Wear headphones! This video is recorded using binaural microphones to give you the most realistic “test drive” experience! In this video, I discuss my impressions of our new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport-L Hybrid after two weeks of ownership racking up 750 miles. You'll hear about fuel economy, all the features, and some things I like and don't like about the CR-V. Stay tuned, a longer full POV review is coming, along with anything that happens along the way.
MSRP: $39,600 USD

Hey Paul....1st off...thanks for the prompt to use headphones....I have never done that with a KZfaq video and yes, it sounds amazing and so realistic. I have pretty much been a hard core Volvo wagon owner and currently drive a V90 T6 which is great but their screen dash layout has never warmed me over...their 2025+ cars are pushing everything to an oversized IPAD in the middle with ZERO driver console...😲 The other thing that Volvo owners have FOREVER lamented about is no glasses compartment like my previous Subaru Outbacks and your CRV. You wouldn't think that is a big issue (OEM's thought process probably) but it IS for owners. I also appreciated in your review without over-hyped puffery.....just the real deal but your words are very car-centric for car people like me. I think this will my next car next year.

I can sell my Cr-v with 109K for more than I paid for it in this crazy market. Just put new Goodyear Weatherready tires and replaced rear struts. Basic maintenance and replacing wearable parts. Runs and looks new and I hope to not need to replace for a long time but if I had to, I would get this new Hybrid as well. Hope they are as reliable as mine over the long haul.

Thanks for responding, apparently the visors in the 2023 and 2024 Honda CR-V are a bit different than the 2008 CR-V and 2020 CR-V's which I also owned in the past. I placed the garage door opener on the visors of all these vehicles, and the rattle I was hearing came from the same exact garage door opener placed at the same area of the visor. The rattling sound I was hearing on the passenger side apparently was the movement of the garage door opener from the vibrations while driving. As far as the brakes go, I figured out the proper using of the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The vehicle can be slowed down quite a bit even without applying the brakes. @@PaulsPlace

The "B" mode will not save on brake pads and rotors. The brakes on this hybrid CR-V are drive-by wire, so the braking is controlled by the computer and it will use all regenerative braking if it can. I'm not sure how the "B" mode works on the CR-V hybrid, but my 2002 Prius throws energy away by spinning the engine in "B" mode. It somewhat reduces battery charging (because it is throwing some of the energy it could put into the battery as heat and noise) and will destroy MPG.

How do you manage without a spare tire?

@PaulsPlace 10 ай бұрын

Roadside assistance!

@one_hoop 7 ай бұрын

While not having a spare is discomforting, I am fairly old and have used a spare tire maybe once in my life? This car is not suitable for true off-roading where it could be more difficult to get help. Another factor is that we all have cell phones now, whereas 20-25 years ago you may have been at the mercy of the next car to drive by!

It's real disappointing Honda didn't somehow work in a spare into this vehicle. While roadside assistance works, you will get stranded without cell service. You have to figure out ways to sacrifice cargo space or roof rack and sacrifice mpg performance hit to carry a spare. Love everything else about this vehicle.

@@brianmanning9271Plenty of vehicles have tires under the car close to the bumper. The battery does not take up the entire cargo compartment under the cover. This would be up to the Honda engineers. Seems to me like they had 4 years to improve on the original design but somehow was not made a priority.

If you drive the average of about 1,000 miles per month (12k/year), you'll save about 2 gallons of gas per week, or 100+ gallons per year. Plug in the price of gas where you live and it's going to save $400-$500 per year right away, and gas prices will probably continue to rise. The hybrid is also much quicker with 247 lb-ft of torque compared to 179 on the gas models. Hybrids are also much quieter, and lower on emissions... if that's important to you.

Paul your video was informative however i did not appreciate your comment about cyclists. As a Wayne County resident and avid cyclist i was disappointed and offended. One of the joys of living in this area is that we give space to each other. Your comments basically communicated the notion that cyclists don’t belong on the road. Doug

@PaulsPlace 6 ай бұрын

Hey Doug, thanks for commenting and watching. Nice to hear from a local! However, I didn’t make this comment offhanded with no experience. I’m a biker myself (1000+ miles last year on a road bike), I have no issues sharing the road. According to Ohio R.C. 4511.55 no more than two cyclists may ride side by side. If a lane is too narrow to safely travel side by side (which this was), single file rules must be followed. The lane was too narrow to ride side by side safely. Thanks for your input. I care about cyclist safety. I’ve watched two friends die around here on bicycles so I’m pretty passionate about expressing my opinions. We have a wonderful rails to trail system paid for by our tax dollars that is just beautiful to ride on, I’d rather see people riding that then see another person die on a bicycle because they didn’t follow simple cycling laws. The roads are just too dangerous now, too many distracted drivers. As cyclists, we need to be smart about sharing the road. We can’t automatically assume we will be seen, no matter how much safety gear we have on. Cars will always win the battle. We need to be conscious of proper road safety.
