2016 CRV Touring, Nice ride and it has a CD player
It is more roomy than several that i looked at, including RAV4. The navagation is more complicated in the 2016 than the 2017 CRV. I don’t like the navigation system. The 2016 CRV has a CD player which I definitely wanted and many of the newer models do not. Even after 58,000 miles, it is still a good solid vehicle with a smooth ride.

A Used Purchase Perspective
Just got a 2016 Touring AWD CRV with <34K miles of wear & tear and it looks to be in almost new condition (1 previous owner). Didn't know if I'd have reservations about the trans as I've never owned a CVT before - verdict thus far? 2 thumbs up. Had to drive roughly 50 miles home from dealer and came up I95 - I can say the almost 10 year old car has more than a little pep in it's step. Cruising along and didn't realize I was going over 70mph as the car wasn't straining at all. Full disclosure: we own and I drove for at least 5 years a '13 CRV EX that our middle child has at school now with over 100K - no issues. Back in '20 my wife found a great deal on a '12 EX for our oldest who's also at school, again, no issues. Our youngest will be getting their license soon & they'll be driving the mini van ('04 Sienna CE - the thing's a beast, but that's for another time). I have been driving the van since our middle child took over the '13 in spring of '23. Looked at a couple different makes and models with specific ideas on budget and mileage. Looked at CX5's (liked the look of the older models) but the 2013 that we found was a bit too underpowered. Looked at the Forester and while the '16 Limited we found seemed solid ('22 with 22K miles), the looks were a little underwhelming plus CR reviews on reliability were less than stellar, go figure. Looked at a bunch of RAV4s and CRVs but they either had too many miles or priced out of reach. Found this one with the relatively low mileage and (relatively) low cost and decided to jump on it. at time of writing this, literally have only had this CRV for 4 days and haven't gotten to drive much so initial impressions only: Plenty of power on highway. Not looking to hotrod so it's more than adequate. Some professional reviews complain it's under powered or makes horrible noise trying to pass. I didn't experience any of that and was cruising 65-80 for the highway portion of my trip home. Around town driving feels like there isn't as much giddy-up at low RPMs but not bad. Handling seems perfectly fine, haven't had to deal with rain or snow, so no real opinion yet. Gas mileage seems solid - not an electric or hybrid - so if it holds close to what others report getting both on highway and around town, that'll be a win. The electronic interface seems a bit unintuitive, even more so since there's no knobs, and the buttons to press are on the small side, you have to take your eyes off the road to find them. Verdict is still out on the right side camera, I'm a bit old school and never had anything like this before and don't see that it's adding a whole lot like the backup cameras do - I think I'd prefer blind spot monitoring instead. I wear specs for driving and it was night time coming home after purchase - road visibility/headlights are good. someone else mentioned not being able to see out the back - having driven other CRVs, I will politely disagree. Road noise is not a thing - this might be all relative as the van's air seals on the doors are either missing or decomposing - so by contrast the CRV feels like a library with the windows up and sunroof closed. The leather seats aren't bad but I prefer cloth. The heating elements for the front seats seem to work well too. Happy so far and will try to update with any developments or observations as this is a used car purchase and review.

Great Car
This is a well built car. Not high end luxury but very nice and practical. Second row and cargo space are excellent for the car size.

My dream car
If you want a comfortable, reliable, great handling car with good gas mileage and excellent safety features that is a reasonable price, this is the car for you. I was in a major accident with mine that totaled the car, largely because of the cost of replacing the side air bags, but escaped with my life and relatively minor injuries.
