"I have had my crosstour for 17 months. Great road car; drove it from Florida to Maine. I am 6' 3" and the seats are very comfortable. Seems like a luxury car; i.e. Lexus or Acura. I enjoy everything about it. If I had one wish it would be a power tailgate."

Accomplishes everything I wanted

By Buckeye (OH) on Thursday, January 12, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100

Pros: "Unique Styling; Quality interior; Versatility;"

Cons: "Visibility, but has rear camera/tilting mirrors"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I was convinced I wanted an Acura TL. Then it snowed, so I thought about getting an Acura RDX. Didn't like the body type. Looked at MDX, but too much car since my wife already has Odyssey. Went to Honda dealership to test drive new CR-V. Liked the redesign, but wasn't convinced with the 4 cylinder engine. Walked by the Crosstour on way to test drive and asked about it. My assumption it was simply an Accord hatchback. I was dead wrong. I test drove it and immediately had the car I needed. The interior is very Acura-like with higher quality materials. I love the Bluetooth sync with the Navigation. The drive is very nice and powerful with command seating higher than a sedan, but lower than SUV. The seats go back and the storage is impressive. Being a father of a growing family, I wanted the utility, but also wanted to have a professional looking car to visit clients. The only weakness could be the visibility in the back, but Honda rectified that with tilting side mirrors and rear camera. All and all, I've never been happier with a car purchase."

looks good anywhere

"Ive owned many cars, from the 1k to 60k mark. This to me is the far sexiest car Ive owned. Outside it has that Porsche sedan look to the complexity of the tapering end of a Citroen. Its different and unusual but in a good way. I really see a piece of art. I have people asking me all the time about it. Its a crossover no doubt, part sedan part suv. Albeit the SUV is hidden somewhat. Its higher off the ground and the space inside is hidden by tinted windows. My wife and I are over 6 foot and its easy to get in and out of in the front as well as the back. Steering is crisp. Engine responsive when you need it. Interior rivals Lexus and Acura."

CT shortly after delivery

"I purchased a new 2012 EXL,V-6 AWD w/NAVI in Nov. I traded a 2010 Accord EXL with 80K. I was sold by the ease of entry, the seating and AWD. The ride is superb, both during heavy rain and in snow. The mileage is just as expected, 20 mpg in urban, 26+ hwy. I drive about 30 K miles a year for work and am impressed by the comfort and support of the seats, better than my previous car. I did not purchase the car for the cargo area but carry work related tools--easy to load and unload from hatch area. Cargo area is still impressive. I purchased a cargo cover for privacy. It used to be standard with earlier models. I use the Voice Activated Controls & NAVI system extensively. I also had this in my Accord. I use the NAVI for more than just getting from point A to B. It is full of features and I find it intuitive. I am amazed at how many people comment positively (unsolicited) on the styling. The car is fun to drive."

Awesome car!

By gmansgal1 (LA) on Tuesday, May 15, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,000

Cons: "Back visibility - camera solves that."

"I was in the market for a BMW 3-series or an Infiniti G-37 until I saw this car. When I drove it, I was SOLD. The driving experience is ultra quiet and smooth as glass with tight, responsive handling and surprising power. It sits high off the ground making for excellent visibility. The interior is wide and roomy, the leather soft and luxurious. In fact, the entire interior is beautiful and luxurious. It is on par with much more expensive cars and 10X better than Infinity. Honda spared no expense on the interior appointments. The dash controls are logical and easy to use. The sound system is simply awesome. AC and heat also awesome. Love all of the cargo room and the hatchback which doesn't look like a hatchback. Personally, I love, love, love the exterior design. I think it is by far the best looking crossover on the road. It is modern and sleek and people aren't sure what it is. Is it a crossover or a sedan? It is a head turner for sure. The best part is driving it. Get one - you will not regret it EVER!"
