We bought the car new in 2011. Rolled off the truck special order ex-l. (Didn’t have to pay for pin striping under coatings etc). Literally the entire family has driven it to work school vacation to the ice cream shop and so on. Changed fluids and filters religiously and currently have 154000 miles on it. Get in . Start car. Drive. A Honda.....

CRV Road Noise

Had problem with Continental tires on my 2011 CRV. At 10,000 miles a road noise started that was terrible. I put up with it longer than I should have. I was told by the dealer that all four tires needed replacing at only 24,000 miles. In reading several forums CRV road noise is common due to lack of insulation. Neither Honda or Continental would assist. They both have to be knowledgable about their issues. Unless Honda has improved sound insulation on the car underside of the new model, I would not recommend buying a CRV.

I bought this new and the LX model with AWD. Now with 140000 I can't say anything negative. I have had only an AC compressor replacement that did not throw metal into the AC but went out periodically to give me warning. NO other problems other than my own repair of the common power steering O ring air causing leak. A few bucks an 15 minutes. This care has no rust and I live in michigan with no garage. It's interior shows no wear on cloth seats. NO broken functions, nobs or accessories. This car was truly designed for utilitarian use. We have a new HRV and it is far lest sturdy and utilitarian. The 2011 is rough and better made. With regular oil changes, home done brake jobs that are easy this car is easy to maintain from changing plugs to air cleaners and the throttle body. Nine years old and one tail light replacement. Still average 25 miles per gallon city/highway. I changed the transmission fluid and rear differential with honda fluids every 60000 miles. NO tranny problems or rear end noise. Something an owner should do on AWD hondas as they will make noise. This car has plenty of power from my point of view. NO problem entering freeways or passing. This is a real SUV. Sturdy, comfortable and super reliable.

I have had 3 CR-Vs in a row. If they made it in a hybrid, or brought the diesel version to the USA, I would buy another. It is everything it is advertised to be!

Poor acceleration, poor highway mileage and annoying wind noise.
