People don't understand the value of those new safety features. My wife argued how I wasted money getting those features in our crossover (16 mkx ). But was very happy on our trip to Canada when we all passed out and the car pulled us back on the road and started buzzing to wake me up.

Great story at the end. Jim is well known for his generosity, and openness to be helpful to all that call on him or his company. We need more Jim's in the world.

Different strokes. My wife bought a 2017 exl. She loves it. She's had CRV's since 1997. We're in our late 50's and early 60's. The CRV is everything we could have wanted. Great for her morning commute. Great for cross country. Went from Kansas to South Dakota. Loved it.

Still laughing with the volume knob joke. Nobody does reviews like you, Tom. Congrats.

The styling changes may seem subtle, but to my eye this is the 1st CR-V brawny enough that dads wouldn't refuse to be seen driving it without passengers. I'm legitimately shocked at the tasteful conservative style of the cabin, too.

i always say, just ask, the worst is they say "no". i always say "please" and "thank you" (sometimes "thank you very much"), please and thank you are the social "lubricant" in this world. i think the supervisors at my new job notice me because i say "thank you" for the smallest thing they do. Tom, you're the perfect gentleman, Costco couldn't resist! LOL thank you for these fine videos :)

I've been looking forward to your review of the New CR-V. Your videos are great and your opinion [review] is respected and valued. I now look forward to test driving the CR-V - Thanks Tom.

One of the best car reviewers out there, straight to the point, funny and explains all the features which are important.

Forgot to mention that here in Canada we also get a panoramic roof :)

The Honda CR-V upgrade to EX makes a lot of sense, when I was at the dealer, they kept pushing the LX model on me most likely because Honda realized they couldn't sell the LX's. I insisted on the EX because of the safety features (and sunroof I'll admit) and already payed off when someone went into my lane quickly without warning the SUV braked urgently without jolting me and the missus.

Honda did a great job with the remake of the CRV. I love the silver color on your test model. Sharp looking crossover.

Always enjoy your reviews! Nice job Tom.

This review has so much good information. 1) Real MPG - 375 miles averaging 28 MPG @ 75 mph. I figure my long trips up the Columbia river gorge would yield similar results. 2) Costco - because bags of bark at home depot are too heavy. 3) It did ok when it snowed (I live in Portland). Great review and thanks!

Great Review Tom. This is this first CRV with style imho

the best straight forward review on the new crv, and I watched all of them so far.

To me, this is a pretty dramatic update to normally vanilla styling.

I wonder if changes in exterior styling have been subtle. It's way more handsome and attractive looking than the previous generation imo

Tom, Loved the Costco story at the end. Also great review as always!

Flawless reviews as always

Excellent and fun review. A class apart from every other review of the Honda CRV that i have seen. Keep it up. I am now going to hit the rewind button and watch it again for my enjoyment.

Damn, the head honcho of Costco himself gave the okay for the famous TP test, nice.

Why does Honda keep depriving the USA market of heated rear seats? They did the same thing for the Ridgeline too (offering the heated rear seats in Canada but not the USA). Lame !

back up camera is a standart safety feature on all vehicles model year 2017 sold in canada

As always, excellent review! Please do the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta and the Cruze Diesel when it comes out!

Very good review - subbed! .... now to see if you reviewed the Outback that I'm cross shopping

the toilet paper test is really useful, its actually one of the main reasons I watch your reviews (your reviews are excellent as well)

Honda has been offering backup camera as standard on all models and trims of all their cars since 2013

Luv your reviews Tom ,keep up great work.

Finally,Honda brought a physical volume knob back to it's touchscreen information systems,I think it would be more popular

TP is the best test for the cargo space period!

Great review, personally I'd get a LX.

Great job! I enjoyed watching and learned a lot.

I have always wondered why some American car reviews measure the trunk size with stacks of toilet papers untill I saw the panic buying videos before this corona virus luck down. Now I understand better. Nice video Tom, I always enjoy your reviews.

Tom, the Canadian CR-V has a panoramic sunroof

I love your reviews Tom!

why no CD player? They have one in the 2017 RAV4. Seems to be a trend. Nice review, thanks!

Considering how well Honda did with the CRV it gives me hope that they will do the same with the RDX. I can hope anyway

Canada gets the panoramic roof as well! What's up with that?

Good Jim story at the end.

this looks a lot better in person

I love my Forester, but boy seeing this and the upcoming Chevy Traverse, Mazda CX-5, etc. makes me wanna cry because of the interior quality these aforementioned SUVs have.

got the 17 ex-l trim. great car!

Can you please give a review on the Lexus LFA then the Lexus LC when it comes out

The CRV is NOT a small CRV. It's just powered and priced like one. It has as much or more cargo room than a Volvo XC60.

My 1.5 T CRV fuel consumptions are in the city 31mpg and on the highway 46mpg

how is the ride comfort on bumpy road surfaces?

In your estimation, Tom, how important is Apple Carplay and Android Auto? I've been looking at Acura (MDX, RDX) and Toyota HIghlander, none of which have the feature, and it doesn't appear that they will anytime soon. I'm wondering if I should just save some money and get the CRV. It seems to have it all.

Thanks Tom!

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

Us Canadians get panoramic roof as well as heated steering wheel and rear seats.

