This car is reliable and handles the road well. My version has heated seats and electric drive's seat as well as factory tint and electric sun roolf. The seats are leather and easy to maintain. I inititally intended to buy a brand-new Honda and select all my extras, but I bought instead a two-year old certified used because I SO appreciated the color; further, it had all of the add-ons I wanted. It's just a great HONDA. Love it love it love it.

I like all of the features of my CR-V, but does anyone else have a problem with the driver's side legroom? I am 6'2" and have NEVER had a problem with legroom before; I can't drive this car for more than 2 hours without severe cramps.

I bought my CRV about a week ago from a broker and I love it. I got the urban titanium color and it is really cute. The car with the color and options I wanted at the price I was looking for was hard to find since its such a new model, so I went thru a car broker. I had to pay a $300 fee upfront but they found the exact car I was looking for (on a boat still being shipped over) and negotiated an amazing deal with the dealer. I got it for $300 over invoice. I love all the features except for two that I can think of off hand. The parking brake is set too low so it sometimes hits my left shin depending on how I'm sitting. It also doesn't sync well enough with my iPhone to play music.

After 4 weeks and 4000 miles, I have to say that I am truly impressed with this vehicle. It has met or exceeded every expectation I have had about both a Honda and the CR-V line. The car is well put together both inside and out, with function-by-design throughout. The ride is smooth and quiet, the acceleration is totally fine and the braking is excellent. The model I purchased has AWD and I have used it in snow a few times and found it to be excellent. Keeps totally control during wheel slippage and remains sure-footed in deep snow. Really confidence building when carrying the family through bad weather. This has proven to be an excellent choice and a very strong love affair with my car.
Honda PROBLEMS!

My 2012 CRV had a very common problem according to the searches I did online. At about 89,000 miles a defective VTC Actuator caused a loud rattling noise at start-up. I saw that many CRV owners complained of this condition which Honda has refused to do any recalls on. One owner had the problem soon after purchasing a NEW CRV and the dealer would do NOTHING in any sort of new car coverage. Another had the repair done TWICE! Nor would Honda do anything to resolve the issue. Meanwhile my vehicle was worthless in trade until I paid over $1,200 to repair the noise to a reputable automotive mechanic. Just google "CRV makes noise at start" This was my second Honda CRV. My previous one was a 2001 which required a "common problem" repair (window malfunction), also unrecognized by dealerships as worthy of any recall. If Honda cannot stand by their product, I need to look elsewhere. The many nice features are all worthless to me if my car is worthless in trade AND Honda dealers fail to provide promised reliability. Search "honda vtc actuator" and you can see the Accord shares a similar problem.
