  Fun for the Price - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By curtis - August 16 - 11:35 am

  Great Car, should last beyond the payments. Front seats are weird, but not too tough, we love it and have seen many on the roads in Florida... Center Console is different, but were ok with it... Great Job Honda.

  Just purchased our 2nd 2009 CR-V LX AWD - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By Lebogal - August 14 - 11:02 pm

  We purchased a CR-V LX AWD in January and have been so pleased with it that we just purchased an additional one today. Price was right - $21,100 for an LX AWD plus tax and title. We have about 4,000 miles on our other CR-V and still have 60% of our oil life remaining. The CR-V was easy to drive in the winter and we didnt have any trouble with driving in the snow.

  As advertised - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By hack - August 11 - 10:35 am

  We recently drove from Minnesota to Maine via Canada, down the East Coast and back to the Midwest with our two kids. Most of what you hear about the CRV is true. There is pronounced road noise on rough pavement, though smooth pavement is fine. The engine has pep in city driving, but acceleration can be sluggish and the engine can feel over-matched on highway merging and some hills - passing is fine. The suspension and seats are a bit stiff, the low-beam lights are poor, but the drivers view, cabin lay-out, and the responsiveness of the steering are excellent. Easily fit a months worth of gear. Biggest surprise? Very good mileage 28 - 32 at 70+ on the highway. Not a luxury vehicle.

  Fun to drive - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By penny - August 7 - 3:37 pm

  I never knew what they mean by fun to drive until I drove my new 2009 CRV EX AWD in Green Tea! I also own a Civic, while a great car with great mileage, its getting to be too small to be convenient for my family and my dog. Being the first SUV, I was afraid it might be too big to get use to if I switch, but I was surprised to find that CRV drives not much different than my Civic, except much roomier, plenty of space for your legs, head, arms and stuff! Front console is great with useful displays, and the design is very sharp and attractive. Now I look forward drive/riding in my new CRV in the morning to work. Oh I am still trying to improve the mileage by using cruise control. Its decent.

  Nice vehicle but too much road noise - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By Richard - August 6 - 5:13 pm

  Bought this vehicle on June 30,09. Handles very nicely and the leather seats are quite comfortable. Cant give you city mpg because we live in the country but drove from Illinois to Ohio and got 29.8 mpg doing 65-75mph. Im 61" and there is plenty of headroom. At highway speed over certain types of pavement the road noise into the CRV is VERY loud, especially grooved pavement that is on most overpasses. Also, the smallest of cracks in the pavement are felt when driving over them.

  love and hate of my new CRV - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By David - August 6 - 12:07 am

  Just bought my 2009 Honda CRV LX 2X and got very annoyed by the drivers seat head support. It is absolutely unacceptable design. Only one hour drive already made my neck uncomfortable.It is like a bullet sitting against the back of your head! forcing your head to bent.The engine is very smooth in local but luggish and noisy on uphills.Accept these two, everything else is almost perfect.But these will cause me to sell it right away.especially the seat.The power is known to be not very good on uphills.But the front seats are not acceptable.pay good attention to it before you buy it. I regret not going to test drive the RAV4.

  Love my CRV-EXL! - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By Carmen - August 4 - 5:26 am

  Ive had SUVS now for 20 yrs and last year, because of the gas spike, I traded for a Honda Accord...Beautiful car, but was not good in the snow...I kept checking out the Honda CRVs and finally traded last week...This car is ME! Love it even more than my Toyota Highlander, which was a 6 cylinder engine...I was apprehensive at first, because it was a 4cyl, but I see very little difference between the Highlander and my CRV...This car is a keeper, especially with the long New England winters...I really feel safe too, which was one of the determining factors, other than 4 wheel drive...Ok, maybe a nicer rearview mirror and a pop up trunk switch, a bigger fuel tank, but Im not complaining!

  What a great car - 2009 Honda CR-V
  By Jim Merritt - August 3 - 2:45 pm

  We love this car. It drives like a dream. The CR-V is comfortable for passengers and drivers alike. It is quiet on the road. The sound system is superb as is the navigation system. On a recent trip it took us within ten yards of our destination! The size is just right for those that do not need a 5+ passenger capacity. Our grandsons think it is cool.

  By Lucky - August 1 - 10:37 pm

  Ive had it a month now and love it. Dont notice road noise others have mentioned. I have the AWD with the Bridgestone tires. Been getting 21-22 mpg combined driving and around 28 mpg on all highway. Im 6ft.2in. and have plenty of room. There is plenty of power for me. Its a very nice ride on the highway.
