I’m 31,000 miles into my 2023. Injectors went bad. There’s the power steering recall and the high pressure fuel pump recall. Other than that the car has been no issues. I did have a very squeaky drivers seat but they rebuilt the whole thing. Still really enjoy how it drives and goes about its business. Friends still comment how comfortable it is. Drove from Jersey to South Carolina for Christmas was one of the nicest drives the CRV is a great cruiser. I don’t have quite the confidence I had in my 93 accord. That made it 364,000 miles and is still my favorite car just because of the reliability. I don’t think any cars are able to last as long simply because the parts that Honda and even Toyota don’t make themselves, they have to rely on manufacturers who all seem to truly suck. Reliability is going to be an issue no matter who you choose. I’d buy my car again tho. I like it that much.

 

If your "long and grueling commute" is mostly low speed stop and go type, the hybrid would be a good choice. High speed longer distance the non-hybrid might be the better choice. I love our Touring for the type of driving we do.

 

Just me but no.

 

Care to explain or am I supposed to read your mind through the internet?

 

The 26 should be the refresh...it's known there's to be a Trailsport model, but other than that not known yet.

 

If you have a long highway commute you're better off buying the 1.5t. The hybrid is only beneficial with city driving and you be throwing away several thousands of dollars just to buy the hybrid.

 

I have a 2025 and had 0 issues and 0 recalls. My CRV missed the high pressure fuel pump recall by 1 month. I would say it's matured enough. Also, i would buy one now before the 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods. Some CRV's are made in Canada(The best ones).

 

Just bought a 2025

 

Early '23 Sport bought in mid April of that year. I too have the recalls and am waiting on the dealer to get the parts, but I have no issues. It's been stellar so far. As was mentioned, It's a great cruiser on the highway and really peppy (due to the electric traction motor) in the city. I love it and would definetly buy again.

 

Is this “safe”, is that “safe”? Nothing is 100% safe. To quote Punch “You pays your money and you takes your chances.”

You never responded to the key issue of what type of driving you do.
Sans that, any worthwhile feedback would just be a SWAG. It does not matter if the Gen 6 meets your safe standards or not if the hybrid is the wrong option for you.

It appears that you have been contemplating this change of vehicle for years. That is a substantial amount of research time.

If you end up with a CRV you can complete your profile and folks will welcome you to the club.

Time to push that launch button.

 

Thank you. Shows steering and fuel for both 24 and 25.

 

You should call your dealer. They may have done the fuel pump before they pushed it out the door.
