Roadfly.com - 2010 Honda Crosstour Review & Road Test

[suckah97]

OH and i miss jesse lang

[suckah97]

this video doesn't do justice on how huge and awkward it really is on person

[harris3693]

this car should have RWD as standard

[DrClaw77]

This car's looks are pretty polarizing. I would have preferred to see a real wagon in the Accord line, but the Crosstour's looks actually remind me of a Rover Vitesse, which was a cool car (despite being built like POO POO). The looks are in line with other Honda models of the day in North America, particularly front the front end. Though, the BMW X6 and Acura's ZDX, to which this car will be compared... are 100% RUBBISH.

[lbryan250]

this car would look so much better if its butt were lower to the ground

[OverlyExcitedNewJack]

Honda is more and more out of touch with reality as time passes. I mean, there's only so much you can pretend. This vehicle is no more spectacular than a Toyota Venza, as necessary as a X5 worthlessly costly. It's a HONDA guys, not a BMW. You know a company makes too much net profit when they need to create poor value vehicles that no one asked for!

[zloben9000]

COST EFFECTIVE

BMW 328i is cheaper costs 33000

and is 50 times cooler

[sexyboi142]

@zloben9000 did you configure maintanence and realiablity in?

[zloben9000]

@sexyboi142 nope mate , we are talking new cars.

[sexyboi142]

@zloben9000 so am i. you do know you have to maintain even new cars, right? and they have to stay realiable.....the honda would win in both of those sections

[karan6]

I went to the dealers today an Id choose the accord over this any day cheaper nicer an just overpriced its not bad at all but I agree for that price you can find better

[Niche79]

Instant fail from Honda, getting typical now sadly:( And holy fuck the price, you can get so much more car for that much and be in the luxery market! I cry for honda, truly!

[akotr3mor]

Jessi Lang is gorgeous! I wish she'd test drive me

[superfootdan]

@akotr3mor it would probably be the worst review ever

[soiceyboy33]

Finally!!!.....a car reviewer who sees this Design fail for the piece of shit it is....they did it with the Element now they've done it again with the Crosstour

[akotr3mor]

@soiceyboy33 and yet sales are good...therefore as the old saying goes OPINIONS are like assholes, everyone has one, and not all of them are worth "listening" to.

[soiceyboy33]

@akotr3mor

Well then u must be the asshole not worth listenin to......who the hell told u sales are good....Honda.com???....Venza'­s still outsell this duckbilled platypus by the boatload......this design fail is basically a Pontiac Aztec part 2...youll see when they stop producing it 5yrs later

[akotr3mor]

@soiceyboy33 first, honda.com does not release sales figures if you know anything about business in general but if you look at any automotive review site when comparing the Crosstour to the Venza the Venza always came out in 2nd which if you don't know your mathematics Crosstour has better reviews. As far as sales figures the only reason the Venza would outsell it right now is because the Crosstour just came out. Do your research otherwise you'll look stupid every time.

[haranghy]

hey girl, either u r small or the honda is f..ing big!

[sexyboi142]

@haranghy its both lol i parked my cavalier next to one an i was like omg...i was slightly intimadated and this car is gorgeous in person. its very smooth looking. nothing bulks out or any random flares as seen in other hondas and it doesnt have bulky head lights like the accord sedan and coupe

[racingchamp101]

@sexyboi142 things was almost as big as my suburban

[sexyboi142]

@racingchamp101 yea its a big car but its flawed...hopefully next year honda will fix some flaws and then we get a refresh in 2012

[surflyer]

Great review Jessi, look forward to seeing you do more. You have the best comments so far on any blog.

[jacoale]

I like how she actually knows what she's talking about and not just reading from a script. Nothing sounds corny or overdone. Good review

[coandcaiv]

i miss the good ol days of honda "keep it simple"....now their center stacks look like blah shit....and the rear visibility is shit as well...COME on honda!!

[akotr3mor]

@coandcaiv maybe it's user error...I've driven this and never had a problem with rear visibility. and half the time all i needed was the three mirrors to park the car

[cebga]

i prefer the guy that looks like seth green's little bro!

[roguetrip99]

this car is actually alot bigger in real life than it looks in pictures

[BklynJayL]

All I see is a cheap, knockoff of the BMW X6! Smh..

[racingchamp101]

@BklynJayL x6 is garbage

[quessbee123]

@racingchamp101 That may be what you think...but, I'll most definitely choose that(BMW X6)over this! Lol..

