Honda CR-V - great SUV! A perfect vehicle for a single person or a small family.

We got the car used. We have had good success with Honda in the past and we wanted an AWD SUV. I use the car, primarily, to drive to and from work. I couldn’t be happier with the car - it has been reliable and well worth the investment. I plan on keeping it for several years.

Morgan H

So much space! I could fit everything I own in it.

I love my Honda crv. I live in Utah so it is perfect.to drive in the winter. It has all wheel drive which makes it easy to navigate uphill and in the snow. It also has economy option which makes you get more miles to the gallon while driving. Mine has a sunroof, which was a great addition to the car. I recommend this vehicle to anyone!

Honda CR-V ex-l - luxury & comfort at a reasonable price, and regular gas!

I just bought my used 2014 Honda CR-V ex-l today! Actually, we got it Saturday, but picked it up today, five days later. I love its smooth ride, great gas mileage, its looks, comfort, leather seats, sunroof, roof rack and color. I have always been a Honda fan, and am happy to have another in our family. I have owned or shared ownership of nine Hondas over my driving history (also had a VW and a mercury in there) Honda is just the best! Well made, efficient, nice looking, great gas mileage.

It's very economical and dependable vehicles to own.

I love the comfort, the roominess, the mileage, the dependability, and the trade-in value of the vehicle. There is nothing I don't like about it.

Tracy R

Honda is the best car maker

I don't have any problems with my current vehicle. I love Honda. It's my second Honda. I have had my cr-v over 4 years and have 55,000+ miles. It drives as smooth as a new car.

Dee G

Rides comfortably. I love riding in out CRV because there is plenty of legroom and it rides smoothly.

Love the back-up camera on the car. With lots of grandchildren It's nice to have that feature to see what's in back of us. Love how it rides and looks.

Emerald F

Honda CR-V- best gas mileage on the market.

I love my vehicle. I get the most amazing gas mileage for an affordable price. It is also super large and great for traveling. I have never had any problems with my vehicle. I love the backup camera as well. I do wish I had seat warmers for the winter, but other than that I love my car.

Joseph C

A detail is you can talk on the phone through the car's speakers via Bluetooth.

I love my Honda CR-V for many reasons. These include the vehicle's user friendliness, Bluetooth integration with my cell phone, smooth driving, comfortable interior and efficient gas mileage. I have not encountered any maintenance issues since I have owned the vehicle over the last five years.

Georgette M

I really don't have any highlights about my vehicle. I love my car it's a good running car.

My car is reliable, dependable and comfortable. Also a lot of room for moving stuff. No problems with my vehicle.

Judy J

Easily accessible and good gas mileage.

I am handicapped and i tried a lot of vehicles but this is one i could get in and out of easily. It is very good on mileage.

Billy Al

Reliability

My CRV has 35,000 easy miles on it. Has low speed transmission shudder,front axel seal leaks, grinding noise on cold start ups and rear differential whine. Honda has deaf ears. I would never buy a Honda again

Jay Dee

Nothing but headache

Engine makes noise when cold-started and goes away in seconds. Honda doesn't want to acknowledge the problem or offer a solution. No more Hondas for me!

Tom B

Battery Sucks

Hard to like anything about this car. 3 batteries in 5 years. You would think that if Honda was a reputable company, they would have addressed this problem long ago.

Monica R

Reliable, dependable, and I am super thankful for it.

4 cylinder engine, base model so no tint (and we live in Florida), the a/c does not get as cold as I'd like, and it does not have a lot of features base models of other vehicles in its class have from other automakers. Additionally, I cannot find a rear window wiper replacement blade to save my life!

Btenda B

Honda is a good car and reliable as a vehicle can be.

I do not have enough power to feel comfortable getting on the freeway. It is only a four cylinder. I do not like the shocks on the car, I feel every little bump that I drive over. It does have a lot of places to plug into cell phone chargers, I like that. And the rear windshield wiper is great feature.

