Faults:

The motor mount needs replacing.

Need new front struts.

Have already replaced the spark plugs and tuned it up.

Rear door latch broke.

Changed all fluids in the engine, transmission and all wheel drive system.

General Comments:

It ran great. Fot it at 200,000 miles for 2,000 dollars from a Chevrolet dealership.

Great gas mileage, and I had K & N air filter in and tornado gas saver, and get about 34 mpg.

Handles very well, and my wife is short at 5 feet 3 inches tall, and she can see everything, and very comfortable.

Also handles great in heavy snow and icy roads.

It really wonderful vehicle.

Faults:

The emergency brake light comes on when the car is cold, but will go off when I hit a bump in the road or after driving for a while (usually by the time I get to work). This only happens in the winter and hasn't caused any problems.

The spark plug for the dashboard lights keeps blowing out.

General Comments:

This car had been great since the day I bought it. I haven't had any major problems and, from what I hear from other CR-V owners, it will continue to be a very reliable car.

It gets great mileage compared to other SUVs, and is spacious enough to haul just about anything. It's a great road-tripping car.

It's got impressive pickup for a 4-cylinder.

I love my CR-V and plan on driving it until the day it gives out on me, which will be a very long time.

A few stories about what a beast my CR-V is:

It was 3am on some back roads in Maryland when I hit a deer head-on going at least 60mph in my CR-V. I checked the car -- not even a scratch!...though I can't say the same for the deer. This car is truly an undercover beast!

A car rammed into my CR-V from behind at a stop light. The car that hit me had a huge dent on its hood from my rear-mounted spare tire -- again, the CR-V didn't even have a scratch.

I once thought my CR-V had a transmission problem, so I took it into a mechanic who looked confused and told me that "Hondas don't have transmission problems." He looked it over and drove it around -- everything was fine. I was just paranoid.

Faults:

Radiator had to be replaced.

Honda white paint isn't the shiniest.

Original Tires are not very safe.

General Comments:

This CR-V is awesome for around town transportation.

Reliable, comfortable and inexpensive small family vehicle.

Ride is noisy and not well suited for long distance driving.

The resale on this vehicle is excellent compared to most SUVs in same class.

Faults:

The cable for the passenger side interior door latch has broken twice.

The engine threw a valve at 65000 miles and ran on 3 cylinders for a while.

The power windows have little raising power left.

The check engine light often comes on in cold weather.

General Comments:

This car has less fit and finish quality than other Honda's I have owned. The engine is loud and buzzy and could probably use a top gear with lower RPM. What I like about the CRV is it has great foward visibility. The CRV handles well in snow and icy conditions. For a SUV, the CRV gets reasonable gas mileage, we average about 25mpg, and it is spacious enough to haul a good deal of cargo.
