2014 Honda CROSSTOUR REVIEW AND TEST DRIVE | Herb Chambers Honda

[@derekgil8894]

I love this car and I don't know why people say it's ugly and it's so good if u like small cars but your to big

[@wynnmunoz4454]

incidious red SAME I'm 5,10 and I struggle to find a sedan that goes past my shoulders in terms of height

[@douglaslippertindy]

I"m adding this comment, late to the party, to help anyone who is considering purchasing a used CrossTour. This is an absolutely amazing vehicle. Either you like the look, or you don't, or you don't care; Frankly, I really like the bubble look of this car. I'd encourge you to stick with the 3.5 Liter V6, J35Y engine. At 70 mph with cruise, I can get 30 mpg but usually I'm about 20 around town and 27 on the highway for mpg. For me AWD is the way to go. I've made a number of mods, mostly cosmetic but one very rewarding mod was replacing the rear sway bar with one from an Acura AWD TLX, which was substantially larger in diameter. This eliminated the understeer I was experiencing. My guess is that if you bought the 4 cylinder, FWD version, which would be lighter, you wouldn't need to do this. And you may not be as fussy about handling as am I. I've always chased handling rather than speed, as this is what makes the car fun to drive on a curvy road using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Many parts are exchanageable with the Accord, many are not. I look at new cars every day and just can't find any car out there that I'd rather have than this one. The primary reason this car failed as a model is that people couldn't get past the look; but if you focus on the utlity and think of it, as Laura has suggesed, as a "jacked up accord with AWD and a hatch" you will not find a better value for utility. One prior car, I had 236,000 on this version of engine and transmisson when I got rid of that car, for other reasons. I had zero issues with either the engine or the transmission, changing oil every $10,000 with Mobil 1 and transmission fluid every 100,000 miles, along with the timing belt (very important with an interference engine). After the current insanity in the used car market dies down, if you can find a 2015 V6 EXL with AWD, think hard about getting it. And, like always, have fun and stay awesome.lp anyone who is considering purchasing a used CrossTour. This is an absolutely amazing vehicle.

[@Raftjumper07]

Thank you, Laura! I have been researching this vehicle for over a year and will be buy a 2014 Crosstour identical to the one you reviewed, minus the navigation. One important point you missed is how quiet this car idles and drives. It is in the league with the Lexus ES 350. And the ride is amazing!

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Raftjumper07 Great feedback RJ07, great programs on Crosstour right now. Not many left, time is of the essense. ;) Thanks for joining in. Honda Laura

[@sungod1976]

Laura - Herb Chambers needs to give you a raise reflective of the value you bring to this channel.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks SunGod, I will pass this along to them. Herb Chambers Honda treats me right, thanks so much for the props. :) HLaura

[@fritzluve]

Turn the music down so we can here you!!!!

[@rrr1009]

The music in this video is freaken loud and annoying

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Spider Al Thanks for the feedback. We'll ask to have it toned down a bit. :)

[@zoltanbabli9032]

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

+jeff gibson Porsche, I like.... :) Honda Laura

[@jeffguyot21]

+Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk lol...thanks. I love it

[@Terrance3159]

You look marvelous in the car Laura! They really did a good redesign on the exterior. I'm leaning toward the new Accord though. What do you think about it? Also btw love the jacket. How many different jackets do you have? Your closet must be HUGE girl lol. Laura be shopping! :)

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks Terrance, the new Accord is awesome, I like the SPORT the most and the Accord EXL V6. Thanks for the compliment the closet is getting bigger as the likes and share of the videos grow lol. Thanks again :) HLaura

[@v1larotate914]

Love the car. i don't why people add music to talk over it...its just dumb i cant hear much of what she's saying as she seemed to be trying to battle the music or the music added after is trying to battle her all in all i muted and watch and it rate it still a good effort. NEXT TIME LOSE THE MUSIC when you have something important to say to the masses.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

larry sean Thanks for the feedback Larry, we will pass the note on to our video editor. Thanks for watching. Honda Laura

[@danielwilliamhawk7046]

larry sean I agree the music almost gave me a headache. drop the volume next time.

[@harrytej]

Love the car. Own an EXL v6 version. Saddened with the news that Honda killed the car for 2016...

