TFL is probably the car channel I watch most. I like their over all honesty and non scripted reviews. However, in reviews like this one, I wish they had more details about the cars. For example, there weren't much info about why the Toyota wasn't as good as the others, or why the ford was exceptionally nice. I hope that in future reviews you could mention what car has more to offer in terms of value and comfort. Thank you!
MrPensiveThinker came here to say similar stuff. I've been watching a ton of car reviews on TH-cam lately and the TFL stuff, in my opinion, lacks a lot of basic information. Non scripted to me makes for awkward pauses and a lot of "it's nice! "This is great" and other nonsense.
Purchased a 2017 Escape Titanium 3 weeks ago. Looked at them from the outside and thought they had "to much" going on on the dash and looked strange. Recessed display in the center touch screen looked hard to use. Wanted something simple and square like the Rav 4. Test rode the Escape and loved it. Comfortable and mainly I didn't want the Honda cause I don't like the way the shift is. Half on the floor, half on the dash kinda. Plus i think it has that CVT Transmission I think ? Don't know if I would get used to that or even like it. Watched some videos on it and it's 50/50 on opinions. Decided on the Escape since I traded in a 2002 Escape that never had any problems. It had around 200HP with the V-6 and had some power, couldn't see myself buying a Rav 4 and giving up some power. Plus I just don't like the way the front of the Rav 4 looks for some reason. Never test rode one, was going to, but after test driving the Escape I didn't look any further. Brother has a 2016 Rav 4. I asked him about it and he just says "it's ok". Not extremely happy. Just "ok". Decided on the Escape since it has a choice of engine options. I got the Titanium with the 2.0 Turbo. Not broke in yet but I can tell it will move real nice. 245HP I think or 240? Couldn't see myself spending $30k + to give up power. Escape feels like my old 02' Escape, nice ride and kinda sporty. Handles real nice.
The 2017 CR-V is offered with the updated Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™. Software and hardware upgrades result in an increase in engine torque (up to a total of 40-percent) that can be sent to the rear wheels, based on the driving conditions. The result is improved performance in low traction conditions when AWD comes into play.
It being sold in Japan right now! May/June release in U.S. market! Will not hold your breath for the 2.2L diesel to come to the U.S. nor the CX-9 2.5T either as an CX-5 engine option for U.S. model.
I'm not a Hybrid guy, but I bought the RAV4 Hybrid Limited (instead of the normal trim) not because I wanted a hybrid, but because it flies. Honda definitely would not have wanted to compare it because it would smoke those other SUVs. The torque of that electric note is awesome. I own a 4Runner with a v8 and it keeps up to 100mph. Speaking of Honda reliability, I traded in a 2014 Odyssey EXL after numerous transmission issues, warped brake rotors, etc. Honda/Acura lost an 18 year customer because they aren't reliable any more and I love the RAV4. I think it looks better too.
Our 2017 CR-V Touring is awesome. Been through 2 generations of Accord EX-L/Sport and actually traded my wife's 2017 Accord EX-L with NAV with only 2800 miles for this last week! We actually didn't take a bath like we would on a totally depreciated American car and the driving experience is AWESOME! A 1.5L Turbo with more HP than my 2017 Accord Sport! Amazing! We're Honda fans all the way and the CR-V is the best in class crossover out there!
