Enjoyed replacing an older model trade-in.

This car met my needs. Hope it preforms as well as another we already owned! Enjoyed the efficiency of making this purchase. Should the need arise, will consider another purchase at this dealership.

One of my favorite cars

The CR-V is a fan favorite in my family. My mom owned multiple in my childhood and I owned one before but this was my first purchase and quite amazing! For the year 2012 in 2020 it really is like driving a new car!

Dependable

This 2012 Honda CRV is the 2nd CRV we have owned. Bought a new 2000 and then a used 2012 CRV that had just came off a 3 year lease. It was like in new condition with 28000 miles. It now has 85000 miles and I swear it still drives like new. Very low costs to maintain. LOVE IT!

Most reliable car I ever owned

I bot it brand new and now over 100000 mi. No issues whatsoever. Changed set of tires. Rotors and brake pads. Few light bulbs. Only regular maintenance. Few weeks ago changed third brake light. Top one and it’s LED. But one of regular brake bulbs still original, 7 years. Isn’t supposed to LED last longer? This car was most fuel efficient and most space at that time.

We've absolutely LOVED having this car!

We have owned this car for over 7 years and it has met, nay, exceeded every expectation and every test we threw at it. Great gas mileage? Check! Comfortable? Check! Good for long distance driving? Check! Fits an 85lb dog? Check! Fits two kids? Check! Fits 2 kids, 2 adults, one 85lb dog, AND the luggage of ALL those people and is comfortable enough for a 6 hour drive? CHECK! The back storage is enormous. I can't even tell you how many times the husband said, "That's not going to fit" and TADA! It ALL fit! Basically, this car is amazing. If you're considering it, go for it. You won't regret it.

Dependable, AWD with great MPG

Love the exterior, bought some add on accessories as they all look the same. Hate the passenger front seat, it’s too short from front to back, knees just hang and I am not tall. Liked the adjustable back seats in the pre 12 models. Rear seats are now fixed. Over all loving our 2nd CRV EXL
