PERHAPS THE BEST CAR I'VE OWNED IN SIXTY YEARS
caraewron, San Diego, CA, 01/28/2013
2013 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Bought a 2012 CR-V LX Nov. 1, 2012 for $21,600 plus tax and license.
Gave away my 10 year old Matrix which had held up nicely.
Shopped online for best prices.
I saved $1,100 by buying from a dealer 70 miles north.
Honda seems to have anticipated what I want in a car:
good radio sound; easily read instrument panel; daytime running lights; radio controls on steering wheel; good … acceleration; head room; comfortable back seats; height adjustable front seat; constant mpg readout; respectable gas mileage; those high and narrow taillights; headlights are good high and low.
The front seat seems almost to firm but most seats are a challenge for a tall (6ft 2in) driver.
I'd gladly buy it again.
Loosing faith in Honda

2013 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
I don't know what's going on with Honda, but it's not as used to be.
Build quality is definitely not up to par.
Bought a brand new CR-V a year ago.
After the first rain, it had a spare tire wheel compartment full of water.
It took dealership 3 tries and an external shop to fix leaking problems. Battery died when weather hit below 0.
This should not happen on a 10 months old car.
Wheel … wells have no protective covers.
Dealership told me it was done by design and the bare metal is treated for rust corrosion, but rust corrosion doesn't protect from stones chipping at the paint.
And to top it off, all lug nuts are rusted.
Car is 1 year old!!!
Very, very disappointed!
My new CRV after 10 years

2013 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Yes, finally decided to get back into debt (after 5 of no car payments)...it was time, my 2002 CRV (which I bought new) already has 240,000. miles (that's right)...no engine or tramission overhaul has been needed....the car is still in excellent shape, so much that now it was passed to my son...
That's the main reason as to why I bought another CVR .... "RELIABILITY"..
The 2013 CVR LX … has a very confortable ride, little wind noise in the highway, good visibilty, good handling.
Defective CRV 2013

2013 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
This car lacks power, it is nice looking but it came defective. at 500 needed to be repair for defective components that made the check engine light go on, then i found water in the trunk. The car needed to be sealed and after the next rain, there is water again.
Not recommended!!
Although the sticker says it may give you 25-30 miles per gallon, it never does. The max was 22 mpg
