"I test drove several small SUVs and settled on the CR-V for several reasons. It's a Honda, with a great track record of reliability and value. It drove better than the other vehicles I tried. It didn't feel like a tank -- nimbly and kind of fun. I was looking for a decent car with AWD that I can load up with stuff (kids, dogs, recyclables, etc.) that wasn't quite a minivan. This is it! It's not an exciting car, but it's the perfect car for my lifestyle. Not particularly macho, but that's doesn't bother me."

"This is my second Honda CRV. My first was a 1999 EX and got 200,000 miles and I'm expecting the same or more from my new-to-me 2011 SE. I love that it is so responsive and handles easily while providing comfort for 5 people and amazing cargo space. There's lots of headroom and legroom. I appreciate the all-wheel drive for Nebraska's unpredictable weather. The gas mileage is descent for an SUV. I'm averaging about 23 in town and 28 on the highway."

"I have avoided owning a Honda because of bad experience in the past with another product. I am so glad I tried this car because I find it has a substantial feeling when I am driving it and it is so easy to handle. I like the height of the car and because it is built on a higher platform I am able to see traffic better. It has a very smooth ride and for just a base model it is nicely equipped. Everything I need. Great breaking, quick pickup when needed. I do find on long rides the seating is a little stiff. Could be a little more comfortable."

"I've been driving a mini-van for the past eight years and missed my Honda Accord but wanted an SUV. Things I like: 1) 4-wheel drive, 2) safety, 3) sporty feel, 4) gas mileage. Things I wish were different: 1) "bouncy ride," 2) road noise, 3) lack of power. I do think the 2012 model has fixed the first two issues but I could not get a 2012 LX model due to the slow production. There are many EX and EX-L models available but out of my price range. Overall the 2011 model is really nice and I can live with a few minor issues--especially since my clunky mini-van is gone! I haven't driven it on snow so the 4WD will be tested in the next few months. It has helped me drive off a few rutty baseball field roads."

"We wanted a 4wd, 4c with some get up and go. We tested them all. Honda was the best. also very roomy. still learning about the blind spots though. the EX-L is worth the extra."

"I purchased a 2011 CRV last Sept.-my wife's choice-I was looking at a KIA Sorento. I wished I would have used my 1st choice-but I didn't-bad choice-this CRV has never run properly-lugs down going up an incline-runs poorly at stoplight-rough like it misses-has been tested by Honda tech-nothing codes-but he stated'does run poorly. Gets 22-24 on istate-I'm waiting for Honda rep to ck it out-if I stay with CRV-definitely want to go to 2012. Srv dept states-they never had one like this-great-I'm the unlucky one."

"We searched high and low for the EX-L trimline for the CRV because we liked the leather, reliability of Honda, crash rating (safety) and body style. After considering a Toyota Rav4, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Kia Sorrento, Hyundai Tucson and Hyundai Santa Fe, we decided on the CRV. So glad we did!"

"Refinement is the bottom line here. The way this thing stops and goes and steers defines the difference between it and the competition. I came out of a 2 yr Pilot lease and at first was dissapointed in my decision. After driving for 10k miles I now appreciate the car for what it is. probably the most practiacal overall. Easy to park, good on gas, reasonalble cargo and passenger abilities and refined which most out there have many areas of shortcommings when compared to the Honda. The knock offs are cheaper and do look "nice" but that is about it. Not much different than comparing a fake purse to the real deal."

"The car rides and drives well. The drivers seat bottom is uncomfortable due to a bar under the seat. Road noise is a little high but this is normal for a Honda product. Rear seat room is ok but with a child seat in the rear it is very tight for the child to climb into there seat. Gas mileage is 27 to 28 MPG on the highway. I have not checked MPG around town. Cargo room is Ok. I have driven the 2012 version. They have made some improvements but they are not enough to warrant trading a 2011 model for a 2012."
