My car is 20 months old with 10k miles on the clock. It is a nice car. It is a great shame that Honda's reputation for great build quality is missing from my UK built car. There are persistent squeaks from the rear passenger quarter and front passenger seat. The car has been into the dealer many times for fault finding/fixing. It is OK for a few days then the squeaks return. The car also has a problem steaming up and freezing on the inside and first gear is difficult to select at times. Look on the bright side, the 4WD worked faultlessly in the recent snow ... but it was kept in a garage to avoid internal freezing.

High consumption of oil was normal when garage originally told. However, it emerged that there was a partial recall, but no effort by manufacturer to contact me. Eventually told due to manufacturing fault now cylinder head was needed.
Car is otherwise good, gives confidence in poor weather. Gap between front seats (in older versions of CR-V) not carried over, which wife found a particular good feature.
Top hinging rear door has some advantages, but the side opening of the older versions' rear door was also liked.

The CRV is a great multi-use vehicle, it's load capacity is great, at one time I carried 4 Flags + 2 bags Cement +4 Bags sand, and it carried then no problem, and it's very good for getting in and out of and being disabled that counts for a lot, It has never broke down engine wise, I've had the odd puncture, Had this car for nearly 6 years, just one problem, The Sat-nav packed up, I've been told it's a common fault but I really don't know.
On the whole it's a very good vehicle, and reliable.

I had owned Honda Civics prior to the CR-V and they were very good. Then we wanted more space and looked at a few other vehicles, RAV4, LandRover, Nissan, M-B and so on. What decided us was our previous time with Honda and word of mouth. Although the RAV4 was a close second. The odds of us buying any other make than Honda is doubtful and now the other choice would be a Lexus RX Hybrid. For us Honda rules.

Love it. I need a towing vehicle that can go in fields with a horsebox and one that can carry heavy loads (boxes of print). After the Suzuki Vitara I had before, it's wonderful. And for a 4x4, 177gm CO2 emissions means I'm not taxed into oblivion for owning it. If I didn't have to tow or carry heavy loads, I'd get a saloon or estate, but given the decision to go 4x4, I have no envy of other makes.

Build quality is good but interior materials are "practical" and could be better quality. Doesn't feel as good as I thought a Honda would. Main dealer very nice but not too careful. New windscreen fitted under warranty and came back with dented front wing. Side window rubber replaced came back with scratches to door. Not a positive start with my first Honda. Didn't get any trouble with Peugeot.

My CR-V gives me everything that I want from it. It is exceptionally reliable, has excellent handling and good economy for my type of driving. The local Honda dealership also offers first class customer service. I can't fault either the car or the dealership.

Overall a good car, new shape at purchase and the only problem was with the laquer and finish of the alloy wheels, having said that all four wheels were replaced under warranty. So I find the Honda CRV a practical reliable family car.

This is probably my best car to date. It was going to be the CRV or the Superb. I have had Mondeo, Primera, Vectra & Passat in the past but don't know if I'll ever go back to a saloon now.
