2009 Honda CR-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love the upgrades from my 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L. It’s got a power driver’s seat and front dual air conditioning, which was what I wanted. It looks brand new with only 73,000 miles on a 2009! I was also considering a Toyota RAV4 but it doesn’t have enough leg room in the passenger’s seat for my 6’2” husband to be comfortable. The dealer description named the incorrect exterior color. (No photos posted yet.) so I was a little disappointed when I arrived to test drive the car but the car drives great.Apr 20, 2023

Great car for everyone, from families with small kids or singles with lots of stuff! Handles like a car, reliable and has a great safey record. The back cargo area has a unique hard shelf that allows for groceries or other items that go in and out in the same day to be stored on top and blankets, beach chairs and other items which might stay in a car for an extended period of time.Aug 10, 2013

Nothing to dislike so far at all. The car has all the features I wanted, nice roof rack that fits very well and a ride that is surprisingly smooth. Excellent acceleration for a in line 4 cyclinder. The brakes are responsive but don't grab in hard stops and it is very nibble. Couldn't ask for better quality in workmanship. Everything fits well, tight and is well styled. Love this car so far.Aug 07, 2009

i have a 2009 EX and so far has been an excellant vehicle for the value, (mine was around $25,500.) my mileage has been about 20mpg but i live in town and haven't even taken it on a highway yet. has TONS of storage and can fit 3 26" suitcases,3 22" suitcases, plus carry ons with room to spare! i love the chrome accents on the interior and the aux. jack makes listening to my ipod through the stereo easy! (just had to get a $8.00 cord from radio shack.) i chose the black interior being a mom, no more grape juice stains for me to scrub out! i came from a V6 engine to this 4cyl. and i really thought it wasn't going to enough power for me, but thus far has been ok, with the minor exception it has a little engine noise when you start to accelerate. i test drove the Nissan Rogue before buying this car and felt like this had more power and was a lot wider, which was important to me because i wanted to downsize suv's but didn't want to feel like i was in a clown car! i would compare this to a Nissan Murano with a much smaller price tag and not quite as much engine. i also drove Honda pilots as LX pilots had a great lease deal,and fell in LOVE but found it was larger than i was looking for and didn't have as many options. the CR-V in my opinion was the perfect choice because inside and out is kind of like a scaled down pilot!Apr 09, 2009

Looks like a hearse. Very ugly. Handles like a boat. I have now driven a friends larger Acadia with has much better handling and performance. It also gets the same fuel economy, looks better outside and inside, has more room, and has a 3.6L DOHC and 6 speed auto which outperforms this Honda piecer in spades. This vehicle is an ugly deathmobile (hearse), gets poor fuel economy, and has bad performance. I cannot think of any pros.Feb 15, 2009
