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!

I found a very thin USB rechargeable light bar on Ebay. It measures 6" x 1.25" x .5" thick and is the thinnest, less obtrusive one I could find. It has settings for auto (motion) activation as well as manual on and off. Comes with an adhesive magnetic mounting strip as well as USB cable. I'm going to order another one for the console area as it fits nicely on the underside of the console arm rest. For $7, it works well:

I wish our 2017 CR-V had a front camera. I have difficulty seeing a curb on the passenger side of the car because of the height of the right front fender/A-post intersection. If I don't specifically note the curb configuration before I reach an intersection, I cannot see obstructions that might damage my rear wheel if I make a sharp right turn. When approaching perpendicular parking from the right side it is difficult to accurately position the car between the lines when there are no cars on either side because I cannot see the lines as I approach.

I also wish the navigation system had a volume control that is easy to access. The nav system in our previous car had one touch access to the volume control that could be adjusted on the fly. For some reason the volume on the CR-V nav occasionally resets itself to nearly zero at the most inopportune times. In a recent cross-country trip the volume reset itself in Phoenix, Dallas, and near Atlanta. It is particularly bad when you are in an unfamiliar large city and you are counting on the nav to guide you though a spaghetti bowl and all of a sudden you cannot hear any of the voice prompts. Making matters worse is that the volume cannot be reset without stopping the car. Plus there is an insane number of completely un-intuitive screens to navigate though to reset the volume. Try doing it without the manual. Good luck. BTW, I have not been able to re-create the problem on demand. We were on a 6,500 mile trip and the volume reset at least five times. Can't figure out why and of course it works perfectly for the dealer.

On our previous car, the steering wheel would move up and the seat would slide back when you opened the driver door and then return to position after you got in. It would remember not only the seat position, but also the steering wheel position, mirror position, and radio station. Just having the seat move when changing drivers is not enough.

Of course we would like a light in the glove box and it would be nice to have a phono-plug input to the stereo system and a factory-installed heated steering wheel.

This is not a high-end luxury car so a number of the convenience items are not there, but for a dressed up econo-box (ours is a Touring) it is pretty nice and I like it.

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.

My CR-V touring has a small light in the center console (in the front above the USB connections) BUT it is not bright enough.

I use a wireless charging dock for my S7 edge. I love it so much I added one to my crv. It is rubber and I just have it sitting in the sliding/removable door on the center console ?

I have to make a tight left turn to get into my garage and a front camera would be helpful. If there was a small mirror I could attach to the top of the side mirror maybe. If I stick something, it is probably going to fly off on the highway. It will probably become standard in a few years like the rear camera.

Homelink is highvalue for many people but zero for others, maybe that is why it is not standard on lower trim. I wish they had made it easier to swap out.

You're right. The lights have to be on for ir to work. But it's useless.

I wish the CRV had a separate button to control the A/C as my HRV did - each press changed where the airflow would go.... much better than having to go through the infotaiment system...
I would also like a separate button for AC on / off

 

[lmaxim]

agreed... Brighter lights throughout the vehicle would be WONDERFUL

 

[lmaxim]

overall happy - but if I could wish, my 2018 would have:
1 Rear cargo & rear seat power outlets (in addition to USB)
2. Full LED interior lights
3. LED fog lights
4. map pocket on back of driver's seat
5. Glovebox LED light
6.powered auto folding side mirrors
7. AUX port
8. CD player. i know i'm old fashion, but does everyone stream? i don't. or at least an interface to plug a cd player into if Aux port won't support.
9. more hooks in cargo for various net holders.
10. MANUAL SHIFT. this is only the 2nd vehicle in my life that is automatic.

Easy fix for your #9 item
Search AMAZON FOR "car cargo net" all kinds are available and many come with hardware hooks....easy to intall

Curious as to why you wish this. Is it an issue of symmetry? Does pocket on the passengers side not fit all your documents? Do you need to keep documents separated via the right and left sides? I haven't met many people that actually keep any papers, etc in those pockets or people that thought they didn't have enough room in one.

 

[lmaxim]

I know, sounds stupid - but I actually shove napkins and such there. you'd be surprised how often we reach for them in there.

 

[lmaxim]

true... but just some simple they could account for w/out spending much $

I'll preface with, I LOVE my CR-V. (2017 Touring, purchased in July last year) I have driven Chevrolets nearly all of my life, and I just really enjoy driving this little car.

Show Stoppers (need to be fixed somehow)
-Infotainment/Sound system. Complete disaster...UI is impossible and the sound is weak at best. Will be addressed eventually.
-Lack of the nice "we'll wait a couple of minutes before shutting off your music, etc when you turn off your engine" feature. I know, this can be fixed too but dang how do you not do this? Maybe a Honda thing since I'm new.
-Perpetually sliding center armrest. This thing is borderline dangerous. I need to search to see if there is a fix.

Annoyances
-That armrest thing, it's just that annoying it gets two entries.
-Would love for the auto-bright headlight feature to be a little smarter.


Nice-to-haves
-Would love to have rear 12v power access. May fix this someday, probably when I install rear CYA camera.
-Would like to have cooled seats.
-Would like to have a better trailer hitch solution
-Would be nice to have access to the cameras for recording/CYA
-Wish there were nice dedicated power taps in the headliner and rear cargo area for connecting cameras, etc. (this is true of most vehicles. And I know it's not terribly hard to fix but it's still an annoyance)
-Tighter mobile app integration....more metrics, etc.

 

[shimmy]

So as to not trigger anyone who feels wishing for things means one doesn't like the vehicle (the main offender knows who he is), I will say I think my '18 Touring is a fantastic vehicle and I'm incredibly pleased with it so far.

Things I wish it had:

-front and rear parking sensors, specifically in the front
-bird's eye camera
(Rav4 limited has both of the above)
-cooled seats

oh and a far more responsive head unit and a nav guidance voice that isn't so digital sounding.

I would not mind a few of these items:

If your going to have road rage you need the tools. Who needs Waze, I will just clear out all the traffic in front of me.:bump:
