I have a 2017 CR-V with that power train (FWD). I absolutely love it. The CVT is smooth, and its quite zippy with the gear selector in Sport. I average 35mpg, which is a big reason I got it.
The fuel dilution issue concerned me initially, but after doing the research, it appears to only affect cars in northern climates (and a small percentage of them, at that). Which shouldn't be an issue in Louisiana. ETA I bought mine used in January with 70k miles. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The CX5 was top on our list. Reason it was knocked off was we do not have a dealer close by. The RAV4 pissed me off just looking at them on the dealership lot. They had a $$ mark up over the MSRP price for market adjustment. Did not even bother talking to them.  Wow.

My wife has a 2019 CRV 2WD ( same motor and trans of course) and she loves it. Commutes 70 miles round trip a day and gets about 35MPG. She has no issues with it and likes the new improvements such as lane assist etc on it. She had a 2016 Civic with the exact same power train and we traded it in with almost 70k issue free miles on it.

My wife has a 2018 with the same engine and transmission.
She loves it, I think it's a great little appliance to drive. In Sport Mode it's got a little kick to it. Fuel dilution issues? You always read about the guys who have issues, most people who don't have issues don't say anything. I think it's overblown. |

A relative decided to buy a 2019 CRV EX model.
She is car stupid so I went with her to buy it mostly for the negotiating factor. Overall I will say it seems to be doing well but it's only been seven months of ownership and thousands of miles but again, nothing long-term. With my little bit of experience driving it I will say I'm impressed with the vehicle and would not turn anyone away from buying one. |

Wife has a 2019 with the 1.5
I was extremely concerned about the issues but it has a 10yr million mile warranty so it’s their problem.... I do my own oil changes and I have changed it twice and each time I get about 4 quarts just above full on the stick I think it’s a non issue Keep the trans fluid changed... they recommend 30k I will probably do it at 20k intervals |
