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.

I only have 4,000 miles on this 2017, but it might very well become one of the best vehicles that I have ever owned. I now have 9,000 miles on my CRV. It is almost 1 yr. old. To date, it is flawless, zero problems. This small 1.5 turbo charged engine is awesome, pretty fast acceleration. It is supposed to yield better mpg than my 2014 did, but it is actually not quite as good, averaging only 34 mpg. The 2014, with the 2.5 engine got 36 in hwy. driving. I LOVE the CVT.

We have all experienced having the thought of owning something being far superior to the actual possession. With the 2017 CR-V Touring model, this is definitely NOT the case. I am now four days into having traded in a 2013 CR-V EX-L for a 2017 Touring model I have lusted after this model since it was announced. The end of model year deals made the numbers finally work out. Nothing has disappointed me. I love the technology, comfort, looks, and performance. Took a day trip over the weekend and fell in love with the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance features, These features make driving less tiring. The noise level has been reduced substantially. If I had to come up with a negative, it would be the lack of a selector knob on the radio. On occasion, it takes a little more driver involvement than one would prefer in order to change stations. Also, I haven't figured out yet if I can still use voice commands for changing stations. In summary, I cannot believe that anyone will be disappointed with owing one of these jewels. It's a year later now and nothing in my original opinion has changed. The vehicle is still a delight to drive. The only maintenance other than oil changes has been a free update to the navigation system. I still feel good every time I get in and go somewhere. This may very well be my favorite vehicle ever. Another year has passed, and there has been nothing that would alter my opinion. This vehicle remains one of the best car purchases I have ever made.

Not My 2006 Car Camping CR-V.

I was so excited to learn there was a redesign for the 2017 model. The day they arrived at the lot, I test drove an LX and an EX. We all know what is good: cargo space, mpg, safety. With the CVT, I am hoping we still have reliability and CR-Vs that last for 200k-300,000 miles, but too soon to tell. I sold my all-time favorite vehicle, a highly reliable 2006 CR-V that doubled as a fly fishing and car camping machine, to fellow fly fishing friends. Three years later, it operates w/o any problems. I sold it because I should've rust-proofed that Honda, but I didn't. ): In part because recent year CR-Vs dropped their earlier ground clearance, I bought a Subaru Outback. Great MPG, but I'm concerned about their CVTs, and the '06 CR-V was still a better outdoor person's suv than the Subaru, which is marketed to outdoor enthusiasts. There were too many little things that disappointed me in the 2017 CR-V, and a few big things that don't suit my outdoor lifestyle, that led me NOT to buy the new CR-V. Boo! *1) No CD player... to play the audio books on those 4 to 8-hr car rides to my fishing destinations. 2) Annoying: no storage on LX behind driver's seat. Chintzy and impractical. Come on, Honda. That's where my maps go. *3) No option to use a key to start suv in any models except LX. What if battery dies or fob becomes defective, gets dropped in water? I want a key to most-reliably start the vehicle. 4) I'd love the choice of a mid-level suv that does NOT make me have a sunroof. 5) It seems that the light-colored exteriors no longer had black (dark), cloth interior options... Outdoorsy people can get dirty and/or wet pants and still need to sit on seats and drive vehicles. *6) If consumers all have to have touchscreens, how about angling them slightly downward or ? so the sun does not reflect off them into the driver's eyes??! And for that matter, can we get rid of the fake, reflective silver trim on the dash and center counsel? These, to me, are more important safety and comfort features than things like "acoustic glass". *7) Please, please, please give the 2018 CR-V fold-flat front seats like my '06 CR-V did and the current Rogue does!! With the fold-flat seat, I could car camp safely in passenger front/rear seat, leaving cargo area for cargo and allowing me to slip into driver's seat in case of safety needs/to drive away. I could also recline the rear seat and work on projects or read prior to going to sleep. The 2017 LX driver's seat almost folds flat enough, but serious padding would be needed for remotely comfortable sleeping. Fold flat seats also allow for hauling longer items for DIY projects. 8) Do you remember those hooks on the rear headliner of the '06 CR-V that were intended for use with child safety seats? Well, those hooks served other practical needs. I hung bungie cords from them, used Velcro on the headliner and attached bungies between the left and right passenger above-the-door handles to hang my fly rods in the compact '06 CR-V. Man, I miss that vehicle! No hooks on headliner of 2017 CR-V, but Rogue has one. Alas, Rogue is too small and I've heard rumors about CVT concerns there, too. Every part of me wants to own the reliable Honda CR-V again, but Honda started turning it more into a car as years went on. Now, with increased ground clearance and improved height cargo area, maybe Honda is getting more practical again and gearing their compact suv to people who really want the utility of an suv? Fold flat seats would go along way to make the suv more outdoors and DIY ready. And what other manufacturers are ditching the cd player?! Let's get that cd player back in the cabin. Thanks for letting me do this review!

I did a lot of research looking for a smaller suv. This car got my attention and after having it a month, it has kept my attention. It really is a great little car. There are no other cars in its class. I got a free life time warranty on motor, drive train ectopic. I also purchased a lifetime extended warranty. What a deal and no other warranty like this. I guess this shows exactly how dependable this Honda CRV really is. I highly recommend this car as it is far beyond the competition. You want be sorry with this car.

This is my 4th SUV. I did a lot of research to find a smaller SUV that was dependable, comfortable and had great safety features. I decided on the Honda CR-V. Not only is it a good looking vehicle but it has been dependable and a pleasure to drive.
