Used 2007 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
I love my new CRV
I recently purchased a 2007 black on black EX-L AWD model with navigation. I picked it up on the day of a recent snowstorm and driving home from work I knew I had made the right decision. I felt extremely safe. I owned a VW Golf previously and was worried I'd miss driving a manual. That's not the case as the CRV has great pick up for a 4cyl. The handling is great as well. A good guy friend drove it on the highway the other evening and was amazed at how it hugged the turns going at speeds of 75. The navigation system is user friendly and I like the voice recognition, though it's been a little quirky so far. It can take two tries for it to hear your voice correctly.
Love this car!
Pros: Ride, handling, XM, navigation, looks, comfort. Cons: No automatic headlights. Driving experience I was afraid that I might be making a mistake by not buying a 6 cyl. vehicle such as the Toyota RAV4 which was my other choice. My fears vanished when I drove this car out of the showroom and on to the highway. The engine provides easy acceleration and plenty of power. The car handles beautifully, turns on a dime, offers great visuals and is fun to drive. I do not find road noise as described in other opinions to be an issue at all. I find the cabin very quiet. Comfort and convenience: This car is unbelievably comfortable, offers plenty of storage compartments.

New CRV a lot of vehicle for price
Researched 5 small/med utility-Honda CRV, Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4, Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape, Subaru Forrester. Honda & Toyota were best. But Honda CR-V best for price, 5-star safety/crash rating, 5-star depreciation. Honda has standard sunroof, lift tailgate, spare tire hidden inside. Toyota doesn't include standard sunroof, side-hinge tailgate, & spare tire outside. Toyota side- hinge impedes curb loading & opening inside garage. So far CRV avg 22-24 mpg town & 25-28 hwy, but mpg to increase 2-3 mpg after 1st oil change. Smooth/stable ride & shifting, solid braking, good traction wet cond, roomy interior, easy reach int gadgets, back seats easy access, roomy cargo, rear console food/drinks.
CRV 2007
Excellent vehicle. I put 240,000 on my 99 CR-V. Im getting 28 MPG on the highway. The new model rides a little rougher, but it's more comfortable. The 2007 has a lot more horsepower, nice handling.
Money Well Spent
Has not been back to the dealer for any issues. This is a solid, good looking vehicle. It rides great. My wife and I really enjoy it to the point we are finding "reasons" to drive it instead of our 2005 Avalon. The new design seems upscale and sporty. Acceleration is adequate but a little more acceleration on tap when merging on the highway would be nice. Once at speed it is great. The interior,audio system and gauges are well thought out. (Wish the front seat cushions were a little longer and maybe a touch softer) Honda knows how to build a quality vehicle for the money!
