This car saved my life.

This was my first car that I got for my 16th birthday. I loved her and drove the hell out of her. I was recently involved in a car accident where my car was totaled. I think that if I were in any other car I would be seriously hurt, but I'm not. She ran great on gas. I did experience the problem where there was a loud grinding sound when starting the car, but it was never an issue that diminished the car's performance. If you are looking for a safe and reliable car for you or your child, this is it. I got mine at 80,000 miles and had her til about 104,000. Never had a problem. Changed the tires once, which was normal because the tires were very old, but other than that only ever had to change the oil. I'll really miss this car.

The 100K mile Gem!

The CRV holds up very well and drives like new with 100K miles on it. Seat comfort is excellent. Love everything. The headlights were upgraded to LED and that helped a lot. Then there is the sound system. Doesn't sound good until you are on XM satellite radio. Even then, for a car approaching $30,000 or more, the stereo is weak and looks difficult to upgrade. Bummer, but we have had accords and really like the ease of getting in and out better.

Just picked up my 2012 CRV-EX-L from the dealer and I love it!! What a fun vehicle and practical as well. I was surprised how "zippy" the car is when pulling out from an intersection or getting up to speed to flow with traffic. Getting about 27 mpg combined highway/city, but that's according to the mpg indicator. I'll find out how good it is when a do several fill-ups and calculate the mpg based on calculating the gallons/miles on a calculator. There's nothing I don't like, except for it takes time to get used to the XM radio and all the settings.
