Honda CR-V ex 2.2 diesel 2007
Well it’s been a few momths now from my last review of this grest SUV. I can still say everything is fine with 95,000 miles on the clock. It tows my caravan very well. I do agree that the plastics in the cabin can be easely marked, but with care they should be fine. It delivers good mpg around 35-42. Yes, it’s not perfect, but what car is, but for a SUV it’s hard to find better in terms of reliability, build and comfort. I can recommend the CR-V as a great bit of auto engineering. Like I said before, it’s a Honda.

Honda CR-V CDTi 2.2 ES 2007
I’m just coming up to 50,000 miles and the only non-routine maintenance has been an oil change on the rear diff due to juddering when reversing on full lock; this was done free by the local dealer, but note some dealers want to charge for this warranty work. The car has been extremely reliable and is economical for such a big bus, achieving over 40 mpg easily. The snow and ice over the last two winters never fazed the car; 4WD just cut in when needed. Niggles with this car are few and are minor: The clutch has started squeaking intermittently, some interior plastics can scratch easily, the centre arm rests are uncomfortable, but can be folded out of the way and you can get wind noise from front windows when there is a stong cross wind. The front windscreen glass is soft and scratches easily, mine has actually chipped, but this is a problem not just restricted to Hondas. Overall, this is a great car with decent performance. Based on my experience I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this car.

Honda CR-V 2.0 Executive 2007
I drove 3.5 years about 75.000 km.s. Very well built car. Lots of space, good vision, very comfortable and secure. The consumption is normal (not more than some of the other sedan cars). The performance is worse when compared to 2.2 litre diesel but satisfactory if you are not a fan of sport driving. Road noise can be heard but it is not very disturbing. The inside mirror helps a lot to follow the children at the rear seats. As a result, we were very happy with our car and decided to buy another CR-V. Only difference is the color!

Honda CR-V 2.0 EX 2007
Owned 3 CRVs, and this was the first of a ’new’ shape. Plenty of space, good on fuel, but hated the ride. Honda had tried to make CRV handle more like a car than previous model and lowered ride height and stiffened springs, completely ruined ride quality so bad that I sold the car after 7 months.

Honda CR-V ES 2007
Bought my car new (57 plate), it has now done 30000 miles on the same set of tyres which have 4mm left on them. I get 40mpg driving 7 miles to work and back, and 44 mpg on an uninterrupted motorway run. Towing my 1300kg caravan, it returns 30 mpg at 50mph and 28 mpg at 60mph. It is comfortable, good to drive and has only been back to the garage for a service. I have considered exchanging it for the new one but as there is nothing wrong with it, my wife thinks it would be a waste of money and I think that she is right. Next year perhaps!

Honda CR-V 2007
This car was second hand when we got it 12 months old and only 12000 miles on the clock. It drove fine and the all-round visibility was good. The diesel engine is a lot better than the petrol. Legroom front and back is great even with the front seats pushed all the way back. I have removed the parcel shelf and the plastic is of poor quality. Mine is red and we had great difficulty getting hold of paint that matched. Tyre wear is my biggest gripe I have now done 22400 miles and will be looking for new tyres all-round FRONT WHEEL TRACKING MUST BE CHECKED EVERY 6 MONTHS AND TYRE PRESURE EVERY WEEK. Would still recommend this car to anyone. Dealer servicing is too expensive and I change air oil and fuel filter every 6000 miles or 6 months and use top grade oil, this I can do for under £100 over £200 cheaper than a dealer. Great car and good mpg for a 4x4.

Honda CR-V 2.2 iCTDi 140 EX CMBS 2007
This is a car that’s very hard to fault, Yes the Tiguan, Kuga etc., is better looking and the Freelander wins off road but for everyday use ( Shopping, School run, Family days out etc...) the crv makes the most sense!! Its got the huge and practical cabin to hold all your parifinalia and has got the power to a our huge caravan no matter how big the hills are. Its also got the most room inside for all of these small urban SUVs and it has all the others trumped for build quality and reliability because its a HONDA!! I looked at all the sensible alternatives and the Jeep car that came close was the Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDI GT. Only reason I didnt buy the 4007 was because you cannot fault a Honda for reliability. The 4007 was really quick (0-60Mph, 9.7 Seconds) and felt more refined/ car like to drive but you cannot beat A Honda!

Honda CR-V CTDi 2.2 2007
Now 11 months old with 80000mls on the clock. No complaints at all except perhaps the position of the odd control button or two. One observation however... The engine is very sensitive to different makes of diesel. This sounds odd, but through experience I have found that certain makes of fuel can lower mpg by up to 20%. Engine noise also varies according to fuel, especially at low revs. I have spoken to other CR-V owners, and they agree with my observations... So shop around and see which compromise you prefer. My car is returning an average over 11 months of 43 mpg... not bad for mostly short trips in city. I would recommend the CR-V without reservation.

Honda CR-V CRV ES Auto 2007
I’ve had this car for nearly 2 years and overall it has been a happy experience. The handling on this vehicle is excellent, much more car like than most 4x4’s. I read a comment about the performance from the petrol/auto combination and can only conclude that the author must have been carrying lead bars as it is more than adequate for all situations. My previous cars include a Volvo V70 R and a BMW 750i and whilst it clearly doesn’t match these 2 it has never been found wanting. My only criticism is that the interior plastics could be of a higher standard, they are relatively hard and cheap to the touch.

Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC ES 2007
Best SUV on the market. I’d have to say that the CR-V really belongs on-road. Everything about the CR-V is well laid out and I really like this as I’d class myself as a neat and orderly and it makes me feel really comfortable and at ease when driving. Honda have made a really safe and handsome car that is reasonably priced.
