I have driven this car for 3 1/2 years with no issues with breakdowns (good reliability) or rattling of components inside the car. This car had everything I was looking for in this SUV class for the amount of money paid. There is ample storage area in the cargo area. I routinely carry an extra large cooler for storing groceries. When traveling long distances, the seats are comfortable and do not get overheated in the some months, because they are cloth seats that are easy to clean.

First, I would like to talk about all of the things I like about this vehicle and then the few things that could be better. I Like the Honda products very much, as we have had a great deal of reliability over the years from these cars. The overall styling of the CR-V is nice, and the cargo area for a small SUV is great. The handling of the vehicle is very nice, and the interior roominess is quite comfortable. I cannot complain about the overall gas mileage, as I currently get about 25 in the city and 32 on the highway. I have the 2wd model, which is fine for our use but sometimes feels a bit unstable in the rain. I would also like to comment on the acceleration with the 2.4 engine. Going up hills can be a struggle sometimes as the vehicle want to downshift to maintain speed causing the engine to rev a bit more than I would expect. Overall, this is a great vehicle.