I complain about this in every single comment section about honda and I won't stop until something is done about it. Why is your infotainment all capacitive touch? I'm glad they brought back the volume knob but all of those little capacitive controls on the left should be physical buttons and here is why. If you have capacitive buttons, ESPECIALLY ones that can change their function and appear / disappear in different modes (radio vs usb vs gps for example) it forces you to take your eyes off the road to not only figure out if they are there at all, but to figure out where they are. That is just unsafe. I know I know it only takes a moment to figure out where they are and hit it but it is an UNECCISARY moment of attention being taken from you. I don't know a single person that has had a car with capacitive buttons like this for any long period of time that has gone "You know what, I'm really glad my car has no buttons it looks super sleek when its off and I find that cool" You wanna know what they all say? "Why the fuck aren't these buttons this is just annoying" No one fucking wants it. It's unsafe. And it's unnecessary. I'm fine with the infotainment being a touch screen and all that, that's fine. But there are certain controls that should just simply have physical buttons so that muscle memory can use them without looking while on the road. All I ask is for these controls to be physical; -All climate controls, from temperature to output to defrosters etc -Volume -Media source (a button to bring up the options for your source like radio, usb, aux) -Tuning. Either a knob or at least a physical button to bring up your radio tuning options -Settings. A general button to bring up the settings option like display brightness, langauge, etc. -Voice commands. I don't think anyone has made this control capacitive yet but I hope it stays this way. Thats it. Everything else can be capacitive touch or buried in a menu but those controls need to be physical and not context sensitive (aka appearing and disappearing depending on different contexts) so that they can be used while driving without being another distraction. This was one of the deciding factors for me when I bought a car recently. I nearly went with the Honda Fit or HR-V but decided instead to go with the Scion / Toyota Corolla iM because when I drove it I wasn't driven mad by the infotainment system.
What vibration issue? Where does this vibration emanate from? The only common vibration I've noticed on 15-16 CR-V's that I really didn't like is the gas pedal has a buzz to it when I depress it. Don't like that, but it seems many other people don't notice it.
The new CX-5 looks great. The downside is the same engine from last year. The new CR-V is a completely new vehicle with a faster engine but the mileage you get may vary.
I have been buying Fords for over 50 years. But when they started supporting NFL players kneeling during our national anthem, I wrote Ford a letter telling them how disappointed I was with them supporting the protest. They wrote back and told me that it was the players right to kneel during the anthem in protest So last Thursday I went and traded in my 2015 Titanium Ford Escape for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 Limited. I won't ever buy another Ford, but I really do love my RAV4, lots more room inside, and the standard 2.5 L engine has lots of power, and even new, it is getting better gas mileage than my 30 month old Ford Escape.
Hell yes. The '11 Pilot is crap compared to the new '17 CR-V. I work at a Honda dealership and test drive brand new cars all day for pre-delivery inspections and the 2009-2015 Pilots are leagues behind the new CR-V which is obvious enough to say. If you test drive the new CR-V check out the premium stereo and the power adjustment on the front part of the seat bottoms which I find very cool. I also suspect the lane departure mitigation system on the new CR-V is more advanced than the 16-17 Pilots, but I'd have you be the judge on that.
Will Elvgren. My significant other has a 2004 Pilot LX thats been everywhere. That 3.5L V6 is a reliability champ. I'm convinced Honda has crazy good engineering.
TFL, I'm sure I am not the only one subscribed to you guys that wants to see it, but I would really appreciate a fresh review/comparison of the small SUV's on the market, specifically the ones that come with 4wd. I have a little one and a wife who is begging to get out of her 07 fusion; yeah, and so we are in the market for this particular category. But I would prefer to get something that would be less... castrating... to drive on a regular basis. Maybe you guys could try putting some off road tires on them and taking these and a few other competitors up the mountain... Soccer mom shootout... 0-60s... mud and snow... an IKE gauntlet... you know, all the stuff a dad would do with mommies car when he takes the keys...
How can this be objective when the reviewer thanked Honda for flying him out? I purchased the Rav 4 because I plan on driving it for 20 years. The Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) with its pulley design will not outlast the six speed gear transmission in the RAV4. When the CVT goes out plan on $4,500 to fix it in today's dollars. The extra few miles per gallon the CVT provides over the six speed gear transmission doesn't sound like a big savings when the rubber band transmission snaps.
plus the direct injection engine with all the carbon build up issues and turbos will need $$$ spent on maintenance where Rav4 will never have such issues, its not only about looks people, if you plan on keeping the car long term, Rav4 is a much better choice
Are Toyota still out selling Honda's? Reliability, cost and ease to fix still a big thing between these two.?. Everything seems to point to the CRV.. For initial looks / power. What's important to people more?
