my biggest complaint, and probably my only real one, is the road noise. The interior can be pretty loud, especially on the freeway. I’m fairly confident that most of this comes down to the stock tires, because otherwise the car feels tight and well put together.
I was worried about the ’26 CR-V Sport Hybrid headlights—no fog lights or steering-linked lights like my Subaru—but they’re actually really bright and clear. No regrets!
Nice. 2011 here (also bought new) but I did all four brakes at 68K miles. They had some life left in them according to the shop, but they just started feeling a tad soft, and my brake pedal was getting a little to close to the floor for comfort.
Bosh quietcast never gave me any issue for my HRV.
The first thing he recommended was to change the fuel filter every second service, i.e. every 25k miles, instead of every fourth service as Honda recommends. My car still averages well over 60 mpg every year, and 2025 was the most economical yet, so I consider his advice to be tried and tested.
Had those on a Pilot and loved them!
Last week front passenger brake began making a metal on metal grinding noise. Assumed it was brakes because this vehicle has been a frequent brake pad/rotor-replacee due to the mileage of the car. The brake pads were very low. Drove the car around for about 30mins today and no grinding noise BUT the front passenger was very hot and didn’t smell good.
I just put on some Laufenn G Fit tires in August that I got for quietness but get poor wet weather ratings from *some* reviewers. I tested them in slop and could only activate ABS with a very hard stomp or traction control on a painted line.
The only things it’s done to me is die (dead battery) and a misfire that cause it to go into limp mode at 118k miles (I went cheap on spark plugs instead of doing NGK’s)
I did have to buy a new battery because the OEM was leaking, but other than that, the vehicle has been great.
