Good evening fellow CR-V lovers. I purchased my 2018 CR-V in January of this year. Now sitting at 7700K miles. I really love the vehicle, its very nice. I traded in a 2016 Honda Civic EXL, so I was pretty much use to everything. But I will get straight to the point... after reading about some issues people are currently having with the car, a couple months in... makes me wonder, how will these CR-V's hold up 10-15 years from now? I plan on keeping mine. I'm worried the most about the CVT transmission. I will definitely maintain it (change the fluid, be gentle when changing gears, ect...) but I'm still concerned. I'm trying to picture a scenario where, lets say in 5 years the belt needs replacing. How much will that cost?
Also, I'm very concerned about all this touch screen technology in the car. This is like an Android phone. How is this going to perform 15 years from now when its long obsolete? What sucks is there are no physical buttons for the infotainment and the climate control is meshed in too. So one cannot upgrade the stereo years down the line?
I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it. I do enjoy the car, but this is an investment. I also found it strange that my alignment was off from the factory. The steering wheel would prefer the right going down a straight road. The dealer charged me $150 to fix, until I escalated it to the manager and was refunded. Now the steering wheel seems much better, slightly preferring the left when driving down the right side of the street, which my mom's car does as well.
So how do you think the 2017-2018 CR-V will hold up 10-15 years from now? Would love to hear your thoughts?
