I love my white 2012 CR-V. Had it pinstriped in red/black and it looks awesome! We had a 2007, wow how the car has improved! Have had the car since January 2012, and have not experienced one problem. We are getting 30.2 mpg in mixed driving, love the backup mirror, this car is simply FUN to drive. It will be a keeper for a long time!

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.
