Most reliable years, by segment
Same badge. Different car.
Model reputation is an average. You’re not buying the average — you’re buying a year.
Honda CR-V — four model years apart
Both “a used CR-V.” Only one is buyable.2018 Honda CR-V
Walk away — unless the engine work is already done and documented. The oil-dilution failure chain ends in an ~$8,000 engine job, and the warranty extension that covered it expired around 2024.

Federal complaints

Known failure, out of coverage
2022 Honda CR-V
The year to buy — the cleanest CR-V of this generation. Same body, same badge, none of the engine’s failure chain.

Fewer complaints than the 2018

Every one of these problems is cheaper the day before you buy the car than the day after.
Watching a year? We’ll watch it back.
New recalls, federal investigations, and quiet warranty-extension programs land months after you buy. Tell the canary which years you’re considering — it sings when something changes.
