Positive Review
We bought a 2017 CRV touring about 2 weeks ago. Took a trip to Jacksonville Florida from Maryland last week. Round trip was about 1500 highway miles. Its winter so no AC was used. We have 2200 miles on it right now and we are getting 26.1 mpg and its going down. Its suppose to get 29 combined. 26 is not bad but when your expecting 29 its not good. We traded a 2016 CRV in and that was getting 24, it was suppose to get 27. We love everything else about it. The redesign inside and out is so much better than the 2016. It looks like a real SUV now. The leather seats are very comfortable. There is plenty of room in the backseat. There are a lot of nice safety features But if your looking for the 29mpg i dont think you will get it.

Critical Review
During the first 3000 miles I would have rated the CRV excellent in most categories. It is comfortable and roomy for both myself at over 6 feet tall, and my wife at 5 feet tall. The acceleration and gas mileage (25mpg around town) are both very good. I miss having a heated steering wheel and vented seats, which are not available on the CRV. However, at 3200 miles a serious engine problem showed up. At 70mph the car suddenly slowed, lost power, the check engine light came on, and multiple electrical systems reported malfunctions in the dash display. The car was towed to the Honda dealer and diagnosed with excess gas (approximately one quart) in the oil. The oil and filter was changed as a temporary solution, and a tech line case was opened with Honda. I was told at this time there is no permanent recall or fix. I was advised that this is a known problem in cold climates where the car is used for short drives and does not warm up completely. Since then I have learned that all CRVs with the 1.5 liter turbocharged engine have been recalled in China for the same problem. If you live in a cold climate I would not recommend this car at this time.

Uses regular gas.
I bought a 2017 Honda CRV. The leather is in excellent condition. Lots of whistles and bells and they all work. It is bright red and looks so cheery.
Recall on fuel pump
Great, spacious, reliable, super in city mileage (34-36 mpg) 40 plus on hiway. Never selling this one!
This is my 6th Honda in a line of reliable and economical cars. I am currently averaging 36 MPG in ECO mode! It's reliable, spacious, economical, and safe. No wonder these have the highest resale value of SUV's. The only slight downside is getting oil changes at 5000 mile intervals. There is no oil dilution problem, and the car feels new after 80k miles. 190 HP helps get you onto the highway. Seats are comfy and safety features are what sold the car. I use LKA and ACC all the time, and the rear cross traffic alert is helpful. Sound system is good, and the car handles the car plays. My color is diamond pearl white, which has a creamy and sparkly look in the sun, just gorgeous. The sunroof is a nice touch, although I rarely use it in FL. Very satisfied.
i have report about seat belt . it was not work to roll up for safety . sometime stuck and i have been work to make lose and smooth seat belt had bang power and it was not work they put strong tape to stop light on " door is open " it is back again "" door is open " i dont understand why . man did report and request to repair or replace switch . it is failed and i looked and they put different tape it is not work good . i read the report and did not say about power switch for door on my driver door . what you will do ? i rather to have both men to see it 1.Mehdi laiami and Richard Johnson , i could not find blue print this car . 2 plastic headlight is going to change from clear to fog .. My brother in law and sister said that you get another car . i told them no and not now
Nice looking, lots of room
Poor Reliability
Son purchased a 2017 CRV in 2020. Sensor issues abound and Honda has been less than responsive. Reddit has 70 pages of complaints about the issue, yet there is no recall. No fix and $2300 later car still has the issue. Honda Dealership didn't know what was wrong. Non-Honda mechanics recommend trading in. This is the 5th Honda in our family. Have to say how disappointed in Honda I am. My 2015 Accord will be replaced soon, Toyota may be the path I go down
Gas mileage, range of features, spacious backseat, easy car seat install
Mediocre sound system, seats are on the firm side
Got the Touring model which I definitely recommend. I am really happy with the simple infotainment set-up and reference on the screen in front of the steering wheel, honestly don't know what that is called. Car seat install is super easy. The shoulder belt in the middle backseat is great and love that you can retract it into a little storage thing in the back if you want. Slightly more road noise than others I test drove but not frustratingly so. The memory seats are AWESOME, especially being coded to the two different fobs - if you have two different height drivers in your house this is crucial (IYKYK). Only two downsides I've found: Speakers are very basic, if you are wanting an epic system this isn't the one for you. Have had cushier seats in my life but the amount you can adjust them helps.
Amazing car! No oil dilution brakes got to 56000 before needing new pads doesn’t even crank just immediately starts! Radio can be buggy but other than that amazing car
This is a mighty fine Honda. Rides Great, Drives Great, Looks Great. Set in the Garage when not in use. Has less than 35k of miles. Serviced on a regular schedule. Never smoked in ever. Driven by seniors.
