No, I don't know what CR-V stands for either.

Advantages: Spacious, economical to run with good handling. A fun ride.
Disadvantages: See text of opinion.

...interesting. We tried harnessing them, but getting two dogs who don’t want to be harnessed into the car in a public place isn’t easy. I then read about someone who’d been killed whilst driving a car when the person behind her was catapulted into her neck when she braked suddenly. As the car was due for a change we decided to look at either an estate car, or a sports utility vehicle, as I believe they’re called, so that we could fit a dog grid. We looked at the RAV4 first, but it didn’t handle well, and the dogs would have had to go on a diet to get in the back comfortably. The CR-V wouldn’t necessarily have been the next choice, but we spotted this one, aged six months, with automatic transmission which I need, and at a considerable discount. We drove it and liked it, and the dogs gave their consent, so...

I Love my CR-V

Advantages: Lovely drive,good alround view comfortable seat
Disadvantages: haven't found any yet

...This is the best car I have ever owned ,it's my dream car. We were on the look out for a good family car.A few times before we bought our honda CR-V my other half would go and look around the forcourt of the Honda Garage which is 2 mins away in the car from our house and admire them. I couldn't see what he saw which was a good classy family car with a good boot space etc. We talked about what we would both like .He liked The CR-V and I wanted the Jazz.We couldn't make our minds up so the only thing left was to go for a test drive in both. I drove the jazz first but not as first thought seats gave me back ache and it was modern but very basic inside.Drove well maybe the sort of thing to get you from a to b like popping to the local shops ,so for short journeys.It didn't rock my boat at all. I then looked forward to what was...

Review of Honda CR-V

Honda CR-V Mk 1

Advantages: Comfortable and Spacious
Disadvantages: No exciting gadgets in the cockpit

...I have owned my CR-V for about 8 months, and have covered over 11k miles already. Its one of the older models, 1998 and is the base model. I bought it because it fits in well with my leisure activitys, camping, mountain biking and windsurfing, as well as owning a dog. This is my third Honda, and to be honest I would be retisent to buy any other brand of car in the future! The interior is comfortable, and functional, not packed with loads of gadgets but has got all of the things you need. Thi being the basic model, has got no A/C but has got an enormous sunroof, which is electric, and far more fun than A/C. 4 x Electric windows with one touch drop on the drivers door. Central locking but not remote on this model, but that suits me, as I can put the key in the pouch of my wetsuit with no worries! Comfortable hardwearing fabric seats offer...

Review of Honda CR-V

I love my CR-V

Advantages: Bigger than estate car, not a full blown 4x4 off-roader
Disadvantages: Fuel econoemy not good

...I won't go on about the technical stuff, as I'm sure you can get that from official sources but I will quickly tell you what I know about the car. It has a 2ltr engine, it's front wheel drive but somehow intelligently engages the rear wheels when front wheel slippage is detected. There are two models that I'm aware of LS and ES. The ES has better features as standard i.e. Alloy Wheels, Air-Con, sun roof, roof bars etc I've had my CR-V on a S plate for 3 years now, and I absolutely love it. I drives like a nippy run around, around town, but on the m-way it's as comfortable as a family saloon. The air-con is effective for such a large car. It's brilliant for those out doory types like myself, I've added a bike rack that attaches to the spare wheel, and just to impress my friends a picnic table makes up the boot floor, take this out to...

Review of Honda CR-V

Honda make a Jeep.

Advantages: Nice looking car with practical benefits
Disadvantages: Rear visibility

...I would not think of Honda when it comes to 4 X 4 jeep type off roaders. Landrover,Suzuki and Chrysler Jeep yes! it now seems every motor manufacturer wants to jump on the offroad bandwagon and build a 4 x 4. But the Honda CRV is a nice little car as well as an off roader. I compare it to the Rav 4 and BMW or Mercedes offering. Special edition models of popular cars usually add a number of extra equipment items for little extra cost and that's exactly what Honda offers with its HR-V 'Special Edition'. It comes in 2 flavours of Jeep. A 2 Wheel version and a 4WD version. The difference in Price is only £500 to. Exterior. --------- It looks like a high wheel base car with its 16-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, integrated roof rails and body coloured side sills. Add to this a solid Spare Wheel cover coloured to the car...

