I loved your video. It's quite refreshing and makes me not feel too dumb from all the automotive jargon everyone else uses. Exactly what any owner/driver wants to know--no more, no less. My wife and I are awaiting delivery of our CR-V hybrid (it's the SE Asian version). Glad to have found your video! 😊

Great video! I am getting the CrV Hybrid (L) and I have been watching Crazy Honda Chris, on KZread, he is so informative and really shows you all the features of every model and how they work so if you want to know how every feature works and how to turn them off( like some of the annoying beeps haha) I really recommend you check him out!

I bought a car exactly like yours after watching your review and several days or driving and research. I got same color and model as you 2024 Hybird Sport AWD (White) i really love the drive. Its comfy, spacious and comes with very impressive features. My upgrade was from 2018 Toyota Camry SE

I reset my trip meter the last time I got gas and I’m regularly getting 41 mpg currently it says. I hate that and I hope they get it fixed for you.

After seeing this video i ordered same colour and with black wheels today for my CRV. I live in Europe so it doesnt have fully black colour side mirrors but i will let it covered with black wrapping along with few smaller places. I have been test driving CRV for a week and started to like it. In europe we have also full digital display and heads up display also along with 9" middle console screen and remote engine starting for cold winter. Leather seats, with warming and cooling functions. Think this car has everything :D and its still a lot cheaper than Volvo XC60 i was comparing to that doesnt have same stuff unless you pay like 10-15k eur more. Thats too much

Great review. People might say you should have gotten the non-hybrid model because you're driving highway mostly, but the hybrid has more punch and some mechanics say the hybrid is less maintenance than a turbo 4. So, short-term and long-run, the hybrid has the edge. I had a CR-V for over 10 years before my current car. I miss the predictability of a Honda vehicle. It will get to 10 years easy. Get past the 10-year mark and you start having to get repairs. I hope it gets you safely to wherever you go.

@SamanthaCrane

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I agree, I think the hybrid will get done what I need it to for the years I have it, especially while commuting to school. The battery has an eight year warranty, so I’m hoping by then I will have gotten what use I needed from it. I specifically bought a new car so the end of life usage worries hopefully won’t happen while I’m finishing my doctorate.

I wish they did the electronic shifting buttons instead of the stick. I've the 2022 Odyssey and planning to get the 2024 CRV.

I paid MSRP which was $35,100. I called different dealers that had the model I wanted and told them I was going to buy a car from somewhere on that day, and if they added on fees I would go elsewhere. I had been talking to 4-5 other dealers that wanted to add on all sorts of additional fees from “market adjustment” to wheel locks to Teflon coating, laser vin etching, etcetera. It was the last day of the month and he said he needed to sell three cars and if I would come down, he’d take off any fees above MSRP. So with tax and everything it was around $38000.

The prices they are charging to have the extras with it are just insane.
