  • Not so low maintenance after all... - 2008 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Things starting falling apart as the warranty expired, as usual. The rack and pinion were the first to go at 62k miles. After that costly repair, then the A/C clutch, which seems to be a common problem. Now, at 84k, theres another issue with the power steering fluid leaking and the rack and pinion is to blame again! I thought Id be getting long-lasting quality as advertised but Im left sorely disappointed. Especially, after overlooking petty things like road noise, uncomfortable seats, and cheap materials. I feel like Ive been duped by a brand that preached longevity and quality, but never delivered. I couldve gotten a new, loaded Hyundai for the same price and a better warranty

  • Dont buy a CRV - 2008 Honda CR-V

    The good reviews were written when the car was new. Honda CRVs developed all kinds of problems with drive train vibrations. Buyers beware! The fix is expensive. The road noise is so loud you cant hear the radio at high speeds. Save your money Honda quality is not what it used to be.
