Top-selling vehicle in America in the largest non-pickup segment (excluding fleets). A lot of people like it. [Here is a review of the same generation.](http://bestride.com/reviews/new-car-reviews/review-2017-honda-cr-v-1-5t-awd-touring-best-in-class-driving-dynamics) ---

The CRV and the Toyota RAV 4 are both top selling vehicles. In fact the RAV 4 is now outselling the Camry. I would take the RAV 4 since it is still available with regular automatic while the CVR now has a CVT which has an unknown future with respect to reliability. ---

I’m looking at the Mazda CX-5, top-rated in several tests. ---

Friends leased one, they like it. There was a problem with fuel getting into the oil. We test drove the cr-v and rav-4. The rav-4 was quiter for road noise and more comfortable for us. We will probbly buy it lease end. ---

As mentioned,the turbo could have oil dilution issues esp in cold climate. The CVT is better that the other CVT’s but is a CVT, The new RAV4 has a noisier engine. Go test drive one. Also some new owners are complaining of harsh shifts on the transmission. ---

I know a few owners, the most recent bought a left-over 2018 LX because her husband didn’t want a turbocharged engine. The others with EX-L or better seem very satisfied so far after moore than a year of ownership. If they’d introduce the Hybrid version for the USA I’ might convince my dad to upgrade from his 2007 CRV. ---

The April 2019 Motor Trend has an article comparing 8 small SUVs. The CR-V AWD (EX-L) was their top rated. 2nd Mazda CX-5. 3rd Subaru Forester, 4th Toyota RAV4…
