Does anyone like the honda crosstour

The access to the rear hatch is waist high The V6 is very quick and responsive. The transmission shifts smoothly. The EX-L is loaded with amenities. Handling is adequate. Cons: I find the Crosstour to be too much like a Honda sedan! Is that a bad thing? The rear view is not for the average Mommy. It is a fine highway cruiser, but the city environment transmits a bit much through the wishbone suspension. Closing: The Crosstour gets a bad rap for being real. Come on I mean when do you need over 51 Cubic Feet of cargo space every time you get behind the wheel?

If you have more than three kids, you would need an SUV anyway. I read several of the reviews before considering this vehicle, I didnt even know it existed until I shopped around. I am coming from a Pilot where we drove the wheels off of it and went on many adventures. I noted that people either loved or hated this car. I think this is a car many people will have missed and once its out of production people will look back and appreciate it for what it is.

Fortunately, it is not a high demand vehicle so I was able to get a great deal to move the inventory from the dealer. We are an active family who does road trips and plenty of cycling.

The small SUVs were suggested but at the end of the day I didnt like the style or set up of feeling like I was driving a little box or a Pilot that was shrunk. I really liked the idea of a wagon or hatchback to load our gear and go. This vehicle drives well and I dont feel like Im missing out on anything that we like to do. The up side is better gas milage and a more comfortable ride. Plenty of room in the front as well as for the back seat passengers.

The roof line may be a bit low for tall people back there. Enough cargo for what we do and the hidden compartments are nice. I opted for the roof rack for bikes, which can be noisy with the roof open but close the sliding roof liner and the interior is very quite, especially compared to the Pilot or the Tacoma I drove.

Only two things that I do care for is fist the audio sound. The speakers are weak and dont have a great sound quality. Second, to get a 2" receiver hitch to carry additional bikes or cargo is near impossible.

I know you cant tow with this vehicle but Its a miss for a cross over vehicle not to allow these for people who carry bikes or already have a rack. Fortunately, I found a manufacture that can do a 2" receiver for this car that I may try. Finally, the rear visibility takes some getting use to because it is split, but its not too bad.

All in all Im very pleased with this vehicle. The Honda Crosstour is quite different from the Accord and still based on the previous Accord model. That means the dash, seats, etc are from the older model.

Not a big issue but one thing is just plain ridiculous for a car of this statue and price and that is the fact that there is no outside temp on the EX. Even my daughters PT cruiser has that. Perhaps not a big deal for some, but if I had known when test driving the car I would probably not have purchased it.

Most frustrating thing about this car is the power or better lack of power. It accelerates like a turtle. It only starts increasing speed at higher revs. It is at times actually dangerous when changing lanes for example when quick acceleration is demanded. It simply does not happen. It does not change gears fast enough depending on speed of the car Of course the car drives easily at higher speeds, no problem there, except getting there takes longer than you would expect.

The car does provide a comfortable interior with ample space and it is nice that you have a 5th door It combines the appearance and versatility of a wagon or hatchback without looking like an SUV. The Crosstour has a roomy interior with a wider cabin than the Accord, and benefits from the added versatility of the rear hatch - but visibility is compromised. Thankfully a rear camera became standard with the update, which also simplified the model lineup.

The smooth and refined 3. A four-cylinder engine is standard on front-wheel-drive versions. The ride is supple and composed, but the handling becomes SUV-like as it approaches its limits.

Smart SUV Alternatives. Finding your dream SUV can be tough now, but there are other vehicles that may deliver the functionality you need.

While its six inches of ground clearance is decidedly un-SUV-like, especially vs. Speaking of which, the Crosstour does even that sort of dance with reasonable alacrity; you can muscle around double-parked cars and mash the gas to dart into an opening in traffic and response from the hp V-6 is decently muscular. Incidentally, that motor has a cylinder deactivation system to save fuel, and during cruising can run on four or three cylinders.

The Crosstour is just agile enough, but no sports sedan. There is a bit of the Teuton in this car though, in the interior, where function is king.

The front seats are firm but totally comfortable; the nav system continues to be one of the best in the business, recalculating when the driver zigs instead of zags without delay; and iPod integration is likewise excellent, mirroring the menu organization of the Apple device so it's more intuitive to the owner of said player. Would that Honda had also carried some of this form-following-function logic to the tail of the Crosstour, where the aft view is decidedly poor big C pillars are the issue.

We see the ZDX from the front very briefly, then from the side. Somehow, the woman is floored. Then again from behind the wheel the ZDX is fairly glorious. This is a dramatically rendered space, with curves and arcs and intersections of metal and softer fabrics -- Frank Gehry would approve. And with the ZDX that question continues to crop up regardless of what you think of the styling.

Now recall that the ZDX is based on the MDX, which offers nearly 30 cubic feet more cargo room than the ZDX and seats seven, and you just have to scratch your head in wonder. On the plus side, again because like the Crosstour this is a long hatchback, you can make use of that length and carry home eight-foot pieces of lumber see photo. The ZDX is styled as if it were a tall sports sedan.
