My third CRV

I purchased this car back in late Summer. I love the color(sand metallic). I had a 1997 and a 1998 before. I liked them so much, I decided to buy another. My only complaint so far is the 6-CD changer radio, which I plan to remove and repair or replace.

Best Car I've Ever Had

I wanted a safe, reliable, and versatile used car, I bought my 2004 in 2008 and loved driving every minute. The interior is roomy, comfortable and has great options, including the fold down center console. Back seats fold down for transporting large items. Easy to keep clean, and a joy to own. Sold it recently, everything still working great! I bought a newer used CRV 'cause I just love'em!

Everything but the Noise

Love the car, have driven it for 12 years (put on 100,000 miles in Los Angeles) with very few problems. Only drawback is the road noise, which is the only thing that would keep me from buying another one when this one finally dies (if it ever does).

Best small SUV out there

Love the way this car handles - very peppy and responsive. Lots of room inside and the folding rear seats add even more cargo space. Reliable and easy to maintain.

One of the most reliable vehicles I've owned

Not the most smooth ride, but very good overall performance. Good mileage. Maintenance costs seemed high.

Honda Long in the Tooth

My former 2004 Honda CRV EX (AWD) was a quality car. Owned the car 3 years as 3rd owner. Fit and Finish Excellent. Powerful responsive 2.4 liter Engine. Fun Car To Drive ! Excellent road manners. Decent gas mileage. Amazingly great handling in the snow. I will miss it.

VERY RELIABLE WITH GOOD PERFORMANCE FOR PRICE

This has been a very reliable vehicle with no problems. Only routine maintenance required in 125,000 miles. The V-Tech 4 cylinder performs more like a 6 cylinder. Peppy and smooth. This is a great, reliable and economical vehicle - well worth the cost of ownership.

Most desirable car I wanted to own

Everything works perfect as I have expected, although high miles, but looks and runs very reliable and it serves all my local driving needs. I love this car.
