Good money for the car! A lot of options out there. Find what is best for you! But I found the performance to be decent, loved the styling inside and out, and was very practical. Great feature set for the money. Interior quality is great, very nice materials. Some cons include the entertainment system but CarPlay is good. Another con is the auto headlights and auto wipers which don't seem as automatic as they as should be. LED headlights are very nice and improve visibility. City fuel becoming does not seem realistic at all! But highway is as expected.

Well I am a Honda girl, it started with my 2005 CRV that took me 120,000 miles with just one issue, a rear caliper and continued on when we traded it for a leased 2014 model. The lease was up in a couple months so my husband and I decided to test drive the newly released 2017. We LOVED it! Purchased and drove it home that day!! WOW what a difference 3 years makes! Whenever my husband is in this vehicle he comments on how much better this CRV is compared to our last ones. The heated leather seats are so much more comfortable than previous ones, the interior has finally been upgraded to more quality materials and it shows. Love the feel of the steering wheel, the leather accents are wonderful. The ride is much quieter and more comfortable. I was impressed with how much less road noise this model has. LOVE the automatic high beams !!! Never have to remember to turn them on and off anymore, I was skeptical on how well they would adjust automatically but I am amazed at how perfectly they do the job. NO GAS CAP to fight with anymore, that's a great feature too! Love the auto tailgate, FINALLY!! I was originally considering buying smaller SUV but test drove the HRV months ago and wasn't impressed with the power it had. This is definitely the largest CRV to date and the extra room in back seat is obvious to all. Our Goldendoodle is usually the only one back there and she seems pretty happy with it ;) It did take me a bit to get used to all the new tech though. There is so much more to learn when driving these new tech savoy vehicles, but I am impressed with all of it! Honda did an amazing job of taking the dependable but kinda boring CRV and raising it to a whole new level! Lots of comfort and charm, LOVE it! 22 Month Update; STRESSED OUT! I have loved this CRV since the second I test drove it. Loved it still until 3 days ago while researching newer CRV reviews at Edmunds.com I came across the issue the Turbo engine is having with gas mixing in with the oil and obviously infiltrating the engine. I grabbed a rag and went to garage and was heartbroken when I saw the oil level over an inch higher than it should be! Then I smelled it and sure enough there was gas present in the oil. I went to my local Honda dealer the next morning (where we have purchased 4 vehicles over the last 13 years) with pictures of my oil level on the dipstick and with information from Consumer Reports describing this issue and what we should do. Well I expected an apology and a "yes we will gladly change your oil at Honda's expense" but that is NOT what happened. First I was told it didn’t look like a Honda Dipstick... WHAT? I was dumbfounded by that comment. Then I was told I was going to have to pay for it. WOW! The service manager ended up covering my cost as he knew I was upset. I was told there is no fix for this issue yet but they are working on it. Well THANKS HONDA for standing behind your product and for not taking any actions to help your trusting customers who paid a good amount of money on your vehicles and now have a major problem with them. I was a diehard Honda girl, this is my third CRV and it is stressing me out knowing I am driving and paying for a vehicle that is most likely being damaged as I drive it. I called and filed a case with Honda America requesting they cover my CRV for more frequent oil changes until there is a fix for this issue. They stated they would be contacting my Honda dealer and would call me back with their decision in 1-2 days. Today is day 3 and no call yet! The rep was very sympathetic and stated they are fully aware of this problem and are working on a fix. Unless they install a new engine in mine I will not be satisfied. Why did China recall and ban the sale of these Turbo engines once they were aware of the issue but here in the U.S. we haven't even been made aware of this serious issue by Honda or their dealerships? I would bet the Honda tech who did my first oil change was aware my CRV had gas in the oil when done last year. I would have had more respect for Honda had they been up front and honest about this as soon as they were aware of the problem. This will be my last Honda. UPDATE: As of June of last year, we no longer own this CRV. Settled our lawsuit and sold it to a dealer a day later.

Owned my 2017 CR-V EX for about 2 months now and been really happy with it so far. Got over 3,300 miles on it with no issues. Fuel economy has been great so far and the cap-less gas tank is really convenient. I had to replace my 2012 Acura MDX after an accident and was worried that I would miss the larger and more powerful vehicle but after driving the CR-V, I was very happy with the performance. I also currently own a 2010 CRV and the 2017 is a huge improvement over the older models. If you're looking for advanced safety features, then be sure to give the CRV a try.

I switched brands from Chrysler to Honda - based on their reliability ratings. Well let me tell you, throw those ratings right out the window. I traded in a Ram1500 and a Jeep Compass for TWO Honda CR-V's. One is an LX, other is an EX, both AWD. The EX has already experienced a dead battery - left me stranded after only 6 weeks of ownership, something that has never happened to me before in all my years of driving, and I am 64 years old. The dealer replaced the battery, but I still feel like something else might be wrong - - the electronic dashboard keeps doing goofy things. Also, this vehicle is plagued my countless rattles. The other one - the LX, is also plagued by countless rattles, and is at times, hard to start. The only good things I can say at this time, is the vehicles are roomy, and do get good MPG's. I personally prefer the 2.4 engine in the LX, over the 1.5 turbo in the EX. For Honda's so called great reputation, I am highly DISSAPPOINTED, in these 2 CR-V's. I wish I would have stuck with Chrysler products. My recommendation is do not buy Honda.

I bought my car in March 21 2017 , great car until now I am disappointed with Honda repair service, they can’t figure out the problem I’m taking my car in for the second time in this month. I hope the issue gets taken care.
