This is a great mid-sized SUV. I thought at first I would miss having my Malibu, but after only a week, this is the best car I have ever owned.

electronics have a mind of their own

A great car overall in all aspects - comfort, economy, handling, etc. But, I find the electronic features often have a mind of their own. I'm driving down the freeway with no other cars within a hundred yards of me and all of a sudden the orange "brake" warning light comes on. It goes off within a second or two. Also, driving along, the left turn blinker light in the left side mirror goes on and the warning beeper sounds. I haven't touched the turn signal lever and there are no cars to my left - zip, nada. Again, the light and sound go off in a couple of seconds. The brake thing has happened twice in the ten months or so I've owned the vehicle and the turn signal thing happens about once a week. In addition to these issues, twice I've had the "low tire pressure" light go on, the first time causing me to get off the freeway only to find the tires all look perfectly fine. I put a spritz of air in them and re-set the warning light and all is well until the same thing a few months later. I think there's either a malfunction or the sensor is too sensitive to a loss of 1 or 2 psi. The most recent kerfuffle was finding all four windows down and the sunroof wide open upon going out to my car in the morning. I've since learned that it's an issue with my key fob - holding down the unlock button too long - I guess something pushed against it while it was in my pocket. Overall, I have to say it's a great car and I'm glad I bought it but the electronic features are a nuisance, especially the "safety" issues that put me into a near panic mode thinking I'm missing something when there's nothing there to miss. I'm also disappointed there is no cd player. Come on Honda, you can do better. Updated review. There are now 13,000 miles on the vehicle and the electronics issues stated above seem to have repaired themselves - only one fake turn signal light and no fake brake warning light. The tire pressure light was my fault - there was a nail in the tire and no more issues once I got the tire repaired. I have some mild concern about the reports of gas in the engine oil that is causing some recalls but my vehicle hasn't had any of those issues yet. So far, it's still a great car and I'm glad I bought it. A new wrinkle. I've always noticed there is a time delay between putting the car in "drive" and the transmission actually engaging. The delay isn't long, maybe a second or so. It was never a problem until a few days ago when I was on a steep hill. Without thinking, I put the car in drive, stepped on the gas and discovered how far a car can roll back in that one second delay. Of course I now know better but I've never had that problem with other cars including other Hondas. Also, I don't use half the electronic dash features nor have I consistently figured out how to reset displays, etc. It's all trial and error for me. Of course being in my 70s and electronically challenged, it's mostly my fault I suppose. I just wish new cars were simpler. Otherwise the Honda is going fine - no problems (except the occasional light glitches mentioned above. Latest update, still have my Honda and it's running great. No new issues except the plastic button on the gear shift broke. I taped it together and drove to a dealer (Dublin Honda, CA) and they replaced it at no cost. Overall a great car and the earlier issues seem to have gone away. Latest update: Still going strong - no issues except for that darn tire pressure warning. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

I love this new 2017 CRV. The driving is very comfortable and the gas mileage is much better comparing to my 2016 Subaru Forester. The great thing about this CRV is that it has the option of Econ mode. This mode gives me roughly 30 MPG in mixed driving. Mind you that Econ mode still gives you the performance when needed. But you need to punch it in. When you are in regular mode, the acceleration is pretty good, feels sporty and great handling. Depending on the mood of the day, I can switch to different mode.

2017 redesigned CRV is right on the mark. I highly recommend the EXL model; it is loaded with the latest technology and features. The safety features are one of the main reasons I purchased a new vehicle. The CRV is practical, economical yet fun and easy to drive. Expect to enjoy this vehicle for many years to come.

We own the touring with power pass front seat. Seat does not go up and down and sits too low and is very hard not like the drivers 6 way power seat. Also hard to get in and out of the pass seat. We would not have purchased this vehicle if we had known that the pass seat was not like the drivers seat. We had a 2013 Chevy Equinox with both power front seats and they were great but no pickup in that model. The new ones have a 1.5 liter. turbo engine. We are thinking of trading this in for the Chevy Equinox and the CR-V has only 2600 miles on it.
