1000 miles so far, excellent...
I was wary of the vibration issue for the 2015 so I waited for the 2016 to come out and some indication from Honda that a fix was applied. I can tell you that my car is not vibrating excessively, either at idle or driving, at least it's not noticeable to bother me or my passengers. MPG is good, I can get 32 on the highways, 26-28 otherwise. Car handles great, accelerates sufficiently, and just feels good to drive. I came from a 10 year old Accord and I can tell you the resale values on Hondas can't be beat. I don't expect reliability issues, knock on wood! Headroom is good, storage is more than enough for my needs, and I feel safer with AWD. Stereo sounds good with the upgraded subwoofer, climate controls work as expected. Rearview and blindside cameras are very well integrated, I miss them sorely when I'm driving a vehicle without them now. Leather seats are comfortable and feel good even with long distance driving. Few nitpicks, sunroof feels small compared to some of the competitors. Also, the navigation system really needs an update, I can't believe they charge 1500 for it, doesn't read out street names and cross streets are sometimes labeled, sometimes not. The touchscreen interface is confusing and takes some time to learn. Road noise is a bit loud at 60-70 mph, but I'm used to a sedan. Hope this helps some prospective buyers!

Just bought mine last week
Previously owned an 'o9 Honda Crv Exl with Navi and loved it! The best little car I've had so far. The only think I don't like about the new EXL, is the interface, like the radio and no on and off buttons! What's up with that! I wish they would go back to the -o9 interface on the dashboard. It was easy to use and had more features like: more stations, 6 cd holder, better controls, etc. This one takes time getting used to. It's as if they threw the dashboard together last minute with finger push accesse to music, navi...For the money, I would think that they'd make it more user friendly is all. Other than the user Unfriendly dash, it's a smooth riding car...so far! I wanted to buy one last year, but heard about all the vibration issues, so I really wanted to take this one for a lengthy test drive. It seems fine. Love the interior beige leather too. Another thing I'm not too happy with is the audio music!! Omg, do they put any speakers in the rear??? because if so, it doesn't sound that way. The more I write, the more I'm missing my old car! I'm sure I'll get used to all the so called "updated" features in time. It's a really nice car overall, but dissatisfied with the audio/navi... It shouldn't be that difficult

Disappointed
I have owned/leased 4 Honda CRVs and my current 2016 has been disappointing. I have had electrical issues such as 1) bad alternator , 2) bad battery, 3) faulty alarms; and two of the 70,000 mile tires failing at 45,000. The navigation system is difficult to use (I love the Waze app that is user friendly) and get lost frequently. The radio system is also poor. The Honda service personnel are outstanding and very pleasant, professional and proficient; whereas the Honda salesman disappear when there is an issue and/or when you request consideration due to your current experiences and being a long term customer.

Don't do it!
The vibration issue is real!. After five months I began to feel the vibration especially when holding the brake while stopped at a light. It has gotten increasingly worse. Three trips to the service center to be told that this is normal. Shame on Honda. This problem outweighs any positive features.

Not happy
Very disappointed that they changed interior of 2016. Loved my 2013. I miss arm rest on driver seat and storage space between seats.
