Used 2006 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Space, the final frontier.
I have had this car for exactly 3 years and 69000 miles. It's used for around town and many extended rides of up to 3 to 6 hours each way (the distance to our daughters' colleges). No problems. Handling surprisingly good, better than RX300 we had. Interior is huge, cargo space deceptively large. Perfect back for Golden Retrievers. Fabulous visibility. Very good in bad weather. However, road noise becomes tiresome after an hour. Sound system is just adequate. And my 57 yr old rear end gets sore on long rides (I'm 5'8" and 143lb). If you're going to spend lots of time on commutes or long drives, treat yourself to something more luxo. But for around town and near, it can't be beat.
So good I bought another one!
Just traded in my 2003 with 189,800 miles. What a workhorse! Replaced the battery only in three years of ownership. I highly recommend this vehicle as a company car and personal vehicle. Between work and my 7 year- old twins I could not ask for a more practicle vehicle. I'm 200 mi. in on the 2006 and like the volume controls on the steering wheel and the addition of side curtain airbags.

not user friendly interior
Problems, arm rest are too small, need to be 2/3in wider,no lights on steering wheel controlds(radio,cruse,control) radio station and clock time numbers are too hard to see, not enough "trinket" storage. Other than that its "ok"
CRV - doesn't get any better
After driving Toyotas and VW's for years, this vehicle is above the rest. The engine is more than adequate, most of the time you forget it's not a V6, roomy interior compared to most others in its class, superior design ideas, handles 5 adult passengers without losing a step. This vechile will be around for a LONG time to come.
Just what I was looking for
I found the Honda CR-V easy to handle when driving up hills and around corners. It's got plenty of room for five people, and ample room to store things in the back. I expecially like that the door in the rear opens "out" like a car door verses "up" like most other suv's. This makes it easier on the arms and shoulders of women or smaller people.
