"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!"

Great Drive

By elenas (NY) on Tuesday, February 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,650

Pros: "Great Ride"

Cons: "Low Visability"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"This is the first time i have leased a car, I went to honda for the CR-V but I got a fully loaded crosstour for the same price as a base CR-V so I went with it. It drives smooth. My old car was a Plymouth Voyager. My only learning curve is the back window. It is definately a learning curve. There is limited visability, similar to a prius. In bad weather the defroster does not do the entire back window. The cut off is something to get use to. The rear back navigation is a plus and is necessary, however if you have never used this back navigation you will need time to trust it. I have had this car 3 months and I am still afraid to go on a highway because of the limited visability. This is my one and only concern with the car. Otherwise this is truly the best ride I have ever had. Oh also the salesman that sold me the car told me the 2012 model does show the tire pressure so am not sure if these other reviews were older models. I have not reached that stage yet with my car we shall see..."

dream drive!

By mannu (MI) on Monday, February 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 33,000

Pros: "great drive"

Cons: "would do well with a push start"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I would say you gotta drive it and then comment about it. Its a highway sportswagon, built to fly on the road. The road grip, the comfortable height, the steering control and the sound system with a honda engine and the superspacious interior make it my perfect car! only complaint i have is the lack of a side view camera in this car and also if honda could give free upgrades to its navigation system."

Drove BMW & the Honda drives better

By Stretch (TX) on Monday, February 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,600

Pros: "Safety features, performance, reliability"

Cons: "None"

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

"29 MPG first day and has gone up to 34 mpg hwy and consistently 25 mpg in town with V6. I test drove BMW, Audi, Lexus and Acura. This drove better than the rest and the only one that really fit my 6'4" frame. While not sold as a performance car, it really does perform very well. Awsome in traffic. Safety cameras are a great feature. Honda needs to market the Crosstour better, it's a great car."
