Short owned

Only have had it for a couple weeks, but love the ride, great room for transporting items. Only thing I don't find convenient is the cup holders are too small for large cups/bottles (liter size).

Solid car for the money

We have driven almost 2000 miles on the car in the past month. The driver's seat could be better, but a good vehicle for most purposes. On a 3 hour drive, my back can tell the difference between the CR-V and my truck.

Since the auto will be used for business, I wanted to make sure I would purchase a reliable auto for all conditions. I feel my Honda will meet this test.

BEST SMALL SUV

I bought this new in 2009 and it is now three years old with 30,000 miles. No complaints at all. I recently replaced the tires which made it a lot quieter. Plenty of room and power and the heated leather seats are great. The mileage is about what I expected, not great but it wont break the bank. I wish it had Blue Tooth and I understand that the new ones do so maybe a trade in next year.

Love It

I was looking for a dependable vehicle. This is it. The Honda CRV fits me perfectly. Good gas mileage...better than advertised. Plenty of room inside for passengers. I bought a used 2009 LX with about 30,000 miles on it. Affordability was more important to me than all the bells and whistles of the EX or EX-L. I plan on putting at least another 200,000 miles on it. Been driving it for about 4 months and I love my CRV.

Great SUV

I love my new crv for a compact suv it's very roomy and comfortable (I,m 6'2"). The one thing I had to have was a clear view of the road something the other small suv did not have. What do I mean ? most small cars/suv due to the position of the rear view mirror it blocked my sight.

Honda,Of course!

Great ride. Incredible value. Primary vehicle is a Pilot. This is a secondary vehicle, which could easily replace the primary in a pinch.

Family car

Good: Great family car; well designed interior with lots of storage room; my wife sits between our twins' car seats in the back seat, which allows grandma to ride with us (a big convenience); exceptionally reliable; acceptable mileage (consistent 21 mpg on average). Bad: weak engine; high level of noise; 21 mpg is so-so for such a weak engine. Bottom line: it is a sensible shoe, no more - no less; easy to live with, but would probably not buy this car again.

CRV_Lover

Small and reliable SUV. If you are looking for an SUV with lots of power, this is not the one. Other than that, it is nice car.
