It is a little pricey for a 4 banger

Costco Deal!

The car is great! We got it in Obsidian blue with gray cloth upholstery. Very comfortable ride and my achy back loves the heated seats. Electronic safety features are terrific. Lots of space inside. Downsides? Rear visibility and inadequate roof rack system. When we decided on the CR-V I decided to check out the car deals offered through Costco. Went to their website, entered what I was looking for and was given a dealer and person to meet.You must go to the dealership, show your Costco card and ID and then they show you a print out of their pricing. It was easily $400 less than the best deal I could get anywhere else. (When I gave the quoted price to another dealer they said the Costco dealer was "whoring up the market"! This was on a brand new model in short supply. At 7500 miles no major complaints. Took several long car trips and got 33 mpg! This is almost 50% better than our previous 2004 Mazda Tribute. The only knock I have is on entertainment electronics. The USB ports are very difficult to access in the center console and the Bluetooth is finicky about connecting to some devices. After one year of ownership and 13k miles absolutely no issues! Worked great in the snow in Yosemite this winter. Two years, 27k miles I am still very happy. Two points to watch for: If you are a very tall driver check out the drivers leg room. It maybe short for you. Also, the cabin is not as quiet as I would like. Maybe the tires, but it is annoying. Three year mark. Still a great vehicle with no serious complaints. I have really come to rely on the adaptive cruise control in heavy traffic. It is great at maintaining a safe distance to the car in front of me. 36k miles. No issues

I love my 2017 EX Honda CRV except for two bothersome shortcomings: extreme wind noise at 60 mph and functionality of the navigational system?

It's a great well built car, with several levels of options. But they are pricey in my books.

Saved my life!!

This car (and maybe an angel or two) saved my life! I owned it for 6 months and absolutely loved driving it. The sensoring features on it kept me awake on my long commute to work. The off road departure, lane assist and cruise control pacing were/are a necessity for me now. I can't imagine driving without it. I was in a wreck where I rear-ended a vehicle sitting still on a dark, two-lane busy state route. I popped up over a hill and there was the car. There was not enough time to stop. My air bag deployed as I slammed into the back of the vehicle. The whole front end of the CRV was crushed and crumpled up to the windshield. I was perfectly fine - only one minor scratch on my hand. The amazing thing was I didn't even feel like I'd been in a crash. I didn't even get sore. The front end of the Honda totally absorbed the impact of the crash. After my new car was totaled, I bought another Honda CRV - 2018.

Fantastic Vehicle

Excellent Vehicle for the $. Great comfort, storage capacity and visibility. Electronics and Climate control take some getting used to especially the climate control which is supposed to be dual but is difficult to operate. Fuel door is difficult to find/reach, buried on the left side lower panel near the floor this is something a driver uses constantly and should be placed in a more accessible area. Overall this is an outstanding vehicle with just a few quirks.

This is a great car that meets my needs. I test drove many SUVs and the CR V was the one I chose. I feel very safe driving it. I am very happy with my new car.

Car rides more like an upscale SUV. 2017 updates are excellent. I compared the CR-V to Mazda CX-5 and went with the CR-V for extra cabin space ESP trunk area. This car is so much fun to drive. I love the technology and Apple CarPlay.

Met My High Expectations

I had a long checklist of criteria and this hit the mark. I am still discovering things that this does! For example, I did not realize that the highbeams came on automatically and then reset when necessary. What a great feature! I needed something with power and good gas mileage and this definitely fits that bill.