Burn oil

My 2014 Honda CRV burns oil at a rate of 3/4 quart per 1000 miles and gets worse as the oils gets lower. I went in for an oil change at 5000 miles (earlier than required) I use synthetic oil. Honda says I should go to every 7000 miles. When I went in for my oil change at Honda the Service mechanic I had very little to no oil. I watched the oil very carefully contacted Honda bought it in to Honda for an oil consumption test 2x and they agree it is burning oil however Honda’s policy is the oil life is ok if it less than a quart per 1000 miles.I spoke to the service Manager he refused to do acknowledge or do anything about it even though the math sugggest I will be empty before each oil change.....he said it is my responsibility to check an fill the oil. So I have to add minimum 3-4 quarts of oil before every oil change.....this is lousy service and this will also me my last Honda

The 2014 Honda CR-V problems include engine noises, transmission shuddering, and two serious airbag investigations.

Tire pressure monitoring problems are a widespread issue. Honda has a technical service bulletin for this issue as well, which usually solves the problem.

Heater and air conditioning problems are also mentioned by owners. Flushing the heater core costs about $240, and usually fixes the problem.

Erin P

I have not had any mechanical problems with the car. It is very reliable in terms of safety, mileage and no known issues with this year make and model.

Angela V

Very reliable, which makes me feel good knowing I do not have to constantly worry about issues. I have yet to take it to the shop besides regular maintenance.

Ash H

In general I would say the CR-V is reliable. However, it does seem to have problems with the wheels and tires. I had to replace a ball bearing and have had several instances of flat tires.

Andrew S

Very reliable I have and have not had a problem with it whatsoever. I know every morning when I turn the key it will start and I will be ready to go.

Lenore P

No problems other than maintenance issues. It is reliable but the bumper could be stronger - I no longer have a bumper because the plastic on the front bumper crushed very easily.

Natasha L

It is very reliable. I haven't had any major issues with it. Regular maintenance helps tremendously.

Ella V

Yes it is reliable. In the 1 year I have driven it, I have had no issues besides getting new brake pads.

Rachel B

Yes, very reliable. I have not had any problems with my vehicle. Only had to do typical maintenance.

What Technology & Safety Features are Included?

Technology is good for a compact SUV, with a standard large infotainment screen.

Upgrades include navigation, rear-seat entertainment, and six or seven speaker stereo systems depending on the model.
Standard safety equipment includes antilock brakes, airbags, traction & stability control, and a rearview camera.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the CR-V?

The 2014 CR-V is slightly larger than some of the other compact SUVs on the market. Passenger room is excellent with a good amount of space for adults in the second row. Cargo space is also good, with 37.2 cu. ft. of room behind the seats, and 70.9 with the rear seats folded flat. There’s enough room to easily fit five suitcases.

Another rival is the Subaru Forester, which is slightly more affordable than the Honda. The Subaru comes standard with all-wheel-drive, and has a more powerful engine available. Reliability is better in the Honda, but the Forester has higher safety scores. This is another close call, if you need to drive in the snow, the Subaru wins, but otherwise the choice comes down to personal preference.

Nothing but headache

Engine makes noise when cold-started and goes away in seconds. Honda doesn't want to acknowledge the problem or offer a solution. No more Hondas for me!

Charlene H on June 25, 2021

We love it so much, and highly recommend it.

We love it. We take it everywhere, the mountains, out on dirt roads, the city. We pack it down. We put a hitch in it, so we put our bikes in the back. We have racks in top so we put our kayaks on, or our thule to load up on ski gear. The only thing that we do not care for too much is that the front passenger does not have an armrest for their left arm.

Kate S on June 25, 2021

Very spacious and reliable!

The car is very reliable and it does not take much to fill up my gas tank. Very spacious and making more space is not hard at all! To put the seats down all I have to do is pull a lever. My one complaint would be that there’s no vents for ac/heat in the back seat. Besides that love it.

Shawna P on June 22, 2021

Great vehicle not ideal if you have 2 or more children in car seats.

