The Bottom Line: You can't get more practical than this

Review: After years of driving used econoboxes and pickup trucks my wife and I had finally started our careers and were ready to buy something new.  We knew that we wanted a small SUV; something with room that got decent mileage.  We looked at the '07 ...

Pros: Reliability, handling, interior design and layout

Cons: Gas tank capacity, road noise

The Bottom Line: If you need a vehicle with a lot of utility, but don't want the high cost of running a V-6 or V-8 engine, this is the vehicle for you.

Review: This is my fourth Honda, and I have to say I like this one the best. We were looking for a second car, and we decided to get a small SUV so that we have two cars with different capabilities. It came down to the CR-V and the RAV4. Two factors led me ...

Pros: The combination of price, versatility, fuel economy, safety, attractiveness cannot be beat.

Cons: Some quirky controls as described below, no audio steering wheel controls.

The Bottom Line: If safety and price are primary concerns, you cannot find a more attractive vehicle.

Review: 6/8/07 Update: After owning this vehicle for over 1 year, I can testify that the value is truly evident in its versatility. Used mainly in city driving, we are getting about 20 mpg, not bad for an all wheel drive vehicle. Consider this vehicle for a ...

Pros: Utility, 4WD and 2WD option, great engine, good on gas

Cons: road noise at over 70 mph

The Bottom Line: You get the bang for your buck!

Review: I sold my 2003 Honda Civic LX to upgrade to the 2006 Honda CR-V because I needed more space for my new baby and I am glad that I did. This SUV is not BIG but has plenty of room. Second row seats folds down easily so I feel like I have a 4X4 truck at ...

Pros: Great MPG (24-30), Spacious for compact size, Very smooth, High quailty

Cons: Paint chips easily, Slight road noise

The Bottom Line: Buy this vehicle if you need a reliable, economical SUV!!

Review: I received my 2006 Honda CRV EX 4wd with the 5 speed automatic transmission for a graduation present from my mother. It was brand new when I received it, having less than 200 miles on it. I have since put about 12,000 miles on my CRV. Currently I average ...

Pros: You have to love AWD, ABS and the safety rating.

Cons: Road noise, fixed with undercoating

The Bottom Line: This is a awesome vehicle.

Review: I recently purchased a 2006 CRV SE. I did research on the CRV as well as the RAV4. The crash results and safety rating of the CRV as well as its looks sold me. Taking the vehicle for a test drive proved very interesting. The ABS brakes are impressive. No ...

Pros: Drives smooth and has had no mechanical problems.

Cons: No third row.

The Bottom Line: Great purchase for the price! Nice, smooth ride and roomy enough for a family of four.

Review: We have two children and really wanted an SUV/wagon for getting around with the kids, their car seats and all their stuff they take with them. We originally looked at the Pilot, which we loved. Yet, we were upside down in our Trailblazer that we owned ...

Pros: comfortable, AC cools immediately, decent gas mileage, great storage room, numerous cup holders, great pick-up

Cons: The look of the radio could be better, gear shaft position is awkward

The Bottom Line: Look no further than the 06 Honda CRV! I wish I would have gotten the 4WD! This car is great.

Review: I bought my 06 Honda CRV 2WD 4 months ago and this weekend was the first time I used the SUV for more than commuting. It was an awesome vehicle to have camping. There was more than enough room for our camping gear and we got to use the picnic table and ...

Pros: Fit and finish, quiet engine, excellent transmission.

Cons: Fuel economy isn't too bad, but not great (around 22-24 mpg)

The Bottom Line: I didn't think that I could fall in love with a crossover suv but this one proved me wrong.

Review: This is my girlfriend's car, she bought a new 2006 CRV EX last summer and I drive it whenever I can because I love it so much. Now I normally don't like to drive automatic transmission cars but this CRV has a very refined five speed automatic ...

Pros: Fuel efficient, sporty, roomy and fun

Cons: It's not free

Review: I love my CR-V! It handles great and the safety features are numerous. The gas mileage is awesome for a SUV. It so much fun to drive. I have 3 children and we enjoy traveling in such a comfortable vehicle. ...
