The 2008 Honda CR-V has a polarizing outer style that gives reviewers pause—thankfully, the interior’s a lot less controversial. Completely redesigned for 2007, the new CR-V features lower (by 1.3 inches) step-in height and is actually shorter overall than the '06 model it...

Other Choices:

The 2008 Honda CR-V and most of these other compact SUVs offer city-friendly maneuverability and carlike handling; the Subaru Forester stands out for having the firmest ride and sportiest handling in the group, while the RAV4's ride is plusher; it's also the only one in this crowd to offer an available third-row seat. Unlike several competitors to the Honda CR-V, including the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, the RAV4's steering wheel tilts and telescopes. If you want a manual transmission, you'll need to look to the Sportage, Tucson, or Forester. Of all these competitors, only the Subaru Forester meets the CR-V's stellar crash-test results, but the Forester does not come with as much standard safety equipment as the 2008 Honda CR-V.

  1. IN LOVE WITH MY CR-V

    By Kadi | Posted: Sep 9th 2008, 02:52:30 AM

    Regardless of what this reviewer may think I get a ton of complements on my 08 cr-v,it rides better than my aunts 07 Rav -4 with better pick up & less wind noise not to mention the seats are just more inviting & comfortable. I chose the cr-v over the rav because the NAVI was not available;e on the rav, but also because of the better gas milage. it was a wonderful choice. THANKS HONDA!
