Consumer Review Video - 2012 Honda Crosstour EX-L 3.5L V6
The 2012 Honda Crosstour EX-L is a moderately difficult car to maintain, but a good choice for the experienced car owner. You will have to reach through the wheel well lining in order to reliably access the headlight. This can be a problem, as the lining can grow rigid and tight to the vehicle over time. Both the front and rear wiper blades can be tough to replace, as you will need a tool to remove the blade. Other models do not require the use of tools. To access the tail lights, you will have to completely remove the tail light housing first. This will require a few tools you may not have readily available for a repair.
Some things are easier on the 2012 Honda Crosstour EX-L. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy, as the fluid dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. The battery bracket is easy to remove on this vehicle. You only need to remove a few bolts for access, allowing you to easily remove the battery. The brake fluid reservoir is easily visible on this vehicle. This will allow you to check the fluid level on a regular basis, and easily replenish the fluid if it is low.
