"We bought an EX-L (v6) AWD Crosstour, at Winter Haven, FL Honda back in 2010. Great car and great dealership. Our other car is a Lexus E350 and my wife and I are constantly calling "dibs" on getting to drive the Crosstour. Although the Lexus 350 is superior in fit and finish, the Crosstour drive experience, comfort, quality of the sound system, clarity of Bluetooth phone mic, utility, and just about everything else about it are excellent. Plus with a 5 year old and a baby this car cleans up easier. When you buy yours, I suggest doing as we did by not going with the Navigation system and instead have a rearview mirror monitor with back-up camera installed. Then, add the back-up sensors to the rear bumper. You'll save a few bucks and find it's exactly what you needed. (However, you have to go with either the navigation camera or mirror camera as I can't imagine trying to back this car up into any space with out one or the other since rearview visibility is limited for backing. My two wish list features for Honda would be A/C Ventilated front seats like in the Lexus (we live in Florida) and Blind Spot Warning like in Infiniti (just makes good safety sense)."

"I have an V6 exl/w nav. Love getting in it for my drive home every night.(40 mi.) Voice activation doesn't always respond properly to commands. That's why we call her Phoebe. Traded a Murano for her and don't regert it. The Murano was a great car also. Averaging 24.5 mpg. Could use a sixspeed transmission . The V6 responds well ,but performance could be improve with a better tranny."

"Honda always provides a quality vehicle, and locally good service, which is not required much. We switched from Toyota and have bought 4 Hondas in the last 5 years. Going to buy the 6th in a few months. Best Hondas are the CRV and Ridgeline truck."

"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."

"I love this car since the first time I saw it on a road trip a few years ago - "What is THAT?" I asked my husband. We couldn't figure it out until we got close up and noticed it said Honda Accord Crosstour. I later learned that "Accord" was dropped but just the same, being a Honda got my attention. In December, I was having major problems with my Jeep, which I had for 9 years and needed something similar. I was also having difficulty getting up to the high seat in the Jeep but waanted to stick an SUV but nothing was catching my attention. Finally, we went to see the CRVs since we had a Honda Accord before for 12 years. Walking through the showroom, we saw a beautiful red Crosstour with a reduced price tag. I got in and instantly loved it. I test drove the leather trimmed V-6 model and did NOT want to get out. My husband was sold as well. The next day, we purchased it and I love it more (as I get familiar with all the buttons) each time I drive. I used to hate driving to work in Washington DC every day but since I've been driving the Crosstour - I don't even notice the traffic - love listening to satellite radio, answering the phone with handsfree link, and thanks to the back up camera, I have less hassle getting into the parking space. I initially had a problem with the blind spots but someone suggested watching a Youtube video on how to set your side mirrors and I've not had any difficulties since then. Love, love this car. I just wished I could have afforded the navi system, but then I probably would have ended NEVER getting out!"
