Less enthusiastic after 3.5 years

When first purchased, I experienced the PTTR issue. I had to tell the dealership about the TSB that was available to fix it. After the TSB, the PTTR was gone, and has been done for the next 50k+ miles. Now at 50k+ miles @ 3.5 years, the dreadful, well known on many websites (search for it), air conditioning failure occured. Total cost was $2840. American Honda decided to goodwill $2000 of the cost. It is still disappointing, becuase there really is no definite fix to the AC failure and it could happen again. The AC should not be a wear & tear item. There have been 3 actual safety recalls on the vehicle.

We put over 13,000 miles within 8 months of ownership. There is no problem or whatsover with this quality SUV. I could not notice the difference between this SUV and the MDX that my brother just bought. Mine is just quiet as his except for $20K less.

Excellent vehicle! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a small SUV. Very quiet and gets pretty good gas mileage (25 MPG). Reasonably peppy but would like a little more horsepower. Real-time FWD works very well. Love the 6-disc CD changer. Air conditioner works extremely well, cooling the car in seconds.

I use to have a rav4 and find the crv is a bit bigger. I feel as though I have more car wrapped around me. It handled very well in a very rough winter last year. I have had no problems at all with this car. I love it.

I bought my CRV in New York State. The winters there can be bad at times. But my Little Red Lady has stood them well and gets me where I had to be without any problems. It starts everytime and is comfortable to be in for everybody.
