3. LED fog lights
4. Wireless phone charging pad
5. map pocket on back of driver's seat
6. Glovebox LED light
7. US heater rear seats
8. US panoramic roof
9. powered auto folding side mirrors
10. AUX port
11. Full power (2.5A) USB ports all around

Tilting side mirror while in reverse would be great!
I have been buying and using cell phones with wireless charging for years. Have not had one durability problem. I do not buy phones without this feature.
I wish my honda had a searchable manual built into the infotainment unit.
I wish the US EXL & Touring models had Canadian EXL & Touring models features like Heated Steering wheel , Heated Rear seat , Panoramic sun roof.

You are so right! Luv mine, just got a little lazy wanting the manual loaded onboard :D
Wish it had a light in the center console - can't see in there to hook my phone to the USB port.

AND, wish the Homelink buttons had brighter LEDs....hard to see with sunglasses on.

Other than that, I like the accessories with the Touring model, and the sound system is GREAT compared to other equivalent makes.
I wish my CRV had......A V6!!!!
NOt me!! I'll take my 35 mpg 1.5L turbo DI engine!!

100%. Agree! My Touring was built in Canada but I can't have the great features. Damn!
I wish my 2017 CR-V Touring had faster response time on the infotainment screen (painfully slow for this day and age) , a softer driver's left side armwrest and a 120V outlet. I don't really have any other issues with this car. To me it's as close to perfect as it gets (but then I am coming from a 1987 Merc 300E and 1994 Toyota Corolla LE)
I wish my Touring had better traffic in Nav and just better nav in general. I've used a TomTom and GoogleMaps the past few years for traffic, to augment the great nav in my 2006 Odyssey ... got spoiled. I'm really disappointed with both at the moment. I've only had it for a few days, so let's hope I'm just missing something. :)

I should add, I love it otherwise.
I love mine! Just picked it up yesterday. The only thing that would make it better for me would be to have cooling seats. In Arizona it would be great for our summers. The only time of year I don't use AC is in December and January. I rarely would use the moon roof and the heated seats.
A few things that would be nice:

- Sound insulation
- V6 as an option
- Hybrid as an option (I'm sure this is in the pipeline)
- Regular automatic transmission (as long as it's not the ZF 9 speed transmission)
- Snappier infotainment performance
I would like an accessory kit with interior trim panels in metal that matches the metal in the illuminated door sills. I think that would look nice with the Black Leather interior. Also wiring in place for an optional Honda sub-woofer for the EX/EX-L models, backlit gear selector on the console instead of on instrument screen, and an update to Apple Car Play to fix the current known issues.
I'd like to have more storage room on front and back rows
Wish it had a light in the center console - can't see in there to hook my phone or USB stick to the USB port.

I have the manual on-board.......two copies:
Copy 1 is on my tablet computer that I sometimes bring.
Copy 2 is paper and Honda sent it to me free. Paper copy is much better for many things, faster than touching that screen and getting finger prints all over it.

Honda offer almost all of that now, you may have just bought the wrong model. The V-6 and six speed conventional shift auto trans come standard in the RDX (Honda CR-V branded as an Acura). Also the RDX has more sound deadening material and other features. Oh...did we mention it cost $10,000 more? But it does have much of your wish list. I looked hard at them but wife and I found the CR-V Touring to be a better value for what we got. (But I still did like that V-6)

Exactly hans...
You can add a tap light inside the console storage and glove box. While I agree it would be nice to have a built in light, it is a cheap easy alternative!
