Update 2/1/19 figured out that gas is mixing with and have always noticed oil is very high on dipstick and runny oil smells of gas. Contacted dealer said there is a open recall on this problem and is a software update and got an appointment to do this. Scared its not going to help. Dont recommend this engine.

I bought my car in March 21 2017 , great car until now I am disappointed with Honda repair service, they can’t figure out the problem I’m taking my car in for the second time in this month. I hope the issue gets taken care.

Doesn't compare to my (previous) Chrysler 300

The good - I love the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping features. The car handles well for an SUV with a high center of gravity, and it has a tight turning circle radius. The auto-walkaway locking system is nice - it just locks itself if you forget, and walk away. The sound system is not very good, certainly not like any of the name-brand ones, as in other brand cars. The road noise is vary loud, and may be due, in part, to the tread pattern on the tires. My back-up sensors work fine, but the warning speaker is in the rear of the car, and the volume (not adjustable) is so low the it cannot be heard over normal conversation in the front seats. I have the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems in my car, but they are inoperative even though they're turned ON - *another* dealer visit soon. And, if they did work, the manual lists so many exceptions that their usefulness is uncertain. My mileage, in ECO (economy) mode is around 30 mpg, with the 1.5 liter turbo engine. The same mileage that I got in my big Chrysler 300 with a 3.8 liter non-turbo V-6. And the Chrysler was way quieter inside. I'll probably be looking at ways to add soundproofing to this car in the near future - it needs it. All that being said, I like the car - mine is the Obsidian Blue color - I didn't get the Lava (which looks really nice in the brochure) because I couldn't see one in person (none on the lot). One really bad thing I have discovered is the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It uses the axle speed sensors used by the abs system. As the Honda book states - all four tires must be the same "brand, model, size, and of equal wear". So, if you, like I had to do, have to replace just one tire, it will not be identical to the others, and the TPMS warning system will constantly alert and alarm. This CANNOT be reset or turned off. I have confirmed this with Honda. This means that, if you need to replace ONE tire, you MUST replace ALL FOUR. Update: After a year with this car, the mileage is now around 37 mpg, it's still very noisy, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) is still inoperative and the dealer can't (won't) fix it. The fit and finish seem to be holding up quite well. Mileage on the car is now 13,000. This is my first car with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and I love it. Also, while driving in ACC mode, the CMBS works, but not otherwise (advertising to the contrary).

Love the CR-V, for the money it can't be beat. Hope the reliability of the turbo gets an A+ time will tell. They could have done a better job on the design of the wheels but that's the only thing I don't care for looking at after market.... Update: The navigation is getting a bad rap but I'll tell you what, I just returned from a trip to Nashville and surroundings the nav was spot on, it would have been difficult without it....

May new Honda CRV EXL Is Somewhat Of A Disapointme

My new 2017 Honda CRV EXL is somewhat of a disappointment because : A. It didn’t come with roof rails and crossbars, B. Back window on rear hatch doesn’t open, C. I don’t like there climate control , when using autostart during the winter at times my fan speed that I set on high does not always engage on high. I’ve called Honda Customer Service in the past about goodwilling and installing new roof rails and crossbars and the person I spoke with could care less telling me that it was my problem. All CRV’s should come with a roof rack especially if the rear window doesn’t open.
