What does this post have to do with your 2016? You weren't tricked you just didn't do your research....

 

OTOH, you got a CR-V with less 'bugs' than a new model would have had.

Tell us the story of your 'impulse' buy....:zx11shock

 

You really need to be more creative with your thread titles.

I bought a 2016 EX-L and thought I had made a mistake not waiting on the 2017s. However, after finding out that they discontinued the CD player and the issues some had complained about (go to the 2017+ forum), I'm glad I have a 2016. 41,000 trouble free miles so far and the OEM tires are at 4/32".

 

The typical life cycle in a hot market segment of the automotive industry is 5 years, with a refresh in year 4. And that's exactly what we had for the Gen 4 CR-V. Introduced as all new for 2012, refreshed in 2015 (new engine, transmission, greatly improved headlights and restyled interior), retired at the end of 2016 and replaced for 2017.

It sounds like you didn't do a lot of homework before you bought the final year of the previous design. Then again, you spared yourself a lot of headaches that the early adopter had to live thru.
