There are issues with grinding noise when it starts, Honda didn't do recall for this issue and it cost around 500$to fix it and it comes back after 6 months. Another issue radio, bluetooth keeps turning off.And dealerships when called didn't hear about any of those issues.

128k miles. The seats are the most uncomfortable ever! The mechanism that holds the driver's seat up does not hold it's position. Mileage is good and other than 2 batteries we have not had any real problems. Ready for new tires.

I'm 6'2"/195 lbs. Fits me well. Very comfortable, heated seats. Excellent acceleration and brakes. 45,000 miles on a set of tires. All works well. No problems at 70,000 miles. Purchased new.

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.

A lot of road noise

This car gets very good gas mileage, I haven't been really happy with the car, has a faulty part that you have to repair in order to align your car, has to repair the entire air conditioning which seems soon for a vehicle only 4 years old. Again, gets good mileage!

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!
