Honda CR-V (2007 - 2011) 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

I bought this car new in 2007 because I started a new job that was a little distance away, I have been driving it for almost 14 years now without any problems. I am now retired and I am happy that this car is easy to get into and also has enough space in the back for my wheel chair. The car is spacious and easy to drive. I plan on keeping it for many years to come.Jul 19, 2021

One fantastic little SUV/Crossover. No wonder they're number one in sales of small SUV's. Bought this car new in 2008. Has 42,000 miles now, and not a squeak or rattle anywhere. It's the top of the line model (EX-L Navi) with black leather seats, Navigation, Silver Exterior, Weather Tech mats, 3M Clear Bra on front and leading edges, new tires, new battery, trailer hitch (class I), HID Headlights, Factory Honda Fog Lights, Magnaflow Exhaust, Honda Running Boards and Splash Guards, Privacy Glass in all rear windows, 50% Tint in front door windows, Monochromatic Rear View Mirror with Compass, Honda Rear Hatch Spoiler, K&N 1 Million Mile Air Filter, and Runs with Mobil 1 Oil.Jun 13, 2013

Several things missing from the EX-L level that should be part of that level; 1. Autodimming Rear View Mirror 2. Projector Headlamps with HID 3. LED Taillights Engine chould use better torque and power. Engine very anemic. Could be quieter inside. A bit of engine noise creeps in and is annoying. It rides nice and handles fine for its group. Don't expect this to ride like a Honda Accord. This is more of a sporty suspension. UPDATE: After 1.5 years of ownership this is my latest review of my 2010 CR-V: Including everything I included above I have discovered the following: The bluetooth system in this car is at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to human interface. The system doesn't relay any information while using it. Nothing is displayed on the large screen except that bluetooth is in use. It is all voice controlled and it too is less than stella. Don't get me wrong, it works sometimes and gets it right when using voice identification to call someone. It gets the wrong number or nothing at all many times. It is a very frustrating system. When it does work it is OK. My wife's 2011 Hyundai Elantra has bluetooth and it is far superior to the Honda's. The Elantra has a nice size screen with full bluetooth functionality including a keypad to dial with if needed. The display gives you all the info about what is going on with the sytem. It is an awesome system. Honda should learn from Hyundai. Conclusion: The CR-V is a very nice, reliable vehicle but its' technology is a bit antiquated. It could use a real update. Hopefully the 2012 model will get there.Feb 18, 2010

The 2010 Honda CR-V EX 4WD is a great choice for someone who likes an affordable vehicle with style, comfort and fuel economy. The seats are extremely comfortable there is so much leg room both front and back. The cargo area is surprising large for the size of the car. After reading the reviews, we were a little concerned that the 4 cylinder engine would be under powered, but we find it has plenty of power and we live in an area with steep hills to drive up and down. We are very pleased with our purchase and look forward to many years of fun driving in our new CR-V. Nov 06, 2009

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

Like all bells and whistles: Nav, backup camera, XM-satellite radio, PCMCIA card slot, cd changer, moonroof, leather, aux output, maneuverability, heated seats, trip computer, etc... really a lot to like about it. Sport and fun ride feeling. Dislike: sluggish acceleration (it's a 4-beater after all), although (!) fuel economy is far below from what I was expecting from Honda - this is my second Honda vehicle. I previously owned 03 Accord EX which was also 4-cyl. engine but much better gas saver! Aug 04, 2008

The performance is amazing considering a 4 cylinder SUV, it accelerates quickly and the handling is amazing. The build quality is top notch, from the paint finish to the sturdieness of the doors. There are no squeaks or rattles of any sort. The appearence is top notch, looking very classy on the outside and inside. The cost of ownership is very little as the gas mileage is high for a 4 wheel drive and it is a Honda so it has very little maintenence needs. It is a very fun car to drive and I love my car.Aug 01, 2008
