What a ride! Smooth. Reliable. Well-built. Handled well for a proletariat's sedan. Oh, that V6 had plenty of power. Highly recommended, especially if you can find a low-mileage vehicle.

I owned my 2008 CR-V EX for 6 years. As I was a low-mileage driver and owned it between 50,000 Kms to 105,000 Kms on the odometer reading, I routinely changed oil and brought it to my Honda Dealership for service. The only unexpected repair was to the air conditioner compressor once the warranty went out, so, it was replaced at approx. 90,000 Kms at the age of 9 years (2015). Reliable, fair on fuel consumption, agile for an SUV. It never squeaked, leaked nor rattled. I wish all vehicles were built like this! Beware recall on airbags and rust defect above rear license area just above the rear hatch Honda logo (my kid says it's the "moustache area) - this area was a design flaw that a bodyshop should be able to eradicate from re-occurring if done properly.
