So update from my last review 12/20/2016. Today is 1/4/2018, my CRV has been sitting at Honda Service Center since 11/14/2017, I have been given soooooooo much run around with this car it's so frustrating, so I went back to the dealership to speak with the GM, some other guy came out trying to act like it was him he went with me to test drive my car, He drove he get in the car he felt what I was talking about, he drove for about 5 minutes no need to drive any longer because the vibration is there immediately, we get back to the dealership and he trys to give me every excuse in the world as to why all the problems with the car is ok. I went for an oil change and they had to change the battery in a brand new car less then 2 years old, my roof have stains on it come to find out it's freaking leaking, I have video of the radio system malfunctioning and as of this day I still haven't heard from Honda to tell me anything about my car, I'm at my wit's end with The car and Honda I'm going to have to Sue enough is enough, this experience dealing with Honda has elevated my blood pressure and stress levels so much I get sick just knowing I have to deal with them, I thought my ex boyfriend was the worse mistake of my life but nope nope Honda took the title. Cooperate office had the nerve to ask me what do I want them to do smh, they offered nothing all they basically said was oops sorry,

basic maintenance is only oil change and multi-point check for first 3 years,if your mileage is less than 10 K/year. Thus, there is no need to get a prepaid 3 yr. service contract if you have a good mechanic. Anyway, service check-up does not include complicated electronics which are still under warranty.

Flawed upgrade from 2013

Overall, I'm reasonably happy with my new CRV, which replaced a 2013 version of the same vehicle. Reasonably happy, since we bought 2 2016's a month apart. However, the electronics package (no navigation) is a muddled, poorly designed and implemented step backwards from our 2013 Civic and 2013 CRV. In the 13's, push a button and say a name to make a phone call to someone in your speed dial list. Easy to use, and nearly always got it right. In the 2016's, it's not only cumbersome, but it usually comes up with the wrong name. At best, it provides a list for you to pick from on the screen, which involves taking eyes off the road. If these functions are important to you, examine them closely and consider whether you are willing to put up with the shoddy behavior of the Honda system. Compared to the system in a Subaru rental car I drove for a few weeks, Honda has a long way to catch up.

2016 CRV - there's no way you can go wrong!!!

Our 2nd CRV after owning a 2008 CRV-LX. The 2008 was trouble free except routine maintenance and one A/C clutch repair which cost $700. Other than that was a trouble free car. We traded it in for a 2016 EX as we wanted to have the bluetooth and backup/blind spot camera. Everything else is a plus in the EX model. We couldn't have been happier with the Honda CRV. Some folks have complained or mentioned about the CVT vibration issue. There is none whatsoever. There are a few things we miss from our 2008. The center dash had a few cubby holes for phone etc which are not present anymore. Also above the glove box was a secondary store place which is no longer present. But these are minor inconveniences we can adjust to as there's plenty of storage space in the car. Kudos to the Honda designers who've improved the car since 2008 and keep doing so. ------------Update------------ 1 year and ~15K mi later, the car is still going strong. Routine oil change done & tires rotated. We noticed an airflow issue in the air conditioner wherein it appears to put out more air on the passenger side than the driver side. Took it into Honda for service and no problem found. For the next CRV, we'd like to see more integration with the iPhone and the onscreen display, especially the navigation from iphone to onscreen very similar to the current Honda accord.
