I've had my 2017 since April 2017. I'm liking this car more every time I drive it. My wife and I bought it because we wanted something that sits higher than the 2010 Civic it replaced. My first turbo, so I may not know what lag is, but I don't notice any delay in acceleration. I find it has plenty of pep, and I keep it in ECON mode almost all of the time. I don't understand when some people say it's slow. With almost 25,000 miles on the clock, on-board telemetry says 33+ mpg. That's 2/3 city, 1/3 highway miles, so I'm not complaining. I like most of the safety features, the exception being LKAS. It has to "see" the lane lines, so when there's a break for off/on ramps, or driving into the sun, it can't track. And there are times on western freeways when I don't WANT to be in the center of the lane. The adaptive cruise and low speed follow are great. Blind spot monitoring and lane departure have already saved my bacon once or twice. The collision mitigation has warned me to brake a couple of times. My favorite feature is the brake hold, which makes city driving much easier. I feel it is a very safe car. Comfort is good, some might find the seat cushions a bit short, but this is the first car I've owned for many years that I didn't need a folded towel or pillow for lumbar support. This is also my first infotainment system, had to dump both the CDs and the MP3, and got an i-pod. Once I got familiar with the controls, I have no issues. I wouldn't recommend trying to change balance or tone while driving, but those are pretty much set and forget unless there's a whiny passenger in the back seat. The interface with my smart phone works well. I've driven Hondas for 38 years and hope this one is as trouble free as the other three. So far, so good!

We have had two or three Accords and a Civic, but this is our first move into the CR-V and into the EX trim. I love the car. It handles great, and gets better gas mileage than our 2013 Civic! I appreciate the active safety features, which have already come in handy several times. We have just had the car for just over 1800 miles, but our overall mileage during those miles is 34 mpg. Things I would change or add: 1. An interior release for the tailgate (although I suspect there's some ultra cautious safety reason for only opening from the outside or remotely). 2. The interface for the entertainment and vehicle info is a bit slow, and could stand some attention. 3. *Wireless* Apple CarPlay, rather than just via USB. UPDATE after 11,000 miles: 1. The entertainment system has had some issues on cold days. At times, it has not recognized the iPhone plugged in to the CarPlay system. At times, it has simply dropped the connection. When it does that, the Bluetooth gets temperamental as well. 2. The Auto setting for the headlights was just what I wanted, but it too has developed a curious issue. When engaged, the dashboard displays the icon for the headlights, with a capital "A" in the middle. It no longer displays the "A", and indeed does not operate automatically (e.g., auto switching from bright to regular beams), even when set to auto. I will schedule a trip to the dealer when my work schedule lightens up a bit.

I shopped and helped my 97yo grandfather a vehicle with safety features. This car had the best active safety features for under $30k. It will help you stay in your lane (steers you toward the center of the lane). Subaru/Toyota didn't have this feature. The only thing needs improvement is the volume of the beep for blind spot needs to have even louder setting option.

The vehicle looks great! However, the small 1.5L engine feels like it’s struggling at times to pull the weight of the vehicle. The interior looks amazing, but the infotainment system is the biggest piece of trash I’ve ever seen. Screen goes black constantly, touch screen is not responsive at times, and when it is it’s delayed a few seconds. The steering wheel in the EX isn’t leather wrapped, making you feel like you’re gripping a CHEAP piece of plastic. Transmission struggles to keep up compared to the Accord CVT and the Civic CVT. THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE CAR SEAT IVE EVER SAT IN. ONE HOUR INTO A DRIVE AND YOUR BUTT IS NUMB. Be cautious .......

Ford Escape already more-reliable than Honda CR-V

Yes, that's right. People that buy Honda are living with the past now, and future is never any guarantee. In reality, a Ford Escape is rated more-reliable than Honda CR-V now. Check carcomplaints.com and JD Power. Time to go back to American cars... How stupid I am buying a Honda again, when Honda does nothing but cut corners in quality now.