Hi great video, I'm subscribe on your channel, you've tested the Toyota rav 2017, Which one is quieter with regards to cabin noise, Crv 2017 or RAV4 2017? Thanks
Which one will last 100K miles with basic maintenance? Question 2: which one will hold value at 100K miles? Question: 3 which one will I want to buy the same brand of at 100K miles? :)
God damn it brother take it easy on those burgers you no longer have a neck I remember you from a couple of previous videos. Oh and I vote for the rav4. The crv looks great but has a cvt and a 1.5 litre turbo engine lol
I wouldn't go that far. I'm a tech at a Honda dealership and drive CVTs all day, including 2017 CR-Vs and you can definitely tell it's a CVT. Especially at take off and full throttle.
Motor Trends recent test of the 2017 CRV's real mileage. Turbo 4 mileage is very much dependent on how you drive. If you drive like your grandmother you might get the mileage they claim. Other than that the new CRV is really nice. I'd get the RAV 4 in a heartbeat with the V6 option back. www.motortrend.com/news/2017-honda-cr-v-disappoints-in-real-mpg-city-results-exceeds-epa-highway-rating/
stockjonebills Drive the Hybrid. There's no reason to buy a V6. I can be going 45mph and pass a car and I'm going 75mph when I pull back in in the blink of an eye. I own a 4Runner with the V8 and will pull with it to 100mph and I also raced an brand new Imprezza WRX and it couldn't pull away. Super impressed.
They are good, escape has power when running and some extra features, CRV also is beautiful, good quality and has power but not like Ford Escape. Both are great.
Hondas awd system has always been Garbage.The CR-V looks amazing though.Rav-4 I will take just because I'm a bit bias towards Toyota but the new Mazda CX-5 would be the clear winner.
The Ford shouldn't even count or be in this video, I mean even this guy was struggling to say good things about the car. A good mashup would be the 2017 CX-5 since that is completely redone.
Hey everyone keep in mind that the CRV is the latest but definitely not the greatest. I just bought a brand new Honda 3 weeks ago and have had nothing BUT electrical issues. Please don't take my word for it. Go look up Hondas latest electrical issues especially with Bluetooth and infotainment
guy proulx Not always true, because if what you are saying is true 99% of car buyers in Europe and Asia are changing cars every 60-100k miles, which dosent happen, still I will agree turbos are not as reliable as NA engines, simple as that, still in this modern age very few keep cars post 100k miles,and for that reason turbos make huge sense
I was starting to think the Honda might have something, though I prefer Ford's styling. Toyota, ehhh! But the comment as to how genuine your evaluation of Honda was came info question when you thanked Honda for flying you to Northern California. I don't believe you can be completely be unbiased when your meal and plane tickets (and accommodations) are literally being paid by Honda.
you're kidding right? the CR-V is a compact SUV. Just like the Rav4 and Escape. The Highlander and Flex (and Ford Explorer) are midsize SUV's all with 3rd rows. You know kinda like well the HONDA PILOT... The HR-V is a SUB-compact SUV comparable to the Nissan Juke, Subaru Crosstrek, Chevy Trax. Cars like that. Little tiny tiny SUVs.
www.motortrend.com/news/2017-honda-cr-v-disappoints-in-real-mpg-city-results-exceeds-epa-highway-rating/ I figured this would be the case using a 1.5 turbo in a heavier vehicle.
Rav 4 all the way if you want your money and miles worth. I won't buy anything else but Toyota. my Toyota pick up just reach 500,000 miles and it's still runs talk about reliability.
The CRV looks bigger from the outside as the front and rear areas don't slope towards the ground. Very well done.
I have a first gen CR-V still going strong even after busting a timing belt. LOVE it.

I would take the new CRV it is so premium and nice!
Lord Cyclops What which one is dated?
The new CRV is 100% new and very cool looking, how is it "dated"?
Lord Cyclops Oh ok :)
Go Honda!! Building a best in class car once again! :)
I love TFL channels. It feels more like a good car show on television than youtube videos

Ha Ha, looking at Nate struggling to say nice things about the Ford
oh my god..... lol. He was reaching for the stars to say nice things about it.
Nathan Nan even though ford has said through many ads that the Ford Escape is better than all crossovers
It's murica bro!
