2017 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV w/Navigation (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Love the CR-V, for the money it can't be beat. Hope the reliability of the turbo gets an A+ time will tell. They could have done a better job on the design of the wheels but that's the only thing I don't care for looking at after market.... Update: The navigation is getting a bad rap but I'll tell you what, I just returned from a trip to Nashville and surroundings the nav was spot on, it would have been difficult without it....

Too much road noise, NO CD PLAYER

I never would have bought this vehicle if I knew it didn't have a CD player, which I use to listen to audio books. I retired after 32 years as a state police lieutenant. This car has WAY TOO MUCH ROAD NOISE. When you start going to larger wheels and tires, especially at highway speeds, you absolutely have to have superior insulation and probably add "touring" tires, with less roll resistance. I traded in a 2012 Chev Impala with 34K, since I had a state police 2006 take-home Impala, and both these cars were quiet. This car sounds like it has snow tires on it.

Shopping for mid sized SUV gave the CRV a look.

There are several problems this car has in our view and a big part is value and over all performance. Almost pulled the trigger on another SUV but little lady saw this car and wanted to check it out. Aside from the fact the dealer apprised our car for $2000 less the anyone else the vehicle just could not compare to the mid size SUV's we were considering. Hated the CVT transmission and the engine made cheap 4 cyclinder sounds. Too much road noise and the worst sound system we had sampled and yes I adjusted it every way possible. Not a bad car and probably the best compact SUV out there but with the incentives and deep discounting going on in the mid sized market suggest you look around at what you can buy up market from this vehicle. Little to no discount or incentives makes this thing look over priced to us.

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.
