New owners picked up a great deal on a closeout model year. There are no changes from 2017 to 2018. This SUV is very roomy from front seats to the cargo area. Ride is very comfortable and CVT transmission seems to be smooth. I will not nit pic much as it is not a Cadillac. The road noise some refer to is not that noticeable even on the highway. Crappy tires can cause road noise in any car. Don't let those reviews turn you away from checking out this SUV. So far I am satisfied. Cannot speak for reliability as Its our first Honda. Honda's reputation speaks for itself so I hope to find myself in that family of happy long time owners some day. Acceleration is adequate for its size. Still breaking it in so I have not really opened it up. Again its not a Cadillac or Porsche. The radio/entertainment system is nice. EX Model does have Sirius XM despite most window stickers do not tell you that. Yes it is somewhat tricky to use at first but you have to sit in the car with the salesman and go over the features before you leave the lot. The fabric appears to be strong and seats firm. There are a lot of positions the driver seat will adjust to. It has tilt and telescopic steering wheel as well. Only time will tell how it holds up but first impression is an everlasting one.

Just boarded still learning about it. I haven’t learned to fully use all the instruments in the car. However at this point I am most impressed with the mileage and the comfort of driving it. The seats are comfortable this front space is comfortable and I really enjoy driving this car. I am still getting used to the rear backup camera and the lane boundaries on the car. But so far I am thoroughly enjoying the process of getting to know my new car!

This car would probably be fine for me for short, (less than 15 min. trips). The drivers seat becomes very hard after sitting on it for any length of time. Wife drove down to Montgomery, Ala. this wkend and averaged 31.7 mpg @ 75 mph. I guess this is ok for an awd, although it would be nice if that 1.5 turbo was a little less thirsty. This seems to be a quality built vehicle, and it does drive quite nice. The front seats however, are terrible. I also am unimpressed with the audio sound. Honda should have a high-end system in the ex-l. In summary, I'm glad this is my wife' car and not mine.

just traded in an 08 highlander sport for crv ex-l.. this car is by far the best car i have ever owned- safety feature packed, nice interior, not a bunch of hard plastic, love the matte finish on the faux wood - only one complaint - they come with the cheapest floor mats i've ever seen .... purchased the all weather mats to throw over them because i suspect these that came with it won't hold up for a year or more..other than that minor issue the car is fantastic!!!

I have only owned Hondas since 1981. I owned a Civic (over 100,000 mi), an Accord (318,000 mi), and an Odyssey (359,800 and still going). This is the first Honda I purchased thinking I would trade it in in a few years on something else. There is much to like about the CRV, but the driver's seat is not comfortable compared to my Odyssey and other vehicles I tested and it is not as attractive as other 2017 makes and models. I also do not care for the sound system in the CRV. It sounds cheap. I decided on the CRV based on resale value.

LOVE the mileage - getting 30 in town! Much better than my 2010 ford escape which I owned previously. Comfortable and fairly quite. Enjoy the heated seats but was driving over the holiday (outside temps in the teens) and it took a while for the interior of the car to warm up. Love the fit and finish, the interior, the outside color and grey interior, etc. The only real issue is that I have had a problem with the rear wiper - the bracket is broken and I've lost two wipers in the past month. The dealership has been good to replace but I've called them about getting another replaced and hope they will not only replace but fix the bracket in which it fits so I don't lose another.

BEWARE of 1.5L Turbo crv ex....junk.

Bought a 2017 crv ex. Lower case letters because this model is absolute crap; from victory honda san bruno, California. Purchased new. Including the maintenance Docs program. In short; after putting 22k miles on it, the computer system (our dash board) had to be re-booted at the dealership 4 times. On the fourth visit, the service tech noticed the severe, super rough idling when the car first starts up in the am. After warming up the car for at least ten minutes the rough idling dissipates. Service tech advised us, "this is not a normal idling condition." Then service tech could not look further into problem until Monday. (this was Saturday, and our fourth visit in 9 days.) Was advised that problem is condensation (or water) is mixing in with the motor. Problem cannot be resolved quickly. Furious; knowing that this turbo pos, may have water leakage in the head- which may mean a teardown; and then a possible "litigation process against honda"; I know for sure honda mgmt knows about this- and they're just ignoring the few sour apples, for now. In short; we dumped the pos crv, (and mistakenly, but I really had no choice), ended up trading it back for a 2019 Pilot Touring with a V-6. Yes, I still ended up with a honda, but not a turbo. We currently have 9k miles on our Pilot. The computer is telling us our 10k service must be done now. Bottom line; stay away from turbo. And maybe stay away from honda. Their service basically sucks.

Honda quality is not what it used to be.

I bought a used 2017 with 40,000 miles back in May 2019. I always loved Hondas until now. A couple of months after buying it, the air conditioner expansion valve started making noises. I was told by the dealership it would cost about $500 to repair due to the special process. I was stranded on a separate ocassion since the shifter would not get out of Park and had to get a plastic piece in the shifter replaced (this should have been covered by a safety recall since you can get stranded at any time!!!). The dealerships are helpful enough but Honda quality is not what is used to be. Needless to say, my next vehicle will be a Toyota...

This redesigned CRV is what we've been waiting for. It's no longer the plain Jane of SUVs, but an example of current mechanical engineering with its Turbo engine and hi-tech applications on the dashboard. I love the side view mirrors/camera set-up. Has saved me from several expressway fender benders. The cruise control/distance link is super convenient and eases highway driving. Seat adjustments make it comfortable for all shapes/sizes. Don't let the controls overwhelm you, learn them one at a time. Dealer's help in setting them up is imperative. Update Nov 2020 Car is still operating beautifully at 4 yrs, with very few issues. Have had to have the computer adjusted a couple of times - warning signals come up on the dash - but dealer has taken care of those with no charge. Computer reprograms take a day so you need a loaner. Hwy gas mileage is excellent. City is around 20 miles/gal. Still love the cruise/distance control with lane spacing, especially for expressway driving. Turbo engine has me convinced. Plenty of pick-up when needed. I love this car. Nov 2021 Still going strong at 4 yrs. No major problems other than AC condenser had to be replaced. Mileage is 28-29 mph. Warranty has expired so hoping to avoid out-of-pocket expensive computer reboots. I change the oil and do preventive maintenance. Worth it it the long run.
