  Worst vehicle ever owned - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By nashcbr929 - June 28 - 9:49 am

  I hate this car, I traded my f-150 supercrew 5.4 for this CR-V because my wife wanted something smaller w/better gas mileage. My truck got 13.5 everywhere, and this CR-V gets about 14 in town, and I completely baby this thing. I keep it under 2000 rpms everywhere in town and still get 14 mpg. It doesnt lock the doors automatically in drive, no auto headlights, terrible ergonomics in the seats and driving position. The only thing positive I have to say about it is that it has light steering and handles decent.

  Best All Around SUV - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By JBrown - June 24 - 5:30 pm

  Nice sized interior for a small SUV. Theres plenty of headroom to spare for an averaged sized 6 guy even with the moonroof. Lots of cargo carrying capacity. Car like handling. Good power from the small quiet and smooth running engine. Smooth shifting transmission thats idealy suited to the engine and vehicle. Good fuel economy thats equal to or better than most small cars. I replaced my 99 CRV with this one and I plan to keep it for a long time.

  The seats are stiff and uncomfortable - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Sus - June 15 - 12:21 am

  I traded down from a Honda Pilot with leather seats. I rode in the back seat of the CRV for the first time after owning the car for 8 months. Not enough leg room, horrible head rests, stiff seats- we cancelled our vacation plans.

  My CRV - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By paul - June 1 - 12:44 am

  Bought it new as I wanted a fuel efficient small SUV and I believe Honda makes the best. Believe or not I actually used the hidden picnic table for some work I had to do on a leaf blower. It is extremely quick off the line, handles ok, but will get new sticky wider tires to help that. The sunroof rocks, the cd changer is great, and sound is fine but not as good as the Element. 21-22 mpg in town. On a trip, 26-28.

  I love my Honda - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Robin - May 1 - 9:40 am

  Handles great, went through snow with ease. Ive only owned my Honda for a month but it is pretty much everything I expected. I already knew that one of the cons is that you can hear road noise quite a bit through the doors. One disappoint is that it hasnt lived up to the gas mileage claim. I got 24 mpg hwy and only 20 mpg hwy/city. Im going to change gas grades and see if that makes a difference. If they want to improve this great little SUV they could add headlights that turn off and automatically. Overall I am very pleased with my Honda CRV.

  Great little SUV - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By warner - April 12 - 6:42 pm

  Overall, I love this SUV. I was worried going from a V6 to a 4 cylinder, but Im actually surprised at the pick-up this car has. The AWD has been a huge help in the snow and dirt even though it isnt a true 4x4. It is comfortable and has plenty of space and I like the interior layout. I have had a problem with the glove box not completely closing and was told by honda that it is a frequent problem and that they just replace it. It also makes a clanking sound when you first start to drive, but I was told by Honda that it was the rear ABS activating. It worried me at first, but I guess its ok.

  All But The Mileage - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Paul - April 1 - 12:44 pm

  I have owned four Hondas, all have been great reliable cars. In this new addition, the gas mileage is a crime. There should be a law to prevent misrepresenting gas mileage this much. This 4 cyl CRV is getting about the same mileage my 4X4 Toyota Tundra Pickup go when it was new. 17 MPG driving the same roads.

  30+ yrs of Driving Hondas - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By ML Sylvester - March 9 - 5:38 pm

  Ive been driving Hondas since 1977 (accord, civics, hybrid and acura) and this is my 6th. I really enjoy my 06 CRV/SE. It handles well and is the perfect size for me. I traded in my Civic Hybrid because I wanted more room for camping, etc. The Hybrid got about 42+ mpg so its a bit tough getting used to the new 22 mpg at 30%/70% city/hwy driving in the CR-V. I havent decided which model Im getting for my 7th.

  2006 Best Choice - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Mike - March 7 - 8:48 am

  Decided on the 2006 due to the 2007s lack of a manual trans. The CR-V has done everything Ive asked of it. Trips to the hardware store, plowing through snow storms, hauling people and gear with ease, its just about the perfect vehicle. Fuel economy hovers in the upper 20s in the summer, low 20s in the winter. Recommend the CR-V to anyone who asks.
