Honda CR-V in general

I would not think of Honda when it comes to 4 X 4 jeep type off roaders. Landrover,Suzuki and Chrysler Jeep yes! it now seems every motor manufacturer wants to jump on the offroad bandwagon and build a 4 x 4. But the Honda CRV is a nice little car as well as an off roader. I compare it to the Rav 4 and BMW or Mercedes offering. Special edition models of popular cars usually add a number of extra equipment items for little extra cost and that's exactly what Honda offers with its HR-V 'Special Edition'. It comes in 2 flavours of Jeep. A 2 Wheel version and a 4WD version. The difference in Price is only £500 to. Exterior. ...  Read the complete review

I have a Honda CRV automatic made in 2004. This review is about the interior of the car. All the bits that I want to know about a new car and are never included in a What Car review! As to the engine - the car goes fast enough for me, thanks. And it's easy to drive. And the outside? Looks ok to me - see the picture above! ** The important bit ** Right. Let's start at the back. The most important thing - you can fit 3 child carseats on the back seat. Woohoo! I have a Bebe Confort 9mth-4yr seat, a Jane high-backed booster and a Nania high-backed booster in a row. The space between the two boosters is a little tight - I can reach in and do ...  Read the complete review

YIPPEEEEE!!!! There's nothing quite like the glorious, naïve, rosy eyed, uncertain pleasure of getting a new car. A veritable rush of glee washes over you, filling your senses with an unquestioning feeling of outstanding well-being - the gleam, the sheen, the wonder machine - the robust, unflinching THUNK as well engineered door slams firmly shut with a reassuring feel of quality. It doesn't last all that long, of course, so enjoy it while it lasts for pretty soon the novelty is over and it's just a heap of metal, but for a while it least there's nothing like it, so enjoy it while it lasts. Mrs D, of course, was stood there ...  Read the complete review

After my mum traded in her old car she bought a Honda CRV 2.2 CDTI in steel grey colour. My first impressions was it looked a bit dull, by far not the prettiest 4x4 but I didn't make any further judgement until I drove it. The interior was basic but well laid out and a nice eye soothing blue dashboard. Everything seems well screwed together and most of the plastics are good quality and soft to touch. The CRV has a good spec with cruise control, cooled glove box, radio steering controls, twin airbags, climate control, remote central locking etc. On turning the key the first thing I noticed was how refined the engine was, infact one of the quietest ...  Read the complete review

Honda’s first CR-V was a million seller and here is the second generation version. It may go by the same name but this one’s built in Swindon and is an all-new car with restyled, more aggressive looks, a completely new powertrain and a brochure full of new features and equipment. Although its off-road capabilities are better suited to grass and gravel rather than deep mud and sand, the CR-V with its ‘intelligent’ 4WD system certainly shouldn’t get stuck in a shallow puddle. Like the outgoing model, should the permanently driven front wheels start to slip, power is automatically fed on demand to the rears. Unlike the old ...  Read the complete review
