Satisfied 2017 Honda CRV Owner
Purchased my second AWD Honda CRV EX-L in October 2017 (2017 model year). It now has 59,000 miles on it. My first was a 2013 that I ran until 143,000 miles and sold in 2018. The 2017 has better gas mileage, more power, more comfort overall. I bought new tires at 50,000 miles. I am on the original brakes, and just did the 60k service and it has plenty of pad service left. I have had no service issues. I did get the oil/gas service update, with an extended warranty, and have had no problems with this dilution issue before or after the fix. We live in a rural area with a reasonable amount of snow and ice, and the car performs great. The average gas mileage since purchase is over 34 mpg. The car is great on long trips. Negatives: the tires that we purchased, and the OEM tires, are noisy, but they offer good tread life and performance, so it’s a good trade off. The audio system is not the best, but works okay. Backup camera is good. Safety features are good. Our other car is a 2019 Subaru Ascent, which is a great car but 10 mpg less on mileage. When it comes time to replace the 2017 CRV, I will look again at the Honda and also consider the Subaru Forester and the Toyota RAV4. Lots of good choices.
