This vehicle had more power, room, and comfort than I honestly expected. I anticipated a good car from Honda (this being my third), but it really exceeded my expectations. Everyone has commented on the ride and comfort, especially the older folk, and it's a terrifically handled car - not SUV-like at all. I call it my Tardis, far more room on the inside than appears on the outside.

It is compact SUV. Bigger space than car but not as big as mini van. Back seats are not that wide to hold three adults. I wish the front camera can show how close the car is to the sides of garage door frame and how close to the curb when parking

Be sure to evaluate the seats before buying. These seats are on the narrow side and thus not comfortable for everybody. Fortunately, I was able to use the power seat adjustments to find a comfortable position. My husband also says he is not cramped like he was in our previous car. Overall, I have no complaints with this car. It’s dependable and really meets our needs. Hope to enjoy it for many years to come!

Vastly Improved....

Other shoppers should know before buying this CR-V that its a huge improvement over the outgoing model, in looks, quality and ride handling. The CR-V does many things well. The seats are some of the most comfortable Honda offers, the looks present a more formidable appearance and the ride feels secure at highway speeds and handling is pretty decent. Underneath the hood is a 190 HP 1.5 Turbo engine with a CVT transmission. Acceleration is very good for a vehicle in this category and as good as that CVT unit is, nothing will take the place of a geared transmission. Inside, several things Id like to see added for the price point of the touring are a Heated Steering wheel, ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. A CD player has been left out of this generation!! Really? All in all, the CRV does what its supposed to do, looking and feeling good the whole time. One place, for me at least where I would like to see some improvement and it may come in time is an increase in fuel economy. Im not seeing the #s advertised. Usually 27.8 has been close to my avg with highway driving pushing 30mpg.

First Time Honda Owner

Grappone Honda, and Shirley, Paige, and Cathy in particular, made the buying experience an enjoyable one. It was a no-pressure and friendly experience. The sticker price on the new CRV and the trade-in offer were very good and eliminated a painful negotiation. This is the first Honda we have ever owned and it is the most comfortable. We purchased it because my wife will be driving her elderly father to appointments soon and we need a vehicle that is easy to get in and out of. Further, I always struggle with comfort because of my height and the CRV is comfortable and a joy to drive. Great buying experience and a great vehicle!

CVT plus turbo lag = poor performance

I really liked everything about the 2017 CRV, materials, comfort, safety features etc. That was until I did a test drive. On the street it felt heavy and somewhat underpowered. On the freeway, it was really bad. The midrange power and torque is really inadequate. If I wanted to speed up, I would press the accelerator and the SUV would start to accelerate but then the CVT "upshifted a gear". I would then have to press the gas pedal further but the same problem would recur again and again. There is no sport mode to make the CVT hold a "gear". This was really bad. The sales person also admitted that there's always a delay with the CVT which is then aggravated by turbo lag plus the CVT always moving "up a gear" making the engine bog down. Great for mileage, bad for driving. My driving is between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, as well as Los Angeles to Mammoth, so there are hills, steep grades and passing. So this SUV is not suitable for my driving conditions and style.

You can get a good deal, but the base model is very simple. No bells and whistles, but it will get you where you need to go.

The redone in 2017 Honda CRV is a great car. Instrumentation including the introduction of CarPlay makes it flawless with my phone and makes for an easy drive. It has a lot of automatic features (ACC, LKAS, and even auto brights) that make driving it a breeze. I've taken it on several longer trips and it has a huge amount of cargo space even with the back seats in use. Couldn't be happier with it. Also, all of the adjustments available for the seat and steering wheel make it comfortable for all the varied height drivers in me house (4'9"-6'2") which is saying something! It's been 6 months and still love the car. Our family of 5 (and out luggage) fit perfectly on a recent vacation. I've had no problems whatsoever and am thrilled with the purchase.

From the test drive to almost two thousand miles of driving this vehicle, I feel more comfortable and in control than I have in previous cars I have owned for a few years. I can manuever into extremely small, tight places with ease. I can park amazingly well using the rear view camera, The ride is so wonderfully smooth and quiet. I feel so safe with my nine and seven year old in the rear seat, and my two Standard Poodles teathered in the hatch. When I walk out of the grocery store, I can't help but giggle a little inside realizing that the strikingly beautiful, shiny car parked in the lot is actually mine!!

The test drive and my salesman were the clincher on my search between the HRV and CRV. I was wanting to upgrade from my 10 year old Honda Fit. Love the reliability of the Honda so wanted to stay with the same brand. CRV was a smooth ride and the "standard" features were just what I wanted without paying too much. Heated seats, sun/moon/power roof, bluetooth, cargo space, roomy rear seat, power, power, power and more!
