Steady

I loved this car at first until i drove it for a while. The car has a lot of features. Its very reliable and rugged. The power is dismal. From a lught this car wont get out of its own way, whether from the CVT trans, or lack of a Turbo. The trans feels like its slipping all the time, gas mileage is far below published numbers and frankly the car has quick steering, but will catch every imperfection in the highway and send you crreening all over the road. Very quick steering so when your wife corrects lane drift , it finds you reaching for grab handles with a high pitched girlish shriek. Very crosswind sensitive, semis passing reminiscent of the tornado that hit my house year. Poor design of the kick panels. Marginally large feet and you contort like circus acrobat trying to feet to clear the speaker enclosure. Non responive and weak ac, road noise like a feright train and confusing electronics displays. The doors close with that sound of a well made car, but that falls away quickly with uncomfortable seats and the trademark stiff Honda ride. Yep, this car was made for a much smaller individual. Definitely not a corn fed Midwestern adult. Its solid and reliable and that id what they are famous for. All the refinements do you no good if you are walking down the road away from a breakdown. And thats why i bought it. Reliability.

My third honda. I have enjoyed all of them. The

This car meets all of my needs. It is convenient. It has plenty of leg room, plenty of space. Good gas mileage, low maintenance. I would recommend it to family and friends.

Perfect car if you are downsizing from a van.

This car meets all my needs. I was downsizing from a Honda Odyssey and the CRV is the perfect choice for me. I didn't need the 3rd row seating and the trunk area is sufficient for all of my shopping needs.

I feel so elegant!!

This is a used car, and a little bit older than what I originally wanted to buy; however, it is in extremely good condition and had very low mileage. It is gorgeous! I feel so elegant driving this car! I love it!

Pre-owned, high mileage but seems very reliable

This is my second Honda CRV EXL. The first one was exceptionally reliable. I loved the car and was sad when I wrecked it. This current pre-owned one is a little high mileage, but drives very well and is very comfortable. I expect it to be equally reliable. Seems to be a fine ride.

2016 Honda CR-V

I needed a second car to leave at a summer home and found a perfect vehicle for that. I knew Honda’s value (previously owned a Honda Odyssey minivan) so the CR-V was a great choice.
