Just got back from the local Honda dealer here in Daytona. Took a white 2WD EX-L Crosstour for a spin.

The car looked to be much better proportioned in person than in photos. Also it is bigger than the sedan and is outfitted with headlights similar to the coup (without the bulge)

Was a delight to drive (typical of honda products). The interior gets bragging rights. Off white and comfortable beyond expectations.

Lacking in MHO 1. outside mirrors with signal lights, 2. Back up sensors and 3. information center should have an easier assess point.

so are you buying one?

Hitch

I will ned to have a hitch installed....I will look into that. As well I have to make sure the instruments and gear will fit.

If all of that works out then color and nav decissions will be made and an order placed.

 

[voiceover]

what color are you going for bro?

 

[Administrator]

bernie, have you compared this ride with other CUVs in the same class?

 

[berniemason]

COLOR etc.

I think white is my color choice.
I have driven the CRV, OUTBACK, VENZA and the EQUINOX. The CROSSTOUR was the most fun to drive, however it has the least storage. The OUTBACK was solid however they seem to be having front end/tire shake problems. Also, one must take a CVT transmission with the 4 cylinder engine. The EQUINOX I believe to be a tad risky at this point as it has not been tested long enough and neither has GM. The VENZA would be a good choice but not very exciting.

Cheers
Bernie

I've seen many venza's on the road these days... maybe I'm just paying too much attention to them.

 

[rayden]

White is an awesome color. I would definitely get white too.

I love the new Equinox. I would compare that with the CT. I know it's different class and all but the new Equinox has received rave reviews.

 

[Biggdan]

The inside of the Equinox looks to much plastic to me than my CT.And the monthly payments were about hte same here in Canada.

 

[CT Lover]

Careful, if you need to tow anything substantial, this is not the vehicle for you.

Had mine about 2 weeks

Bought mine the last weekend of Jan..since then Virginia has had 2 record blizzards..but the CT has been great..the most comfortable car I have ever owned!! and it carry's the drum kit around on weekends no problem..and first trip to PA last weekend got over 26 mpg on the highway...my only complaint so far is that there is no hatch release from the front and not on the key..that would be my only suggestion for a change
