When I bought this car, it was already 11 years old. Nevertheless, it's been an incredible reliable tank of a car that's never given me any trouble. Its small size and 4-cylinder engine don't sound capable on paper, but this SUV has all the power it needs to carry it off-road and hauling heavy cargo. Its automatic AWD has literally never failed me no matter what crazy snowy-icy conditions I drive it in. This car once drove uphill on a road that was unplowed and covered with 5 inches of icy snow. She just clawed right up the hill like the snow wasn't even there. The interior is comfortable and spacious, the blind spots are negligible. It handles well, and the automatic transmission has very minimal lag when shifting; it's a lot faster than some other sluggish automatics I've driven. The sound system isn't the best I've ever heard in a car but it's good enough for me once I've adjusted the treble and bass knobs. Every guest I've had to drive in this car has complimented me on it for its looks, both inside and outside. If you can, go for the beige interior. It is PRIMO classy. If you keep this car clean and healthy, it'll last you ages and ages without any trouble. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this tough little SUV!! From Sept. 2005 thrul March 2012 I've put about 70,000 miles on my EX automatic transmission, city driving about 3/4 of the time. It's agile (fantastic turn circumference & good get-up-and-go for hwy on-ramps), comfortable & roomy (great passenger & cargo space! Car seat plus 2 adults fit in back), & has cheerfully handled our over-loaded vacation road trips. I've not had to put a dime into my CR-V except for scheduled maintenance & to (rarely) replace "disposables" like a bulb or tires. Not luxurious but quite comfortable. Road noise is annoyingly pronounced (get with it, Honda!!), but otherwise, this attractive workhorse has been a pure joy!

We have put 130,000 miles on this CR-V with no problems whatsoever. Handles great and nice to drive. A v6 is unnecessary, this vehicle has all the power we need. MPG changes considerably if driving into the wind. We've made as little as 20 and as much as 50 (with a gale tale wind), but it averages 27-28 most of the time on the highway.

We traded a 1998 Accord with 190000 odometer miles for this Honda LX CRV. In 3 weeks we put 5400 miles on the vehicle. Temperatures from 105 deg. in AZ to below freezing in Montana. Gas from $4.00 in Ca. to $2.75 in Wy. I like being higher above the road. We purchasd the 4 cyl Auto for the fuel economy. The lowest mpg was in Yuma, AZ., around town, temp 105 deg F at 18.5 mpg with Generic Gas. The best was 33 mpg in the Sacramento Valley and 32 mpg in Wy. both with brand name Gas. We did not experience any mechanical failures on this trip. Honda has done a good job with the layout of the driver and passenger accessories. The front door storage is inconvenient. I give the CRV a rating of 9.

I've had my Honda CRV for over 10 years. I refuse to get a new car because there isn't anything wrong with it! I finally gave it a 10 year birthday present with a tune up, radiator flush, etc. when it hit 100,000 miles. I have had to get new brakes, struts and tires, but no major mechanical problems with it in the past 10 years. It goes in for oil changes but not much else. I will keep it until it literally falls apart. Its been and is a great car. Because its an older model, I don't have navigation tools or satellite radio, which would be nice. (but it does have a cassette player!!) I'm curious to see how many miles it will have when I do decide to trade it in on a new CRV - probably in 20 years! I have heard people say that CRVs have poor sound insulation, but its not much different than other cars from what I have observed.
