We're looking to sell our car and van and move to one compact SUV and the Honda CR-V has caught our attention with its ratings. Wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with them.
DON'T buy the Real-Time 4 WD, it is a phony 4X4.

Don't expect to get over 23 MPG.

It has lots of road noise.

The standard audio is awful.

It costs too much.

Had to have a valve job at 60K. Who ever heard of needing a valve job nowadays, with unleaded fuel?

Now let me tell you how I really feel about the CRV. hahahah

I'd never buy another one.

Re: Honda Owners?

The biggest thing to remember about owning a Honda is that you MUST change the timing belt at the scheduled time (usually 90,000-110,000). On a Honda if the timing chain breaks the engine is history unlike Toyota and many other manufactuers where this is not the case.

We never made it far enough for a new timing belt. Sorriest car we ever owned.

Re: Honda Owners?

I forgot to mention that my Honda does seem to have a lot of wind noise. Especially around the windshield.








Oops....wait....it's a motorcycle so I guess they all have that.

Re: Honda Owners?

I appreciate everyone responding. I know we likely won't be buying a North American made car... we have a long history with those.
