Used 2010 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
NICE..but
Purchased the CR-V EX-L for my wife. Love the styling - inside and out. Leather is high quality. Like other owners, think a bigger engine (V6?) would be a plus. However, seems peppy enough when starting from a red light or merging onto highway. Dash is nice, except the LCD portion in the middle - too cluttered. Also, note no scheduled printed maintenance manual - have to rely on the LCD screen "Maintenance Minder" with a one or two digit code - I like to know in advance what's coming up (i.e.: oil change, or major $$$ service.) Also thought mileage would be better than around 21 m.p.g. (50/50 highway / city.) I think it is an excellent small car-like SUV. Sharp car - no problems.
Survived the flip over w/o a scratch!
I flipped over on 9/27/09. Totaled the car. I walked out of my car without a scratch on my body. I will buy this car again!

enjoying the ride
I did my homework before purchase, looked at car review sites as well as consumer reviews so did not have any unexpected surprises, for eg. Expected some road noise, gas mileage ok but not great.
Will have to change tires in 1 year :(
I have had the CR-V for a year. I REALLY like it. BUT I was dissappointed to find out that I have to buy new tires after only 1 year. The original tires got cupped because they have the LOWEST possible wear-rating of 360. So, keep this in mind when buying. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the CR-V.
My First Honda
I have friends who drive CR-Vs and love them. I researched different cars in its class and got a good deal on this. It does have more road noise than my former car did though the ride and seats are very comfortable. The radio, CD, MP3 system is great and sounds terrific. The interior is roomy and deceiving from the outside. I'm looking forward to see how it handles in the snow. Not even 700 miles on it and I'm getting 27.5 MPG on the highway.
