After trying all the other SUV's, I decided to wait a few months until the new CRV came out. I don't regret it! It's as perfect as a car could get. The gas is not what they say it's supposed to be, but I didn't expect that not to happen anyway. I love it!

Traded in a 2015 CRV Touring for the 2017 Touring. One word.... WOW! The fifth generation is light-years better than the 2015 on so many levels. Where to start. Comfort, quiet, responsive steering, room for stuff and passengers, features, safety and that marvelous 1.5 liter turbo engine linked to a vastly improved CVT. The fifth generation is well thought out. I am glad I took the "trade in hit" for this CRV. After driving for 6 months and a few longer trips I find this CRV to be very "user friendly". Honda's Safety Suite eases the stress of longer drives. ISSUE !! Since purchase discovered the CRV has gas in oil issue. Cold weather and short trips seem to be a factor. Changing oil every 1500 miles in winter to Keep issue at minimum. Honda is aware of issue but no fix in sight. Same issue as Chinesse CRV where many were recalled. Do your homework. Honda has released a fix. Do your research before you buy.

Let me start by saying that I own 2 Honda generators a 928 snowblower, lawn mower, weed-wacker and rode a Honda Magna for 6 years, so I am familiar with their bulletproof reliability and owner satisfaction. After test-driving the Ford Escape, Volkswagin Tiguan, Toyota RAV-4 and the CR-V, I narrowed it down to this and the RAV-4. Even though the Toyota dealership offered me 0% financing and $100 below invoice, I felt the CR-V was the superior vehicle in many ways. The Honda is definitely more comfortable and roomier in both the front and back seats. Plus the interior design feels more elegant and refined whereas the Toyota appears cheesy and generic. The Tiguan was nice, but definitely more expensive and has confusing controls and displays. Escape was pushing 30k for a mid-level trim. I am glad I made this purchase and can now understand why the CR-V is the #1 vehicle in this class.

Nicest CRV ever

We are highly satisfied with the decision to pick the CRV from our list of three finalists. It drives really well, the safety features/technology work well, the ride is miles ahead of what we had with the 2013 Accord V-6 we had (rode like a truck), lots of room, turbo really takes care of hilly terrain. The interior is attractive and the car is well finished overall. The 2017 CRV presents a very convincing argument; it is hard to find a better engineered product at this price point and a vehicle that does what it is supposed to do, period. One negative item... Check the undercarriage; my Canadian made CRV had numerous rust spots on the suspension parts, such as bolts, struts and bushing brackets (anything made out of carbon steel), It showed evidence that it was driven over salted down road from the factory to the shipping dock, pretty serious rust despite of only having 18 miles driven when i picked it up. This is something that is not very evident when shopping around and easy to ignore due to the "new car fever" and other distractions. The dealer after some "friendly arguing" agreed to remove the rust spots and applied some preservative; the mechanic did a really nice job, helped us and Honda avoid unnecessary repairs/costs in the future. After a thorough inspection a year later, the rust problem is still under control. Another negative item...A month after with roughly 600 miles driven, the battery is dead after the car was parked at the airport for 7 days; a new battery was purchased (was not refunded). Two months after that the battery is again dead, this time in my own garage. This has been the only problem. A very positive item...Took the car to the dealer and they quickly fixed the problem by re-loading a new version of the software . The car has been parked as long as 10 days a few times, no more dead battery. At two plus years of ownership... Fuel economy (after two years of driving and 58 fill-ups) is now averaging 31 MPG (combined driving), worst (in town only) was 24 MPG, best (highway only) was 39 MPG. After two years, normal fuel economy in town is now up to 26 to 28 MPG. The battery problem never came back, the initial undercarriage corrosion issue is not a problem, now... The korean made tires (Hankook Kinergy GT) became very loud (with slightly less than 14000 miles on the odometer), they drop about 5 PSI in just 30 days and wet traction is still poor. So at 14K miles the Korean tires had to be replaced due to low traction and increased road noise. We still like the car. It is efficient, reliable, very roomy, still looks and runs like new. No visible wear on the leather or other interior fabrics, it still looks like the day we purchased it; same for the exterior, under the hood ,etc. Great product, i would recommend the CRV to any one.

Nice vehicle but no heat in the winter. Gasoline in the oil and now oil changes every month! Updates to the vehicle and Honda has treated us well!
