I believe the interior of the 2017 CRV has changed. In this model year I still find the instrumentation to be awkward. Other than that I like the vehicle. Economical, reliable and the AWD really does plow through a good amount of snow.

FINAL UPDATE 9/26/18- Tried to learn to love this CRV but it just never happened. Traded in the 2016 CRV for a 2018 Mazda CX5. The difference between them is night and day. The Mazda is one of the best cars I have owned. Comfortable, Quite, Intuitive,Handling, Power get POSITIVE checks. Gas mileage is not as good as the Honda's. UPDATE 7/2017- I dislike this car more than ever. The driver's seat comfort is my greatest issue. I have added a foam cushion to the backrest, without it I cannot drive the car because my back aches. (I don't have that issue with any other vehicles I own). The audio system is just a PIA to operate. Road noise is terrible. Have decided to ditch this car ASAP. Bought 2016 CR-V EX. as the replacement of a 2006 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I considered the Mazda CX5 but hesitated because I couldn't find long term data results for the SkyActiv engine. Was unimpressed with the RAV4 and the Ford Escape. After 2 weeks with the Honda I regret the decision. No matter what I do I cannot get comfortable in the driver's seat, The car has power adjust seats but no position is satisfying. I am 5' 8" and 190lb. The seat is wrong at the lumbar no matter deflated or inflated,- hard on the butt , poor conforming and feels to narrow across the back, just terrible. Not looking forward to a long trip in the saddle. Road noise volume is unbelievable, It came with BridgeSTONE tires, I never had them on a vehicle. I am hoping that once they wear out, a set of Dunlop's will improve the noise level. Obviously the roof has NO sound proofing because during a heavy rain the sound was brutal. The audio system has no possibility for satellite radio. The Bluetooth is spotty. The displays are minimal in choice. The gas mileage has been great, With the ECO off the car has adequate power, when on NO. There is no doubt this is a four cylinder when you give it the whip, but it's OK. Handling is good, wheel feel is good. Transmission is smooth. Hope to never experience diabetic neuropathy in the feet, gas and brake pedals are very close together and have at the same time hit both a few times, confident I will get used to this. Not thrilled with this car, hoping that opinion changes in the next 150,000 miles.

This is a great vehicle....my only negatives....there is no auto garage door opener or trunk release button. This should be standard on this model. The bluetooth, radio, phone system is just ok and a little confusing. Much better on my 2016 Altima.

Noise

CONS::: (1) too much noise when riding. you can hear the outside noise from traffic. (2) brakes make a creaking sound. dealership says its normal due to weather. (3) the parking/backup camera is blurred when it rains so you really cant see what is behind you. makes this feature more or less useless. (4) front drivers seat gets uncomfortable if riding for any length of time. (5) CD player setup is kinda "dumb". you have to push the button to raise the display screen to get access to the CD slot. (6) USB ports are inside the center console. hard to utilize. PROS: (1) good gas mileage, we averaged 32mpg on an extended trip. (2) looks good, good lines and style on the body. (3) price was OK.

Happy So Far, But It Could Be Better

I'm enjoying my new car so far but there are a few things that could be better. Even with the standard 4 cylinder engine the car has enough pickup when needed. The interior is comfortable in the front and back seats but the seats feel very firm so I'm not sure how comfortable they will be on a long trip. I still need to do a little more experimenting with the different lumbar settings on the drivers seat. The ride is a little stiff so I do feel bumps in the road when driving but it's not any worse than the ride on the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox that I traded for this car. The only minor disappointment so far is that I'm getting about 2 miles a gallon less than the combined mileage that Honda says you should get. It could be a combination of doing more city driving than road trips, cold weather where I'm using the heater almost all the time, or the fact that that engine is not broken in yet. Hopefully it will get better over time, and I'm looking forward to taking the car on a long trip sometime this year.
