Used 2017 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Poor build quality
Hood and tailgate came misaligned from the factory. Large gap on one side and almost touching the surrounding body panel on the other side for the hood. Tailgate flush to surrounding body panel on one side and inset with larger gap difference on the other side. Dealership acknowledged issue but diverted me to Honda to resolve. Usually this is something you only need to look for in a Used vehicle to check if it has visited a body shop before. Not something that crosses your mind to look for with a new vehicle. Overall driving is good but does have more road noise than an MDX or larger vehicle. Gas mileage is good. Interior is nicely laid out. CarPlay works great for navigation and playing music from Amazon Prime or Pandora. Bluetooth phone works great using an iPhone 6s or newer. Heater painted on lines on back tailgate window peel off if the dealer tapes your temporary license on the lines.

Haggle for best $
Do your homework. don't settle for anything more than 28, 800.00 for the ERX-L model. Haggle until you get at least $3000.00 off list price

On the road again
There isn’t much this car lacks. The control panel could have a more user friendly design. The interface has a steep learning curve and it could have been simplified. Finding a bit more road noise than I like but I am still in love with the car!!

2017 Honda CRV Touring
2017 Honda CRV (touring) is my third Honda. Unfortunately, it will be my last. With the numerous electronics issues and gas in the oil I've had enough of Honda. Unfortunately the USA will allow Honda to sell this junk in the states with all of the known issues. China refuses to allow Honda to sell these hehicles until the issues are resolved. I've had blind spot sensor issues with less than 3k miles. Control panel brightness issues. Now after 107K miles I've got undetermined issues with several alarms going off. I'm done with Honda, they are obviously to complacent with there vehicles. HONDA CARS ARE JUNK.

MOLTEN LAVA MELTS YOUR HEART
This is a beautiful vehicle and with high technology. The only problem I had with mine is the seat just was not comfortable. Not enough Padding on the seat so it was not comfy with a bad back. Ride is a standard SUV ride, not smooth like a nice sedan. I purchased it after having a Kia Soul. The Kia had next to no storage behind the back seats. While searching for an SUV I looked for the one with the most storage behind the back seat. I traded my 2017 Honda at Smart Motors in Madison with only 7300 miles it if you are looking for a great car and the seat is good for you. I traded up to a Camry XLE Hybrid. Camry seats comfy, ride is very smooth and gas mileage is like I've never had before.

First 1,000 miles were very impressive
In the past, I always bought one year old Chrysler products with minimum options as they had low resale and I could buy them for short money. Worked for me as a sales guy pounding on the miles. This changed when I watch a Toyota Camry ad on television showing the auto braking saving a family from a collision due to inattention. Acknowledging my age I felt the others on the road deserved for me to have these "extra eyes" helping. Also I live on a large hill in snow country and although I have always made it home with FWD, the trip often involved "flying" the car over the hills. Decided I would rather be able to climb hills at a sane speed so went with AWD. Went shopping and tried all the CSUVs. My evaluation pointed to the Honda as having the best forward emergency braking, adaptive cruise, cross traffic and absolutely the best lane guidance. Only 1,000 miles down so far but no buyers regret whatsoever. The car is quiet enough, the automatic climate control has not been touched -- set to 70 and forget. Lane guidance is amazing, I can go through s bends with my hands off. (The car admonishes me to steer after a few seconds but stays in lane as long as there are stripes.) Mileage is pretty good for an AWD non aerodynamic box with upright seating -- 34 on highway and 29 all round with many short trip.

So far the best CR-V we owned
we have a 2017 CR-V and we live in Fargo, ND which is in the Midwest, it handle great on the road are auto start isn't the best for range. that your typical manufacture auto start but when you do use it. It takes in consideration on the temp outside to decide if you need the defrost on and heated seats or if you need AC for being a hot day. love the feature. as well half the time we are in a hurry in the summer we don't think to use it. but When your walking back to the CR-V on a hot day I take out my key fob tap then hold the unlock button and it will open all my windows to get the hot air out it. so I don't have to be in a hot car. but the ride is amazing, quit and great gas mpg for AWD.. and has tons of room in the back epically if you have a kid, we compared it to the Rav4 but its so small and is really tinning and way to light. and the Cr-V was heavy and came with a lot features like apple car platy and android auto and the safety is at the top rated. haven't had any issues and now owned it for about a little over a year now. I would Highly recommend the CR-V

Disappointed in safety features.
This is our third CR-V in a row. Traded in our 2015 model on a 2017 CR-V Touring with every option on it. The 2015 had only 25,00 miles but I wanted the new safety features since my wife drives it withe the grandkids frequently in it. We have driven it 4,000 mile including one vacation trip which I drove. Despite the new turbo powered engine, it still feels underpowered to me, like our 2015 model did. It seems like you have to push too hard to make it get up and go, but admittedly I have been spoiled by my Toyota Tundra with a big V-8. The safety features are a big disappointment, since I bought this just for them. The front brake assist only works if the cruise control is on. If it is not on, you get only a big orange warning light on the dashboard that you are too close to the car in front of you. The Stay in You Own Lane assist, as I call it, will fight you if you use it (you can turn it off). It actually steers the car for you which is very annoying since you will be holding the wheel doing your own steering while the car wants to steel slightly differently. Lord help you if you want to change lanes without signalling. Then the wheel will vibrate to let you know what a law-breaker you are. My last complaint is the memory seat. If I run around doing errands, the seat memory button has to be pushed every time I get into the car, even if I was the last one to drive it. Most memory seats I know stay set until changed by another driver. Summary, we really like our CR-V, the cargo space, the reliability but hate the safety features. We should have kept our 2015 model and saved money.

A big disappointment
Overall this car was a disappointment. I bought it mainly for the gas mileage. Honda claims it gives 28-32 mpg. I drive conservatively and I am lucky to get 22 mpg. I was expecting it to be a couple of miles under claimed values but not 10 miles. As far as I am concerned, Honda is false advertising.... Performance and material quality is not much better either.