Nathan Nan it's faster than the slow ass rav4 for sure
Wish the 2017 CX5 was in that comparison too
Tech Defender well yes, but the 2017 model isn't available until 2017 so yeah
It being sold in Japan right now! May/June release in U.S. market! Will not hold your breath for the 2.2L diesel to come to the U.S. nor the CX-9 2.5T either as an CX-5 engine option for U.S. model.

the real question is... did Honda fix the vibration issues or are they still calling it a feature. signed, 2016 owner
What vibration issue? Where does this vibration emanate from? The only common vibration I've noticed on 15-16 CR-V's that I really didn't like is the gas pedal has a buzz to it when I depress it. Don't like that, but it seems many other people don't notice it.
Response below
Jgizzy -redacted- the entire vehicle vibrates and its a common issue if you frequent CRV forums: goo.gl/photos/dVGnBnxLJ22CvHZf9
I wonder what will fare better... This brand new CR-V, the brand new Equinox, or the brand new CX-5. We'll have to wait and see..
The new CX-5 looks great. The downside is the same engine from last year. The new CR-V is a completely new vehicle with a faster engine but the mileage you get may vary.
I heard the CX-5 is going to get a disel engine at some point this year though with more power.
I have been buying Fords for over 50 years. But when they started supporting NFL players kneeling during our national anthem, I wrote Ford a letter telling them how disappointed I was with them supporting the protest.

Current garage:
2017 Pilot Touring AWD
2016 Corolla S
2011 Pilot Touring 4X4
Should I trade in the 2011 for a '17 CRV?
Hell yes. The '11 Pilot is crap compared to the new '17 CR-V. I work at a Honda dealership and test drive brand new cars all day for pre-delivery inspections and the 2009-2015 Pilots are leagues behind the new CR-V which is obvious enough to say.

I like the RAV4 and CRV.
Escape? Dated? That thing was just refreshed for 2017 model year and looks better abd classier than ever!!! The RAV4 looks like it belongs in 2010
TBH, both the Rav-4 and the Escape look like the one who could purchase 2 yrs ago. Outdated...it's still modern, just could use a major update
Honestly that Ford Escape interior is terrible. I love the new crv's direction. Great job Honda
Brandon Banner The ginormous Ford logo everywhere doesn't help, lol.
That is not terrible...
You'll have to toss in the new compass when it's out!
Escape is the best in my opinion
When can we expect an off-road test of the crv? Really wanting to know if the AWD is improved in the new model.
TFL, I'm sure I am not the only one subscribed to you guys that wants to see it, but I would really appreciate a fresh review/comparison of the small SUV's on the market, specifically the ones that come with 4wd.

Russell Condie thank you. I was wondering when someone was going to mention that.
Well said
Honda are great visually
But the rav tested n tru
Russell Condie yes exactly ppl just don't know about quality.
Great comparison. Really want to know the 0-60 time.
High to mid 7s!
Derrick Li 7 Seconds to 0 to 60
Are Toyota still out selling Honda's? Reliability, cost and ease to fix still a big thing between these two.?. Everything seems to point to the CRV.. For initial looks / power. What's important to people more?
Does anyone else think that the CR-V front mainly the grill and headlight area resembles heavily with the Ford Edge?
Hi great video, I'm subscribe on your channel, you've tested the Toyota rav 2017, Which one is quieter with regards to cabin noise, Crv 2017 or RAV4 2017? Thanks
You have to take this new Honda CRV to the Gold Mine Hill!!! Please!!! :D
Enjoyed the reviews Guys 👍🏽
Which one will last 100K miles with basic maintenance? Question 2: which one will hold value at 100K miles? Question: 3 which one will I want to buy the same brand of at 100K miles? :)
Wish the crv had the flip up seats a la fit. It would really be set apart then
Love you! Your videos are fantastic, thank you
what about the Nissan Rogue how does it compare I had a 2008 I love it
what about the nissan rogue
that car is also important for this class
Jiten Roy I agree with you. Sadly, there were no Nissans available when this video was shot
Jiten Roy It definitely should have been included. Isn't it Nissans top selling vehicle right now?
