It's Still Brand New and We Love It

We recently purchased a brand-new 2017 CR-V. We did TONS of research to choose her new car (replacing a mini-van) - test drove multiple examples - shopped the market extensively and finally got it for the price we wanted. The EX has everything she wants - and is missing nothing. Most notably - it seems that anything you may have felt Honda should have done to improve on this already near perfect compact SUV was implemented in this model year. My wife is thrilled to drive it every day - and is constantly finding new and exciting features. Good job Honda - we are NOT an easy sale. . . and we are SOLD!

Great car!

Seems solid, very responsive and roomy. Like the sporty look too. Big improvement over early CRVs. I would recommend the EX over entry level LX. EX comes loaded with a more powerful and economical turbo charged engine. It also includes features like heated seats, heated mirrors and a moon roof.

Sizable redesign gives value and safety

Hey safe, reliable, tech savvy small SUV. Performance is acceptable as his comfort. Lots of safety features and great gas mileage round out the vehicle.

Comparison to our 2013 RAV4

Lots of similarities to our previously owned RAV4. Safety, driving comfort and appeal are a plus on the CRV.. The one downside that both my wife and myself noticed and miss is the lack of degree of tilt for the steering wheel.

Best vehicle I've owned

Had to purchase a vehicle as my daughter was getting my '11 Accord. Wanted a suv and did tons of research and test driving. Kept coming back to the CRV! Handles great, get great gas mileage, comfortable for long drives, stylish and plenty of room in the front and back rows as well as in the cargo area. Got the EXL with Navi and couldn't be happier!

Honda defines reliable in their SUV's.

I own a 2017 CR-V Touring model and believe this to be the best CR-V Honda has built. My previous (2007) CR-V was a very dependable and reliable vehicle but the 2017 CR-V is technologically superior to my previous SUV. If you are looking to buy a SUV, I highly recommend taking a Honda CR-V out for a test ride.

The most comfortable and reliable car I ever owned

This car meets all of my needs and more than I expected. The ride is smooth and excellent, it has plenty of leg and trunk + height space. Out of all the cars I drove or owned this one is the best ..

Roomy small SUV

Available AWD is a must for our climate AND the interior room, especially in the rear seat, is excellent. We are downsizing from a Honda Odyssey (still love the minivan, but now we are empty nesters) AND we loved the seat height for the driver....Seems very similiar to the Odyssey, so visibility in traffic is great!

My Fourth CRV

This is my fourth CRV. I bought it primarily for its safety features which are outstanding. Comfort also is outstanding. But, I had difficulty with the phone interface. I could not record a voice tag for one name even though I could for others. Was told that the microphone is super sensitive - perhaps too much. I had to turn off the AC fan, close the windows, minimize all noise. After that, I was successful but with a different version of the name. However, road noise made it difficult to use that same voice tag to make a call. Resorted to using the touch screen. Was not at all pleased. I never had a voice tag problem like that with my 2012 CRV. Then, while driving with my linked IPhone, I received a call that I chose not to answer - did not select Ignore, just let it continue until it stopped. The screen interface froze. Nothing I tried could unfreeze it until I stopped. Even shifting to Park did not help. I had to turn the car off and restart it to unfreeze it. I then tried unsuccessfully to reproduce the problem using my wife's phone to make the call. I was told to re-Pair the phone to see if that fixes it. Fortunately, I do not use the car phone interface often. But, I have only had the car for less than two weeks.

Very Good All Around Car

Really good car looks good and you get a lot for your money. The front and back seats could be a little softer.
