Not What I Was Expecting From A Honda

I live in Wisconsin and bought the CRV so I wouldn't have problems in the snow. In that regard it's great. Actually I like a lot about it but two big problems really make me question buying another Honda in the future. The first to show up was that it can't make it between oil changes without adding oil. Honda knows there is a problem on some CRV's but after mileage test, says mine is fine and I just need to check the oil frequently. Never had a car that I had to worry about adding quarts of oil between oil changes. The second problem just happened. The air conditioner stopped working. This is at 7 years and 7 months and a little over 80,000 miles. Honda has a service bulletin involving the air conditioner and extended the warranty to 7 years or 100,000 miles because they know they have a defect. Mine was a hair over $1,000 to repair and Honda would not help cover the cost at all. Getting ready to sell it before it has another expensive repair especially since the oil problem makes me believe I will not get many miles out of the engine. Toyota seems to get better marks for reliability so it looks like it's time for a switch.

If you mainly highway commute, this CRV is near perfect. City driving with steep hills, speed bumps, and tight curves causes undesirable engine luging and lack of power. The transmission does not let the engine work in it's comfortable RPM range. A design flaw not present in the fun to drive 2015 Kia Soul. Since this review we have sold the CRV due to the poorly mapped transmission and overly tight torque converter. Driving the hills and curves in Hawaii was like whipping a lazy mule to keep the engine from lugging. The engine is a fine piece of equipment but the bean counters killed the transmission/torque converter to the detriment of the vehicle driving dynamics.

Honda still makes better engine than Toyota. 2011 CRV is the last production year of 3rd Gen of CRV, and it's reliable. I have owned it for 8 years now and it is still running great. I just hope that all car makers can be like Honda or Toyota which continue to put reliability and resale value as #1 priority for their cars

I love this car. Excellent for all my needs without too many frills. I got another one just like my previous one after insurance totaled the first one.

We have owned the CRV for about a year now and so far we are happy about it. It is NOT perfect and we still have some unresolved minor rattle sound coming from the front passenger side dash board, but again NO car is perfect, period. The car is the best selling SUV in USA, and on kbb enjoy the #7 slot for the best resale value award. Reliability history is great. With the money paid, I found that the interior design (especially the trip computer, etc.), provide excellent value. The 2012 model also improved the roof strength so I think safety wise it should be a all 5-stars vehicle. Build quality in general is good (can't compare to a Mercedes, but not bad either). We like it so far.
