The vehicle, given its year, functions well and has had no mechanical problems so far. There is no rust on the car, which speaks to its quality. However, the interior is very basic and there are things to be desired in regards to the design of the interior. As with many 2008 cars, it has a typical radio/CD player. However, the design is not very modern and there is no display of the mpg - there is simply a bar that fluctuates as you drive but you do not know the average mpg. Also, the side mirrors do not provide a great overlook, compared to some of the other cars that I have driven in the past.

I've owned Hondas for years, and they have never let me down. I bought my latest Honda, a 2003 CR-V, used in 2005. It now has almost 200k miles on it, and will probably go for 100k more. The only problem I've ever had with the car was something about the brakes needing to be re-calibrated, and that was after a 2700 mile road trip. The gas mileage is pretty good, about 28 MPG. It's a hearty, car, too. It's taken more than a few hits and hasn't been damaged greatly. I lived in Chicago for several years, where the car was stored in a freezing cold garage but I never once had trouble starting it up on mornings below zero degrees. The ride is smooth. I've always taken pretty good care of the car, too, with regular oil changes and checkups, which have added to its life. I don't plan on trading in or selling this car anytime soon, I think it will last me a long time and take care of me as I start a family with my husband. It's equipped with airbags and all of the safety features a car of this size should have. It also has always handled very well in the slick snow and icy roads of Chicago.
