Roomy, fuel-efficient and loaded with family-friendly amenities, the 2013 Honda CR-V is one of our favorite compact crossover SUVs. Notably, we picked the Honda CR-V as one of Edmunds' Best Used SUVs for 2013.

Fresh from its complete makeover last year, the 2013 Honda CR-V compact SUV carries on largely unchanged. The 5-passenger CR-V remains modestly-sized on the outside, but is extremely roomy inside, with a rear seat that accommodates adults and a proper-sized cargo area.

2.4-liter I-4 All CR-V models utilize a 2.4-liter I-4 producing 185 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque, and send power through a five-speed automatic transmission to the front or all four wheels, if the available Real Time all-wheel-drive option is selected.

The first-generation Honda CR-V (Comfortable Runabout Vehicle) helped establish a new breed of compact sport utility vehicle with car-like ride and handling thanks to its unibody construction, four-wheel independent suspension and long wheelbase.

300,000 miles You may find yourself wondering how many miles the CRV can handle and the answer may surprise you. The Honda CRV can run for well over 200,000 miles and, if maintained with a lot of tender love and care, it can keep chugging along even past 300,000 miles.

Best Year Used CR-V: 2015-2016 This can be the best year for the used Honda CR-V for those who want newer amenities without the higher price tag.

Best Year Used CR-V: 2005-2006 If you want an unbeatable deal on a tried-and-true SUV, then look for the 2005 to 2006 model year. This generation can be the best year Honda CR-V to buy used for budget-conscious drivers because of the high fuel economy figures, steady performance, and inexpensive maintenance.

1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine What's the best Honda CR-V model/engine to choose? The 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine is the star of the Honda CR-V show, especially following the 2015 facelift. It's no surprise that the relatively inefficient 2.2-litre i-DTEC diesel engine was dropped from the range.

All CR-V models are powered by a 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 lb-ft.

I'm also looking for a used CRV learned the following:

• 2005,2006 and 2017 are strong years.
• 2007-2011 have thinner A/C shafts resulting in them breaking and requiring a new compressor.
• 2010-2011 piston rings can become stuck with excess carbon resulting in gasoline blowing-by into the motor oil.

2015-2016 Best Year Used CR-V: 2015-2016 If you want a newer used model, then consider the 2015 to 2016 model years.

Honda CR-V 2013 Fuel consumption The Honda CR-V currently offers fuel consumption from 6.9 to 8.7L/100km.

The second-generation CR-V receives praise for its excellent reliability. If you're looking for a more affordable used Honda CR-V then a second-generation vehicle could be the ideal choice. The 05 and 06 models in particular have very strong Honda CR-V reliability reviews.

2013 Honda CR-V Problems Include Transmission Shudder, Rollaway, Rodent Infestations,

• The 2013 Honda CR-V's leading issue is transmission shake at 30-40 miles per hour.
• Potential rollaway has generated a single recall for a faulty brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism.

Things We Don't Like

• Disappointing Gas Engine. Unfortunately, we weren't as impressed with the gasoline version of the CR-V as we were with the hybrid.
• Compromised Visibility. Front visibility is improved over the old CR-V, but not so much to the rear.
• Mushy Brakes.
• No Plug-in Hybrid.
