Probably the best small SUV

2005 Honda CR-V LX Fwd 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

It's fun to drive, with plenty of useful room. I seem to be in a small minority who chose the Fwd version here in TN, but I don't intend to drive off-road, and I've done OK with Fwd sedans in the winter here. The engine has plenty of power. However, I think the engine feels "touchy", and the acceleration and decel. should be smoother. Milage around town after two tanks of gas is 21.6 mpg.

Feels Solid and it's Fun to Drive

Previous vehicle was a '95 Toyota Camry; traded up for a bigger and hopefully safer vehicle that won't also be a gas hog. This is deceptively big with a very well thought out interior. It rides firmly and solidly over the rough roads of central PA. So far I have no complaints whatsoever about it. I love sitting higher when I drive and I am impressed with all of the standard safety features. I also love the interior cargo space - I'm an artist and this vehicle has plenty of room for me to haul around my paintings and other materials. Love it so far!

Best Small SUV for the Price

Afer 6 months of research and several weeks of dealer haggling, I brought home my CR-V this week. This car is tight and handles like a sedan. The saftey rating is exceptional. I now own 3 Hondas because of the exceptional performance and dealer support.

CRV SE edition is nice

2005 Honda CR-V Special Edition AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

I got a new 2005 CRV SE in Pewter Pearl color with black leather seat inside. I have been waiting for the SE edition. The new color looks really nice, especially with the front and rear bumpers painted. I traded in my 2003 silver Pilot. The Pilot is nice but kind of big for me. The car is very fun, easy, and peppy to drive. Power is also good enough for me, better than 2001 CRV. Not a road burner but good enough for everyday use. The Pilot has more power but feel heavier when drive and so the CRV feels more peppy to drive. Noise is also very acceptable for me. It has been improved much better than my previous 2001 CRV but not as good as the 2003 Pilot.

Bought the Pewter Pearl 2005 SE with leather seats...it's a beautiful car...the leather interior makes the car. It is so elegant looking....lots of amenities found on a much more expensive SUV..the car is loaded with heated seats,heated side mirrors, 6 CD changer, alloys, roof rack, door edge guards...the car is really sharp..and great pickup too
