CR-V Beats Accord

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

This is a great car. My prior vehicle was an 02 Accord V6. The Accord had power but not much else.This is a really fun car. The SE in pewter pearl is beautiful. Interior is very comfortable. Controls are accessibe and easy to use.Radio & 6CD changer is a real plus. Plenty of room in rear seat for tall adults and plenty of storage. Exterior molding in body color makes the car. For a 4 cylinder car has excellent pick-up and is getting good gas mileage. I was looking to purchase an SUV; the Pilot was too big and so far I am completely satisfied w/ the CR-V.

I've had two of the vehicles. The car is so fun to drive. We don't do too much long distance, but on a long trip it was fine. Got best tires available and that seemed to be a plus. It is just great and fun and economical and holds 4 people with plenty of room and lots of baggage or purchases. No complaints on our 2004.

I've Always Had Honda's

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

I've had Honda's forever, and have always loved them. When looking for a small SUV, I considered the Xterra because of 6 cyl. engine. Was totally surprised at the pep in the CRV. I've always drven manual transmission cars, but wanted an automatic. Was afraid that I'd lose too much pickup. I went to the EX model mostly because the upholstery in the LX was tacky. I didn't really want 4WD since I live in FL and it's not necessary. I'm a teacher and off-road stuff is not my thing. Honda always equips their cars well, and the CRV is no exception. The comfort level is great. I think I'm going to love this car.

It's a Honda. What more needs to be said? It's dependable, econonmic and fuel efficient. It's everything I wish the American builders would copy.

My 05 CR-V EX Fits All My Needs and Why

I could not be happier with my 05 Honda CR-V EX (5 speed auto/AWD). The 4 cyl is very peppy. Because of plenty of low speed torque it beats most of the V-6's I drove. This 4 cyl is very responsive and fun to drive. Others are too truck like for me. I love the look both inside and out. The interior is very plush above the rest. It beats all the compact sized SUV's in cargo and personal roominess. Consider it Mid-sized. For my use,I just want dependable transportation in bad weather and a snappy fun car-like ride, but with the looks and height of a SUV. It is all this in an affordable package that gets high gas mileage and will retain a high resale value It's a HONDA!
