  • car great for my purposes - 2012 Honda CR-V
    By -

    rear differential fluid needs to be changed much more than manual says accord to dealers . Had this vehicle and a 2004 one and had a problem with that one. The 2004 got me thru 24 " snow blizzard about 50 miles did it in a little over 11/4 hrs. blinded and just about no one on road. That had gr. clearence of 8" or more I believe this one ha s less. Always bought american now will never go back although some amer. has improved. wife is handicapped and get into other vehicle s too high to law cheap interiors or you name it . the short of it great car reliable will go thru anything I put it thru without a problem. hadnt severe snow but a few times. went over a few miles op iced up roadwys full of holes thoght ws never going to get out of it without breaking car came out unscathed.

    First off it doesnt need a 6cyl engine, its a small to midsized SUV for crying out loud not a Bugatti Veyron, it does just fine with a 4cyl . The Einsteins crying for a need for speed are the same geniuses that drive down the road yapping on their cell in one hand eating with the other and steering with their knees all the while compensating for a lack of a 3rd leg( just my own opinion) ! My 2012 CRV EX-L bought with 59,650 miles with myself driving averages 26 city / 34 highway. Not crazy about the hard plastic in the interior but not a big deal. Absolutely love the heated seats, the generous cargo space, the car like ride and handling, the gas mileage, beautiful leather seats. If I had to pick a con and its very hard to find one, it would be that the rubber seals around the door frame on the shell of the CRV sag and dont hold in place. This CRV is my most favorite yet!

    This car is reliable and handles the road well. My version has heated seats and electric drives seat as well as factory tint and electric sun roolf. The seats are leather and easy to maintain. I inititally intended to buy a brand-new Honda and select all my extras, but I bought instead a two-year old certified used because I SO appreciated the color; further, it had all of the add-ons I wanted. Its just a great HONDA. Love it love it love it.

    After driving Accords both sedan and coupe for over 20 years, I bought my first CR-V. I am so happy with this vehicle for its overall performance and technology perks. I have the Economy version front wheel drive, which is perfect for a semi-retired educator. It is roomy and comfortable with more cargo room when the back seats are laid down. Ive had on a road trip and short trips. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    I got what I paid for with my CRV, safe/reliable/efficient transportation, with great resale value. Its my third Honda, but after driving the new Mazda CX-5 recently Im tempted to defect to Mazda.....

  • We Still Love Our CR-V even after 75,000 miles - 2012 Honda CR-V
    By -

    My wife and I still love our Honda CR-V even after 79,490 miles. Safety, reliability, comfort, and style are all features we enjoy with this car not to mention the great visibility this car has. We leased this car new in 2012 and then purchased the car in 2015 which helped avoid $4000 in over mileage fees. Considering we are also a Subaru family (both of our children drive Subarus) , we recently looked into trading in our CR-V for a 2016 Outback. After test driving the Outback, we decided to keep our 2012 CR-V and plan on keeping it well beyond the 100,000 mile mark. Surprisingly......we are still on our original brakes with nearly 40% left on the brake pads which is a good indicator of how many highway miles this car has been driven". Our car has all suggested maintenance as indicated on the Maintenance Minder done at our local Honda garage. WE ARE VERY HAPPY to have the current CONVENTIONAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION rather than the newer CVT transmission on some of the newer Honda CR-V models. Both the Subaru Outback and the Honda CR-V has had issues with CVT transmissions..... with the Outback having a delay of the transmission when placed in reverse. While I believe CVT is or will be great technology in both the Honda CR-V and the Subaru Outback.....I prefer to wait until all the bugs" are worked out before I invest in a new car. For now, my wife and I will be enjoying our comfortable, reliable, safe 2012 Honda CR-V as many others have experienced. High mileage does not concern me on this Honda as it would on many other vehicles....
