Now 7 years old. Overall very good. Had 3 fill ups in a row over 42 MPG (local driving is mainly 45 mph). Bug is main display about monthly beeps and tries to change what is displayed. Appear to be related to how sun hits the screen. Helps to keep screen clean. Rumors about fuel deletion led me to get an oil analysis. At almost 5,000 miles oil was at 40% on car, rate was a low .05%. Not an issue.

My last five cars were Toyotas and this is my first Honda. I only have 800 miles, but am very happy with just about every thing. A little cautious of the cvt tranny, would be more comfortable with a 6 or 7 speed. So far I would highly recommend this car to just about anyone. My dealer, Huggins Honda in a Fort Worth suburb, has been spot on with everything. Very transparent during the entire process and exceeded my price expectations.

Simply put, this is a tremendous vehicle. I drove it across Wyoming and E. Idaho not too long ago, where the two lane highways carry lots of truck traffic in both directions. I had to hustle to get around an enormous 18 wheeler before meeting a line of oncoming trucks. I accelerated briskly, but didn't realize my speed until I got around the big rig, and when I got there I glanced at the speedo and was doing well over 90mph and climbing. That's a lot of moxie for a pocket-sized engine, and it got there with seeming ease of effort. I was suitably impressed, but even more so by the fact that my gas mileage was 37mpg. I traded my much lived 2016 Prius in on the Honda when my bum hip stopped me from getting in and out without a lot of contortions. No problems now! In short, this is the best auto I could have imagined for the money... I just hope that I'm not one of the unlucky owners who claim to be getting gas mixed in with the oil. Right now, it's #1 on my list of many new autos purchased. Update: the more I drive this vehicle, the better I like it! I took another 2,000 mile trip and got over 40 mph going over the highest part of the rockies. I much prefer driving it than my wife's Pilot. It's that good!

We compared Escape and Rav 4 and the Honda was a better value, plus it had safety sensors and other features that were not available on the other vehicles at the time. The Honda had more room in the back seat area. ( more room for Grandkids car seats.)
