2008 Honda CR-V LX-1 Navi review from North America
"Another great Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car and I don't expect anything to go wrong with it. I have owned three Honda's before that were excellent cars, but stupidly purchased a Mercedes (what a dog). I traded it for my CR-V.
General comments?
I looked at a Toyota RAV-4 6 cyl. but Toyota has become arrogant and has refused to change the hinged side of the rear door and has a cheesy looking radio antenna among other things. Honda does not make a CR-V 6 cyl. but after test driving the CR-V 4 cyl. I was sold on it.
Plenty of power unless you plan on towing a mid or large camper.
As with all Honda's the seating is more than ample and comfortable. I elected to get the power drivers side seat which is heated. I am 6'3" and weigh 280 and have plenty of leg/hip/shoulder room.
If you intend to do minor engine repairs, etc. yourself after the warranty expires you will love the roominess of the engine compartment.
