25000 miles and still going strong

2013 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD w/Rear Entertainment (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
The summer came and went uneventfully. Besides the routine in town driving, we took one 700 mile trip south. With the 80mph speed limits, the CRV did adequately, averaging high 20's for the entire trip. This car has held up very well over the past three years, leather interior looks brand new, and besides a few stone chips on the hood, the paint is flawless. As I have stated in … previous reviews, this car has had zero issues, I have kept up with the recommended factory maintenance, which has been very low, oil changes about every 8k miles, tire rotations, and filter changes.
If you are looking for a reliable and roomy smaller crossover, I would recommend looking at a CRV. It may not be the flashiest ride out there, but it will get you to your destination in comfort and not break the bank.
3 year update

2013 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD w/Rear Entertainment (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
After three years and 22,000 miles, our CRV has exceeded our expectations. I have done all the maintenance since new, oil changes have worked out to about every 7500 miles, replaced the cabin and engine air filter, and changed out the rear diff fluid. OEM tires were replaced at 20,000 miles with 3/32" tread remaining. In city driving, gas mileage is typically between 21-24mpg, and on … steady highway driving, 30+mpg is the norm.
The leather interior has held up extremely well, and the seats remain firm but very comfortable. It could use more torque sometimes in city maneuvers, but thats the tradeoff with a normal aspirated 4 cylinder.
My wife has expressed interested in a Lexus RX and Lexus NX, so unless Honda puts a V-6 or Turbo 4 in the next generation Honda CRV, this will probably be our last Honda for awhile.

Great car. One draw back is the 2013 does not allow voice texting while driving.
