Bought a neglected 2005 CRV in 2020 with 150k miles on
Bought a neglected 2005 CRV in 2020 with 150k miles on it. Did most of the repairs myself (extensive YouTube videos) and cheap parts are available. I put in Royal Purple high mileage oil, changed out the transmission fluid (really easy) every 15k miles. New plugs and wires, rear differential fluid change, valve cover gasket, and vvt solenoid with O2 sensors. Believe it or not that’s only $400 and I paid $2000. It runs like new. Only bad feature is the paint is terrible for this silver car in Florida. Going strong with 185k miles and I fully expect to get more than 220k.

Old car. 300k. Typical replacement items. Always starts. Perfect size and utility. Easy to work on. Kinda ugly. Drives great. Stereo is great. Mileage is notable. Add oil and keep on going

Very reliable
I purchased my 2005 Honda CRV new & I still have it. It is 15 1/2 years old. It’s great if you want a small SUV. It’s not really comfy for tall people though. That’s the only drawback. I just had to change my back rotors for the first time & I have approximately 133K miles.

Terrible runs hot transmission fluid burns hot
Don't buy it as a used car! Honda has no recall on the problem of the transmission fluid problem..My children bought it for me to drive when I lost my car to creditors due to Covid

Love the 2005 style of the CRV
I love the height I get in the CRV, but not too high, so it is still easy to get in and out of. The design is also pleasing to the eye.
