Best four cylinder I have ever owned

Great car for the money and very stylish. The safety features are great but take some getting used to if you never had them in a vehicle before. The new size of the CRV is very roomy and the turbo is a must

Great value and performance

I purchased a 2017 2WD EXL CRV and so far I'm really enjoying it. This car has a lot of features, comfort, technology and the Turbo engine really is evident! The Honda sensing package is included which is a great value.

My first new car in 8 years

It is hard to rate since I have only had the car for one week but so far I'm happy with it; I like all the safety features.

Great Driving Experience

Although we have had the car only a few days, the experience has been wonderful so far. There are many features on the display screen and learning all the capabilities has been straight forward to this point. The owners manual is easy to follow. The paperwork to purchase the vehicle was clearly explained as we went through the process. The interior room and storage features are a great selling point.

Sleek Stylish Ride

The 2017 Honda CRV is pure joy to drive. Quality is evident. Easy to handle and loaded with safety features. Top notch technology. All the bells and whistles in one excellent vehicle.

Fabulous vehicle

So glad I bought this car. I passed up on a similar vehicle that would have cost less in the end because of 0% financing. Worth it.

Love my CRV

This car is amazing. I had the opportunity to compare it with the Toyota Rav 4 prior to my purchase, as I had a rental for 2 weeks. There is no comparison. In my opinion the CRV out performs he Rav 4 on all levels. My only complaint about the vehicle is the stock tires have limited traction, and will be replacing them sooner than later.

Love it!

I've put 7,500 miles on our Touring edition in just under 10 weeks, during an icy Wisconsin winter. I drive 57 miles one-way to work, so I was looking for the stability of AWD with gas mileage that wouldn't break the bank. It's exceeded expectations in most respects. It SIPS gas at an average speed of 55-60 mph(I regularly see 36mpg), however once you get into the 70-75 mph on a 4 lane it brings your mileage down to about an average of 26-27 mpg. Still decent for all wheel drive. Since most of my travel is 4-lane highway speeds I'm averaging 26 mpg overall(including break-in time). I've learned a lot of other nuances in these 7500 miles, some to note are: 1) I'm happy with the performance when NOT in Eco mode. I don't even use Eco mode anymore because it feels lethargic. And honestly, I didn't notice much of a difference in mileage when I stopped using it. I think it's a gimmicky feature. 2) I love Honda Sensing, BUT every time we get the smallest amount of wet snow or sleet, the radar gets obstructed and the dash lights up like a Christmas tree with all the systems that no longer function. Honda, WHY wouldn't you connect that radar shield/cover to one of the defrost systems??? Heat that baby up! 3) I don't like the gas cap release on the floor near the hood release. I had an '08 MDX that had it on the door and it was MUCH more convenient, can we make that happen in the CR-V please? Side Note: LOVE that there's no gas cap! 4) The center screen Audio Display has randomly restarted on it's own 3 times in 10 weeks. This display does way more than just control your Audio so I'm nervous how this is going to behave for the long haul. 5) My remote start has a distance of about 50-60 feet, which is effectively useless. I'll be the one parking co-workers in on snowy days. ALSO - Rear doors aren't connected to the keyless system. Can I please touch the rear door handles to unlock ALL doors? 6) More gimmicky features: a) Driver Attention Monitor - I think it's more dangerous trying to get this to work than if it didn't have it at all. b) The Hands Free Tailgate Access kicking motion is not for me. I've gotten it to work a handful of times in practice in my garage, but it never fails when I really need it, it leaves me looking like I'm doing a rain dance behind my vehicle with my hands full of groceries. 7) WHY on EARTH - do Canadians get Justin Trudeau AND a panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel and heated rear seats? While we're stuck with Trump, cold hands and a tiny sunroof? It's a fun car to drive, I'd buy it again. And probably will.

Great Vehicle! Even better features!

Honda really hit the mark with the all new CR-V! All the features and sleek interior design really are elegant. All of the issues I had with the 2015 and 2016 models were properly addressed. Smooth riding, sleek looking, technologically advanced, and most of all affordable.
