  First Time Honda Owner - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By nogaqrpham - November 11 - 7:03 am

  This is a relatively new car, as I have had it for only 3 weeks. I bought it based on the Honda name and the features. So far, the car has exceeded my expectations. I have always driven larger and heavier cars and was concerned about the comfort and ride. So far, I am very pleased with the ride and the comfort is excellent. The biggest surprise is the excellent acceleration, even in fast traffic. The 5 speed automatic works great! All of my previous cars have been mini- vans, and I also was worried about the smaller cargo area. While I have not needed to haul any 4 by 8 plywood sheets yet, I have plenty of room for most of my needs. The value is great!

  Best SUV of the Year - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Dave - October 24 - 6:38 pm

  The Honda CR-V of 2005 beat out all the other SUVs in 2005 for quality & traction control (yes, even the Jeep Wrangler!). This is a fine tuned, well manufactured automobile! Ive owned this car since college. Over the years, Ive watched my friends spend $1000s in out of pocket costs for parts and labor to keep up their cars. Over the past 2 years (130,000-160,000) Ive spent about $3000 in repairs (mostly due to the fact that Ive kicked the crap out of the suspension on Colorados rocky roads). Since Ive left, I havent done anything but the regular servicing. This car will take the abuse and just keep on rolling on!

  Very happy with Honda - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Jason - August 20 - 3:49 pm

  I own a 2005 Honda CR-V SE and brought it on Nov of 2004 and its been a great car since the first day I brought it. Its been to seven different states and its has given me no problems on the road trip. It has 61,500 miles on it now. I also am very happy with the gas mileage, the best gas mileage I ever gotten on the highway was 37 and close to 40 mpg a few times with the AC off going about 60 mph. With the AC on I get about 32 to 34 mpg on the highway. The worst gas mileage I ever gotten was 21 mpg in town but that only happens a few times. Its very easy for me to change my own oil and trans services and i used the best oil like amsoil for improved gas mileages.

  Excellent - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Cheryl - August 17 - 8:33 am

  This just might be the first automobile I can honestly say, "I Love." It handles superbly in bad weather. For a small SUV, it is amazingly comfortable. I highly recommend this truck.

  Best vehicle ever own - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Dan - August 14 - 2:16 pm

  I bought my CR-V SE back in Nov of 2004 and still own the car today with 61,500 miles. So far I have been very please with my CR-V because there have been no problems. I change my oil every 5000 to 7500 miles with Amsoil motor oil. I services the transmission myself every 15,000 miles. Its easy because it has a drain plug just like changing the oil. I highly recommended any type of Honda vehicle to anyone because my has been so reliable, my mother and brother both own a Honda. All three of our cars get great gas mileage better than what the window stickers says. I am thinking of getting a new Honda CR-V Turbo Diesel when its comes in late 2009 as a 2010 year model because of the better MPG.

  Saved My Life - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By JD - August 4 - 5:34 pm

  Had a hard side-impact collision (T- boned by a pickup truck) on 7/30/08. Car was totaled I was not injured. Thats good enough for me. Im buying another CR-V. I bought it for the safety and Ill buy another one for the same reason.

  Excellent car! - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Stretch - July 26 - 9:43 am

  This has been a great car for me and my husband and two golden retrievers. Love that we got an interior with leather, the dog hair would have been awful on cloth. Its pretty comfy to drive in, although my husband (511") complains about the way it feels for him to drive it, his knees bump into the console.

  What a great car...really. - 2005 Honda CR-V
  By Whitney - July 23 - 2:30 am

  I have had my CR-V for almost 3 years now and it never seems to grow old on me. For an SUV (albeit a smaller one) it has great pickup, is comfortable for all who ride in it, and is very user friendly. It takes 5 seconds to turn the backseat down and create cargo space. As someone who has moved 3 times in 3 years to places 700 miles from each other, the CR-V has been a lifesaver, not just for my moves, but on a day to day basis.
