    By -

    Just picked up 2006 ex with automatic. Very smooth ride. Love the color blue. Has great standard safety features. I owned two other Hondas they were accords an they both served me well. Looking forward to seeing the design of the new 2007. I dont think youll be disappointed with this purchase.

  • I like this Vehicle - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    We traded a 1998 Accord with 190000 odometer miles for this Honda LX CRV. In 3 weeks we put 5400 miles on the vehicle. Temperatures from 105 deg. in AZ to below freezing in Montana. Gas from $4.00 in Ca. to $2.75 in Wy. I like being higher above the road. We purchasd the 4 cyl Auto for the fuel economy. The lowest mpg was in Yuma, AZ., around town, temp 105 deg F at 18.5 mpg with Generic Gas. The best was 33 mpg in the Sacramento Valley and 32 mpg in Wy. both with brand name Gas. We did not experience any mechanical failures on this trip. Honda has done a good job with the layout of the driver and passenger accessories. The front door storage is inconvenient. I give the CRV a rating of 9.

  • A good quality vehicle for the money - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I had this CR-V for almost two months and Im quite satisfied with it. I compared it with the Rav4, and when you consider the base price/with standard options, the value is with the Honda. Ive driven 1700 miles and with this peppy little engine, Ive gotten 23 mpg around town and 33 mpg highway (unloaded). Though, at low speed (20- 30 mph) when I take my foot off the gas, it seems like its holding back- but again, the mpg was still good! I will be bringing that up with the dealer next month. The overall ride is good but the seat seems a bit stiff. The bottom line - I would buy this CR-V again.

  • Fun and great quality for great price! - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I just bought my 06 CRV SE and I couldnt be happier! I traded in my 99 Civic EX and could not believe how much I loved the CRV. It doesnt drive like a typical SUV, much more like a car. Would HIGHLY suggest upgrading to the Special Edition if your budget allows. Leather really gives interior a classier and more professional look. Drives great in heavy rain also, I felt very safe. Time will tell on gas mileage. I shopped around a lot and the Honda dealers were definitely the most honest and straight forward. Overall, very happy with my purchase.

  • Econobox - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I bought this vehicle mainly for its fuel economy and low ownership cost, and its ok in those regards. However, Im disappointed by its rough ride, noisy engine and cabin. I find the controls and interior details annoying. For example, the accessory power stays on only when the ignition is on, making it impossible to keep a cell phone charging overnight. The window lock on the drivers side prevents even the driver from operating the windows. You cant lock the doors with the remote unless all the doors are closed and if you unlock the doors remotely and dont open a door right away, it locks itself again. Honda, stop trying to protect me from myself -- its annoying!

  • So good I bought another one! - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Just traded in my 2003 with 189,800 miles. What a workhorse! Replaced the battery only in three years of ownership. I highly recommend this vehicle as a company car and personal vehicle. Between work and my 7 year- old twins I could not ask for a more practicle vehicle. Im 200 mi. in on the 2006 and like the volume controls on the steering wheel and the addition of side curtain airbags.

  • Awesome Vehicle for the Price - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Absolutely love my new CR-V EX 4WD Automatic. Great value for the price. I have been using many excuses and made up tasks just to stay on road all the time driving my CR-V. It is fun to drive. I test drove CR-V and Rav4 V6 and decided to go with CR-V for its price, performance, looks.

  • A superior compromise - 2006 Honda CR-V
    By -

    After exhaustive research, there really wasnt much choice. We wanted better gas mileage than our old MPV minivan, good reliability, maximum safety (teen drivers coming soon), 4WD to get up to the ski area, and cargo area that was at least near the ballpark of the MPV. So far, its been been a great all-around vehicle and has lived up to our high expectations.
