Best Honda CRV video ever! You are very detailed and literally left nothing for potential buyers to look for. Thank you for your great work!!

[@clhart8405]

Just bought an EX last week. I'm really glad to find your videos since there is so much to learn!!!

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Thanks for watching! And Congrats on your Honda!

Love your energy in all your videos, you’re the perfect sales man for Honda 👍

[@JustinFullerReviews]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@JamesG1126]

Upgraded from 19 HRV EX to 2021 CRV EX. Still have a lot to learn. One thing I miss is the right side camera when turning right. Eliminated from the CRV. That was very helpful to detect anyone in the blind spot. I guess there is a blind spot detector now which is just some yellow lights on the right side mirror. Actually seeing the full view was much better.

[@eulie717]

The blind spot detector is in the Sport trim and above. EX only has it on mirrors.

[@barbz_zayne]

@@eulie717 That’s a lie. There is no Sport trim for the CR-V. And the camera on the mirror is on the HR-V EX and above.

The idle start-stop in the 2021 you only have to turn it off one time.. it will not reset.. it will stay permanent until you turn it back on..

[@grantbrown8312]

Does it apply to the 2021 Accord? Once I turn the car off. It comes back on once started again.

[@mikedauth4153]

@@grantbrown8312 I don't know but here's what I did. Press the brake started the engine and turned it off.. it never came back on.. before that I would turn it off after I drove a little bit and it always came back on.

[@cherylvoutour2021]

I have this model and have to turn the idle start/stop off every time. It was even something the dealer mentioned before I drove off.

[@clhart8405]

@@cherylvoutour2021 , yes. I just got an EX last week, and it resets to "on" every time I start the car. It's a bit annoying. I get caught in traffic a lot, and I don't like the idea of my car dying then restarting every time I stop.

Regarding the USB drive for music, you can put all your music in subfolders. I've got 64gb of music arranged by artist and albums in subfolders and it works fine. You can use music search to find whatever you want. It's been that way since our 2016 Civic EX and it's the same with our 2021 CRV Touring.

[@privated3887]

Hi Justin...I really appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge and input. Quite thoughtful to talk about so much like entering and exiting the vehicle. I always check for this on numerous vehicles while visiting the auto shows. Talking fast is perfect for me as I'm from a big city where we all talk fast and our brains keep up no problem.. Your fast talking words are clear, consise and nicely understood. When we talk fast we're cramming more in less time just like studying for a test and saving time. Pause and rewind are available so talk as fast as you like and you'll probably get even faster. Very thoughtful heads up before posting the pop ups to give ample time to pause. I'd like more info in future videos to include warranty comparison pop ups, colors, rims and other options including manufacturers warranty info and purchasing extended manufacturers warranties and when and why you would or wouldn't necessarily go for certain options. Include tips on how to get the options included on particular models or ways to find them. Who has the better rust proofing and warranty. Comparison of exhaust warranty and who has disc breaks all around etc ...you get the idea...info wars lol All in all great clip very informative and your love of Honda shines through. Shaing this with family as your enthusiasm is catchy and got me hooked. Looking forward to seeing more of you enjoyable videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@JustinFullerReviews]

thanks for the feedback! Warranty information is not something I've thought to add. And I think it would be helpful for a lot of people. I'll see what I can do as we move forward 😁👍🏼

[@haysemalcolm142]

Excellent video. Can you also explain the dash top grill on the CRV 2021. Looks like a centre speaker but I believe it's for climate control and light sensing.

[@nofyfb123]

My 2000 CRV had two issues before it hit 37,000 mi (in 2003). The first one - after stealer's ass was kicked - was fixed under warranty but the second - MAJOR - problem with the trans (stick made in JAPAN!!!) started making noise @36,200 miles - was denied. And not only by the stealer which was expected but by honda itself. The message was "tough shit!". Next day I was driving a 4Runner that I still have and love dearly. Never again will I come close to honda.

[@gangaadhikari6389]

Hi Justin,Honda company missed the trim label badges on every single car to upgrade. If Honda company add the trim label badges on it will be easier to know the customer.

nice video but your title doesn't match the content. You haven't discussed what's new in the 2021 model. You just discussed the regular features.

[@vegitto02]

Thanks so much Justin for these video reviews. I enjoyed this one, as well as the ones you posted for the 2021 Civic LX and 2021 Accord LX. One question I had -- in the Accord LX, I like how the infotainment screen is more at eye-level, so you don't have to move your eyes off the road much when looking at the screen. However, in a 2021 CR-V EX or EX-L (the car I have been leaning towards), the screen seems to be placed a bit lower, which means your eyes have to move down more away from the road in order to look at it. Do you know if Honda will change this in 2022 CR-V such that the screen is more at eye-level? Many thanks again.

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Not too sure on this one. With a body style change on the horizon it is possible though...

[@vegitto02]

Subaru Forester comes with a new Superview Around Recognition (SAR), a 360° around-view monitor system, which enables the driver to park and navigate tight spots with additional safety. The SAR system adds three additional cameras and couples them together to create a bird's eye view. Mar 20, 2020. ----- I Honda doesn't add it soon they will be left behind !

The last redesign was in 2017 and they typically go 5 years before a body style change.. so possibly but this not based on fact just looking at their past moves...

[@kristystacy1300]

How do I make my driver’s seat slide all the way back when I turn it off and open the door to get out. I just bought a 2021 Honda CR-V hybrid Touring model. The dealer said the seat would do this. I have already set my seat preference with key #1.

[@JustinFullerReviews]

The memory seating will adjust when the car is turned on or you hit the memory button ( seat 1 or seat 2). I would imagine it would back up when the vehicle is turned off. I would have to check on this...

[@haysemalcolm142]

I suggest you set the 2nd seat position to all the way back and you use this to get in or out by simply selecting 2 on the panel. Once in select position 1 to drive
