Very good car for price

Very comfortable and reliable. No maintenance cost. I wish, it had more pickup. Good balancing. I drove many cars. I can rate CRV as one of the very good cards. I am currently using 2012 EX front wheel drive.

Worth the wait

It is one of a kind! My husband uses this car and he stated that this car is so amazing. It's spacious inside and with a lot of features. What we love most is the sunroof. Perfect to use here in Florida

Love it!

I love this car. It's huge inside while it's not one of the biggest SUV's. I've never had a problem with it, it's very reliable.

The CR-V is an AWESOME Car

I purchased my 2012 Honda CR-V in March of 2016. I was not sure about owning a Honda cause all I owned in the past was a Ford Escape & Explore. This car blew me away as far as gas mileage and handling on the road. When I am ready to trade it in I will be looking at another Honda CR-V for sure.

Senior couple gave this car lots of love

One owner, very well taken care of, always garaged,new brake pads within 1 year new front rotors 1 month ago, new Gold battery from Advance auto one week ago. Always cleaned, waxed and driven non abusively by a senior couple. Tires within 1 1/2 year old in great shape. We are selling the car because we bought a new 2017 crv and only need one car. Oil always changed at 15%. 125500 long distance milage mostly.

I love my Honda CR-V. It's a great car, rides great and gets great gas mileage. Hondas ride forever so you can't go work with a Honda!

A nice, stylish, get-around-town SUV

We traded up from a used 2007 Honda Fit Sport to a 2used 012 Honda CRV EX after trying out a few different non-Honda options for SUV's. The standout features of the CRV to me are: great visibility, backup camera, subdued interior without a lot of flash, but nice materials, almost as many little pockets and storage doodads as a minivan, and little niceties like lighted mirrors on both the driver's and passenger's side, a sunroof that tilts open and opens completely for a bit of fresh air on the road, both front and back window defrosters, good phone connectivity even without bluetooth, and a decent sound system. There is also ample storage -- as much in the very back of the CRV as there was in the Fit with both back seats folded down, so we can go on a trip with our kid, our luggage, snacks, water, etc. and not feel too crowded. One huge step up for us in particular is the increase in space between the driver and passenger from the Fit. We were constantly running over each other because the Fit was a 5-speed and there wasn't enough elbow room for both the driver and the passenger. There's a roomy minivan-style center console between the driver and passenger in the CRV, which cleverly stows away the various phone connectors and power ports, making for a sleek dashboard.

Great Car

The CR-V is a great car for zipping around town and getting out on the highway. It maneuvers well in tight spaces and the backup camera is helpful in getting out of tight spots. It is kind of funny watching people get nervous when you are backing up towards them. You know you won't hit them, but they freak out and move out of your way more. Plus! The only negative I have with the car is the road noise. Cruising down the highway at 80 mph you do need to talk a little louder with people in the back seat.
