2009 Honda CR V

The Honda CR-V is a roomy little soft-roader that is convenient and easy to drive on the streets, but no hero on the rough stuff. There are lots of features, and the cabin is fairly spacious. It rides as smoothly as a car, especially since it is based on the Civic. It offers the cargo versatility of a sport-utility vehicle, an upright seating position, and all-wheel drive. The styling was radically revised for 2007, with marketing folks referring to it as the "Aerosport" SUV. The CR-V comes with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine lifted from the Accord, with a five-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include air conditioning with micron filtration, AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 capability and optional 6-CD changer, an adjustable steering column, power mirrors, power windows, and power outlets, along with front airbags, integrated keyless entry and alloy wheels. Side airbags are optionally available, as are a moonroof, leather seats, adaptive headlights and other features.
