    Got a 2017 with 20K. Can't remember the trim level--one up from base, I think. Has heated seats and a few other perks. Very happy with it. It's a dawg in economy mode but pretty peppy in sport. Gas mileage in the mid to upper 30's if you work at it.

    OEM all-seasons are pretty weak in the snow.

    Have the LX 2017
    A lot of oil dilution problems in the 1.5 turbo (ex+). Sad we don’t have a few of the options but will keep it for 8+ years and the oil reports are real bad. Didn’t want to play that game. Search it before you buy

    35k on our awd, its a great car so far.

    Rav4 has a new design for this year that's worth checking out before you pull the trigger on the crv. Both are good vehicles

    The newest models really look good , my wife has a 2011 Pilot we bought new now has 46,000 miles with no issues , would trade for a new Honda Odyssey van but I don't believe I could get but about 15 grand for a perfect pilot .

    Wife has a 2017 that's a lease. So far so good, but I agree for being an AWD it's not great in the snow. She loves the heated seats and it gets good gas mileage. Will not be getting another one when the lease is up. Would be nice if it came with a roof rack like some hybrids do.

    My wife has a 14 with almost 100k on it. Guy bought it new and wrecked it with 3k on it, i bought it and fixed it. We havent had a single issue out of it. Its not the most luxurios but has served its purpose well. Wife loves the heated seats and it gets good gas milage in eco mode. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another

    If you really don't need the SUV. Drive the Accord with the 2.0 turbo. Real fun to drive in sport mode.

    My wife is on her secound CRV. She had a new 2013 EX and I traded it last March on a new 2018 EX. I get her a new car every 4 1/2 years or so.(Her pick) She decided to say with the Honda as She really likes them. Happy wife , happy life.

    After we got this 2018, I heard about the "oil issue" and had dealer change oil. Sent a sample to the test lab. Tests came back "inconclusive" for gasoline contamination in oil. A few months ago they did a software update on the car for the supposed issue. Took about an hour at the dealer. Other than that, have had no problems with the car..

    Wife just bought one and loves it. Had several pilots but kids are older now so less room is fine. Got a 2019 EX-L and cannot stop talking about it. Side story when she was buying it a person brought one in for maintenance with 700,000 miles on it.

    They are fine cars, and big sellers. My brother in law owned 2 Honda dealerships, and let me just say that Honda dealers often go for the throat in the profit department.

    There are really no poor vehicles in the small SUV retail market. They're all good. But the Toyota RAV 4 is also a strong player if you can get a decent deal on one. Their RAV 4 hybrid would be a very attractive unit to me.

    We owned three ... Gen 1, Gen 3 and Gen 4. No clue on the current Gen 5.
    None of them gave us anything other than a terrific ownership experience.
    It’s very hard to beat Honda quality/value, if they suit your overall needs.
    I’d highly recommend checking out the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson.
    They are all very similar and have their own cult following, advantages, etc.

    Added note ... my buddy is STILL driving our first, the 2001 Gen 1 CR-V.
    Just over 200,000 miles, still nothing but maintenance and wear/tear parts.
    I’d actually LOVE to have it back, but he’s not coughing it up. Bad man.

    I have a 2011 with 101,000 mi. on it. Rock solid so far, absolutely no issues. We're going to give it to my daughter and buy another CR-V for ourselves.
