Honda CRV AWD 2011
Source: Edmunds

...Researched for months, was concerned by reports of lack of power and excessive road noise.
Test drove 3 CRVs; the 3rd was so quiet and fun to drive (shod with the much criticised Continental tires), both in town and on the highway.
Remarkable, considering some negative reviews. No hesitation buying this CRV -- replaced my aging faithful V6 Odyssey minivan.
Fuel economy of 25 mpg so far in mixed 70:30 town:highway driving, but I do have a light foot. Very pleased...

Honda needs to address severe wind noise in their 2011 CRV
Source: Edmunds

...This is my first Honda, that I love in general. I took my first Pacific Coastal Highway trip and the mileage was not as promised, but the car rode nicely.
Except, that on the freeways the windows wind noise is severe.
I test drove it around the dealership and never on the freeway at 70 miles, my mistake.
However, I do want Honda to know as dealership says it is a design problem and cannot be fixed.
I sent my first payment to Honda Financing this month, in pain, as I am not entirely happy about this severe wind noise that ruins the conversation with your passengers.

Broken Engine Bolts

...While driving a few days ago 2 engines bolts broke. Luckily I was not killed. The Go Honda dealer in Westminster , CO said it could be fixed and he cannot let me break the lease because he would loose money and he would go out of business if everybody could just return cars. My car is not a lemon. I would have to have 5 similar occurrences, The managers name is Eric. I am supposed to drive this car with my 2 grandchildren, no way in hell. The staff at the dealership are rude, insensitive to say the least, including the overall manager Matt Hall. Honda needs to recall this model before someone...

How could the maker of Accura have made this thing?
Source: Edmunds

...The more I drive it, the more I dislike it. The ride is awful. Its harsh. It pitches, bobs, darts...its tiring to drive. Had the struts checked, they're fine. The seats are poorly bolstered. Controls are wanky. Can't get into the tailgate without a key. Less room than you might think. Noisy. Apparently designed to look "correct"... and that's all. Switching from Subaru Outback to this thing is a disaster. I want to replace it with a Volvo or Mazda 6 wagon. Just as much room, and a way better drive. Don't care about a couple of MPG at this point!...

Luv my CR-V
Source: Edmunds

...I've had my CR-V for 3 years and still love it just like the day I bought it.
It gets great gas mileage and maintenance is next to nothing.
The Honda was my first car that was not an American Vehicle and I love it. It has stood up to grandchildren and trips and still feel like it's new. My next car will also be a CR-V...

The good one

...Pros: Good Cons: Good Overall: Good...

HR-V (Harvy)
Source: Edmunds

...Harvy is the name my CR-V was given by his previous owner.
She loved this car and recently sold it to me at a price that can only be described as a steal, but only after buying a new CR-V.
I have only owned Harvy for about a month, but I bought the 14 year old car with almost 160,000 miles.
Soon after, my area got hit with 18"+ of snow. I let my wife drive my 2007 Z71 and took Harvy out for a true test drive.This little suv was unstoppable.
I went places i would of been wary of with my Z71.
Armed with nothing more than a snow shovel tucked neatly in the luggage rack...

Very dependable.

...Pros: My third very dependable. Cons: Would have liked to had other choice in interior color. Overall: Excellent...

Why should I also consider these?

The 2011 Honda CR-V has in recent years become less of a pint-size SUV and more of a minivan alternative—though it keeps its economical operation and carlike handling.

It's in a hotly contested class, though, with plenty of alternatives—some of which might be a better choice, depending on your priorities.

The Chevrolet Equinox was completely redesigned for 2010, gaining a more fuel-efficient standard four-cylinder engine and greatly improved interior, and it's now a strong alternative.

So is the Toyota RAV4, which has a plush ride and feels like a larger vehicle (it is, with three-row capability available).

The Subaru Forester feels a bit sportier than the rest, it comes with standard all-wheel drive, and after its most recent redesign it’s more spacious and comfortable.

Both the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson have gone from also-rans to real contenders over the past year; thanks especially to spruced-up interiors and a more refined feel, they're comfortable alternatives, even if they're not as roomy as the CR-V.

 
2011 Hyundai Tucson
Much better than its predecessor, the 2011 Hyundai Tucson needs a touch more power and steering feel to top carlike utes like the Nissan Rogue.