Vehicle is very comfortable. It is a little cramped when you have to have 2 car seats for babies in the back. The drive is smooth and the fabric seats make it where it's not hot or cold depending on the weather. Drives like a dream no matter the conditions. I definitely would recommend getting the treatment for the seats that gives it a protective coating to make clean up of messes easier.

Olivia L on June 21, 2021

Worth getting a Honda CR-V car.

It is very nice and reliable, no major problems, pretty comfortable inside but five people is kind of pushing it for the car. The Bluetooth connect-ability is very good and reliable however it is a little bit confusing to add new phones into the system which is slightly frustrating. Overall, a good car and a worthwhile purchase.

Lupe M on June 19, 2021

2014 honda cr v review - ok car.

While it has great gas mileage, it does not offer a quiet ride. You feel every bump on the road and feels like air is coming inside. Accelerating to pass someone is not easy due to the 4 cylinder engine. However it is small enough to park even in tight spaces.

Mercedes M on June 17, 2021

The Honda CR-V is my best first car ever!

I love my Honda CR-V! It was my first car and it helped me journey to college and graduate school. It has great mileage when doing long trips. I took frequent 3 hour car drives and the Honda has never failed me. This car has been with me through thick and thin. It is been buried under snow and has made it out without having to dig it out. It is super comfortable! The seats are upholstery, but it is super spacious to enjoy a car ride by yourself or with friends!

Valerie H on June 17, 2021

Fits two car seats and has great storage for a stroller.

While I love this SUV the tires are really slick in the rain and snow. Other than that it has great storage in the back and room for two car seats. Love the backup camera. It is very clear. The navigation and map is clear and very helpful especially in the dark in an unfamiliar area.

Colleen O on June 17, 2021

Perfect mid size vehicle!

Windshield wiper fluid holder has cracked twice despite no exterior damage. Radio is starting to go. Ac is starting to go. No major maintenance has been needed. Overall have enjoyed the car. Good midsize car, trunk is very convenient for storage.

Kathy G on June 14, 2021

Always loved Hondas. Always good reviews. The best for resale !

Smooth ride. Good gas mileage. Love the seats that can be put down. Spacious trunk. Good value. Good return. Really good in snow. Love that wipers slow down while the car is stopped for any reason. Love the sunroof. Easy to use like that it has arm rest. Last SUV did not. Love the back window wiper.

Chris L on June 12, 2021

The extremely safe cost effective SUV.

It is great on gas and rates within the top two mid size SUVs. It is also a very safe vehicle. Those two reasons were the reason we bought it. We are a family of four and travel far for work and to see family. Saving on gas and having an extremely safe automobile was high priority.

Ray L on June 11, 2021

Great design and build, but screen needs to be brighter.

It runs very well, and the interior is very sleek. The seats are comfortable and easy to clean, while the inner screen is very easy to navigate and interact with. The UI and button layout is intuitive. The exterior is very modern and attractive looking with sleek ergonomics. The car rarely has issues starting and has enough right sized compartments and areas for me to put my personal belongings. I love it! I just wish the screen was a little bit brighter.

Laura C on June 10, 2021

I have a 2014 white Honda CR-V. I have had it for two years!

My Honda CR-V has been a fantastic car. As a mom of two, it has plenty of room for the littles in the back! I am tall (5’11) and my husband is as well (6’1), and there have never been issues with space. It is completely reliable, safe, and even looks pretty! I have white with tan interior. I would 100% recommend this vehicle.

Kaley B on June 9, 2021

Love the audio and the seats.

I love this car! It is super spacious, reliable, and fun to drive. Relatively cheap to fix and all issues have been easy to diagnose. The entire car is versatile and perfect for all travel needs. I can fit just about anything and it is super easy to clean.

Marjorie R on June 2, 2021

Love everything about my vehicle.

My vehicle performs great. It rides and drives smoothly. It has been very reliable. Makes good gas mileage. Comfortable and roomy. Am able to haul my TerraTrike. In cool weather, it heats up quickly. Airco dictionary works great. Has good storage room from traveling.

Lucia D on May 25, 2021

Efficient, spacious, family-friendly vehicle.

