I really like most aspects of the CRV. It has nice leather interior that is still in excellent condition although the vehicle is eight years old and has 126,000 miles. The performance of the engine is very adequate to do all the things I need it to do. The gas mileage is better than I expected at about 25 in town and 28-30 on the highway. The seats fold down to make a lot of useful cargo space for hauling articles. I do hear a small rattle when I hit speed bumps, but I think that is my tire tool making the noise. The best thing about the CRV is the low maintenance and repair. All I have needed to do is change the front brake pads and tires and perform normal oil changes. One of the features that I really like is that I have a trailer hitch that I use to haul two bikes.

The Honda CR-V is a very reliable vehicle. I read the consumer report about the vehicle, and it was rated very good on most everything. The vehicle gets reasonably good gas mileage (between 22 an 28 miles per gallon). The air conditioner cools the car very well and has never been a problem. I have 141,560 miles on it and have never had to repair the vehicle. There is a rattle under the car that has always been there but has never been a significant problem (just a nuisance). I am not happy with the quality of the leather seats because they seem to be peeling and cracking for no apparent reason. Even though the car has a lot of miles, it has always been garaged and exposed to the sun only while being driven, so I don't think the seats should be in such condition. I use the vehicle to travel on a 700-mile trip at least once a month, and it has always been reliable. I carry a lot of items on these trips, and the interior room is ample for most everything I need to haul. The rear seats fold to allow for several different configurations that makes it convenient when hauling different loads. The motor is a small four cylinder but has ample power for everything I need to use it for. The vehicle handles very well and feels relatively safe at highway speeds or in town.
