2005 Honda CRV EX AWD - most reliable Honda… ever?

[soldierjt]

They really are good for reliability I got a 06 with 312k with original engine and trans still works beautifully

You cannot kill these engines, super hard to do

Love my 2004 with the 4 speed auto. Great engine and transmission combo. Just enough power to move the small suv without feeling slouchy or having to be heavy footed. I even tow a small 5x8 utility trailer sometimes with furniture, never exceeds 1500 lbs but it pulls fine! 190k and counting

Two years ago, I bought my granddaughter an 03 CR-V. It had exactly 239, 000 miles the day I picked it up. Little things, like the VTEC solenoid filter assembly replacement, chasing down all the other little oil leaks, but it's a gamer. She takes really good care of it and keeps up on fluids and maintenance. Still works like a champ. Great little vehicle.

246, 000 miles on my 02. Owner before me was my dad who pampered and dealer maintained it.

I have an 05 CRV with 224k on it. The clutch master cylinder went out on me a few months ago which was odd. Replaced it and everything has been fine. Great car.

[rhonskibeat]

have an 04 Lx with 128k. still works good except i have been having to do a lot of repairs on it.

I have the exact same car with a stick shift! Mine has just over 211, 000 miles on it. I love it. And yes, I had to overhaul the entire braking system on this car, including the brake master cylinder, all four new brake calipers pads and rotors on all four corners and I also installed steel braided brake hoses and the difference is Night and Day. Luckily, the clutch hydraulics were already done by the previous owner. But I also did the wheel hub and bearing assemblies as well on all four corners, and I replaced the brake dust shields which were completely rotted away.

I have an 06 Accord coupe, not the same car but basically the same engine and it’s been extremely reliable for me.

Do you agree with this ? year is best?

CR-V shoppers and owners can be confident that 2005–2006, 2008-2010, 2013, 2015-2016, and 2018–2021 are the best years for this compact Honda crossover. However, engine troubles and other problems suggest staying away from the 2001-2004, 2007, 2011-2012, 2014, and 2017 CR-Vs.

2008 2.0 VTEC crv 230000klm sounds smooth and no vibration .

[aldistefano]

Clean looking engine for that many miles

[Mystic_Christopher]

I bought my '07 element in January. It has 103, 000 mi on it and runs like new!

[nunyabizness]

I found a 2005 Honda CRV with 65, 000 mi on it. I'm just wondering how often do you change out the transmission fluid with these Hondas?

[prasannakkk]

I just got one wuth 340k
Did some minor home repair
Like brakes, clean throttle body, chabge filters, oils and now mf hits easy 160km like its nothing
These are the most strong built engine i have ever seen

[Sykora]

Have a 2010 CRV that I’ve had since 2015. That thing has had virtually NO issues since I’ve had it outside of an A/C repair. We have a 2016 pilot elite and the 2010 CRV is still the most reliable car we have and probably will ever have.

My 1997 Honda CRV has 246k miles and runs amazing

Bro needs to do 22 hours of slaying SpillSpecs

[Deevon]

[grabby]
