Don't buy this vehicle. Honda's had problems w/ gas mixing in oil in 2016-2018's w/ no fix in sight [class action lawsuits forming]. China did massive recall of 1.5L Turbo CR-V's. Doesn't run well in colder weather. Noxious fumes inside cab while driving due to gas/oil mixture [unhealthy for those w/multiple chemical sensitivities, elderly and small children], plus possible damage to engine itself. Google car complaints re. these issues. Lots of info out there.

I like everything about the car except the seats are so uncomfortable. I guess I should have done a longer test drive. This car has everything I want in a car especially all the safety features but it is so uncomfortable to drive that I don't want to even drive it more that 10 miles. If I go farther than that my back starts to ache and my right hip hurts and I just want out of the car. I've tried some cushions but they are uncomfortable also. I'm not sure what to do now.

I was shopping around for the best mid size SUV for months but when I sat inane test drive the all new 2017 CRV I fell in love. It truly can be summed up in a single word ... Perfection! If your in the market for a family SUV don't hesitate or take my word or anyone else's word for it, just go drive one at your local Honda dealership and the SUV will sell itself. I have had mine for 2 weeks now and I am loving it more then any other car I have ever owned.

I traded my 2004 BMW X3 for the 2017 CR-V. So far I'm loving it. The X3 was a beast in terms of power so I was a little worried I was going to be left feeling underwhelmed by the CR-V. But with the CVT/turbo combination it's actually surprisingly nimble. The CVT is an unusual experience too. It happily sits in the 2000-3000 rpm range (where the power is coincidentally) for most normal driving. That pretty much means you have power on tap whenever you need it. Linear and predictable which is great. The driver and passengers seats are really comfortable and the car is crammed with useful (as well as some not so useful) technology. The adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assist really works well beyond what I would have expected. I've so far only had to fill the tank yesterday after 2 weeks and 400 miles. The trip computer is indicating an average of 31 mpg right now and it's still climbing although. I tend to do most of my miles on the I5 which is stop and go a lot of the time so that figure is actually quite impressive. The cabin is particularly roomy. We get two surfboards and gear in comfortably with way more spare room than in the X3. All in all I love my new CR-V so far! One minor niggle is that the push button on the overhead light in the cabin is stuck but I'll be leaving it in to be replaced soon so it's not worth complaining about!

Was in the market for a new smaller SUV & being a newly divorced female after 31 years, wanted something extremely reliable. Did my research online first & having had a couple of Honda Accords in the past, I was familiar with their reliability. I've had my new 2017 CR-V EX-L for a month now & even drove it on a trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama & could not be more pleased with it. It ticks all the boxes: reliable, smooth ride, comfortable, plenty of cargo space. All the bells & whistles being carefully thought out, so the driver can pay attention to driving and enjoy the ride! Got at least 33 mpg on trip. Had read an unfavorable review regarding seats being uncomfortable, but me and my passengers disagree. All seats are very comfortable!

Amazingly spacious. Handles very well. Excellent gas mileage. 32 mpg average in the mountains of Utah. Navigation is very good with the single exception of recognizing some named locations. Navi is excellent on addresses. The display. This CRV is very comfortable to drive for someone 6'3" and someone 5'4". Excellent value. Cross-shopped against the new VW extended Tiguan (unimpressive) and the Subaru Forester and Outback. The 2017 CRV is totally new and is much longer with much more luggage space than prior CRVs.

It's only been a month but so far I think it is well built. My grandfather used to tell me the quality of a car can be noticed in the way the doors close and it has a really nice solid feel when you close the doors. It is getting great gas mileage and when you feel like you need some pep all you have to do is shift into the sport mode otherwise leaving it in drive with the economy mode on is sufficient. I love the color blue on it! I hope the new turbo engine and the redesigned body will be reliable for many miles to come if so I will be a very happy camper!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW CR-V EXL AWD

I've had my new 2017 CR-V EXL AWD for one month now. Absolutely love it. I love the new design of the CRV. Very sporty and edgy. Previously I've owned two Honda Pilots since 04 and decided to down size and get better mpg. Recently got 33 mpg on a trip and averaging 25 mpg, with a lot of city driving. Really enjoy driving this vehicle, handles very well. Not going to win any drag races with this CRV, a little sluggish from the start but I knew this going in. Going from my Pilots V6 to this 1.5 four cylinder. Interior is very roomy and luxurious. Considered the RAV4 and Mazda CX5. After a lot of research and reading/video a lot of reviews I went with the CRV. I know I made the right choice. I'm looking forward to owning this vehicle for many years. You can't go wrong with the CRV, it is definitely at the top of it's class. Have owned my CRV-EXL for seven months now. Could not have picked a better vehicle. I still absolutely love this car. Still averaging 25 MPG. Have not had any problems with my CRV. Will go for my first service at 7500 miles. Plenty of cargo room for those vacation trips. Looking forward to seeing how the CRV handles in the snow. Still loving my CRV after 13 months, avg. 27 mpg. No problems in the snow this past winter. One of the best cars I've ever owned It's been one and half years now since buying my 2017 C-RV EXL. Still loving it, everything is going well with it. Would buy it again in a heart beat. Two years plus and have had zero problems with my CRV. It's been almost 4 years and my CRV-EXL is still going strong, The only problem I've had is the original Bridgestone tires didn't last, only 25,000 miles. Replaced with Continental and I can really tell the difference. Other than the tires I've had zero other problems, love it.

Good Car but it has A/C issues

The A/C doesn't cool the car properly and the dealer pretends like the car has no issues. Very poor A/C.

I will be truthful as opposed to other reviews as the new has worn off. The vehicle is ok for its class but in its class are a lot of other choices that are much better. So do your homework before buying. My major complaint is the heating system and that is why i am writing this review for it has a major flaw as most honda vehicles have. The dealer says that this vehicle and the vehicle he drove to work this morning would not warm up on his way to work for the temps were in the low teens. Seems funny since my 2017 Escape that sat outside warmed up after a 1 1/2 mile drive and i was nice and toasty. The temp gauge on the crv would not get off the cold mark after sitting in our garage and a five mile drive. This was our second trip to the dealer for this problem and the second time they said it was normal. After much dispute the dealer agreed to order a thermostat which is on national backorder and install it when it comes in. Why is it on national back order? Is Honda having some issues? Oh and by the way the first time it was in the dealership the car was warmed up for 15 minutes and then it was a 10 mile drive to the dealer and we pulled in and the service person saw the low temp on the gauge.