Bobby0345 yeah
Jiten Roy Honda probaly doesn't see it as a threat as the Escape and Toyota.
It would be a better review if you showed the back seat legroom & prices
I rather have the honda crv 2006 model SE looks awesome, old fashioned (which I am a fan) and yeah.
I saw some horses in the background. How do those stack up?
we like the honda CRV 2017 so good i think its good at offroad mud snow
God damn it brother take it easy on those burgers you no longer have a neck I remember you from a couple of previous videos. Oh and I vote for the rav4. The crv looks great but has a cvt and a 1.5 litre turbo engine lol
Can TFL do a offroad review with this new CRV?
great vid!
I’ll take the ford!
Can you do a review of 2017 subaru impreza
Great review!! Love it!
CR-V would be good if it didn't have a CVT
And even with the CVT, it still is great. Though I agree it would be better with a 7 or 8-speed automatic.
I wouldn't go that far. I'm a tech at a Honda dealership and drive CVTs all day, including 2017 CR-Vs and you can definitely tell it's a CVT. Especially at take off and full throttle.
"The new Rav4 is nice... not thrilling... but nice." - Thanks to Dom Delouise. ;)
So when is the CRV headed to Gold Mine Hill? haha
Escape doesnt compare to other two. Cheap, much lower resale value.
Motor Trends recent test of the 2017 CRV's real mileage. Turbo 4 mileage is very much dependent on how you drive. If you drive like your grandmother you might get the mileage they claim. Other than that the new CRV is really nice. I'd get the RAV 4 in a heartbeat with the V6 option back.
www.motortrend.com/news/2017-honda-cr-v-disappoints-in-real-mpg-city-results-exceeds-epa-highway-rating/
stockjonebills Drive the Hybrid. There's no reason to buy a V6. I can be going 45mph and pass a car and I'm going 75mph when I pull back in in the blink of an eye. I own a 4Runner with the V8 and will pull with it to 100mph and I also raced an brand new Imprezza WRX and it couldn't pull away. Super impressed.
DJ Cordes there is no brand new "imprezza wrx". tho there is the 2015 to present subaru wrx and wrx sti
+AlienNinjaPuppy -- No need to be pedantic, the "Subaru WRX" is an Impreza with a different driveline and other supportive changes.
Everyone misses the v6 on the RAV4 the new ones need more power that Crv looks
Really fun, but I wonder how it would do in the mud and dirt
Rav 4 for me
That vehicle is ugly and cheap.
The Ford will be recycled into pop cans before the Toyota and Honda engines are broken in lol
That is not true my friend, that depends on of the care of owner.
Nathan looks sooooo sad in this
WE WANT TO SEE HOW THE NEW 2017 HONDA CRV DRIVE IN THE SNOW!!!! ALSO THE COMPARISONS OF THE OTHER 2017 SUV'S OF ITS LEAGUE IN THE SNOW!!!
wheres the CX5 and the Forester turbo in the mix????
so Escape or CRV? which is better?
They are good, escape has power when running and some extra features, CRV also is beautiful, good quality and has power but not like Ford Escape. Both are great.
Hondas awd system has always been Garbage.The CR-V looks amazing though.Rav-4 I will take just because I'm a bit bias towards Toyota but the new Mazda CX-5 would be the clear winner.
My last two hondas were SOOOO damn loud.
Vibration alert , a salesman said he felt the vibration at idling in D gear
CX5 is the King of this segment
scorpionbeware please check the sale of the unit compare to honda crv
I didn't say in terms of number of units sold but in terms of driving dynamics and handling.
scorpionbeware not with this 2017 pls do a test drive its drives way better and more grip in the corner
Love my Escape!
I love my escape, specially the one I have, titanium ecoboost
What about the Mazda CX-5?
Inside escape is similar to fusion
What about Subaru Outback 2017,is really way better than those sardines cans
Where's the nissan rogue or murano?
Nathan Spence Still at the dealer...
Still take the RAV4, honda design feels so busy
The CR-V is miles better inside though.
