Better material, better quality assembly, better resale value and more reliable than its American competitors. PERIOD

[@mjadamci]

another great video. I bought the 2017 EX-L about a month ago in Lunar Silver and Black interior. I traded in my 2007 CRV LX that I bought new exactly 10 years ago. What a difference! Keep up the good work on these videos, they are the MOST informative I've seen compared to the hundreds of reviews out there.

[@CarConfections]

+mjadamci Thank you so much! We really love hearing that! And congrats on your new CR-V, they really are nice cars!

[@TriniGamerGirl7]

mjadamci how’s fuel economy and overall maintenance?

[@barbz_zayne]

@@TriniGamerGirl7 Lol I know this is a very late reply. But I own a 2021 CR-V EX-L and my maintenance has been fine so far. Just tire rotations and oil changes. Gas mileage is around 32-34 normally for me. And I also had a 2019 CR-V EX-L which got the same gas mileage and the maintenance was just the same. And I will note my 2021 is slightly faster on acceleration than my 2019 was. The headlights are also very bright, especially on high beams, but if you want the really bright ones get the Touring. But the only differences between EX-L and Touring for $3,500-$5,000 (depending on if you get AWD or not) is that the Touring has standard AWD, LED headlights, 19in rims, foot activated power liftgate, wireless phone charger, built in navigation (although I prefer CarPlay navigation), heated steering wheel, and low speed auto braking (EX-L is 15-95 mph, Touring is 0-95), and an amazing Premium Audio system. So if you want those things, I would recommend the Touring, but the EX-L is a great value. Touring - $36,500 EX-L AWD - $33,000 EX-L FWD - $31,500

[@roypark5363]

Love their LED daytime running light. Classier than competitors!

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

My everyday Honda SUV!! Brilliant job bro.

[@davidchodds]

Very thorough review. Well done! Thank you.

[@pellmellsimms4075]

I've owned 2 CRVs, 2001,& 2008 with 165000miles and sti) running great.

[@Berrypancakes229]

I love the new crv design. Like the wood trim look.

[@jasonli622]

your video is so thorough and chill, I really enjoy it, thanks

[@CarConfections]

Thanks, Jason!

[@jackiestitler771]

what an amazing review! I am looking to get this car and this is one of the most informative videos I've ever watched! I liked and subbed!

[@CarConfections]

Jackie Stitler Thanks so much! Glad to hear that! :)

[@fchino-jr.3340]

Very cool review, just subscribed. 👍🏻

[@CarConfections]

+F CHINO-jr. Awesome! Thanks very much!

[@franklinwhitton1758]

good. been waiting on this review for a while :)

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for being patient ;)

[@dwnwind]

Excellent review.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks Ben!

[@route2115]

Best video. Best vehicle ..

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@andybub45]

I am glad they are swapping the lane watch cameras for the blind spot monitors. The lane watch was very silly in my opinion and the bsm actually is something you use.

[@Daysha38]

Great review.

[@CarConfections]

+ItsMe Daysha Thanks so much!

[@LADJROBLEE]

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE REAR SEATS RECLINE

[@clos8a1]

FINALLY!!!! thanks

[@CarConfections]

Haha, we figured people were waiting on this one!!

[@madelyn2153]

Can you do a review on just the EX feature of this car?

[@dlstrothers716]

Awesome review, guys! I liked how you kind of incorporated all of the available trims/ models in one video. Simple and straight to the point. Will you guys be doing any Jeeps, particularly the Grand Cherokee, in the future? I have someone in mind that I want to watch and I like how yall do your videos. 👍

[@CarConfections]

+dlstrothers716 Thanks very much! Jeep is certainly a brand we hope to be reviewing in the near future!

[@PG-1114]

🖒🖒 great r3view

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed :)

[@alonefire3380]

Can't wait for the Honda civic si & type r to be in the Honda lineup

[@CarConfections]

Neither can we! We will do our best to have them as soon as they come out!

[@jackiestitler771]

that's awesome. you guys must be quite young

[@CarConfections]

Haha, yes we are 20 and 16. Thanks for watching!

[@pellmellsimms4075]

is the 1.5l engine a steel timing chain n 4 valves per cyl.?

[@riahaidan]

Can someone please confirm if the exterior color on this one is Gunmetal and the seats are Gray leather, not Ivory? Thanks.

[@superwangwei3630]

Best car in its class! Nice review too.

[@CarConfections]

+superwangwei3630 Thanks as always!

[@bvedant]

Nah, I'd say CX-5 is the best. CR-V is a somewhat close second, followed by the Tucson and the rest

[@matsm.1580]

can you do a 2017 Honda Civic review?

[@CarConfections]

+mats m. That's more than likely the next Honda we will do 😀

[@elaineburt9129]

How bout the HRV

[@akila219]

hello, i wonder if the honda crv is goin to come out with a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid?

[@CarConfections]

Considering that the RAV4 and Rogue now both have hybrid models and they are this cars biggest competitors, I would anticipate that Honda will add a hybrid to the CR-V. But, of course, they haven't announced anything officially yet. Thanks for watching!

[@jackiestitler771]

You're welcome. Do you guys do this for a living?

