Best SUV on the market
Dennis Crowley, Sarasota, FL, 04/12/2018
2011 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Bought this car new in 2011. Now has 253,000 miles on it with original transmission. Brake pads and spark plugs replaced at 210,000 miles. Diligently follow all recommended service. Has dealer installed leather seats. Get 85000 miles from tires. Best car I’ve ever owned. Replaced a Lexus RX which gave poor service.
5 speed auto zaps fun to drive factor
Randy, Haiku, HI, 03/27/2016
2011 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
If you mainly highway commute, this CRV is near perfect. City driving with steep hills, speed bumps, and tight curves causes undesirable engine luging and lack of power. The transmission does not let the engine work in it's comfortable RPM range. A design flaw not present in the fun to drive 2015 Kia Soul. Since this review we have sold the CRV due to the poorly mapped transmission … and overly tight torque converter. Driving the hills and curves in Hawaii was like whipping a lazy mule to keep the engine from lugging. The engine is a fine piece of equipment but the bean counters killed the transmission/torque converter to the detriment of the vehicle driving dynamics.
Great SUV! I would buy it again!

2011 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Bought this car in Feb. 2011, and I still love it today like I did the day I bought it.
Honda quality, looks better than what they did to update it to 2012 (not sure what they were thinking about the back of the 2012 - looks weird), but the real thing here is value. I'm still amazed I could buy this car brand new for the low price I paid for it.
A 2011 Kia Sportage with similar options … was a couple thousand dollars more.
Also, those complaining about road noise should have investigated that beforehand.
Honda never claimed this was a super quiet car.
Reliable, drives great, lots of room, looks great.
Intended to be a family car.
You want smooth and very quiet, then pay more next time.
Great crossover

2011 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
I purchased this vehicle in the past week after doing about a month of researching different vehicles online and visiting the dealership for test drives.As I am a college student I was not able to purchase the EX-L model but I am more than happy with the LX model I purchased.I drove pick up trucks all my life(F150/Ranger/Tacoma) so I needed a SUV that could pull a trailor but also wasn't … bad on gas as my commute is going to be far.I test drove the new CX5,Rav4,Rogue, etc and found these to be the strong points on the Honda;smooth/quiet ride,most power(for the 4 cylinder),interior build quality and there sync system is amazing.I'm able to like/dislike Pandora songs from my steering wheel.
