After driving the Honda CR-V, it was easy for me to understand why Honda sales are doing so well.

One has to be careful when describing the Honda CR-V. Words like style, good looks, and quality are fine for almost any old car, but with Honda, only such expressions as sculpting, sultry shape, aerodynamics, meticulous attention, and captivating detail can do any kind of job describing an absolutely stunning vehicle.

One look and you become an instant expert in good taste.  It won’t matter whether you are pulling through your favorite drive-through restaurant or just taking your place for the valet to collect your Honda, you, and everyone else watching, will know that IMPRESSION has become your key word.

Honda CR-V has a 166 hp 2.4 Liter DOHC 16-Valve I-VTEC 4-Cylinder Engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. This gets you 10.2 L/100 km in the city and 7.3 L/100 km on the road. Aluminum-Alloy and 161lb torque with 4200 rpm gives you the punch to accelerate quickly letting the power from the engine wash you in a cascade of adrenaline.

The CR-V is compact, but never at the expense of luxury, quality, or roominess. The Honda Satellite-Linked navigation system, with a database of maps and over seven million points of interest, complements the satellite sound and the audio system that offers an auxiliary input jack. Add the rearview camera that is activated when in reverse, and you are set to go.