Review of Honda CR-V

A decade old but unlikely to be decayed

Advantages: A successful much loved vehicle
Disadvantages: New models cause eyes to wander off to showrooms

...Read any set of reviews and you'll find out the CR-V has a lot of friends - do the same for the Freelander and you find it has very few friends. The contrast between these two British built vehicles of similar vintage and some common parts could not be more stark. So I'm writing this without all the technical guff which others have already covered. It's written for the people out there thinking of getting a CR-V because the sad truth for owners is that some of them are now getting extremely cheap - £1500 - £2000. Even the 2001 second version with a revised look is down to £5000-£6000. Both versions of the CR-V are extremely well put together and it doesn't seem to have any of those incipient, commonly recurring faults that so plague other 4x4's. The early ones, 1996 - 2001 divide themselves into two main versions - the LS and ES...

Acer CR-8530 A beautiful little camera

Advantages: Lightweight good images
Disadvantages: None so far

...I I have not owned my Acer CR-8530 for long. A matter of a couple of days, in fact, but my initial impressions are very favourable. Despite being an 8 mega pixel digital camera, it is small and lightweight. I paid about £200 for the camera, but it was bought through a special deal to encourage workers to buy computer equipment for their home use, but to buy them through work, with the money taken out of your salary every month. We bought a new Acer laptop (review later!), Office XP, a memory stick and the camera. Despite being lightweight, the Acer CR-8530 has a very sturdy feel to it. Unlike some of the newer digital cameras, the Acer CR-8530 actually looks like a camera, meaning that it is relatively easy to hold and to use. Which is more than can be said for some of the new digital cameras, sad to say. It also uses a Lithium...

Sony VAIO CR21S/P Laptop

Advantages: Fast, looks good, comes in a variety of colours
Disadvantages: Expensive, mouse can sometimes play up

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought the laptop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had had so many problems from my previous laptop, although I had only had it for 2 years - but there were problems with it right from the beginning. It was really staring to be unreliable and crashing all the time, as well it being highly annoying, I couldn't afford to keep loosing my work all the time and I was just waiting for the day for it to finally completely pack up, so I decided to go on the internet and start looking around for a new laptop. Originally I was looking for the cheapest yet good one I could find. By chance I ended up on the Sony website and advertised on the home page was this Sony Vaio. I instantly fell in love with it, so decided to check it out. This Sony Vaio is part of the CR Series and there are 3 different laptops which come with 3...

Review of Sony VAIO CR Series VGN-CR21S/L

Honda 4x4

Advantages: Lots of space
Disadvantages: Would you use it to 4X4

...better if it was a split boot with one part moving up and the other part down. This car can be very expensive if you are buying new as all Hondas are but I would advise you to get an ex model car as these have been driven by a lot of people but have a lot of extra features and are usually priced well, and if you can haggle you will be able to get the price down a nice bit. This handles on the road; the speed really kicks in after 40, but no idea what it would handle like on a 4X4 track. Very good safety rating. Now for the specifics about the car, I have had to do some research into this as I feel if the car goes when I want it to go and stop when I want it to stop its good enough but here it goes. Fuel- Unleaded Miles per gallon- 31 6-disk CD change Price- customer paid £13000 but had some extras Model: Honda CR-V 2.0i ES...

Review of Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC

The 4x4 that handles like a saloon car

Advantages: Fuel economy, carrying capacity, comfort, ease of handling
Disadvantages: Too tight rear seat belts

...I bought my CR-V in a hurry: I had a Freelander that had just blown a head gasket for the second time in a year, and the Land Rover dealer who had sold it to me said I should get rid of it ASAP..... The version of the CR-V I got was an ex-demo Executive model, diesel, with dark rear windows, 4 months old with 5,000 miles on the clock. I was in love from about 5 minutes into the test drive. The seating positions were as near perfect as you can get when one of you is 5'3" and the other 5'11", which is quite an achievement. The ride is quite firm, which makes for great cornering stability, but the seats compensate to a great extent. My regular passengers include a very arthritic lady in her late 70s, and my parents who are both in their 90s. All find the ride excellent in the front, but a wee bit bouncy in the back. The side seat belts...
