Love my CR-V

Review

I decided to downsize for better gas mileage and to afford all the amenities and safety features. I'm so glad I did - I love my CR-V! I get about 22-25 mpg in the city, and 30+ highway (even w/4 people and luggage). This car is comfortable, cute, fun to drive, and handles like a car. The interior feels spacious. The cargo shelf doubles the space for groceries, and the folding/rumble back seats are great for carrying mid-size loads. My kids like that they can recline the back seats, as well as adjust the leg room. There's no a/c vent in the back, but it cools down quickly. Good visibility, and backup camera provide added safety. I highly recommend the CR-V!

Favorite Features

Gas mileage, heated seats, exterior styling, GPS/nav, XM radio, mp3 jack, console compartment, extra power outlets, space for purse between front seats (in front of center console). I also like that there's no tire mounted on the liftgate like on the RAV4.

Suggested Improvements

Add a/c vent to back seat. Fix sun visor so it sits low enough to block sun when moved to the side.

Review

@ 30000 miles to date. Only issue has been to have the rear axle grease changed for the grinding sound when backing up. By far MUCH improved, ride etc. from the 2006 CRV we owned. Over all very pleased.

Favorite Features

Fun to drive. Sound System. Led light on console.

Suggested Improvements

Seats leave some comfort to be desired on longer trips.

Review

I have had my Honda CR-V for 1 year and 9 months now and still can't say anything negative about it. I had the 2006 Civic before but, it was too small. I upgraded to the CRV and am convinced I will only buy Hondas from now on. It is roomy, fuel efficient, reliable, and comfortable. What more can you ask for. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles but, who needs those? I definitely suggest the CR-V. In fact, I'm searching online to pick one out for my mom.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, fuel efficient, and very spacious for a small SUV.

Suggested Improvements

To make V6s

Solid Small SUV

2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV w/Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Nice entry level SUV. Good for small family with one child. Gets decent MPG, 27-28 on Hwy, 24-25 around town. Wish it had more room, looking to upgrade to Pilot. Passenger seat is manual, no rear A/C vents, could come with more options and colors. Stock tires were Bridgestone, they wear fast.

Favorite Features

Nav system, stereo, fuel efficiency (runs on 87), pretty quiet ride, nimble.

Suggested Improvements

Weak acceleration, passenger seat is manual, no rear A/C controls, stock tires are average, pricey for such little room inside

I have driven Honda Accords; Nissan and Mercedes and LOVE the CR-V in comparison to the others. This is an extremely comfortable ride with versatility. I have no complaints. Aside from the real bells and whistles, this is a great auto and I HIGHLY recommend it to others.

Favorite Features

interior comfort and shift

Good Small SUV

2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Great small suv overall. Ride is smooth overall but can be jarring over medium to larger size bumps. Engine has enough power around the city, but could use more on the freeway or when merging. Interior is nicely finished, but leather is a little on the cheap side compared to a premium small suv (acura rdx, infiniti ex35, etc.).

Favorite Features

XM, fog lights, spoiler, cargo tray for storing two levels of cargo. Overall exterior looks are much improved in 07 over previous box style body. (I didn't care for the back spare tire that used to be stored on the rear door on older models.)

Suggested Improvements

Need power driver and passenger seats. (I think they added this in '08). Better engine performance on freeway. More cargo space. Back wheels have a slight hesitation when engaging in snow so front wheels will spin. Factory Continental tires only lasted 30,000 miles.

A Good Car to Own

2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

My Wife and I made a decision when we discovered another child was on the way, that we should get the family a new car. We sold our 2001 Hyundai 300 XL and purchased a 2007 EX-L AWD CRV. We had averaged around 21 mpg with the Hyundai and are now averaging 24 mpg with the Honda. The quality craftsmanship difference for the Honda vs Hyundai is huge. You get what you pay for. I feel much better knowing my wife and two daughters are safe with a very reliable car to transport them throughout their weekly routine. I wish the Honda had more power, but with today's fuel prices the fuel economy is more important. My wife had owned a Prelude before we were married, so she's a Honda Gal anyway

Favorite Features

Cargo Space, all the review mirrors for monitoring children, interior layout, exterior bumper guards for shopping cart deflection, seat height, fuel economy, overall manufacturing quality.

Suggested Improvements

better performance in hills and on the highway.

Made for short Females

2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Totally made for a female. Raising the drivers seat up sends the whole seat closer to the front of the vehicle. Not enough leg room. Armrests are super tiny, my elbow is always on the edge of the rest. Other then those items, it's great. Drives like a sports car. Plenty of power, good gas mileage.

Favorite Features

Engine performance all with good gas mileage. steering wheel controls

Suggested Improvements

larger arm rests. let the seat go back farther for more leg room. let the steering wheel tilt farther down.

Review

This is our 3rd CR-V. I LOVE the new flip up tailgate-that was the only feature I didn't like in our prior CR-Vs. The ride is smooth, it fits all of our stuff. Plenty of storage. I really like the new cover for the cargo area. I also love having a big car feel but small car gas mileage. I don't find any blind spots, I love the instrument panel, very user friendly. We love our Hondas, never had any problems with them. Can't imagine owning another small suv.

Favorite Features

The flip up tailgate. If someone pulls in too close it's not a problem-we can still easily access the cargo area. I also really like the driver controls on the steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

I'm not wild about the cup holders for the front passengers-wish they would've copied the accord coupe to hold a better variety of cup sizes. Also wish little more storage in front for cell phone. I realize there is some space under the console-but it's seems to low.
