Best Fuel Efficiency in an SUV

My wife and I are touring musicians and although we would have preferred to buy a hybrid to get better fuel efficiency, we needed an SUV that would fit all of our gear. However, this car totally amazed us! We average about 35,000 miles per year and have been getting up to 33mpg on the highway even though the EPA only lists it at around 26mpg. This car is extremely comfortable, safe, and reliable. My mother just recently bought a new CR-V based on my recommendation and experience with ours.
How it did thrive in 2005!

Of course Honda should always be praised for it's engine reliability and performance (my main concerns when buying) but there have been a few issues I wished I could have seen coming. First of all, the front seat leg room is not good if you're over 6 feet tall. Secondly, the ride (suspension) left lots to be desired. Thirdly, changing the headlight bulbs is a bit of a chore which wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't burn out so often. And lastly, the instrument bulbs are also quite unsatisfactory. I'm hoping the 2018 models have addressed those issues. If they have, I WILL buy another CRV.

I love the CRV. Gas mileage averages in town around 24 mpg, while on highway I've gotten as high as 30 mpg. Large enough for soccer games and all that we need, yet small enough that maneuvering is similar to driving a small car. Reliability wise, it's a Honda - enough said! Seats could be a little more comfortable, but for the price this is a great automobile. Love the Heating/AC controls, and cruise is conveniently on steering wheel. Perfect vehicle for everyday tasks, and also fits the bill for travel.

I love my crv but I wish they had a better heating system in them for the winter months.. I find the higher I set my heater the more it seems to suck the gas gauge down ( fast) maybe I am setting it wrong or something. Also I wish they would put a bigger gas tank on them .. Other than that I love my crv
A/C Compressor "Black Death"

I have been a victim of the A/C compressor defect, along with countless others. I have a 2005 CR-V, which had the first compressor go bad at 56,000 miles. I bought it new from Coral Springs Auto Mall in 08/05. In 05/08, the A/C system failed to blow cold air. I took it in and the dealer told me that the compressor "exploded" and shot filament through the whole system, hoses and all had to be replaced for 3200.00. I am a single mother, and could not afford that. I called my own personal mechanic, who told me that my compressor "locked up", brought it out, and showed me what happened and how it worked. He fixed it for 1300.00.
