Review

I've never been disappointed with a Honda before, and this vehicle is no exception. Even though it's larger than most cars I've purchased, it has extremely responsive handling and is quite fun to drive. The back seats fold up to hold all sorts of large cargo loads and still handles well fully loaded. We had an optional trailer hitch put on to tow our kayaks, but have not yet purchased a trailer. Hope it will tow nicely too. All in all, a very comforable vehicle to drive.

Review

I love this vehicle. The only thing I regret is I miss having a bigger car. At the same time, I'm glad it's smaller for economy reasons. I like the leather trim; however, I would like it fully leathered. I would also like to have alittle more visibility from the right side.

Favorite Features

area walk through. I can access my kids in the backseat by lifiting the adjustable tray counsel.

Living in Erie, PA, where the weather changes every two minutes, this car has totally stood up to all my needs!

This car is comfortable but yet not to big I have a 3 year old and it has great space. The ride is comfortable and I like the realtime AWD I don't have to worry about turning it on and off.

I have a problem with the back headrests and my rear view mirror. I had to take them out to see.

Review

The CRV is not a leader in any one category with the exception of quality and resale value. Need sport car like handeling? Get the Subaru. Need a real off roader? Get the Jeep.But if you want plenty of power, a smooth ride, great milage, plenty of storage space, a thoughtfully laid out interior, and enough off road capacity to get you down that muddy dirt road or unplowed snowy side street, buy the CRV. I recommend the sporty 5 speed manual transmission to work the most out of the engine. It has many other thoughtful features such as a fold down centre tray which allows easy rear access and reclining rear seats.

Favorite Features

Many thoughtful interior design touches like reclining rear seats which also fold forward to create massive storage capacity.

Suggested Improvements

Less tire road noise in Cabin would be nice and slightly larger tires.

Honda CRV Handling

Review

The vehicle was very functional. The interior extremely well designed, materials excellent. The one major draw back is the handling. The least amount of moisture on the road the tires do not grip and spin from a stop. Also the care has a pronounced pull to the right when accelerating from a stop.

Review

Purchased CRV for wife and kids to drive - great around town and on trips. Gas milage is not great but ok. Road noise is an issue but not bad. Vehicle handles great and power is adequate. So far we have enjoyed this vehicle.

Favorite Features

The CRV handles well(could be better) and is easy to drive and park.

Suggested Improvements

I believe larger wheels and wider wheel base would add to the appearance and handling ability of the vehicle.
