Original owner of a 2009 Honda CRV. The maintenance is 100% up to date. Dealer serviced only. 160k miles knock on wood I have not had any major problems. Did change out all of the struts. I loved the car. Gave it to my brother this year (2021). Go Honda.

Hey, I am considering buying one that already has 170000 miles on it. How many more miles do you think I can get out of it?

Good informative video, however, may I offer one small sugggestion ,,,,, ditch the background music. Being a video production specialist while on active duty for the Air Force, we learned real fast, that most of the audience was tuning into the music instead of the material at hand. The others said the music was to distracting . As soon as I tuned this in , the first thing that hit me was the music ,, the rest of the info got lost and or garbled with the information being presented.

Great review. It helped a lot. I loved your sense of humor.

thank you for this very detail vid

Got mine with 200K on it and give it to another owner. Its a manual and by the driving you won't feel you are driving a 200K driven car. In fact I used to have 2007 one which conditions was not good but this 200K is runs better then that. I can say if you maintain it well it won't disappoint you any time

My 2007 CR-V has 401K miles and I can't see myself getting rid of it in the near future. My friends and I call it the death trap and miracle car interchangeably.

death trap? they probably drive giant lifted trucks and suvs

I bought my '08 EX-L with 132k miles. I had issues with the VTEC control module and solenoid and it has run great ever since. I'm at 193k miles now! I had to replace the a/c compressor and the alternator, but I think those parts were past their useful life cycle. Also, the locks always break on these cars (there's an auto-lock feature that causes a lot of wear and tear, but you can easily turn the feature off as listed in the owners manual) and the cloth seats are more durable than the leather ones.

Love this channel!!!

I am seriously thinking of getting this for my son. Videos like this allow me to do make an educated decision on whether or not to buy the one we're looking at getting. At the ned of the day I guess it comes down to my own history with Honda. 3 great motorcycles I owned and 3 great cars make my decision making a whole lot easier. I'm all in for car #4!

Would recommend getting a 2011. Been driving mine since 2013 and almost 200k miles with no mechanical engine issues. Just A/C problems.

I like this information, but it would be so much better without the (too loud) “background” noise/music. ❤️

Thanks for information

Yep, AC compressor... It failed on mine at 80k miles. #6 orginal brake calipers could fail in the braking position? I've read that was a common problem and I've experienced it.

My 2009 still runs like a champ!

My car has 350000 Km and has needed nothing but oil changes

You forgot to add that the LCD instrumental cluster in the dash tend to fail due to broken solder joints in the connection pins.

I have a CR-V Lx 2008 . I have a radio that is not working with the display showing HF LINK with a phone icon . I can’t seem to reset it I tried disconnecting the battery Pushing reset buttons Removed the fuse under the hood Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Why do you list basic maintenance issues as common problems?!! I'm talking about the starter and basic fluid changes.

My 2007 just hit 300k, its so solid I got a used 2009 to swap parts back and forth on. Both still drive and shift amazing. I got the stut bar noise but honestly doesn't effect the driving.

My starter went out and it’s hell getting that starter back in place !! The shop actually put one bolt in mines causing it to break on me ! My serpentine belt was also hard to have replaced it kept jumping off when start my vehicle!! This crv is starting to be a pain in my ssa

A lot problems with the TPMS module unit.... Module can't save the ID learned from the sensors, so this problem it's a common failure. Five ones just in 2024!

I just bought me a 3rd Gen because my 1st gens transmission went out. I love the car, don't get me wrong, but it has SO much less features than my 99. No full spare, no table, horrid back seat capabilities and the seats don't turn into a bed.. reliability is phenomenal and tbh, the thing is a freaking go kart. Probably use the 3rd to tow a break down camper conversion on the first gen.

My 2011 is going strong at 160k, only issue the car has given me is a leak in the evaporator coil.

Some questions guys: 1) CR-V gen3 2.0 are reliable...?? 2) Also they are thirsty for gasoline? 3) trunk space is big enough? Help your friend from Greece brothers, thanks

I watched a video about why my check fuel cap keeps coming on when I start my 2011 CRV and it says it may be the selenoid? Once i push the button on the cluster panel to reset it it doesn’t come back on. Its inly got 77,000 miles cuz my mom didn’t drive it a lot when she got it in 2014 or 15. So I bought a new gas cap awhile ago like a few months back and it been going on since i got it. Its made for my car so idk why else the check fuel cap light would come on the cluster panel unless it’s a bad selenoid?

I recently bought an '09 CR-V with 90k on it. Front wheel drive. Replaced the rear struts, as the ride was stiff and clunky. The clunk-clunk is slightly improved, but I still feel and hear every uneven bit of road. The suspension is very stiff. I'd love to compare the car with another CR-V to see if stiffness is general in the model, but haven't found a way to do so. I like the car, but it would be nice if it handled a washboard stretch of highway with greater aplomb.

original owner of a 2009 CRV. 160K miles. I came here looking for fan related issues since mine has had 2 issues recently. I will say that some of these are spot on. I've had the starter issues, Lots of AC issues. 3 times i've had to replace the Relay for the compressor. , both stabilizer bars, and all shocks/struts due to them leaking hydraulic fluid. Thankfully no trans, rear end, or engine issues. Also, pretty much all the leather on the inside is trash. all seats and arm rests started wearing evenly at the same time even though we had the car for 5 years before we got kids and started using the back seat.
