[@kendog0013]

best car ive ever purchased - just a little tip though, the 2012 crosstours come with really aggressive cylinder deactivation that causes piston ring burnout and VERY expensive specialized active mounts to dampen said cylinder deactivation (about a $2k in parts alone fix for the mounts) - Id highly recommend picking up a SVCM or VCMTuner II from their googled sites - this little device tricks the thermostat to be 'under full operating temperature by a few degrees' to keep the car in V6 mode at ALL times - Month one of owning one and you WILL notice the lack of power when switching from 3/4 cylinder mode to v6 - Skip it all together and get that little device, itll save your wallet down the line and also give you MUCH more enjoyment out of your crosstour having the full V6 on tap at all times - At most, it takes 5-10 minutes to install and you will no longer get the dreaded 'ECO' light (which means its in 3/4 cylinder mode - BOO) - As for gas mileage, sure, you will lose about 2-3MPG (from what i observed) at most but its not about the gas mileage with these things; it was always meant to be about the drive but EPA had to neuter anything with the words 'V6' in them from the time they were built until now

[@EricFortuneJr.]

Nothing wrong with a timing belt driven engine as long as you service it accordingly and change your oil to minimize friction between your rotating parts. From what I’ve seen, historically timing belt engines run smoother and much quieter than metal chains. The only advantage with chains is that they can last 4x as long though that’s not guaranteed.

[@justjustjoo]

I would take a belt over a chain in a German car every time, since they don't know how to make the chain last. But on Hondas and Toyotas I would rather take the chain, because they know how to do it.

I purchased a crosstour brand new, it was a 2010 with 180,000 miles when it got hit by a truck to only be totaled by the insurance company. The car was made very well, I made sure I always kept up on the maintenance. That car was a soldier in the snow with a good set of tires.

I absolutely love my 2013 Honda Crosstour with a V-6. I bought I with 11,000 miles on it. I drove it a while before I began having a problem with the starter.

It would alway start but it was still annoying. I finally found the fix online and my current mechanic took care of it for a reasonable price. She runs like a dream, comfortable, fast, roomy enough for us to take trips. I’m keeping it, only about 66,000 miles now. My boss got his daughter’s Honda Accord when she bought a new car. It has 200,000 miles on it. I drove it for him to drop it off for a tune up and it drove just like mine.

Bought a brand new 2012 Honda Crosstour 11 years ago and wish I would have bought something else. I had 2 Honda Accords previously and almost no trouble at all. First Accord purchased in 1988 and the second in 2000. When I bought the Crosstour I felt a big vibration or shaking in the car between 21-25 mph. Had it back in the shop about 5 within the first 6 months of my purchase. The car dealership replaced many things on the front end but couldn’t fix the vibration. Had one of their car mechanics drive it with me in the car and he definitely felt the terrible shaking. The dealership couldn’t fix it so they called Honda of America. Honda of America basically said there is nothing wrong with the car. Since I don’t like conflict I just let it go and drive my car with the terrible shaking between 21-25 mph. And now the the car is older it also shakes between 35-40 mph. If you think this is the only Crosstour with this problem and Google it and you will find many other owners with the same problem. The shaking isn’t the only problem I’ve had. I only keep the car because the price of new or used cars is high and retired on a small income.

[@truthtv2652]

I have the same 2010 model year but with the 2 wheel front drive V6 engine version. I consider it a Accord Wagon because of the ground clearance and 18" wheels. The V6 3.5L engine is the same engine for the Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline. The only negative review I have is the bad turning radius and poor rear view visibility because of the sloping rear window. The Eco mode for the VCM V6 engines (Variable Cylinder Management) also is an issue but you can buy after market gadgets that disables that.

The j35z2 was only used in the 08-12 accord, 10-12 crosstour, 13-18 RDX, and the jdm 07-12 inspire. There were other j35s that were used elsewhere but this one wasnt in the odyssey, pilot, or ridgeline

wont be disappointed - honestly, except for the Accord Sport/tours, these really are one of the best vehicles to purchase for a 'fair' price and have a blast on backroads and just general driving in it - Plenty of everything in it from power, to looks (subjective i know), to interior quality - Honda really knocked it out of the park with the Crosstour; its just a shame they had to butcher it with their aggressive cylinder deactivation - Without it, it would be the best bang for buck 'tourer' car hands down

There is nothing wrong with the Crosstour however i get the exterior look may not be for everyone.

Had 118K at the time of purchase and I now have 130K. The previous owner kept it well maintained and I am doing the same. No problems, it drives extremely comfortably, still getting about 33 mpg on average, and I've never gotten stuck in the snow with its 4WD/AWD.

These are the new station wagons. The only thing I've heard of that's bad about the Accord is that the transmissions usually start to wear out between 150,000 and 200,000 miles with the V-6. The ones with the 4 cylinder engines can go 300,000 if you change the fluid regularly.

@@gabevillarreal96 I apologize if wrote belt instead of chain. I think anyone watching this video in context knows I meant belt to chain. As far as opinions, you are correct it is all subjective. To me the point of the V6 over the 4 is to have the best engine. If I wanted good fuel economy I would get the 4. However if you want a V6 and an automatic then all J series engines not in the Odyssey are pretty good.

