Honda owners are loyal, as this Honda CRV Review will show. There's good reason for this, as expert engineering has teamed with modern technology to make a truly rewarding ownership experience. Our CRV is a 2007 model and was purchased new at a New York dealership. Over the last forty five thousand miles, we've come to love the vehicle enough to recommend it with this Honda CRV Review.
Our CRV is a four wheel drive model and it's honestly the best winter vehicle I've owned, which is saying quite a bit considering that I've had two Subarus in the past. Our neighbor has a front wheel drive model and it does pretty well in the snow unless it gets over six inches. My recommendation is to opt for the four wheel drive model at least for the fact that it will increase resale value down the road.
We opted the mid level EX level CRV, which had a base price of around twenty four thousand dollars, and used Edmunds.com to get the best deal. We offered five hundred dollars over invoice and paid twenty five thousand dollars "out the door", as they say. I'm happy to report that in researching this Honda CRV Review I discovered that our 2007 model has held it's value quite well.
Every detail about the vehicle is worth mentioning in this Honda CRV Review. Thoughtful details abound, from the second glove box which is perfect for small items such as an Easy Pass or GPS. The rubberized coating on the top of the dashboard initially struck me as strange, but then I realized it was just another of those famous Honda engineering tricks- this one to lessen glare when the sun hits the dashboard.
The CRV has a fine level of fit and finish and it bears mentioning that the convenience of one touch up and down windows and one touch open and close sunroof functions help you keep your attention where it should be: on the road. Which leads me to the gauges, which are thoughtfully laid out and easy to glance at quickly. Worth mentioning is that the dashboard lights up in red and blue at night and is easy on the eyes and quite attractive.
No Honda CRV Review would be complete without mentioning how it fulfills the S and U in SUV. Sport is certainly believable in that the engine does have more than adequate power. Although it is a smaller engine, it delivers power efficiently through the use of multiple camshafts, valves and precise computer tuning. The five speed automatic transmission does a good job of finding the proper gear quickly without being jarringly so. We have regularly achieved thirty four miles to the gallon on the highway with our 2007 Honda CRV.
The U in Utility is met in like fashion as the S for sport. For the purposes of this Honda CRV Review, utility will include the capacity to carry luggage but also will focus on how it accommodates humans. Groceries are a breeze with a unique, removable tray that separates the area behind the rear seats into two sections (perfect for putting fragile things away from heavier groceries). With the seats folded down, I've never had a project come up that our CRV couldn't handle. That is significant, as I am responsible for several rental properties.
I'm a broad shouldered man, and have never felt cramped in the CRV. Even on the occasions I've had to ride in the back seat haven't produced a grumble from me. Part of accommodating people is making them comfortable, and the seats have plenty of support without being too hard. The air conditioning and heating controls are easy to use and are incredibly effective. The stereo has provisions for an ipod input, and the redundant buttons on the steering wheel help you pay attention to the road. Without hesitation, this Honda CRV Review enthusiastically recommends this vehicle.
