I would buy this car again!

August 2017 I was mourning the loss of my 2002 Suzuki XL 7. A 17 gal gas tank accompanied by 6 cylinder engine this car took me 187Thousand PLUS mils on nothing but oil changes and new tires. Doing my research I found the 2017 Honda CR V. Reported to have a 14 gal gas tank and 194 horse power. Lots of CR V's on the road; with only 1 exception all owners LOVE their CR V (all model years). The only exception is/was me. The window design is the new sweeping arch that does not allow entry into the front seats without bending the neck UNLESS the seats can be adjusted (this only available on some models) The gas tank won't take more than 12 gal to fill; the cabin noise was worse than my 2002 Suzuki; to get on the freeway turning off the ECO feature the engine "studdered"; BOTH exhaust pipes had rusty welds. The car had been "thrown" together and not thoroughly prepped before handing it over to me. I LOVE my new 2018 Honda CR V. There is a WORLD of difference between the two cars. I would buy this one again where I could not wait to get rid of the 2017 that I owned for 13 1/2 months. This engine FEELS like it can get out of the way; can't say about the fuel tank yet; the cabin is quieter; the whole car feels heavier, more capable to meet whatever meets us on the road or in town traffic. With the electric seats I can get in without bending my neck (which has 5 screws in it) Shocking that the same weld on the exhaust pipes are STILL rusty. The driver assist programs in BOTH models are very valuable to seasoned drivers as well as newbees. I am not typically a joiner, however I can say I am glad I joined the CR V family of very satisfied owners.

Great quality car, beautiful interior.

The suv is very stylish, great power with the turbo engine, and very good on gas. Comfortable seats, good leg room, and plenty of toys and whistles.

Didn't trade Down!

I recently traded out of a Cadillac and wanted an SUV. I decided on the Honda CRV. I was afraid that I would feel like I traded down in luxury to gain space & mileage, however, that was NOT the case. I love my Honda. It feels very luxurious and is super quite. I enjoy the extra space and love the way it looks!

Technology in this vehicle is superior.

Vehicle design is smooth and eye catching. Very little road noise. Lots of power with the 4 cylinder turbo. Transmission shifts smoothly. Technology options are superior.

Love my new car

After having a Toyota Sienna for 15 years, that I absolutely loved, I knew it was time to consider a new vehicle. I looked at the Subaru Forester and the Toyota RAV4 and wasn't blown away by either. From the moment I sat in the Honda CR-V, I was hooked. The extras you get from the CR-V are totally worth it. It handles beautifully and I love the look of it. As of this review I have had the car for less than a week, so I can't talk reliability, but I'm hooked.

Love CR V EX-L

This is my second CR V EX L. Last one was totaled. So sad. But this new 2018 CR V EX L is so much fun. Learn something new something new each day. Love the seat warmers and leather. I went with the dark olive metallic. I love the color. It is my very favorite car.

Good vehicle

This car is definitely good. Having plenty of space with Honda Sensing safety feature. Only thing which I feel is missing in EX variant is heated mirrors.

Lots of room and super comfortable!!

I wanted cup holders to be side by side, not front to back, I love the way they arranged the gear shifter to make that happen. My husband, 6 feet 245 and another guy 6'5 250, bot got in back seat with center console down and had plenty of room!! Love it
