| 2005 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | In comparing all the other reasons for purchasing a vehicle the CR-V was the better price. |

| Price of the Honda CR-V: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Cost was a bit more than the Jeep, but for a less capable snow vehicle. Honda has a good reputation and resale value, but with the lifetime Jeep warranty the Honda was not a contender |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Much more expensive than a Rogue with similar features. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | high price = high monthly payments |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | The crv has a high sticker price compared to other brands of like vehicle. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | no incentives, dealer wanted close to list price. no way i ever pay list, never. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Paying in built-in premium for the Honda brand. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Over 2k more than Grand Vitara which seemed much less cramped in the interior and better styled |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Its too much. The interior is some what plain. Not a lot of helpful features like a Message center. |

| Price of the Acura TSX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Got it for well below invoice |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | inexpensive in its class |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35) |
| Price of the Acura TSX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | too high |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Dealer unwilling to negotiate price. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
One can see that engineers have pull at Honda. No part says "we saved 5 cents on every unit". |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Flawless bodywork and paint job. Excellent fit and finish on everything. Even the plastic pieces seem well made. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Te materials are firm but of good quality on the inside and the outside has great fit and finish as does the inside. The design is simple and functional. After a drive of almost 2000 miles we love it even more. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
The car is solid.... nothing cheap looking or fitting on it. No squeaks or rattles. Controls well placed and thoughts out. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Everything fits, looks nice and has no rattles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
First class fit and finish of materials. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Higher quality than competitors. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
It is a solid car with no items that are likely to break. Doors close with a nice "thunk" Interior trim etc. just feels like quality but with no shiney frills. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
They made it wash out simple |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For a low cost suv things are just fine |

None so far |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
While i am sure the reliability will be outstanding, the fit and finish on the EX model does not compare to the Tiguan. It feels cheaper. I mean common, give us a decent console if I am to pay 30K |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The plastic strip inside the doors looked cheap, as did a lot of the interior. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Interior panels are hard plastic. Lot of problems with the A/C in this model and the brakes have issues. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Feels very upscale, no gaps in trim, quality appears to be better thanthe Fusion. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The interior is put together pretty well. The seats are more plush and comfortable than the 1st gen. Most of the materials are nice, but there are some areas where Acura skimped. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Fine leather and no cheap plastics on the interior, dash is very nice and looks really good at night. Would have preferred that Acura kept the blue dash lights though. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
High quality interior |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Every line and gap is even and tight. Interior finishes are nice and not cheap and tacky. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Everything is just so nicely put together. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Good finish throughout. Car sounds good inside and out. Never needs visits to the shop. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Consistent Honda quality. Easy to work on, well assembled. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
TOP NOTCH FOR THE MONEY |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
From the front lip to the rear end of the car it is beautifully built. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
excellent fit and finish all around. |
