The 2017 Honda CR-V EX is an easy vehicle to maintain. The headlight and highbeam lights are accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Connecting your phone to the vehicle via Bluetooth shouldn’t be a problem as the instructions on the touchscreen menu are easy to follow. Both the spare tire and jack kit are packaged beneath the trunk lining, allowing for quick removals and easy set-ups in the event of a flat.
However, the 2017 Honda CR-V EX does have its downsides. A large panel underneath the vehicle must be removed to access both the oil drain plug and oil filter, which won’t allow for reliable oil changes. Reaching the fog light may be a problem as you’ll have to remove an additional panel from underneath the vehicle. The transmission fluid cap is hard to reach at the bottom of the engine bay.
