I think I might have found a replacement vehicle for my daughter. A 2017 Honda CR-V AWD, 4 cylinder turbo. One owner vehicle 113k miles. Any input on issues/reliability with these?
Our 2017 has had some odd issues, right strut cartridge blew prematurely (never heard of anyone having this issue), AC stopped when tiny sensor wire broke. Both fixed. Early on we had a battery drain issue. Yelled at the dealer they did all the software updates. New plugs, checked the "valve gap". Like new. I think around 120K miles now.I think I might have found a replacement vehicle for my daughter. A 2017 Honda CR-V AWD, 4 cylinder turbo. One owner vehicle 113k miles.

2016 low miles, yes.2017? Nope
If you use complete fuel system cleaner there's a good chance you won't have to ever have to have the injectors replaced. But if they require replacement, the high pressure fuel lines and connectors and seals also have to be replaced. They are all one time use items. And this job is one best done by a highly trained certified auto mechanic. A high pressure fuel leak usually results in the vehicle burning up and being totaled. This is not a job for the do it yourself untrained mechanic.Injectors, A/C compressor shaft seals, lots of software updates and headgasket (at higher mileage).
Not true. Injector failures are a major issue with the 1.5t and no amount of snake oil will prevent it.If you use complete fuel system cleaner there's a good chance you won't have to ever have to have the injectors replaced.

Are the injector failures melting, or clogged? If clogged, the PEA in fuel system cleaners like RedLine SI - 1 if used fairly often may actually prevent problems.Not true. Injector failures are a major issue with the 1.5t and no amount of snake oil will prevent it.
Failure mode is unclear, but GDI environment is very different than port. Lots of carbon build up on the tips.Are the injector failures melting, or clogged? If clogged, the PEA in fuel system cleaners like RedLine SI - 1 if used fairly often may actually prevent problems.
Maybe there is not enough data to really determine one way or the other, since very few actually use complete fuel system cleaners with enough PEA in it on a regular basis.
Cleaners with good amounts of PEA are not snake oil. They work for many engines. The 1.5t ?
What mileage are people seeing all these failures? HG? Injectors? AC?
I believe there was a no charge AC Warranty fix on the compressor seal when the sensor wire was fixed.
How long would you look for an 8 YO CR-V with <30k miles?If it were me, I would look for a 2016 with 30 K miles or less, and change the cvt, rear end, brake, and antifreeze fluids using only honda fluids.
That is the thing. I mean same thing with older M2 for me. Finding a perfect used car….people are happily hanging onto good stuffHow long would you look for an 8 YO CR-V with <30k miles?
Just for giggles did a nationwide search on Cars.com and there are 18 listed, all over $20k. They had MSRP of $24-30k.
Huh?2016 low miles, yes.
Usually between 75-125K.What mileage are people seeing all these failures? HG? Injectors? AC?
