First time I drove it I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't have good preconceived notions regarding this SUV. However, the CR-V is zippy, comfortable and has punch when you need it most. My family loves the reclining rear seats. I am extremely pleased with the easy to use controls, the many cup holders and sound system. Visibility is great Sitting in the drivers seat

Loved my “green machine” most of the time

Hopefully all the little things that drive me nutz have been corrected... Getting a head full of water opening the back in the rain, not able to see the road well over the hood (seat won’t go high enough), seatbelts that lock up, leather arm rest on the door wearing out and extreme road noise. Yikes! Otherwise she has been dependable, efficient and safe. My second CRV. Really a good car overall.

The CR-V is my first new vehicle in eleven years and I selected carefully. No disappointments. It is comfort, utility, style and dependability rolled into a nice neat package. Shortly after taking delivery we drove "the Beaver" trans continent for a total of 11K miles and it never skipped a beat. Mileage was spot on the ratings, but the power was peppier than I expected. Finally, I delayed writing this review because I wanted to wait for a couple of "snow trials" before commenting here. The original Conti tires came off and Blizzaks went on... nothing stops the Beaver now!

Sold my 2005 CRV with 165,000 miles for $6,000 and purchased a two year old 2009 CR-V from the dealer with 25,000 miles. It ran GREAT for all eight years, was super dependable, and handled well on the highway cruising at higher speeds. I put 165,000 miles on it and it never broke down. Besides regular maintenance items, I only replaced the a/c compressor and a window (or door lock) actuator. Just traded it in with 190,000 miles on it towards a 2016 CR-V with 25,000 miles.
