124K miles on my 09' CRV and not one issue... Amazing reliability.

Nice review, Mr. Wardlaw! I just love the very descriptive words you always seem to incorporate in your videos! Also, I love how concise you leave your reviews! The CRV seems like a pretty neat offering in the class, and based off of your experience it seems like it can hold the place for one of the best in its class! I cannot wait until I can review the CRV, myself! Keep up the great work!😉 -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"

Trading in my 2012 CR-V for the 2017 as soon as I can, the hardest part will be choosing the right color.

Would love to pickup one in lunar silver metallic touring!

Came for the car stayed for Chris!

Thanks for a great review. I love my 2016 CR-Vs lane watch assist because I can see pedestrians or bicyclists on a right turn. I wish it was on the driver’s side too. Now I know it’s gone for good. I will keep my 2016 for now. (2021 💔)

Mr wardlaw. this new CRV vs Kia Sorento. which one u prefer? you say you like both. thanks

Rode in one a few days ago. Found the ride to be a bit firm and engine was a little unrefined on acceleration. Maybe im just used to my 17 year old Lexus with 16 inch wheels, fat tires, and buttery V6. Super practical, well made, and spacious though.

I went to the 2017 Los Angeles Car Show, walked around and every SUV I climbed into, nothing felt as good as the Honda CR-V, the only SUV that came close was the Volvo XC60, different class but a lot of the luxury brands got cheap depending upon name and less in aesthetics. Not sure about reliability on the Volvo but on the Honda this says it right. I like the way Honda works, only 4 trims no options. Base model LX, EX comes with everything but leather (cloth seats just as comfortable) and the lift gate EX-LX leather, push button lift gate, Touring foot-gate, navigation (though EX and above get Apple/Android and your choice of nav including Google Maps, Waze, etc. It was no surprise that Motortrend named this 2018 SUV of the Year.

Chris you are the best at this.

I'm just watching to find out if the passenger seat is height adjustable.

I just bought a Honda CRV EX 2017. it does have vibration issue like 2015 model. check before buy.

I too noticed lower mileage in my 2017 CRV initially. Now after 1500 miles, it averages around 28.5mpg for a combination of city and highway

Honda CR-V...The King!

I think Honda cut their own throats. I was going to trade my 2014 CRV-LX for a 2017 CRV EXL, unfortunately the only engine I could get was a Turbo except on LX. I was also going to buy my wife an Accord 2018 and it also comes with Turbo. I am a die hard fan of the reliable 2.4 and the 3.0 engine by owning several in the past. There is no way that I am going to get into Turbo. I tested drove a CRV and there was a noticeable Turbo lack. I didn't have a chance to drive at high speed to test the power coming out of a hole but I am sure it will be disappointing. Honda haven't realized that their cars were sold on reliability, not MPG. Instead of trying to add 20 more HP or torque to the 2.4 engine (200/200) or add 3.0/3.5 option, they went for fuel economy. I would buy a RDX V-6 for me and a Camry for my wife instead.

It also needs more color selections, most available would look right at home in a funeral procession. How's about some brilliant oranges, bright greens , neon yellows. Anything but boring silver, black, white, scab red and deep forest green.

you are right about not getting the mpg. i have noticed that on my crv 2017. mileage is less than advertised.

On the gas mileage: Do you think the below E.P.A. estimates is because of the hilly, non-highway terrain you were driving through? Just a thought

Another excellent review. I can attest to Honda/EPA overstating mpg. My late model Accord 4cyl is grossly overstated by the EPA per the onboard trip computer.

Just bought one to drive around my 2 big dogs. My EX has so many features. Still would rather have a new Element as it was easier to load the dogs.

1. Seems like the higher altitude would impact fuel economy. 2. More subscription services? No thanks. Honda Sensing is pretty damn good, don't see the appeal or understand what's missing.

I feel like I'm watching an old kung fu movie....whats with the delay in the voice to lip moving. Lololol

I'm with you on the new instrumentation: give me a good, old round analog speedometer and tachometer any day. I'm not liking the new gauge design at all on the 2017 model.

Chris you never get the EPA’s estimated fuel economy of the EPA even exists anymore! But I assume you drive like us the normal people. Nice review.

Fantastic review!

I have a 2016 CRV EX AWD and I was only manage to get 26-27 MPG mix so not as specified.

Any plans to update for 2020 model? 2017 is 3 years old now

Are those EPA mpg numbers with the Econ mode and how badly will Sport mode kill that efficiency?

