~35,000 miles). I upgraded the wheels to 20” for the Summer. Sitting on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Very good tires, much better than the factory Continentals. For Winters I have Michelin X-Ice’s. No complaints there of course. Driven through blizzards in BC and two feet of the Pacific wet snow in Vancouver. Never been stuck before. Always 100% confidence. During -30C conditions the suspension makes a ton of weird noises. As well as the engine, the ticking is a lot louder; combining with other sounds. Gas mileage is way worse in the cold as the electric motor doesn’t really run by itself at all. Planning to trade in for a Pilot by Winter 2025 as the CR-V will probably reach the mileage of my extended warranty (160,000km) by then. My last vehicle was a 2019 Ridgeline Touring, that thing had just over 150,000km when I sold it. The torque converter was starting to go and I was out of warranty so I had to get rid of it fast. The CR-V has been good to me. Only problem I had was the tailgate spoiler shell peeling up and Honda replaced it under warranty. I can assure you if there’s a problem that comes with mileage on the new CR-V I would be one of the first group of owners to experience it in North America. And one more thing about the longer oil change intervals. I think it’s fine to follow Honda’s maintenance minder. For my first three oil changes I did the 8,000km interval. The oil that was being drained each time was still transparent. So been following Honda’s minder ever since.
I'm only a couple minutes into your video and you've covered the ticking here in Nova Scotia it does that when cold and the fuel mileage. That i disagree i had it in August warm weather into September and i was not getting very good mileage and it's even worse in winter. 8.7 liters works out to 27 mpg nowhere close to your 31. That's actually due to warmer weather this winter in bad weather extreme cold a month ago i was averaging 23 mpg. In late summer/fall yes it was better but still pretty bad. I got about 32mpg that's in city driving where I'm supposed to get better. It's a really really bad issue
Re. the collision mitigation system issue. In your wife's case, that malfunction could have CAUSED an accident, rather than preventing one. That feature needs to be user-switchable, and if Honda's lawyers are uncomfortable with it, there could be a "by turning this feature off, you agree that ...." agreement required. Otherwise, they are actually taking on MORE liability. One question: I assume that the sensor that was covered was something that could be seen from outside the vehicle, so that being aware of this could prevent it from happening again? My Prius use to nag me that the sensors are dirty all the time in the winter and wouldn't let me close the error screen and see other information until I stopped & cleaned them. It was very annoying on those days with snow melting and salt spray everywhere. I got my 2024 Sport Touring last week and have ~500 miles on it. Thanks for the sneak preview and heads up. One issue I'm having is the distortion in the driver's side mirror. Feels like I'm wearing someone else's glasses.
I think the object smacked the sensor so quick it couldn’t tell if it was a car or an object covering the sensor. Normally, when visibility is reduced or it’s snowing, it nags us telling us the sensor is blocked.
it looks that you are driving mostly out of town and the mileage over 43 miles per gallon is actually when you are in town that's where you get the best mileage in the hybrid that's besides the fact that it is winter as you were saying
I just bought mine last month everything is great ! But i feel like my ears sometime start to close or pop, really want to know if some owners have had that same problem
Regarding the collision mitigation system breaking due to the sensor, I’ve driven a 2017 CX-9 Signature for 7yrs that has the same system and it has never happened! To me, that issue of sudden breaking is a manufacturer’s issue…not a norm in the car industry!
Unfortunately I have to disagree. You (and myself) have just got lucky, my wife, not so much! It’s pretty common across the board if you look on Reddit and car forums. I’m not so sure about these safety systems! Thanks for watching.
@@PaulsPlace I'm in the process of driving a Chrysler 200C to its dying breath, and in my collision system, it recognizes obstructions and will automatically turn automatic braking off until it is cleared. ie. It won't senselessly pump the brakes beyond the initial reaction once it realizes (most common in freezing rain situations), and I'm surprised this isn't a feature in other brands.
apparently the "sticky steering wheel" is a common issue with the new CRV as well. complaints all over the CRV Facebook groups. I'm contemplating getting the Sport L and adding the heated steering wheel vs the Touring. How's the stereo compared to the Bose in the Touring?
