So far loving my new car. Did not get the leather upgrade and no navigation, the downside is does not have Sirius Radio without that package. Handles nice and so far not days! After 2 yrs.....still like my Honda. Don't like the radio operation. Seats could be more comfortable for long trips and wish I had purchased it with the GPS. Overall I would buy another one, still love it 4/2019, love my cr-v after a couple of years. The interior is a little noisy with the radio on and seats still not great but overall would do it again Nearly 4 yrs since I purchased it and still enjoy it. A newer model would have to be quieter inside to consider, otherwise still love it Sold it to my daughter. Bought the touring

2016 CRV AWD Limited with slipping CVT transmissio

When hot, the CVT transmission slips all the time. Whenever you press firmly down on the accelerator the engine RPM's increase but the vehicle speed doesn't. When trying to pass a car on a 2 lane road this vehicle becomes extremely dangerous and even life threatening due to the slipping transmission. The dealer say's it's normal, but it is not normal at all. Also, the highway miles per gallon barely reaches 19 MPG due to the slipping transmision.

previous Honda crv owner. 2 different styles. 2016 model felt cramped. the new technology in the model was distracting, not helpful. couldn't wait to get off the highway and end this test drive. Bought a Dodge Journey crossroads 2016. Love it!

Very disappointed that they changed interior of 2016. Loved my 2013. I miss arm rest on driver seat and storage space between seats.

Always go with at least an EX. Worth the price, you can always lease an expensive SUV, but you will never own it.
