Exactly what I thought I was getting. The only things I wish Honda would improve is adding ventilated seats and a gap in the bottom spoke on the steering wheel for those of us who like to have our hand in the center of the bottom part on the steering wheel. Averaging 30 mpg and that's with city driving and 80-ish interstate driving.

Previously, we owned a Honda Pilot Touring, 2009. After 168,000 miles we felt it was time to trade but after children were grown and on their own, we no longer needed the cargo/interior space that the Pilot offered, so we decided to down size to the CRV. Our daughter has driven a CRV for several years so we were familiar with it. This 2018 model is a vast improvement over the 2007 she has. After 10,000 miles we are very impressed. Great fuel economy, plenty of acceleration and overall the new generation CRV is top quality. We were not aware of the fuel/oil dilution problems that have been reported by some owners in colder climates before the purchase and have had no issues with ours. Perhaps being produced mid year in 2018, this model does not have that. I check the oil frequently and have not detected it being over full or having any fuel odor. The servicing dealership has assured me that if this should become a problem, they and Honda will provide a remedy to correct this or any other issues that may arise. Even though the new CRV is smart phone/audio compatible, opting in for the factory navigation was a must for us as we felt we gave up nothing, other than the rear entertainment system, by trading the Pilot. We are only familiar with the EX-L trim version CRV but felt the additional up charge for the Touring model and it's few extra features was not necessary for our needs. We would highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

Aging is not easy but the Honda CRV makes the adjustment smoother. Easy in/out, comfortable seating, legroom front/back, easy access to trunk at a good height, lighted dash, easy to read dash, plenty of storage options, tech made easy, doors open fully so easy for family/dog :) to get in and be buckled into carseat.

Gas mileage is the real deal. Getting easily over 30mpg combined city/highway. We keep it in the economy mode all the time, which doesn't have any zip at all. Ride is very comfortable. Visibility is OK. Radio is just OK quality. Might want to upgrade this if sound quality matters. Fantastic turn radius. Very comfortable seating in the front and back. Cargo area is roomy.

Update, 1/16/19: So I’m at a full stop at a stop sign last month when a car skids into my driver’s side door. $4500 damage, including new door and rocker panel; repairs are taking three weeks. Currently driving a rental Ford Focus and can’t wait to get back into my CR-V! 6000 miles on the vehicle. Still basically love it in every way! Biggest surprise: mileage around town of 30 to 32 in Econ mode. Passengers have commented about the upscale interior and comfort, and how much room there is in the rear seat. Glad I got the NAV. Beautiful display. I like to see where I am so I use it a lot. I use Waze when needed. So much easier to input destination on Waze or Google Maps than on the native Garmin GPS. Apple CarPlay is nice, but I often don’t plug in my phone, especially for short trips. I’m guessing the next generation of CRV will allow for a Bluetooth connection and get rid of the USB cord. Bottom line: After nine months, I still love the vehicle, I’m very happy that I bought it (after months of research), and I believe it is a very fair value for the money. PS The car that struck mine was a subcompact. Damage to both vehicles was pretty severe, but the impact was not sufficient to trigger the side airbag. My driver’s side door took the brunt of the hit and was knocked out of alignment. But I basically felt nothing inside the vehicle and was not injured at all. Congratulations, Honda! Please pass along my thanks to your designers and engineers. Love the way it looks (black exterior with black leather interior). Love the way it rides, handles and performs. Love that it is quiet and feels so solid (CVT much quieter than the CVT in the Rogue I rented for two weeks before buying the CRV). Love the safety features, including the adaptive cruise control. (How do you even do that?). Love the back seats (friends sitting in the back can't believe how much room and comfort it offers). Love the gas mileage so far (around town - driving in econ mode - I'm averaging 32 mph. That's so good that I'm not yet prepared to say it's accurate. (I opted for the slightly better gas mileage of FWD after researching AWD on-line and deciding I didn't need it). How is it even possible to design and produce a 190-hp, turbo SUV that weighs 3300 pounds, goes from 0 to 60 in 7.6 seconds, is this comfortable, quiet and roomy, has this much storage space (76 sq. ft. with back seats down so I can fit my bike in back with no problems), and still get such good mileage on regular gasoline? And I love the many little thoughtful things I can do, like program the doors to lock automatically when I exit the vehicle without having to press the key fob (too much trouble :-)) and being able to view turn-by-turn directions on the dash directly in front of me as I drive. This vehicle is just stunningly good at every level. No wonder it's at or near the top of virtually every reviewer's "top compact SUV" list. (Example: U.S. News: #1 (out of 18 vehicles) in Compact SUVs ; #1 (out of 35) in SUVs with Two Rows; #1 (out of 49) in Crossover SUVs). And for those of you who haven't bought a new car for a few years, you're in for a treat, with Apple Carplay (or Google Play) and all of the new safety technology. Leaving my Jetta after nine years and moving into this CRV is like dying and going to heaven. Love the ease of entry and visibility from the higher seating position. No wonder buyers are abandoning sedans and moving into SUVs. Anyway, this one is a marvel and driving places is fun again. It actually has made my life better, sort of like when I got my first computer in the 80's or my first iPhone in June 2007. So... just in case you missed it... I love my CRV! :-)
