It has been established that seeing out the rear of the Crosstour is, well, nearly impossible, but surprisingly the front view is good, and A-pillar obstructions are limited so you do have a good view across that large hood. Over the course of the week I am getting used to shoulder checking which I found useless at first, now seems like a lifesaver.

My tester is equipped with snow tires, so tire noise is a little higher than I would expect from this vehicle, but I am almost certain this would not be the case with the OEM supplied tires.
As far as handling, well, it is difficult to judge much when the roads are covered in ice and snow, but the Crosstour feels capable and would-be owners are sure to be satisfied with the refinement and manoeuvrability the Crosstour offers.
The gauges are very clear and easy to read with blue needles and ambient lighting. In fact, lighting is one important and often overlooked feature in a vehicle: all interior switches and knobs in the Crosstour are lit, something Honda and Acura do extremely well and something I have noticed to be lacking recently, even in so-called luxury vehicles.
The ride is compliant and wind noise is imperceptible, so the Crosstour is a comfortable car to drive and ride in; there isn’t much more to say than that.