I'd trade the radio volume knob for a real, old-fashioned speedometer and tachometer. I'm not liking that horizontal tach and digital speedometer at all! I might even try to buy a leftover 2016 model rather than live with the redesigned dash on the 2017. As for all the nanny features in the Honda Sensing package, spend $35 for a defensive driving course and make yourself a better driver, rather than spending 4 figures on tech features that do the things you should be doing yourself when you're behind the wheel. I haven't had any of those things on any car I've owned, and I haven't had an accident in over 30 years now. I enjoy watching your reviews!

Great job! Driven & Autodinamico fan over here!

The Japanese makers have been really been slacking for the past few generations, but I'm certainly glad to see Toyota and Honda (even Subaru, in some regards) really giving it their all this time around. The outgoing CR-V wasn't bad, but I personally believe this to be the best generation to date. I still think vehicles like the Honda HR-V and Toyota CH-R are terrible mistakes (and yes, I would know, I drive an HR-V EX-L w/ Navi - it was an impulse buy), but one or two bad apples won't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Heck, I wouldn't mind a CR-V like this in a few years, I just hope that manufacturers won't push their new "safety" and driver assistance technologies to the point where I won't be able to drive w/o interruption from the thing. Great review, Tom! Have a good one!

The lack of a panoramic is such a deal breaker for me

Can't wait to see how Rav4 counter it. XD

always looking forward to your car reviews. maybe honda will release diesel crv, just kidding

what's the best color of CRV? :)

The bark comes from plastic trees 😂

So that's where the Kirkland toilet paper came from

needs a normal transmission and adjustable rear seats, oh ya and get rid of those hideous wheels, then it's perfect.

I'm trying to decide between the CRV and the Accord. It baffles me why Honda offers the Honda Sensing package on the CRV but you have to add the navigation package to get it on their flagship car, the Accord. Doesn't even come on the EX-L trim package. I really don't get that and it's making me lean toward the CRV, even after driving Accord for 25 years

Nice review. Jose from Masons.

I am thinking of a Subaru Forester limited with the 2.5 engine. I said to myself, to at least check out the CRV Touring, and the RAV 4 limited. What do you think?

Next time I’m at Costco “Jim sent me”

I don't get it, some people are complaining about interior wind and road noise, but some (like the reviewer) is saying it is very quiet.

I just got this and guess what? The Canadian touring comes with panoramic sunroof 😀

why wd u want a manual option on a cvt

The steering wheel actually squirts coffee at you when you're too drowsy.

This looks very little like the outgoing model...?

Honda the legend of quality.

This looks nothing like the previous model and Canadian models also have the glass roof option available.

Finally someone called out the ridiculous centre console!

Jim said it was Okay.

Packing this SUV full of toilet paper is kinda funny in this day. Seems many are doing it.

Panoramic sunroof only available in Canada! 😡

Only honda!💪

I don't trust a 1.5 liter engine on a large vehicle even with a turbo. Rather have the 2.4l motor

PORTLAND!

Honda screwed it up by only offered the 2.4 liter in the LX. Other model only available with a crap turbo engine. So, I traded my 2014 CRV-LX AWD for a 2018 RDX AWD with V-6 engine, no CVT either. Unfortunately, they also screwed up the RDX by offering only turbo and CVT in 2019. My RDX with 279 HP only cost $4,000 more than a CRV Touring.

Please Honda Headquarters do answer why the 2017 all new CR-V sold in South Korea is full of rust inside it even if it is just sold since May of 2017. And you Honda should refund or exchange the rusty CR-V into the new One free of rust just like U.S.A.

you got to pay big buck in the future if that turbo will break hahahaha

I was excited to drive this SUV, it was high on my list, but I was so disappointed driving it! The cvt is just bad! I couldn't accelerate on the freeway fast enough! Again on paper it sounds like the best, but bad driving it. I ended up taking rdx, just because I didn't want to wait for 17 Mazda cx5

Love it! But those wheels gotta go!!

IF YOURE GOING TO STICK SOMEONE WITH A CVT ATLEASED OFFER PADDLES

tom the tissue man!! :)

Who’d of thought that the toilet roll would be worth more than the car in 2020....

slightly less boxy

Msrp

I always thought you must have been pooping a lot just to use them all up before your next review.

Damn those rims are horrible. Touring trim but those rims look like the cheap ones from the Mexican rim shop

Ever wondered how I started the TP Trunk Test? It's at the end of this story. Also, check out these other fine crossover reviews- Kia Sportage- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK97otx41afPZqs.html Hyundai Santa Fe- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMuniMWFzcXYkok.html Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Alltrack- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/puCpmMWjsaece6c.html

Throttle response off the line is "okay?" What are you smoking, man? This is the slowest car from a stop I've ever owned... It's a little scary pulling out into traffic.

2017 Hyundia Elantra Sport with the DCT Auto next?

Crvs always have really reduced features and plasticfied interior in here.... that's how they got it to 30k dollars on here apparently, if it was like the original it would've probably cost 70k dollars, wow.

Refrain from using the word "spunk" please.

It is too large. It is almost like a Pilot now.

This car is more American than Japanese now. There is too much chrome inside and outside. The wheels are just hideous. Sure it's practical and probably comfortable but I just can't stand the looks.

Stop with the awful jokes

Again ugly and boring design from honda. Im not gonna buy boring looking suv ..The nissan 2017 nissan rogue is better looking suv..

Lousy job from honda: - ugly shape, no harmony - outdated LCD screens - cheap plastic all over - no seat ventilation - 1.5l engine! Japenese cars started to look worse and worse. See lexus with the huge front grill. And no, it is not totally subjective :)
