Best snow car I have ever owned

I live in Colorado and I have a 60 mile commute, so I need a car that can handle snow and a car that I'm not afraid to put a lot of miles on. I've had this car for 3 years and I love it. I'm at 255,000 miles and I expect to get another 100,000 out of this car based on how it has treated me so far. MINOR CONS: It is noisy and my tall husband (6'2") can't get the seat back far enough for comfort, and the cup holders are shallow so coffee mugs have a tendency to fall out but other than those issues it is a great car. Its a nice size, wonderful visibility, and ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IN THE SNOW, uphill or down.

Convenient Runabout Vehicle

I bought my 99 CR-V EX used in 2009 with under 60k on the odo. It was in excellent condition and had been well cared for. After driving it for 6 months I'm extremely pleased with it. Before buying, I read the user reviews on this site, and I'm happy I did. They steered me to a great little vehicle. Maintenance tips: make sure you have the rear differential fluid changed regularly. Have the valves checked for adjustment periodically (I've read many complaints from people whose valves got out of whack and wrecked their engines). Replace the crummy Bridgestone Dueler tires (I got Dunlop SP60s and am happy with them).

I love my Honda, still feels new

I bought this car new. I had an Explorer and it was just too big for me. The CRV fit me perfectly. I have never been sorry. Usual maintenance has been done, I change oil every 3,000 miles. I now have 174,000 miles, most parts are original. Did the drive belt and water pump as preventive maintenance. original brakes, exhaust. I bought slightly oversized tires and have really been happy with that decision, they seem to wear longer. I drive in new fallen snow without a problem. Have never been stranded. I'm still getting about 24 mpg. The interior is still in good condition and I haul my two dogs with me often. I hope to get another 174,000 miles before I would give it up.

My Honda CR-V now has 223,000 miles on it as continues to be a blessing. Drives well, reliable and comfortable. Also gets great gas mileage. You can't go wrong buying this SUV.

Best car I've ever owned

I owned this amazing car for ten years and she purred like a kitten to 238,000 miles. I loved this car, highly reliable and I did all regular maintenance on the body and under the hood and she gave me exactly zero issues. I was hit by a distracted driver. Her 19 year old airbags deployed just as they were supposed to and saved me. I'll never forget this wonderful car.