I love my CR-V. It gets excellent gas mileage but is larger than a small car. It is very comfortable for passengers. It has been reliable so far. I bought it used and have had no major issues. The leather interior is easy to keep clean. It is spacious and a good vehicle for traveling and road trips.

Gary A on May 24, 2021

Pretty much love my Honda.

It is comfortable, reliable, safe (and has great traction in snow. Which is important for us). I got it because I needed to move a bunch of things from FL to NY. And it got better mileage than advertised! I have only one minor complaint: it does not have automatically-dimming rearview mirror (something I'd become to love about the Saturn vue I traded-in for the Honda.

Tara D on May 23, 2021

Lots of great road trips in my CR-V!

I have been very happy with my CR-V! All the features work great and it is a comfortable, reliable car. The gas mileage is very reasonable for a SUV. I do a lot of road trips and there is plenty of space for great. The only thing I regret is the shape/exterior look but it is a small complaint because all the things that matter in a car the CR-V has 100%.

Bobbie S on May 23, 2021

CR-V reliability, comfort & economy - more than you pay for!

The Honda CR-V has been problem free for 6 years. I love the fuel economy, comfort and reliability. The seating is comfortable and the leather has held up well. The trim and steering wheel are also in good condition showing little wear. The carpeting has held up well and none of the vents or other moving pieces have broken. The cargo area is spacious and adaptable for all kinds of needs. The exterior paint has maintained a nice shine even though I rarely wax it. The headlight covers haven't fogged as I have seen others do. The a/c works well. I rarely use heat as I live in south Florida. The seat heater is quick and has 2 settings for when we do have a chilly night. The cruise control works great and all controls are intuitive and well placed. I love the Bose sound system and how well the handsfreelink works with my cell phone. The call controls are on the steering wheel and easy to use with my left hand. The phone menu system is at the center console area near the radio and very easy to navigate. The phone book and speed dial features are super easy to use. I literally push 2 buttons and a call is placed to my most frequent number. The sound of the call is clear and never drops a call. The only drawback is moderate road noise. I did improve with the last set of tires I purchased, but I have definitely driven cars with more soundproofing.

Maddy C on May 21, 2021

I love the rearview camera and Bluetooth connection. It is a very smooth ride.

I don't have any issues with my vehicle. I have not had any issues with my vehicle since I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle has been easy to maintain and has not had any issues. I do not prefer the gear shift, I do wish that it was behind the steering wheel. The gas mileage is good for the size of the vehicle. The vehicles is very spacious and can hold my family and pets without issue.

Lexa R on May 20, 2021

This car definitely is value for money.

My Honda CR-V is 6 years old, a little over 100,000 mileage, no problems so far. It runs great. It is not a gas guzzler. Repairs are not expensive (compared to other car brands) but you honestly will not need to do much repairs if any. It is a very reliable car. It is also the perfect size for my needs.

Debbin B on May 16, 2021

Honda CR-V, wonderful vehicle.

I have never had a problem in the road with the CR-V and it is almost at 70,000 miles. The only negative thing is the ac compressor went out this year in 2020. It drives very smoothly and gets great gas mileage, almost 30 in city and 33 on highways. I recommend it.

Paul K on May 10, 2021

Honda CR-V do not overpay for this one.

The ride could be better takes bumps rough for such a vehicle in its price range ride not very quiet either seats are comfortable handling is good gas mileage fair the tire pressure sensors didn't work well after buying new tires the vehicle service menu display is nice helps with service reminders wasn't impressed when buying new that the navigation system wasn't a part of the deal that was an added buying option.

Toni H on May 8, 2021

Highlight of my vehicle is Honda CR-V model.

My vehicle is really good for driving I love my car and I am really satisfied with my vehicle, the are not any problem in engine or anything else exactly say that I loved it and what you like is Honda brand, not any problem in engine or anything else exactly say that I loved it and what you like is Honda brand.

Michel J on May 1, 2021

Reliable vehicle with over 100k miles.

My car is excellent. No problems at all. Normal wear and tear, typical of a 2014 vehicle with 104k miles. I have replaced the windshield wipers. I have had regular oil changes, tire rotations and I have had no problems. The gas mileage is excellent and I love my CR-V.

