Is the Honda Crosstour a good used car?

Yes — the Honda Crosstour can be a smart used buy if you want Accord reliability with a quieter, slightly more SUV-like body.

Why it’s good

• Shares a lot with the Accord, so parts are common and upkeep is usually reasonable.
• The V6 models are strong and smooth.
• Available AWD and extra ride height make it better in snow and rough roads than a sedan.
• It tends to be cheaper than more popular used SUVs because the styling scared buyers off.

Main downsides

• Rear visibility is poor, and the sloping hatch hurts cargo space for tall items.
• The 3.5L V6 can have oil-use issues over time because of Honda’s cylinder-deactivation system.
• Cabin tech is dated, especially if you want modern phone integration.

Best choice

• A well-kept 4-cylinder or V6 with good service records is the sweet spot.
• Check the current price before buying, and budget for a head unit upgrade if you care about tech.

Bottom line: Not for everyone, but as a discounted Honda wagon-like crossover, it’s genuinely one of the better “weird” used cars.
