I had a similar one, top spec. Regular torque converter. It is a bit slow but overall very nice to drive. My average (70/30 city/hwy) fuel consumption was 9.6L/100 km, if this unit makes sense to you. Best highway was 8.1 at 100 km/h, 7.6 at 90 km/h. I think my roof cross bars had some effect on it as everybody else reported half a liter less per 100 km.
The two biggest issues were torque converter and steering rack replacement. Both warranty. There was something wrong with the steering rack from new, it felt numb and could not hold a straight line. Initially I thought it's the characteristic of this car but I think someone in this forum said it should be very good so I borrowed my ex-gf's (identical CR-V) for a test drive and realized that something's wrong with mine. The car was out of warranty by that time but as I had been to the dealer twice with this complaint earlier they accepted the fault was a warranty case.
Other issues were mostly failing parking sensors but it had a camera so I had the sensors off and dealt with it.
