Mine is an EX-L so I have leather but I bought a ā17 with 12K miles so I could get the leather. Steering wheel is also leather-wrapped. No navigation isnāt an issue with Car Play. My husbandās is an ā18 EX. Donāt mind the cloth seats, but Iād add leather on the doors & arm rest if you get an EX...
Very happy with my CR-V! Saw in Car & Driver that the Honda brand was tops in fuel efficiency. Still averaging between 31-34 MPGs. Have you driven one yet, Nismo14?
Funny, I like the beige in both of our CRVs
(Prefer it to the black interior my hatch had). They do have the black dash and accents, but with the EX, I can see being concerned about keeping it clean.
The Sandstorm Metallic is even nicer looking in personāthe metallic flecks really shine. Like the Sonic Grey Pearl, it looks matte in pics, but shines in person. Love it!
Was happy to learn my insurance went down with the CRV vs. Hatch. I guess because Honda Sensing wasnāt available in the Hatch when I got it (it was a few months after I got mine before the sensing models were produced) and itās standard in the CRV.
Looks great! I ordered the chrome fog light brows for mine but thatās all so far. My husband added the piece on the back under the window, under the fog lights and back side trim pieces.
My Civic averaged 37 mpgs. Iām getting 34 in the CRV. I missed an SUV and love the features on the CRV and the looksāwasnāt a fan of the previous modelās back end.
Iāve had a 2006 Civic, Accords, an Acura, and a 2007 CRV. All have been terrific vehicles.
The 1.5 is fine, vehicle is just heavier. My husband had an HRV and traded for an 18 CRV EX because the HRV is underpowered. I loved it so got my own, but a used 17 EXL w/ 12k.
Traded my ā17 EX-L Hatch in Aegean Blue for a CRV EX-L in Molten Lava Pearl. Loved the HB but also love everything about the new CRVs.
This is the best car forum around, & Iāll probably still check out the posts & garages occasionally. āļøā¤ļø Best wishes to all
Just saw that the HRV refresh has Sport & Touring trims. And a volume knob. Front face changes, CarPlay, and Sensing. No manual option. Doesnāt look like any engine change, though. Disappointing.
