I have a 2017 EXL with 15k miles on it. Coming from a BMW X5 for me it was as basic transport as it got but after living with it for nearly three years now I can honestly say that it’s a solid choice for an everyday vehicle. CVT takes a bit of time to get used to and the engine could use a bit more pep but overall it does every well with interior quality that’s very nice. I drive mostly city and very short trips so my lifetime mileage is 22mpg once on the highway I’ve seen it in the mid 30s. If you want more excitement I’d look toward Acura RDX. It has 2.0t with a conventional transmission with none of this rubber band shenanigans of CRV.
