I bought mine in 2021 with 156000 miles on it for $2000. It needed a lot of repairs and they were readily available with online videos. I did the repairs myself and put about $450 of parts into it. So far, 30k miles later, it’s dependable and still getting 23 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. I expect this vehicle to be my daily driver for another 3-4 years easy.

RATTLE NOISE

I love my CR-V a lot. I feel safe in it. The only problem I have is with my back window (hatch). No matter how tight I close (or slam) it, it's seems to make noise as I'm driving down the road. I have to turn my radio up just to not hear it, but that doesn't get rid of the fact that it's there. In looking at the design of the window, I would think there would be some rubber padding or something between the window and how it attaches. Maybe that is why it's rattling. Dealer said it's as tight as it will go. Also pulls to the right on acceleration like previous posts stated. Dealer said front wheel drives do that. Right wheel is the power wheel and is the reason it pulls? Still love it.

This is our first CR-V but fourth Honda and its proving to be just as reliable as the others (now 3 yrs old with 32000miles). Mileage is worse than our other Hondas but its a SUV. We have used all 72cu ft of cargo space more than we thought we would, can't imagine how we lived without a SUV before. For those complaining about road noise I suggest Goodyear Comfortreds, helps a lot with noise and its a good tire as well.

We enjoy our CRV. It has two major problems for us that may not bother anyone else. The center casino should be replace with a true console not a tray like it has now. Honda needs to quite the road noise. I did a lot of undercoating but I may sell the vehicle because of the road noise. I have had not one single problem otherwise.
My Last CR-V

This is our second and last CR-V. Has served us well but we are just tired of this small vehicle (we are not large people). Just put second set of rear rotor and pads on the rear at 50,000 miles. Fronts on second set of pads. Need to replace the rear caliper, $375 at dealer for parts only. $74 at autozone. CR-V is alright for around-town driving but too small for a road trip. OEM tires terrible - now on Michelins and much better ride. 26-27 mpg on highway trip at 70-75 mph. AWD works great as we live in Buffalo snow belt. Considering used grand caravan or Odyssey.
