Best Car I Have Ever Owned

I have a 2004 Honda CRV with over 198,000 miles. I just love this car. I felt I needed to buy something newer and bought a pre-owned 2016 Honda CRV and am so disappointed. I kept my 04 and glad I did. Still trying to decide whether to keep the 16 or not. Honda has ruined the CRV by making it like every other SUV on the market. It was a sporty, casual car and now it's like a luxury car and bigger too. So disappointed in the new ones. Love all the nooks and crannies in my 04. There is absolutely no storage in the new ones. I drive it on the beach and it does great. I take it through the car wash after though. I could go on and on but I love Hondas and they are very reliable and low maintenance. My mechanic says I could get another 100K out of my 04 and I'm sure I could. Best car EVER....:)

Its reliable with lots of trunk space

It gets me from A to B, and I still have not yet needed the transmission to be rebuilt. Its kind of a boring car, but its so dam reliable and ALWAYS has enough space. Everywhere.

Had since 2005

The crv met all my needs for years but lately have been putting alot of work into it. Also had about 6 different recalls. The interior lighting always goes out. After about 100k miles I had to get a new ignition which cost $500

Great car for 13 years

I love it! Honda doesn't do very well with designing the exterior of their cars, but it's a very reliable vehicle.

Best SUV On Market

Stayed in Family since new in 2003. Regular and particular maintenance. Used Kendall Oil since new. Michelin tires and Honda brakes. 210, 000 when involved in accident and caught fire. It would be hard to find another one in this great of shape!
