I love this vehicle. I don't drive it on a daily basis; it is my wife who drives around with it. It is our only SUV, so we use it for all types of transporting of big and heavy things. It is very, very reliable. The vehicle doesn't ask for anything but gas, and of course, maintenance when the mileage requires it. I've carried all sorts of things on this SUV, and it feels solid. We have also gone on a couple of road trips, and it has preformed very nicely. When we return home, it was ready to take the kids to school on the next day.

I've owned my CR-V for ten years and 120,000 miles. Her small stature and unimposing features hide a voracious engine (the V-Tech 2.4L). It has a firm grip when the four-wheel drive engages (always with perfect timing and immediate response). I have driven her daily and had a smooth ride to work each time. The height is perfect to see over other cars but not so big as to take up the whole lane. I do think it could be a little bigger. Compact is one thing, but this car may have been built with smallish people in mind. I loved the motor, suspension, and four-wheel drive. I wasn't too happy about the interior lack of space and the thin carpeting on the seats and doors. Lastly the Bose stereo with the six-disc CD changer is a little old but still rocks out when I hear a good song. Overall, this car is a trooper, and I love her. She has required very little care and even the paint still holds up. I hope to see the 200K mile mark soon. I know the Honda brand is good for it.
