Used 2017 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
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.

Great CRV!
We really like the CRV-EXL! No issues what so ever. Lots of room and space for a family of 4. Great handling and fuel ECONOMY. Love the safety features. No engine or battery issues. Live in the south.

Winter Traction Action
We live in a rather hilly area and for the most part the car performs adequately. However, the car has plenty of power and is only FWD, The next one we’ll be AWD.

A couple quirks.
No CD player. No "hand operated" parking brake, which would be nice when stopped on a slope for a while. Radio controls not user friendly. Great car otherwise.

Retired engineers review
I have owned the car for two years. Two warranty items, battery died, replaced for free. Plastic piece in shifter cracked and failed. Dealer replaced in a few minutes. The turbo engine and CVT are impressive compared to normally aspirated step transmission power trains. The turbo has a lot of torque and the car just accelerates quietly and smoothly. It takes a little getting used to because it is stepless. Some designs and options try to make it feel like step transmission which from an engineers perspective makes no sense.

Rear Differential Failure at 29K
In December 2018, my 2017 Honda CR-V Touring model started making this weird shuddering noise/motion when I was making tight turns such as a right or left into a parking spot. I took the car to the dealer on December 22, 2018 for an oil change and told them about the noise. After performing the oil change, the service adviser stated that they could not recreate the noise. As I continued to drive the car through the rest of December and January, the noise and behavior became worse. I took the car to an independent tech that was in my neighborhood just to ask them about it. They checked the car and let me know that this was likely an issue with the rear differential. I took the car to Honda today (February 6) and they confirmed that the rear differential has failed. They reported that metal particulate was present in the differential fluid. A new differential is being shipped in and will be installed tomorrow under warranty. Note that I did have the rear differential fluid changed at 15K miles per manufacturer's recommendation.

CRV is a great car overall
This car offers nearly everything that we were looking for. The only thing that it lacks is height adjustable passenger seat. None of Honda's vehicles offer this feature at any level. Competitors (although not all) do offer this as standard equipment. Handles well in all kinds of weather. Rides comfortably on long trips. Update - two years later, we still really like the CRV. At first we were a bit leery of all the electronics as we had traded in a ten year old Accord that had none. Now, we appreciate them, especially lane assist and follow. The seats are very comfortable, the drivers side more so as it has height adjustment. The vehicle has done everything we wanted one to do including hauling things. We have had a glitch in the screen. Honda, as usual, has been responsive to our issue.

Front end vibration
Although I have enjoyed this vehicle for 2 years, I am having issues with a vibration in the front end at 55+ speeds. Have had it into the dealer several times and they can't figure it out...