Stacy S on April 26, 2021

My Honda is durable and fits all my wants and needs.

I love my Honda, in my family we believe Hondas are dependable cars, they have never failed us. It fits my needs and gets great gas mileage, its comfy and perfect for a small woman, seat is customizable and I love how smooth it drives. I love the built in radio and the grey color is perfect, I would not want any other car.

Joy V on April 26, 2021

My car color is very unique which helps me find it in the parking lot quicker.

My Honda is very basic. Only having a backup camera and Bluetooth. I like how compact it is and tall it makes me feel which helps me see more around me. The armrest for the driver seat is what sold me the car. For me, I require that in order for me to be comfortable since my commutes are very long. One problem I have is I cannot raise the seat up anymore which requires me to get some sort of a booster seat because I am short. If I ever need to have repairs, the parts are usually within reason.

Stephanie M on April 25, 2021

Reliable car, good for my bike!

I love my Honda. I bought it because I have heard they are very reliable. It also gets good gas mileage. The size is perfect for me; I needed a car that I could put my bike in the back- I just put down the back seats, and I can easily get my bike in and out. I got this car two years ago in 2018, after my Nissan rogue got into an accident. I was going to get another rogue, but then I saw this 2014 on the lot. It was a good price for me and relatively low mileage, so I decided to get it.

Isabel I on April 24, 2021

Honda crv reliable and economical car.

I was owner of two honda cars. I could said there are very easy to open and steal. Airbag was stolen.And another time I had problem with a door stolen. Car is very reliable, I love outside activities and I always have tons of space to drive people and equipment. My car is 4 cylinders, very good with gas. The car is honda crv good space inside but big enough to find parking in the city anywhere.

Dallin P on April 22, 2021

Smooth driving, long lasting car.

The vehicle performs great! I get great gas mileage, I have had very few maintenance problems over the last 5 years I have owned it, and it is easy to keep clean (granted, I am the only person who is really in it). It is got a lot of storage in the back, especially when you put the back seats down. My only complaint is that it is not my favorite looking car, but I would highly recommend a CR-V to anyone.

Lexi B on April 21, 2021

The Honda CR-V has wonderful gas mileage and a comfortable interior.

My CR-V has very affordable gas, and gets amazing miles to the gallon. The layout of the interior is comfortable and the touch screen and backup camera make it so much better. The car itself drives very nicely, and is smooth on the road, and so far I have not had major issues come up with this vehicle.

Luke C on April 17, 2021

Reliable and affordable Honda SUV.

Standard performance, reliable, good on gas, and roomy. The car itself drives just fine, not really bumpy or anything and you sit higher up since it is more of an SUV/hatchback. 70 thousand miles on mine and besides minor maintenance it runs great still.

Michelle N on April 4, 2021

I am happy with my Honda CR-V.

My Honda is reliable, has good storage room, is safe, handles snow, ice, and dirt well. It is good on gas, is comfortable. I did have to get the transmission replaced when it only had 400 miles on it, but that was a flaw from the factory and I have had no other issues with my Honda since then.

Lenore P on April 3, 2021

Good car - not strong on amenities.

This is my second Honda CR-V. I like the brand and model including looks and performance. When my 2000 Honda CR-V died, I could only afford a used basic model. I do not like the lack of amenities including the cloth seats. Overall, Honda does not have the level of amenities compared to Subaru and Hyundai. One of those will mostly be my next car.

PRIYA P on April 2, 2021

The cr v is excellent compact SUV and great value.

There is no issue on this vehicle. Honda is best company for car and really good SUV car. And features are great. Since 2014 I drive this car I do not have any problem or issue. And if you call Honda services for car maintenances is to do it. Thank you Honda.

John N on March 31, 2021

Spacious. Beautiful. Private.

I personally do not have any complaints about my vehicle. I have had it for a while but I just explore so many things every now and then. I recently just discovered that I can put it in “cargo mode” which really helped me while I was moving houses. I really have no complaints and I am really thankful that I have it.