Screw the RAV4. It's ugly.
The Ford shouldn't even count or be in this video, I mean even this guy was struggling to say good things about the car. A good mashup would be the 2017 CX-5 since that is completely redone.
Ford put the same interior in a mustang from 94-04.
Hey everyone keep in mind that the CRV is the latest but definitely not the greatest. I just bought a brand new Honda 3 weeks ago and have had nothing BUT electrical issues. Please don't take my word for it. Go look up Hondas latest electrical issues especially with Bluetooth and infotainment
The front of the crv looks very similar to a odyssey.
Wow VW needs to step it up
I am so annoyed by people who drive Toyotas. They ALWAYS drive very slow!
I love my Honda crv
Honda should have turbocharged the 2.4
Same it should be
so is there any problem/s in the ecoboost engine?
Not mush, sure its not 100% reliable but still its as good as VW,Audi,BMW turbo petrols for reliability
Saud Aleissa if you're looking for a reliable engine get the Rav 4 or the CR-V
guy proulx
Not CR V turbo, the CRV 2.4
Ponygt 662 NA , no turbo's, just one more thing to fail
guy proulx
Not always true,
because if what you are saying is true 99% of car buyers in Europe and Asia are changing cars every 60-100k miles, which dosent happen, still I will agree turbos are not as reliable as NA engines, simple as that, still in this modern age very few keep cars post 100k miles,and for that reason turbos make huge sense
Why would you need more power in suv it not a 911 Porsche
What makes this not a match IP
i would chose rav4 out of all of them, mostly because of reliability
mark rakov me too... Toyota very lasting..
Lol the ugliest car ever built
I was starting to think the Honda might have something, though I prefer Ford's styling. Toyota, ehhh! But the comment as to how genuine your evaluation of Honda was came info question when you thanked Honda for flying you to Northern California. I don't believe you can be completely be unbiased when your meal and plane tickets (and accommodations) are literally being paid by Honda.
Hate them also, but I'd rather take the Rav4
yeah, honda cr-v looks much better than that 2
but the crv competes with the ford flex n Toyota Highlander. the only Honda that competes with rav4 n scape would be the hrv...
you're kidding right? the CR-V is a compact SUV. Just like the Rav4 and Escape. The Highlander and Flex (and Ford Explorer) are midsize SUV's all with 3rd rows. You know kinda like well the HONDA PILOT... The HR-V is a SUB-compact SUV comparable to the Nissan Juke, Subaru Crosstrek, Chevy Trax. Cars like that. Little tiny tiny SUVs.
John Brooks every flex I've seen doesn't have 3rd row. I would assume the pilot goes against 4runner, pathfinder, explorer
build a flex on fords website. it literally has a third row standard. as does the highlander... the crv is compact as well as the rav and the escape.
Ford all the way!
Is it just me or the frame rate on this video is really good, feels fake
it looks great but i stil get the Hyundai Tucson that look much better
Then the cx5 would win.
Ford Escape looks a lot like Hyundai....
Cry looks more macho and then you like the rear end! "Not that there's anything wrong with that"
Just kidding. What about MPG numbers?🍻
Damian Grouse 27/33 they had a graphic
Smiley McCabe Thanks!

I figured this would be the case using a 1.5 turbo in a heavier vehicle.
Honda CR-V got bigger and got little like ford front end and jeep on the back
30k for for escape when can get rdx for 35k?
Obviously this video is sponsored by HONDA!
Rav 4 all the way if you want your money and miles worth. I won't buy anything else but Toyota. my Toyota pick up just reach 500,000 miles and it's still runs talk about reliability.
I have a friend with a 2003 ford escape, and that is still running.
Ozark 89, sounds like you're obsessed with Toyota.
and kia sportage?
I wish the honda cr-v did not have a CVT, either wise, i dont like honda anyway
rav4 has no CD player........fail!
What's a CD player? That like an 8-track?
I was with you until you plugged Honda...... Unfortunately you may be right, but discredited yourself
I liked the CRV but not with all the chrome on it.Not a chrome person.