[akotr3mor]

@quessbee123 that is your perrogative but before you do so why don't you watch the Top Gear review of the X6 and how much garbage they think it is. First, the X6 is about 30-40K MORE than this with less capabilities. It can barely drive in wet weather and does not do well slippery inclines much less snow. Having driven both, I still feel as are all BMW's that the X6 is highly over-rated and over-priced

[hn1204]

for 30k, i wouldnt buy it. accords seems like they are overpriced... maybe for 25k that sounds more reasonable for the base model

[xxnissansilviaxx]

to expensive get a infiniti or sumthin idk just not think i like the acura adx better than this and that kinda weir dlookin too...o btw SHES HOT AHAH

[xxnissansilviaxx]

ugly as shit damn honda why!

[maybenz]

what a hideous car

[Konig1985]

who cares about her review? just look at her FACE!

[allstarhs]

I disagree Jessi, Its not a strong contender in anything

[jessilang2008]

@allstarhs

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but from a utility standpoint, some people really like it. It's all-wheel-drive, roomy inside, able to handle icy roads-- it offers a happy medium for people who want more storage and functionality, but don't want to drive an SUV or a minivan.

(Personally, it's not my style; but it's someone's ;-)

[allstarhs]

^Because theres certainly a shortage of Crossovers like that these days, rite?:p

[jessilang2008]

Hahaha -- touché  ;-)

[NotSStock]

That thing is an abomination and needs to be destroyed.

You've got charisma and a beautiful speaking voice. If you do try and inject humor into your reviews please make sure it's your own and not forced. Nothing worse than a presenter who's trying to be a stand up comic and failing. You're beautiful, intelligent, and likable you'll do well.

[rajithaify]

ugly

[jessilang2008]

@NotSStock

Hahahaha -- an abomination! C'mon, it's not *that* bad ;-)

Honestly, it looks better in person. And it's a Honda -- let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater ;-)

Thanks for the feedback and your kind words. Rest assured, I'll never present anything disingenuous. I'm not an actress and will never fake a thing :-)

[bg1379]

This was a fantastic video. . . for consumers.

I'd have to imagine that the vast, vast majority of people watching this channel are enthusiasts, so if I were running Roadfly, I'd try to incorporate more 'enthusiast' things, like 0-60 times, and, rather than focusing on stuff like side airbags (which we know are a given) I'd focus on things like the quibbles of the car- that's what gives the video the uniqueness that brings me from liking the video to wanting to watch it over and over.

[jessilang2008]

bg1379-- Point taken and I agree. I'll approach my next video differently and will give you the personal insight you're looking for. Thanks for watching :)

-Jessi

[dryan2]

dammit, someone at roadfly please tell her to stop talking like shes just reading from a script, it completeley takes away from the review.

[roadflytv]

She isn't reading from a script. She's a very eloquent speaker with an incredible vocabulary; it's just the way she speaks. She's an english professor.

-Charlie

[AWDComparisons]

@roadflytv

Here is the problem Charlie. When she does reviews, she shows no emotions. It is just too boring and it does sound like she is reading from a script, even though she isn't. I like your reviews because you show some sort of emotion. That is the difference between a review that grabs attention and one that does not. She has potential. Tell her to relax and show more feeling. We don't care about all the facts and figures, we can read about those anywhere. We want honest insight.

[jessilang2008]

AWDComparisons -- I completely agree with you. I've been holding back in my first few reviews and I should be doing the opposite. Constant improvement is among my goals and the next video will be better than the last.  I hope you'll keep watching.

-Jessi

[AWDComparisons]

@jessilang2008

I'll keep watching for sure, keep up the good work. Do the review more from an entertainment perspective, not so much from a educational Consumer Reports type perspective. It will come naturally to you soon enough.

[rahulgosh1]

@roadflytv - he did not mean tht she does speak well ... he meant tht she speaks w/o much expression ... meaning it seems like she is just dragging along ... plz tke criticism in a positive light ... tc

[sasserdave]

thats have a Review on her

[JediFarce]

Jessi Lang is tiny but very cute. :]

...oh the car...don't really have any opinion on it.

[oldschool1]

A Honda Aztec indeed. Honda designers dropped the ball on this one. Wait for the upcoming Acura TSX Tourer (wagon), looks a lot better than this ugly car and fulfills the same needs.

[treihing]

if you look at a Black Crosstour with a Black tint, its sweet. Everyone is used to Honda looking bland. I think this car is sweeeet

[eskimochild87]

now acura has one...its jus as ugly as this

[eskimochild87]

this honda is pretty ugly

[nismo007]

Man honda lost its game, in the 90's to early 00's honda was the 'power of dreams' NSX type r s2000, prelude type s, integra type r, civic type r, accord type r, crx si, now they only got the civic si left, and now making this? thank god nissan still makes sports cars, honda do use a favour, stop copying toyota and bmw, with hybrids and shocking cars like this, and make some nice coupes, not the cr-z, like a new integra, 1050kg k20a 225hp, CMON!!

