Try Google, should be able to find performance tests. ---

Here’s a 2014 review of the CR-V from our partner, [BestRide](http://bestride.com/news/2014-honda-cr-v-awd-ex-l). The reviewer noted in his “Dislikes” that there was no up-powered engine offered. ---

Reviewers say that some competitors offer stronger engines and are more fun to drive. However, test drivers say 2014 Honda CR-V’s secure handling, capable available all-wheel drive and adequate acceleration make it a smart choice for families. Note the word “adequate”. I found one source stating 0-60 of 8.8 seconds, to me that is slow. ---

I doubt if we will ever know what the person really wants to know . How fast the vehicle is - long term reliability - fuel usage . Does this person have one or is looking at purchasing a used one . ---

> [@Purebred](#): > > 0-60 of 8.8 seconds, > to me that is slow. Definitely not muscle or racing car specs, but 8.8 seconds is pretty good performance for a 4 door family vehicle. Nothing shoddy about that spec at all. I found a spec for the engine too, 185 HP. Again, pretty good for a family vehicle. ---

Oh, me too, In the 60s that would be quick. But not by today’s standards. The OP specifically stated “performance”. Depending on where you live and driving conditionns this might be more than adequate. ---

For reliability, much better than average according to Consumer Reports survey data.
