  Cant touch dis - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By accelv - September 12 - 10:20 am

  I drove practically all the competing small SUVs and the CRV came out on top for many reasons: safety, value, economy, reliability, design, and price ($20,300 out the door, including tax!). Its a nearly perfect vehicle, just as good as my previous 98 Odyssey, the top rated vehicle in the 1998 Consumer Reports auto issue. I just wish I could have waited to see the 2007 model. Honda packs a lot of vehicle into diminutive dimensions and has cleverly designed the rear seats to adjust back and forth, recline, split, and fold and tumble forward for massive storage.

  2nd CR-V fEX or me - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By watson - September 6 - 12:59 am

  this is my second CR-V I just traded in my 2003 CR-V EX (with 88,000 miles on it) for a 2006 model, because I loved my first one. this is my 4th Honda. Hondas really made some great addtions since 2003. First, the EX is now available in 2WD the AWD was nice, but I did not need it, and felt it robbed mileage. Second, it now has 16- inch tires, so the ride is MUCH improved. Third, the stability control is a nice addition, especially the with the braking assist. Fourth, the new side curtain airbags were a great safety touch. I have had the 2006 for 2 weeks, and I love it. Its fun to drive, and peppy. I am looking forward to improved gas mileage. Glad they kept the in-dash CD changer.

  love my CR-V - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Maria - September 3 - 5:43 pm

  I just bought my car about 2 months ago, and I absolutely love my CR-V. I have always had little sporty cars and needed one with a little more space. I researched a lot of vehicles, and I couldnt be happier with my decision. It handles beautifully, and I still have that sporty feel that I love. Considering I do mostly in town driving, it gets good gas milage for its size. I love the sun roof and in-dash 6 CD changer that comes standard with the EX model. I traded my Scion tc in on the CR-V and am very glad I did.

  Great SUV - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Rick - September 2 - 3:50 pm

  Originally looking at the RAV4. I decided to go with the CRV. Its actually faster off the start than the RAV, and has 11 HP less. The engine is also quieter than the RAV. Ive had this vehicle only a week, and can tell Ill have it for a long time. The SE was also a couple grand less that the RAV. Someone wrote that this vehicle had a noisy engine at higher speeds. This egine is quiet at higher speeds. Nothing bad to say about this vehicle. You cant have everything, but what I have I like.

  My CRV vs. my Highlander - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Al C. - September 1 - 5:46 am

  We have a 2004 Toyota Highlander V6, auto. loaded and were very satisfied with it. Its deserving of Consumer Reports top ratings for safety, reliabilty, etc. Wanted to get a smaller SUV with fully loaded features including moonroof, traction & stability, front, side airbags, etc. CRV also garnered top ratings and deserves it! Cant tell its only a 4 liter unless we are driving a full load of adults going uphill. Otherwise, it is peppy and powerful on the highway, and gets very good fuel economy. In local driving my Highlander gets overall 18- 19 mpg and the CRV gets 21-22. Great Honda clearance price and next years CRV styling doesnt look as trucklike as this years. Go CRV!

  Lemon? - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By pwaddell - August 31 - 8:46 pm

  It may be too early to call this one a lemon, but its getting there quickly. Its been in the shop for one of the four weeks weve owned it and will be going back. The vehicle developed a low vibration when accelerating after a week or so. It was determined to be the AC. The dealersip replaced the compressor, belt tensioner, and water pump and drained and refilled the system. It seemed to work, but the vibration has returned. American Honda has not been helpful. Their response has been you shouldnt expect perfection from a mass produced vehicle. I do expect a new vehicle will be at my house more than 3/4 the time I own it. If this keeps up the Lemon Law will allow me to give it back.

  Great Little SUV! - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By newowner - August 29 - 2:01 pm

  I have only had my CR-V a short time, but I am very happy with it. I am amazed at how much pep it has. I live in a rural area with many steep, curvy roads and my CR-V handles even the steepest hills with ease. Despite the tough driving conditions, it is still getting 23+ mpg, which I feel is excellent for the roads I travel and this also includes city driving. It handles like a small car, has a very tight turning radius and yet has enough cargo room for hauling gardening and horse supplies and my 100-lb dog! It provides a smooth ride and has plenty of room for passengers. I think its a great little SUV and I feel I made a good choice.

  My new CR-V - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Liateacher - August 4 - 1:53 pm

  I wish the interior came with better standard features, like the cargo cover, cargo net and a better storage between driver & passenger seats. They have a tray that goes up or down, but I miss the "box" that I could put CDs into (they have other spaces for CDs but not as big). Also glove box is too thin/narrow, besides my new car manual, not much else fits. There are also no "hooks" where I can hang things from (like a litter bag) and the visor is a bit too thick. It wont fit my old CD visor holder or my garage door/gate openers. There are a few other "little" inconveniences, but overall I love it so far! :)
