I got what I paid for with my CRV, safe/reliable/efficient transportation, with great resale value. It's my third Honda, but after driving the new Mazda CX-5 recently I'm tempted to defect to Mazda.....

I am very happy so far with my honda cr-v (2012) purchased 1 month ago. I will be going on a 1200 mile trip and will be in a better position toevaluate vehicle at end of trip. Ride and cornering is very smooth if you don't yank steering. After a year's driving, i am so impressed with my Honda cr-v. I would recommend vehicle to anyone who's interested in buying a reliable suv. The only negative is under-powering which i heard has been fixed by a turbo. The cabin definitely needs updating to compete with other suv's.

The 2012 CRV infotainment leaves a lot to be desired. The controls are not very user friendly. The driving of the CRV In the mountains was surprisingly very good, it feels like a bigger engine than the 4cyl. And very good fuel mileage. Overall I would recommend this SUV.

2012 redesign included shoddy parts. Bought a 2012 4 days ago, had trouble with it right off the lot. I had done my research but not well enough. Looked up the issue I was having and turns out many others were having it too. The only true remedy that they concluded was a new transmission. Some of these cars only had 80,000 (mine had 93,000). The problem is a vibration when the car accelerates from 20-30 mph. There are 2 service bulletins out for this issue. The 2015 CRV's were part of a massive lawsuit because of it(https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/858761-honda-cr-v-vibration-class-action-settlement/). Had I known this beforehand I wouldn't have purchased it. It's too bad, my family has had Honda's for years but I'm done after this one.
BEWARE

Technology is sorely dated. IPhone 5 does not sync and no idea if or when it will. FM Radio real time traffic is never correct. Shows accidents a mile away from actual location, wet roads when no rain for a week, heavy traffic on clear roads and clear roads when there is heavy traffic. Hands free commands very difficult to use. Sorry I bought a CRV. Went to buy an SUV for my daughter and did not consider Honda. You have been warned.
car great for my purposes

rear differential fluid needs to be changed much more than manual says accord to dealers . Had this vehicle and a 2004 one and had a problem with that one. The 2004 got me thru 24 " snow blizzard about 50 miles did it in a little over 11/4 hrs. blinded and just about no one on road. That had gr. clearence of 8" or more I believe this one ha s less. Always bought american now will never go back although some amer. has improved. wife is handicapped and get into other vehicle s too high to law cheap interiors or you name it . the short of it great car reliable will go thru anything I put it thru without a problem. hadn't severe snow but a few times. went over a few miles op iced up roadwys full of holes thoght ws never going to get out of it without breaking car came out unscathed.

I bought a CRV 2012 8 years ago from Honda dealer and I go to dealer for service. I had extremely painful experience. Although the mileage is only about $87,000 km, so many problems I had including replacing propeller shaft $4000, replacing timing chain $2000, replacing seat belt, car lock issue, replacing a braking pad after only driving for 2 years.

I love my new Honda Crv and was lucky to have a great salecman named Oscar G. Nichols who even offered to pick my new suv up when it needs service.This was a good experience for me because I think I was treated very fair and good.
Nice but poor MPG

My wife and I bought a new 2012 2WD CRV EXL. The handling and Interior design aspects of the CRV are nice. But for a model that is touting its fuel efficiency it does not deliver. I am getting 16 mpg in the city. Not at all what I expected.
Would not buy another Honda

Car vibrates when accelerating from 25 to 35 miles an hour and then from 55 to 65 or 70 miles an hour. There should’ve been a recall on this morrow. Extremely noisy to the point of not being able to hear your radio unless it’s really loud or people talking in the car. There are multiple other problems with this car. I bought it new in 2012 and can’t believe the lack of quality from Honda. This is my first Honda and will be my last.
