Honda Motors

My wife and I are looking at new vehicles and the make/model she has taken a liking to are the new Honda CRVs. Anyone have any experience with Honda autos? Is the quality and reliability on par with Honda Powersports and their 2-wheelers? I/We have never owned anything besides "American" vehicles, Chevy/Ford/Jeep. Thanks for any input!

We have a Honda Pilot . Very reliable. 145 k and still drives like new. Put new timing belt and water pump on as preventative measure around 105k. The belt still looked new though. Other than that,just routine maintenance.

We have A 2002 Accord V6, 2008 Civic, 2012 Civic, Honda lawnmower and snowblower. The Accord is mine and has been the best cage I have ever owned. If I was shopping for a new vehicle I would be looking at Honda first.

My work car is a 2003 crv about 115k miles and running strong, my wife's old Civic 2000 180k miles is being driven by my niece.

Hi have the new 2014 Honda Crosstour V6 Allwheel Drive. Very nice vehicle, very good mileage. Plenty of room inside as I carry 2 Goldens with me a lot.

I switched to Honda exclusively about 10 years a go and haven't looked back.
Had the Honda Fit loved that thing, had 2 CRV's, had 4 Civics, had the Odysee van... fantastic, still have a 2013 Civic, just lost our 2013 CRV in a total collision over a week ago, saved the wife from major injury. The side bags and crumple zones were amazing. If they only made pickup trucks :icon_mrgreen: , the pickup they have isnt much of a pickup, more of a chopped off family van. :shrug: One of our Civics had 260k miles on it and ran fine still.

Riding the F6B to and from work is ok, but.... man, that rain is a monster here in Florida. The wife and I do not want to get back into car payments for another 2nd unneeded new car, so I am looking for an older small pickup truck.

I service several CRV's and they seem to be good reliable vehicles. Have you looked at Ford Escape? My favorite of the small SUV's.

Honda makes a great product. I have it on good authority that the CRV and other larger Honda vehicles like the Pilot, Tacoma, etc...are fuel thirsty vehicles, but they are reliable. I've had 3 Honda's [excluding my bikes and generators] that lived long, reliable lives.

You can't go wrong with honda cars or suv's. Especially if you plan on keeping it for a while. Resale value is also great

"Tacoma" is a Toyota pick up.

If I need something with an engine in it and Honda makes one, that's what I buy. We have an Acura, a Honda tiller, a Honda lawn mower, and two Honda motorcycles. The only reason we have a toyota pickup is because, as previously stated, Honda doesn't make a real one. Why do I also have a Harley-Davidson motorcycle? Because I like to play pirate, too.

Thanks everyone for your comments! Kind of what I expected but wanted first-hand experience input.

Shooter, I used to work for Enterprise-Rent-a-Car and got to drive lots of makes/models. In my opinion the 2012 and earlier Escapes were not good. They were greatly improved in 2013 though. Of the Ford SUV's I LOVED the Edge. Great vehicle IMHO.

We've got a Honda Ridgeline, Honda Civic, and 2 Honda tillers. All of these have been exceptionally reliable. My wife's Civic has 72+ thousand miles and has had no issues--period. Even has the original brake pads.
I just gought the F6B and expect it to be every bit as reliable as the rest.
The tillers are bears to ride, tho. I keep falling off!

My youngest has an '02 Accord, with over 220,000 miles on it.
Runs like an electric clock.

Cheers,

I guess the only Honda car I had was a 1973 Civic, one of the first sold in Vermont in the Fall of 1973. I had a '67 Firebird convertible, but with gas near 50 cents per gallon, just couldn't afford to drive it, 10-12 mpg. The new Civic, with the optional hatchback and AM radio, and then the Vt. sales tax added came to $2502 otd, And I made my first trip to Florida in it, a little over 1500 miles and a fuel cost of $21 and change!
Damn, would I like that Firebird back!! D
Gas went up that winter and it cost over $27 to return to Vt. in the spring;dragster;

Fuel thirsty?:shrug:

Yes you are correct, my brain was thinking Ridgeline, my fingers typed out Tacoma. Lol

Fuel thirsty?:shrug:

thirst y

adjective

A friend of mine just bought his third CR-V. He loves them. He says they are extremely reliable.

[av8rdave]

My drive to work is 120 miles. This car is perfect for me, as I like the comfort and occasionally need the cargo capacity.

The Mrs. recently retired from Honda, so we have a lot of experience with them - all good.

Before the CRV, I drove an Accord Crosstour. LOVED that car!
