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.

Not all leather

I felt mislead when I asked the salesmen if the interior seats were all leather. Two salesmen said yes, "all Leather". Not true! In fact the interior of the car is mostly vinyl. Do your research. Honda is now replacing what was mostly leather, with vinyl. Only the middle part of the seats and middle part of the back is leather. But it all looks like leather. Check it out! It still looks nice inside, but don't be fooled. The salesmen should know better than to tell a customer it's all leather. Beware when the car pamphlet says "Leather-trimmed".

CRV finally won me over

In years past, when ever I checked out the CRV, it lost to the Subaru Outback in many areas. However, the 2017 CRV Touring AWD made me switch. At first, I was skeptical of even giving it the once-over, considering the "small" 1.5L turbo engine. I was more than a bit surprised at the excellent performance of this engine, whether on the interstate or traversing the mountains of Vermont. This engine is terrific and you will not want for power. The CRV drives well and is comfortable. My steep off road test seemed to be on par with the symetrical all wheel dirve Subaru, which also surprised me - but winter will be the final test. My gas mileage is about 30 around town and around 33 on the highway. The CRV also seems quieter than my Outback. I had a couple of interesting options installed on my Touring CRV - the sport bumpers and the large body side mouldings. These options give the CRV a much more muscular look. My only real complaint is the itsy-bitsy gas tank - it could use another 4 gallons. Jeepers, Honda ... can't you find a spot for another four gallons? I guess I should also mention the funky two-tier storage arrangement behind the rear seat - what is up with that? I guess it is because of the design of the rear seat - when it folds down, it was at a different elevation (higher) that the storage area, so Honda made it so you could raise the storage floor to be at the same elevation as the folded seat. Update: The intermittent wiper operation has proven to be annoying ... instead of using a strictly time-based wiper delay, the Honda uses a moisture sensor, which is unreliable. Apparently, the wiper is supposed to cycle (on/off/speed) based upon how much moisture is detected on the windshield. Well, sometimes the wiper will not cycle even though the windshield is plastered with rain, while at other times the wiper will shift into high speed when there is almost no water on the windshield - a classic case of "regression thru technology". Bring back the old reliable time-based system!

Only down side is they don't provide a hard copy manual, so if you need to look up something right away, you have to go to the CD they supply. Very inconvenient.

I'm on my third one

2017 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Whether you're coming off of another compact SUV or, like me you're on your third Honda CRV there's nothing bad to say. My first CRV was the second model year that they produced, and I got 230,000 miles on it. My second CRV was a 2002 and I got 240,000 miles on it. I just bought a new 2017, end it feels almost magical. The great thing for most CRV owners is that it mostly stays the same and yet they keep making it better! I think this is the only car I'd ever buy.