Sweet dad outfit bro

Plzzzzz Christian do a review of the new Kia Sportage. I'm having a tough time deciding between the croc and sportage

Has Honda announced a fix for their brake pads and the shaking at idle for the crv

Honda is on it these days with their new products. We'll see how they counter the new Camry. I thought they did had a radio knob on these though.

Handles well because Takaaki Nagadome lead the development of this current generation. He was the lead engineer of the original NSX's chassis. Yep, there is too much engineering, talent and experience involved in developing this CRV.

Perfect Review!

Not the most attractive but it is practical! Best seller! Hard not to buy!

@2:46 What do you mean a CVT powers the car unless you choose 4wd? I thought there's only one choice of automatic?

Does anyone know what the carrying capacity is (weight)?

Looks good

Some reviews claim the cabin is loud like so many Honda's. Is this what you'd encountered?

This or Ford Escape titanium?

What does "optional AWD" mean? Like you can disengage it just like a conventional 4WD?

Your claim that Lane Keeping Assist System was removed is not true.

Is this Rich Rebuilds? I AM CONFUSED!

Great review Chris! Would you mind commenting on the adequacy of the 1.5l engine and the durability of the CVT.? I want to get an EX but found out they have deleted the CD player. Why would they do this? It's such a great looking vehicle now from all angles except for those wheels.

I wish they would have a engine from Accord 2L turbo 252hp 10speed!!!!))) Think about that Honda !!!!

So... the 1.5 turbo costs more, adds complexity with great probability of future problems, and in your test doesn't improve gas mileage. If I don't live in Denver, why would I want the turbo again? Can you get the naturally aspirated engine in the higher trim levels?

I really like my crv and it is fast

just because the price is below average is does not mean it is cheap. luxury cars drive the average upward and thus the average price of new car is not representative of the average new non luxury new car price.

Honda rules

I'd be on board if it had ventilated seats and at least offer the pano roof.. Such a disappointing oversight to me considering they added things like rear foot activated lift gate. Especially considering competitors offer it and this is an entirely new generation.

Wow, I'd love to see you review a Tesla Model X. Now get ready for some real whining!

next time turn ur mic up

He changed the shirt almost didn't recognize him

too bad we can't get the 2.4L here in canada

Just about perfect? As the X-Files say "I want to believe". Why is there no mention of the interior sound level? Is the car quiet? I want a quiet car where I can hold a conversation with my spouse and not raise my voice. How's this car for sound? A perfect car would be quiet. Very quiet. And I'd give up a passenger side height adjuster for it. I'd pay more for it. Why is this not an important attribute in a car review? I don't understand.

Amen to your nagging about the fuel economy. Car manufacturers SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE for their misleading fuel economy ratings. Especially honda saying this crv gets 27 in the city. I'm getting 24 at its best. "Impact them where it hurts". In this case, lower their car value over time. They will do something when it hurts.

Any 2017 crv owner encountered any vibration issue? www.crvownersclub.com/forums/137-2017-present-official-specs-features-etc-gen-5/128729-2017-cr-v-touring-vibration.html

Oh no your wrong the 2016 handles better and has better steering fell Try to kick that gas pedal down at 55 to pass someone it ain't going anywhere yes front display is hard to see and harder in the sun light . I got 600 mile on my 2017 touring , did not pay attention to the cheap 18 inch tire on it they have to come off. Why put halogen fog light when all other bulbs are LED . Why the sun-visors don't slide out to block sunlight on front windows Why only 1 seat back holder thing ( I forget the name of that ) My wife wears a size 6 shoe , I is ridicules and silly to watch her try to open the rear hatch by kicking her feet under the rear , it wont work for her . The wife has the 2016 EX L with Nav we love it, why 2016 door fell heaver 2017 door are even bigger , 2016 had fake chrome door handles in side 2017 has fake cheap plastic door handles the chrome looked much better why it the 2017 gear selector so like loose and cheap felling , In our opinion Honda has taken the CRV in the wrong direction just base on two thing 1 handing 2 steering fell Just a thought the Honda sensing is going to get someone hurt it is not reliable works some times and you have to pay attention to the speed your at , and the time you need it the most say like in heavy rain it shut down

it's was my phone

Dont buy honda crv 2017 and 2018. Serious heating issues, Honda shamefully handled this horribly. Shame on you honda. These are on spot reviews. To find more you have to do detail consumers report. www.cbc.ca/news/business/honda-crv-civic-heater-1.5960676

lol "sized larger" its actually smaller than the rogue
