Reliable vehicle every day. Maintenance costs have been as per schedule and I have never had to do a service outside of when the vehicle indicates its time for service at that mileage. Love th back up mirror; this is the first vehicle Ive purchased that has one and now I couldn't live without it

Love the quality, the ride, the comfort. Ecoboost gives an environmentally friendly option to it. Was purchased second hand from a Honda dealer.
The only downfall I have come across, is the lack of passenger side arm rest

A great Option
All I have o say, it's a Honda. It's a very reliable car, maintenance free, excellent on gas, actual design, great response and handling, specially if you turn off the econo button. The interior and equipment are ok but when iphones are on bluetooth and you try to connect simultaneously with the power cable, sometimes it freezes...not sure if honda fixed it. A paddle shift would be a great improvement and Honda should not make face lifts to frequently.

2012 Honda CR-V
Trim: EX-L

The Best Car I've Owned!
I've now been driving my 2012 black CRV EXL for
6 months/10,000km. Purchased used with only 20,000km. I shopped around a LOT, and the CRV checked all of the boxes on my list - good fuel economy, lots of space inside, sunroof, satellite radio, USB, compact size, rear wiper, heated leather seats...the list goes on. It's lots of fun to drive. I've never wished for more engine power. I average 26mpg mixed city/highway and over 33 on the freeway, which is fantastic for an SUV with all wheel drive. It's much quieter on the highway than previous generation CRV's, and it still handles well at speeds in excess of 130 km/h. The interior is virtually perfect from an ergonomic standpoint. All the materials are very high quality and well assembled. I'm a big fan of the leather that Honda uses. The rear folding seat mechanism is very convenient.
Gripes (FYI, they're minor and hard to find!):
~ I wish there were grab handles on BOTH ends of the tailgate to close it.
~ There really should have been lights in the glovebox and massive centre console.
~ There isn't a way to customize the info screens to display a mixture of metric and imperial units, it's either one or the other (I read distance in km, but temperature in F).
I could go on and on all day about how much I love this car!
Over the years I've owned various German/Scandinavian cars, as well as American. This is my first Japanese car, but so far it's the best one I've owned! It's caused me absolutely no trouble, which all of my previous cars did in the first few months of ownership. The quality and reliability of my CRV makes me want to buy it all over again!

It is a good car, that is fuel effiecient and is a smooth ride
I have had this car for 10 months and had no problems whatsoever with it. It runs smoothly and is not a gas guzzler. It worked like a charm on long drives and got the job done. The interior design was good, although it is not too high tech. For its main purpose of transportation, it worked incredibly well.

Amazing family car!
Well, my family bought this car as new go-to family car. We had traded in our van, and bought this CRV instead. And boy it has been really great, the entire family likes driving it, and with the new ECO button on the side you get the same ride, but save feul which is better in the long run! In the back there is loads of room for the kids. an extra bonus is that the trunk space is huge and gorgeous and can also fit all your kids stuff without stuffing!

I love my CRV
I love my CRV. I am so glad that I got a Touring, not a lower trim. She is the best car I ever have. She is so comfortable, love the leather heated seat. I got lots of places to put my stuff around me while driving. Got a cup holder and a bottle holder at the door. It is very good on ice, I manage not to get into the ditch on slippy road. She is a perfect car for me. Everything is shown on the dash board, I don't have to worry about tire presure etc. Highly recommended!

Best Ride
The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs.The CR-V’s exterior has only lightly evolved; front and rear styling has been spruced up a bit, with the front end noticeably more Accord-like. Honda has essentially taken the same package—same wheelbase, same basic silhouette and proportions—but dropped the roof a little bit and modified the positions of the front seats for a more carlike driving position. Also by changing the angle of the rear pillar somewhat, they freed up just a little more rearward visibility.
Inside, the instrument panel gets a simplified, streamlined look with two layers, and it's more carlike, completely avoiding the chunky, overwrought-and-cluttered look of the larger Pilot SUV’s interior, as well as the odd asymmetries of the Civic and the confusing rotary knob of the high-end Accord models. Climate controls are just below audio controls, with a small, five-inch ‘i-MID’ trip-computer and audio screen just above it all, with simple gauges and straightforward switchgear. The center console runs between the front seats and has been redesigned to include cupholders, a tray, two storage compartments, and a USB port.

Great car!
Truly a really great car in some ways but in other ways I suppose it is less than perfect but I think it is still worth a purchase. The fuel economy is very good. I like the fuel economy a lot. I barely ever have to refill it. The comfort is pretty good mostly. I think that the best part about the comfort is the heated seats. Buy this car!

comfort
The CR-V has a slightly firmer ride than most 4x4s on the market, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. Although there's very little in the way of wind and engine noise on the move, owners will notice some roar from the tyres when travelling at motorway speeds. A panoramic glass roof is available as an optional extra – if you specify this, it lets loads of light into the cabin and makes it a pleasant place to be.

It's not too bad
It's a very decent car, drives smoother than other large cars. However the brakes often do not work well and i find myself having to push hard on the pedal. The seats are not the most comfortable and the engine is often making noises. Overall good car, however i will look to other options for my next purchase.

good all-around CUV
- very comfortable and supportive seats
- excellent build quality and reliability (no issues during its stay with us)
- fuel economy about average for the CUV class; better than most
- interior doesn't excite nor does it offend; however, it has a good layout and ergonomices are fine -- likely will gain better praise from typical CR-V buyers
- exterior styling has odd proportions from certain angles; however, the shape doesn't crimp on practicality and cargo space
A CUV you just can't go wrong with -- especially with Honda's legendary reliability. If you want something sportier, take a look at the Hyundai Tucson or Mazda CX-5.

Wife and I are really impressed with our experience in our new Honda CRV car. It feels safe and comfortable to drive. I don't need to worry about not answering phone while driving as it comes up with standard Bluetooth phone connection features. I enjoy listening to my huge collection of music stored in a usb stick plugged into its entertainment radio that has a standard USB port. Most of all it has a very good fuel economy.
