Honda Accord Crosstour Review from Consumer Reports

[greigorypparker]

You are creepy!!!!!!!!!

[MrStarman1978]

I drive an '08 accord, and frankly speaking, I really don't like the looks of the cross tour. Don't get me wrong I love my accord. over the last few months I have been looking for a crossover vehicle because I need the AWD capability (having to live in Canada) but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for gas. So I found myself inside a toyota dealership the other night (just to find out they are having a factory clearout event) and got myself a Venza. Haha!

@MrStarman1978 I think Outback, Venza, or even Flex (much bigger) are better cars. But you got to give Honda a credit for trying.

[ColdNapalm42]

@mercedescl No we really don't. I would have given honda credit if they did the right thing and killed this monstrosity and gave us a proper accord wagon instead of making us pay the TSX wagon prices for an accord wagon. A proper accord wagon and I can almost forgive the 2012 civic and Si.

Actually, I checked out Honda's site, and the EX-L version on the website has the back-up camera without the need of the Navi systerm as of the '12 model.

[KnightKing2000]

Only SH-AWD is missing in this vehicle.

[WingedUnicornOne]

I LOVE this car! It is 10X more beautiful in person. It doesnt look like a wagon or all of those ugly crossovers you see out there on the road all of the time. It is so quiet and feels like you are driving on glass.  The fit and finish in the interior is luxurious, gorgeous rich leather, and the controls are simple to use. Not to mention Honda is known for its safety features. It simply has everything!

poor mans panamera

[skittleschocolate]

i thought it was ugly but it grew on me. big time. its actually very attractive. i wish the suspension were a little higher though because it has a bold stance

[JimmyZee1000]

It is great, i traded a 06 eclipse gt stage 1. Off the line not as good as a sports car. I paid 11k for this car had 5 k and a demo. It is reliable fast, fuel efficient for the size and will never get dinged up.On the hwy it has the punch of all six cylinder sports cars and can go offroad. It is bulky when it comes to handling, but I know when I turn the key everything will always work..Im getting 23/31mpg which is real good, car has 7k miles now. I accelerate briskly but no punching

[bsp1148]

20 mpg is rather disappointing when you consider the sophistication of Accord's V6. You are paying for the technology but you actually get not much out of it. Other than its high price, it is a very likable car to drive.

[F3RSCF1908]

@bsp1148 so what who cares about fuel consumption ? the technology and duability offer no orther manufacture can guarantee that ! way to go to ban all the european marked cars out of the usa !

[dagrome]

I think many people misunderstand the point of this car. Its supposed to act as an alternative to hatchbacks and SUVs. Offering 4wd (a quality usually only seen in hatchbacks and suvs, but not unheard of in sedans) and a huge comfy, almost luxurious interior. This car is just meant to be another practical choice for those who can afford it.

[etoyotarockshsucks]

ugly

[nochones]

I love it! And I have driven this car up a mountain road and it handled like a champ!

[Vanrocco66]

For this money, I'll just buy a Ridgeline. This CAR is nice but WAY over priced!

[hehh543]

@Vanrocco66 You can get a loaded ridgeline for the same price, or even cheaper!

[hondaboii89]

I want one...just can't afford it. It would have been nice if they would offer one in an LX trim, so it could start around $25K.

[jimpug78]

Nice looking car. Not great viewing through back windshield. Ive had 3 Honda's over the years. Searching for that newcomer Honda that would make me buy one. But nothing excites me yet. Crosstour seems pricey, might as well upgrade to an Acura version and get more standard options.

[motormusique]

I think it looks cool, and I applaud Honda for pushing the styling envelope harder than any competitive brands.

[JPCJedi]

Or look at the CTS wagon for that matter. Maybe that one isn't as good-looking as its sedan, but it's still a stylish wagon.

These Crosstours look better in person, you know. The slope of the hatch makes them look small & swift.

@plagick

Uh, what crossover SUV uses a v10 or v8 these days? The Rav4 and CR-V use V6s.

The problem is the Crosstour and the Venza are upwards of $30K, while the "Type II diabetic" Rav4 and CR-V crossover SUVs are only $25K, but use the same V6 engines.

[jhudso15]

@JPCJedi The Honda CR-V only comes with a 4 cylinder engine.

i dun like this car shape.. but i wanna see some of the crosstour features in the honda accord sedan.. the rear view camara and awd

[joesingle]

I'm a big Honda fan but I hate the outside look of this car! The inside is great, but the outside?! What were they thinking?! I rather get the Accord Coupe EX-L instead.

[blurglide]

That front overhang is ginormous. This would be a lot more practical if they just made a wagon, but then they'd be butting heads with Subaru. They should make an entry-level version, too. It aught to start in the low 20's.

BTW- wagons don't have to be dorky.  Look at the Audi A4 Avant. While the swoopy design sacrifices some of the wagon utility, the outcome is a car that looks even better than the sedan! Same can be said for the BMW 5-series.

[plagick]

I am glad that there is an alternative to the Type II diabetic SUV's

You know you are what you drive on the road. Do you really want people thinking that you need a V10 or V8 to haul your fat ass family around. hopefully more cars like this will make people realize that their cars encourage them to be FAT ass pig dogs.

[quatlen]

it is disgusting!

[crammage]

my 92 subaru wagon is better than this!