Heather B on March 29, 2021

Safe and dependable vehicle!

My husband and I were looking to buy a new vehicle and without a question we decided to purchase another Honda. We have a lot of experience with Honda vehicles and they last so long. The vehicle drives great and has really good basic features. The back up camera has been wonderful and is a nice feature to have on the car. The only problem that we've had is the water pump. The water pump went out on the car and it had to be replaced. The car continues to drive well and I trust it to get my family wherever they need to go.

Theresa M on March 29, 2021

Most reliable car I have had.

No major problems with the 2014 Honda CR-V. Oil changes and tires are all I have had to deal with in 5 years. The car has approximately 80 k miles on it and my mechanic advised that the brakes are still in good working order. I drive a mixture of highway and main road miles and usually drive the speed limit. I get approximately 24 mpg. The only drawback is that the seats are not as comfortable as I would like for long drives. The passenger side does not have an armrest and can be uncomfortable on long drives. Overall, I am very pleased with the reliability of this vehicle, I would buy another CR-V and recommend it.

Alicia S on March 28, 2021

Great vehicle for families!

I have not had any major problems with my vehicle. Routine. Maintenance has been easy. The only feature I do not have is on screen navigation, but a smartphone negates the need for that. I love the seat warmers, and my kids love the sunroof. This car is perfect for our family of four!

MaryBeth E on March 28, 2021

I love my Honda CRV. Great to get around and very dependable. I also love that it's AWD. Helps with the snow and other elements.

Has AWD and handles great in the snow, rain, all the elements.

lori W on March 27, 2021

So much room! The perfect car for me I could not ask for a better car!

I love my Honda CR-V I got it from my grandfather and he picked out the baby blue color because it was the same color as my grandmother's eyes. It has no much trunk space I personally keep all of my tennis equipment in the trunk all the time and I still had enough room to pack all of my stuff in it when I moved into college. I have never had an issue with any aspects of my car it is truly the ideal car for the person on the go and it is a great family car.

2014 Honda CR-V: comfortable and surprisingly spacious.

I love that it has a sunroof and arm rests. The seat height is adjustable, which is great because I am short. We have had issues with the battery dying a few times. I think we've gone through four batteries in six years. The back seats are easy to fold down and it can hold a surprising amount of stuff considering the side of the vehicle. I have been able to fit 8 ft planks of wood into the car with no problem.

It's the perfect size and as a smaller sub I fit in parking spots.

It's been perfect for me. I love the storage. Also the gas mileage is excellent. The tank is small my only complaint.

Up-to-date gps; rearview camera; flexible steer wheel.

First of all, it has a perfect space for my family. The adjustable front seat also makes it drivable for everyone in my family. The steering wheel is flexible, but need to be careful when driving on ice or snow. The best part is that it has a push-button start, you do not need to insert your key every time.

What we like about our Honda CR-V. Reliable and comfortable.

The ride is very comfortable, I love the heated seats, the hatchback fits our lifestyle, the interior is plush and very nice. It is a reliable vehicle with great gas mileage. The sunroof is a nice feature, as well as CD player. My children love the fold down cup holder and storage feature in the backseat. Everyone has enough leg room and it is comfortable for long trips.

Travel near and far excellence.

Gas mileage is excellent and my Honda CR-V is very comfortable on long trips, even for my husband who is 6 feet tall. I'd recommend this vehicle for anyone from new drivers to elderly for its stability, size and handling.

Love this car for my new family!

I really like the way the car drives. It is smooth with not a lot of road noise. It is also spacious enough for a car seat without taking up to much room that I cannot load the car up with I needed! It is reliable and safe for me and my family. It is comfortable and spacious even when riding in the back!

A good looking car with a smooth ride, great gas mileage & safety features.

I love my CR-V. It is comfortable with a leather interior. It has side and front airbags for safety, and it has great gas mileage both in town and on the road. It has a smooth ride, a leather interior, and a sunroof. I think it is a good looking car. I would definitely buy another Honda CR-V.