[@CarConfections]

No, we are both full time students and have other jobs as well

[@hoplophobiadoc]

No more Magic Seats?

[@teebee1204]

This is good (and thank you!) but could be much more useful with a few edits. Skip the first 2 minutes--just filler. "The old model used to have....(what?)..but now those things are found "here" (what? where?)"

[@nitinsinghai9235]

Can you do a review of an ex v Cr-v

[@nitinsinghai9235]

I love the video I subscribed

[@matthewyim1736]

Hey Car Confections, if you have any connections with Hyundai or Kia, then will you review one?

[@CarConfections]

Yes! We are hoping to expand into both (especially Hyundai) in the near future! Thanks for being a long time subscriber!

[@matthewyim1736]

Your Welcome! :)

[@oldgoat50]

Well I have a 17 EX-L with nav with 12000 miles bought new. Had a new battery put in at 14 months and was the shortest time frame in my 52 years of owning a car. Had to have 2-3 updates that were on recall from Honda and now the famous oil dilution problem with the turbo. Just wondered how others feel about the car 3 years later? And the shift knob broke off and had a recall on that also.

[@AM-pp2bh]

Just one thing that’s not all CR-V 2017 has a remote start ...I have the LX AWD model and I love it the only thing that’s the Honda dealer advice me to not installing a remote starter.. and I live in Michigan .. thank you

[@CarConfections]

Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!

[@sampathusa]

Hi, Does headrest DVD available at any trim?

[@CarConfections]

+Sunil Perera Not from the factory. Maybe you could get some aftermarket?

[@matthewyim1736]

No, but you could get some aftermarket ones.

[@matelslug1]

back seats are extremely uncomfortable on 2021 crv , u can actually feel the metal frame underneath the fabric seats version.

[@briangarrison6099]

this is the other one I am looking at. do you all think I should get this or the CX-5?

[@briangarrison6099]

or the Rogue?

[@CarConfections]

Both the CX-5 and CR-V are amazing in this class. We do have a comparison video between the two if you're interested in watching that.

[@CarConfections]

And technically, if you look at our comparisons the Rogue lost against the CR-V and the CR-V lost against the CX-5.

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Six years ago, I consider buy 17' Honda CR-V.

[@siyajin23]

What octane do you need to use on this car?

[@CarConfections]

+Jojo Pereyra You just use regular (87 octane) fuel. Thanks for watching!

[@siyajin23]

Car Confections Thank you

[@user-zw3nw9hc5u]

가격 얼마입니 까요 ?

[@redsox7897]

I can't decide what color to get..

[@bvedant]

Not sure if you're still in the market for one but if you're looking at anything above the LX trim, try to find one in Molten Lava. By far my favorite. Lunar Silver and Obsidian Blue are also pretty nice and can even be found on the LX.

[@wannabe41]

B Vedant just bought a 2017 CRV in Molten Lava Pearl. It’s a beautiful color!

[@mtlh05]

No leather steering wheel on EX?

[@CarConfections]

According to our media sheet, only EX-L and Touring get a leather steering wheel/shift knob. Thanks for the comment!

[@Bcarlos240]

What is the exterior and interior color?

[@CarConfections]

The exterior color is Modern Steel Metallic and the interior is Gray.

[@Bcarlos240]

Thank you

[@CarConfections]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@Kingjahm]

how about the pilot

[@CarConfections]

Hi there! We will most likely have a Pilot review coming up within the next month or so. Stay tuned :)

[@Kingjahm]

yeah and last thing it would be a good review for the Acura TLX a spec in may plus the back seats recline

[@angellobutov5437]

HONDA IS MAFIA

[@Walter-hg2nr]

CRV should have a bigger engine available 2L TURBO from Accord 252 hp with 10speed. That would be MORE complete CRV.

[@ravenjames3873]

you don't need that much power, this isn't a sports car it's designed for small families. now they could've did a little more than a 190 hp, but it works regardless. i think 200 hp would've been the sweet spot, but it is what it is. not a big deal.

[@captainjack6890]

A CRV so equipped ( call it a CRV Type S or RS) would absolutely be insane. But as it is, this 1.5T engine is more than sufficient

[@pellmellsimms4075]

Japan's car, Korean tires. hmmm

[@Walter-hg2nr]

Pellmell Simms and your Chinese braine

[@Thundernoob88]

What's with Honda and it's whack horns. I have a 2016 Civic and I never use the horn because it sounds like it belongs in a Bettle

[@ravenjames3873]

i don't any horn sounds good, it wasn't meant for saying hello to family it was to annoy the idiot that drives in front of you.

[@vm8030]

Thundernoob88 It's a fake horn he edited it into the video it's no the cars horn.

[@dominickguglielmo7982]

Wood trim Honda? Really?!

[@steelheart4148]

It's faux wood.

[@tsmith7119]

Lemon!! Do your homework!!

[@tomclose6643]

explain in detail seem to be a good seller

[@terryrobinson3760]

We bought my wife the 2017 exl. Still runs like new. She loves it.

[@DimachkaS]

Ugh

[@Pharoh_95]

Toyota rav 4 looks better in my opinion

[@Berrypancakes229]

Yovany Mora new crv design looks better and more room then the rav
