Solid SUV
Overall, my CR-V has been reliable and pleasant to drive. I currently have a little over 102,000 miles on it, and I've had no major mechanical issues with it. It is still on its original brakes. No leaks of any kind. AC still blows cold. So far, the only money I've spent on it has gone to maintenance, which has been carried out as suggested by the Honda maintenance minder. The interior is showing some wear, but this is to be expected after 5 years with me. My only issues, are the following: 1) Compass Sensor: my compass sensor has behaved erratically for several months now and causes the direction in which I am traveling to display incorrectly and constantly blink when I drive. The fix suggested by the owners manual does not fix the problem. Sometimes, the problem goes away, and the compass works properly again. 2) Batteries don't seem to last long with this vehicle. I'm lucky if I get 18 months out of one. My electrical system always checks out fine during maintenance. 3) My CR-V has the well-documented "croak" that can be head when the vehicle is stopped and the AC is running. When I first started hearing it, it was highly annoying, but I eventually got used to it. Again, these are minor issues, and overall the vehicle has been highly-dependable. I hope to put another 100K miles on it over the next few years.

2014 Honda CRV Disaster
This was our 4th Honda automobile. It was also our last. This model was extremely noisy, rough riding and technologically insufficient. The navigation system was not user friendly and in fact our salesman couldn't show us how to use it. Very poor quality compared to previous years. Traded it for a 2015 Ford Edge. Bye, bye Honda.

Lost my favorite aspects of car
Happy with reliability of CRV. However, there were 3 things I loved about my 2010 CRV that are now gone. Floor to roof cargo height reduced by 8" (have to put bike on slant now). Open floor area between front seats (great for computer bag) now filled with a useless console. Middle folding rear seat good for putting skiies through and 2 passengers - gone to 2/3, 1/3 split - now skiies and only 1 passenger. Plastic grey trim on top level trim - ugly and cheap. So my favorite things about car gone and I am in work around mode. Probably will look at other alternatives. Hoping the tires on this car last longer than the 30K on 2010 model. Honda has turned a "Sport utility" vehicle into just another "family" vehicle.

My 3rd CRV
This is the 3rd CRV I have owned. Jimmy Sears at Autonation Honda in Chandler, AZ was my sales person and the experience was exceptional. Now I am the proud owner of a 2014 CRV. I have owned two others previously and traded them in to drive other vehicle I thought would be THE vehicle for me. Obviously I have come back to the CRV. In my opinion it is tough to beat the convenience and reliability of these vehicles. They give you the comfort of a sedan with the convenience of an SUV and the gas mileage of an economy car. I'm done experimenting with other vehicles. I have my CRV and this what I plan to drive from now on.

I'll never get the Honda mystique
Our CR-V has been a disappointment since the day we drove it (new) off the dealer lot: The Intermediate shaft has rattled all the time (but remarkably our local Honda dealer is never able to replicate). The blower motor for the a/c fan never worked right, finally dying right after the warranty expired. The gas mileage is pathetic -- my father's V6 engine in his Ford Escape got comparable mileage to the 4-cylinder CR-V. Cargo space is lacking compared to other vehicles in this segment. We rented a Rav-4 one time while another car was being fixed after an accident. The rear capacity, which appears smaller, is significantly bigger. Technology is lacking: Since a recent iOS update, the bluetooth can no longer display the name on the Caller ID on phone calls (yet it manages to when displaying text messages). (Honda blames Apple; yet my friends with other cars from other manufacturers don't seem to have the same problem after an iOS update). The power locks are failing at four years and 80,000 miles. Replaced the right rear door and back tailgate in January 2018. It is now March 2018 and the rear tailgate has failed again. (There is no option to open it when the locks fail.) All in all, I'll never understand why people pay extra for Honda. The car isn't well-built (fit and trim rattles, it's noisy on the road -- good luck listening to the radio and driving at highway speeds). The service department at Honda dealers in the Dallas area, where I live, leave a lot to be desired. All in all, you'd be better off with any other SUV.
