Great Reliable Entry-Level Car

This is a great entry-level vehicle. We purchased a 2008 EX-L in 2011. We sold it in 2018 with 90,000 miles on it. Over the course of our ownership, it required $2,150.00 in repairs, which included 2 rear strut replacements, an A/C repair, and a starter replacement. The EX-L has a very comfortable near-luxury interior. We loved the rear shelf, which made excellent use of its trunk space. The CRV drives and handles well, but is by no means athletic. It was a very reliable vehicle, never leaving us stranded, save for a dead battery or two.

Best car I've owned so far!

I'm really going to miss it. Low cost, high utility, good looks, and fun to drive. FWD was great even in the winter. Good thing I'm getting another one!

Great car. Fun to drive with plenty of space.

Met all of my nerds. Great gas mileage. Plenty of storage space. Love the sunroof and heated seats. A very reliable vehicle which will suit my needs for a long time.

Awesome Value: Functional affordable and safe

The CRV easily supports a family of 4 and can stretch to a family of 5 on occasion. No worries about safety or reliability. Gas mileage, low maintenance and low insurance costs all make it an affordable option.

I hope to drive this car to over 500,000 miles. This car has been so reliable and good-looking, fuel efficient and safe. I hope to keep it for years to come.

Best car I have owned

This CRV has been excellent. If my family wasn?t growing I would not get rid of it. Have owned many cars and this has been by far the best one