[@adanquintero565]

I love your reviews

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks Adam "Blushing" Honda Laura :)

[@ALEX-sh3tx]

I hope Honda makes another crosstour one day

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

I agree; I love that thing! - Laura

[@robertwitt8316]

the music playing is louder than her voice. she's a mouse

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks for the great feedback +Robert Witt

[@melindasikesfair]

Lordy, that music is such a distraction! Great job describing all the features of the Crosstour.

[@07copilot]

I had a 2010 EXL 4wd. Loved it except for the MPG.

[@visinew]

I looking for this car and like your review very natural. Great job!

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

visinew Thanks for sharing, made my day. :)) Honda Laura

[@andrewcavett5691]

Tone down the "music" in the back ground. I could barely hear what she was talking about

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks for the feedback Andrew, we will pass it on to our video crew. Thanks again. :) Honda Laura

[@123zoepop]

I love this car I got mines today and it's wonderful.💁🏻👍🏼✌🏻️😜💯😄🙌

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

+123zoepop Awesome news! Congrats... keep us posted on first impressions. :) Honda Laura

[@123zoepop]

+Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk I will thanks honey!😄👍🏼

[@Рыжийкотик-р6ц]

123zoepop I've got mine just like on the video about 6 months ago and I love it too. The only thing I don't like is acceleration, could be better for 3.5L, but everything else is very good.

[@airplanefoxx291]

nice review! i love the crosstour so much, and i am trying to get my parents to get it so I am researching it as much as I can. I am trying to decide between the Accord Crosstour and the regular one. Have you found any difference between them?

[@VernellAnthony]

hey what did you go with ?

[@estpst]

love the camera work.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks estpst, we will pass the work on to Brian aka Freaky the Scary Snowman.

[@sunshineoverturf4722]

I drive that exact car, and I’ve worn that exact outfit. I should watch more of this girl :)

[@JOHNGLOYSTEIN]

Do you know when the 2015 Crosstours will be available>

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

John Gloystein Not yet John, we will update when we get the news. Thanks for asking. Honda Laura :)

[@mrxyz2k]

For smart entry or handless entry don’t put you Accord remote with mobile in same pocket. As mobile radiation could jam the transmission of the remote.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks for the feedback! - Laura

[@951tony]

If the driver with blinkers on rear ended you, who would be at fault?

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

951tony ??

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

951tony Colonel Mustard and Professor Plum?

[@951tony]

Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk I would like to make an offer of $15,967 for stock #39273.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

951tony Hi Tony; Nice choice Insights are a great value right now. The 2014 LX would sell for $17,907 which represents a $3383 discount. I hope this works for you. Where would we be delivering the car too?

[@diulaylomochohai]

Subscribed. Could you add the base model Crosstour EX to your review? How is the 4 cylinder model?

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

diulaylomochohai We will look into that! Thanks for subscribing. :) Honda Laura

[@aquateen77723]

I want one so bad, but it's outside of my price range. 😔 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on the Crosstour, Laura!!

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

aquateen77723 Thanks for commenting. Maybe a one or two year old? ;)) Honda Laura

[@aquateen77723]

Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk I was thinking about that. Hmmm....I have to check the prices on pre owned 2 year old models. Thanks, Laura. 😉

[@hanikenjewellery718]

Please how much is 2013 modern

[@gracien2008]

I do fancy the CR-v better. Seems to be very rare to see a Crosstour these days. It's not a "Mona Lisa" beautiful car but the package is... now I like them :)

[@madelyngoldberg5974]

Nice review.. certainly peaked my interest. Liked several of the features. Voice was a bit garbled and would prefer no music.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Madelyn Goldberg Thanks for sharing Madelyn, we're grateful for the feedback. Still researching? ;) Honda Laura

[@kgkoolkat16wills63]

what song did you use in the video?

[@TehOcst]

Can we get a review of a more basic Crosstour? I don't have the $$$ for the one you reviewed ;-;

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

TehOcst Thanks for sharing TehOcst. We are currently working on Honda Fest and the 2015 Honda Fit. As more requests come in we will produce what we think will impact the most people. We have put your request in and thanks for keeping in touch. Honda Laura

[@SSMWRX11]

Btw the camera man. You should get more full shot of her. I actually enjoy her fashion as well.

[@HerbChambersHondaofSeekonk]

Thanks Minwoo, we will share with our cameraman. :) HLaura ;)

[@hammerdown3000]

The most annoying music I have ever heard in a car review. I quit after 4 minutes, couldn't take it anymore!