[sordow]

this car is Disgussting

[mlacayoa]

ugly

[shaggyusm26]

To me, and this is just my opinion, this car looks like the result of a Porsche Panamera raping a Honda insight. I've seen this car in person, and man, this thing is HIDEOUS! It's basically competing with the quasi-crossover Toyota Venza which looks great in my opinion. WHO APPROVES DESIGNS LIKE THE CROSSTOUR??? Did they hire the guy who designed the Pontiac Aztec???

[GhostofRazors]

This girl knows her cars! Marry me!

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

i dont think its ugly! its just masculine as hell.....that all!

[bg1379]

@Make

Its a masculine ACCORD WAGON! That is an oxymoron! It should be suave and fluid.

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

@bg1379....suave and fluid sounds more feminine to me if you ask me!.....its not a sports car so what are you talking about! your reply was not necessary!

[brittonray]

ok im not even going to try to like this car. I wouldnt be caught dead in that thing..... its fuglunimous

[coandcaiv]

ugly or not any one of you here would be DAMN thankful...to own this car....whether u think so or not

[cold02rex]

This is the ugliest most trend happy mislead appliance Honda has made to date. Honda Aztec? Makes the Accord coupe seem like a sports car. Maybe that was part of the plan.

[FILMEfilm]

your right

[geedunk13]

its ik

[RnB123100]

its not that ugly,its ok 2 me

[flaconyc1]

Fucking ugly!

[ricworks]

this one looks very modern with agressive styling than 2010 cadillac dts landau (hearse for carrying d**d people)

[anto709]

hideous looking car

[enemay]

This car offers great versatility, I mean some people just do not like the bulky heavy feel of SUV's, even the CRV as car like as it is its still a an SUV and you will feel it as you drive around twistees. I know this car is huge but it doesnt have that tank feeling like driving a van or an SUV.

[ricepaddy69]

Is it me, or is no one buying into the Crosstour's slogan, "It fits without fitting in"?

[kitkat123474]

its still shit. seen one at the honda dealership i work at. "shit" was the first word that came to mind.

[GTGTRR]

this thing is absolute rubbish, rubbish!!

it lacks art, proportion and it has random shapes and textures added to the front.

damn bro WTF

[coandcaiv]

the same can be said of the bmw X-6....there isnt a want or need for these 2 car's in the market right now or probably never....."scratches head"

[marlles9]

i think it looks good

[quatlen]

It reminds me of one of those poisonous insects you'd find in the amazon, it already looks dated too.

[porsche558]

The only good looking thing in this video is Jesse Lang. I enjoy her reviews...she's very professional

[chosans]

This car is so ugly, the front doesn't really bother me that much, but the back is just hideous.

[bigretardhalo]

I agree on the ugly... who ever thought this was a better idea than a straight up station wagon.... some people need to get over thier own egos and just buy a station wagon if they need one instead of forcing designers to gamble on all these ugly well what would you call them they are half way between a sedan and a full crossover and uglier than either. Why didn't they just make something like a Murano or an Outback if they wanted to slot something in between the Accord and Pilot.

[utubeyaw]

I THINK THEY ALREADY HAVE THE HONDA CRV between the accord and the pilot

[TechWithLukasz]

@utubeyaw this is between the accord and CRV it doesnt matter tho in pictures and real life its ugly and the cargo is just ok

[bigretardhalo]

What I meant by slot in between was price, performance and fuel mileage, an upgrade vehicle. Not just cargo volume. I do not think someone coming out of a loaded V6 leather Accord would consider a fully loaded CRV an upgrade. A fully loaded Pilot is but the MPG's stink compared to the Accord this vehicle gives a cargo and price upgrade from the Accord without the MPG penalty of the Pilot or the "soccer mom" stigma of the Odyssey minivan.

[Chernobylxsurvivorx]

ugly piece of jap crap

[nnguyen1990]

@ Chernobylxsurvivorx

this car in particular was designed by americans...

[Chernobylxsurvivorx]

@nnguyen1990 even if it was.. its still terrible and its a honda.

[bg1379]

While there isn't any logic behind the term "Jap Crap", I'd agree that this looks like a POS

[poplockkorea]

is she just short or is this a higher car?

[nismo007]

Nice review, this girl knows what shes talking about 5 stars!

[jstnhnh]

She has a nice husky voice.