So, I drive a 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat with a 5.4 engine. I ONLY have 335,000 miles with the original engine, 2nd transmission. No major work on engine, just usual upkeep on the entire truck. Granted it is mostly highway miles (approximately 75%).

[@slopedude3]

Mine has the inline 4 cylinder. 2012 crosstour. It's a gas sipper. I wish I had the awd but I'm glad with the gas prices I have on the smaller engine.

That little A30M can even do most of the bi-directional controls. It's by far the best scan tool FOR THE MONEY.. for what it can do for being that cheap. The reason it's so slow is because it's Bluetooth.. Even the really high dollar scan tools are slower when they are bluetooth.

[@samj1185]

Love my 2013, V6 ,FWD. almost like having an enclosed truck. amazing what you can stuff in the back of that thing. AND it will easily tow 1k pounds.

[@davinp]

That's why the American brands (GM, Ford & Chrysler) stopped making sedans/wagons because they want to make higher profit margin SUV crossovers and the those sedans make less profit

[@thesultan4030]

Crosstour was Honda's equivalent/competitor to the Toyota Venza, both were produced pretty much the same years. Venza sold a lot more- both were good ,reliable cars, but neither sold all that well, possibly due to the high price/ in-house competition. For a little more you could get an Acura ZDX or a Lexus RX 350.

[@XzTS-Roostro]

Hell, one of my mom's brother in-laws got a new Venza years ago to replace their totaled 2001 Oddessy. He and his wife didn't like how it wasn't a comfortable ride, so they traded it for a Sienna instead.

@Jonathan A I mean, we live in OKC, and the road conditions here aren't that great.

@@XzTS-Roostro They were comfortable vehicles once you got rid of the 20" wheels /low profile tires.

[@XzTS-Roostro]

@Jonathan A Hell, I was born in Fairfax County, Virginia; lived there for roughly the first eight years of my life. Also, everyone there drives better than those here in OKC. Everyone here thinks they're better than the other, but everyone here sucks, they don't always signal (and it's not even Asian drivers)!

[@XzTS-Roostro]

@@thesultan4030 true, small low profile isn't really designed for comfort

[@LordDRockMusic]

I got a 2012 Crosstour in 2020. 14K, 35K miles on it. At almost 100k on it now with absolutely no maintenance (not that that says much with such low miles). One thing to know is this has VCM "eco mode." Isn't all a VCM stomper off eBay those eco mode things are awful on your engine. Babying it. Wanna drive it into the ground.

Have a 2005 Accord coupe I wouldn't trade for one of those. It's a great car, no timing belt, and a lot less electronic junk to go wrong as well. These days that's a big deal.

I have a 2010 Crosstour and it has been excellent and I get 26 mpg at 75 mph on freeways. 19 in town😎

[@davea4037]

Personally not a fan of the look of those style cars, but my father owned one for a few years back , very comfortable and reliable vehicle. That model , acura has a similar 1, bmw x6, mercedes has 1 too........look like turtle cars to me. The extra space in the back is functional tho.

I really like mine. Five years of ownership and NO issues. Average 24 mpg

[@skkeddie]

what year is it and how many miles? (: I'm looking into buying one.

[@Johnwilson-dl9nm]

I own a 2011 Crosstour. I love it. However the rear visibility was terrible. I replaced the rear view mirror with a Wolfbox mirror camera. Problem solved.

[@garynewman95]

I had a 2010 & 2012 Crosstour and loved it, but went to an Acura in 2014!

[@louisstennes3]

My wife's '06 Accord drives and rides like new, 170,000 miles. I read that the Crosstour was not that popular was that the visibility to the rear was terrible and with the sloping rear end had less cargo space than the Accord.

[@douglaslippertindy]

Visibility is just fine with the cars.

[@Sadslantyface]

Poor

[@garrettmose9816]

I have the 2014 exl Crosstour, they put cameras on mirrors so when you flick ur turn signal it shows u ur blind spot.

[@renkhachatoorian302]

The main advantage of a manual transmission is that no need to check the fluid level like the useless automatic. And it cost less, too.

[@justjustjoo]

If a manual transmission runs out of lubrication, it will fail just like an automatic. But agreed, if automatics were never designed, no one would even demand for one.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Scotty just as an fyi Honda has an inspection and possible buy back program on the Honda Element in certain parts of Canada. Apparently the right rear frame where it meets the trailing arm and knuckle is prone to rust. They will inspect the vehicle and if it fails inspection they will buy it back. If it passes they will reinforce the frame with a steel plating. Unfortunately that is not the case for US vehicles. I guess the Canadian DOT is more on the ball than their US counterparts. I have been following this story as I have an 04 Element with 211,000 miles. Bought new and still going strong. Like the gent with the Crosstour I am 76 years old and he car will probably outlive me. I have the Blue Devil scanner but it’s not bidirectional. I did reach to them months back regarding updating the scanner to bidirectional but was informed that they had no plans.

I drove one of these for a summer - the only issue I had was the turning radius. I found it made very wide turns.
