Love my "new" car!

I love it! I have always wanted a SUV. Very happy with my purchase. I will never go back to driving a regular car again.

Just bought it and really love it,

This is the perfect car for us. I am handicapped and the car is very easy to get in and out of. It has classic good looks and drives very easily. This is our first Honda and it really is a great car!

It,s a great for the price, reliable.

It,s great. The air conditioning is not that good. It,s very slow in cooling. It does not get cold enough. I wish the seat can be retract electronically

Nice car for getting around town

This car is nice to drive and comfortable (I'm 6ft 200lbs), my only complaint would be that it lacks acceleration compared to my other car. My daughter has loved having the DVD player in the back seat, it is great for road trips. It has wireless headphones which is a bonus if you like to listen to the radio while you drive and kids can still watch movies.

So happy with my purchase!

The CRV drives so smoothly. The interior and exterior are in great condition as well. Very spacious and a lot of cargo room. The back seats fits two car seats and one booster seat as well.

Best car I have owned in 50 years.

This car fits all my needs and I hope to keep it for many more years. I am now 70 years old and do not want anymore electronics as on the newer cars.

car has been dependable since we purchased

We have driven this car for 100,000 dependable miles we no problems. Great milage. Doing 15,000 oil and transmission miles before changing both Mobil 1 extended 0w20 and Honda trans fluid.

Great used car purchase

This car is fully loaded, has low miles for being a 2012, and is great to drive. It gets really good mileage on the highway, and my kids like it even though they didn't want me to part with our Honda minivan. My goal is to turn this over to my son when he starts driving in 3 years, and with Honda's reliability, I believe he will get many good years out of it. I feel like I got a very good deal on this car and had a no hassle experience with the dealership.

Honda Meets Expectations

The vehicle meets the comfort, space, and efficiency needs that we purchased it for. If it lives up to its reliability reputation, an excellent value in used vehicles.

safest, most reliable car I've owned in years

This car is so useful in so many ways, for commuting, transporting larger items, feel safer in a heavier car like this one on the freeways, etc.
