Anybody here got a CRV?

OK, my wife saw one today and wants one. Can anyone shed some light on its power, stlying, likes, dislikes, etc?

Obviously, we'll have to go drive one, but I'm curious to what others think.

Thanks.

My wife just bought her second CRV. Her 98 was a 5 speed LX and now she has a 02 SE automatic. We take it everywhere on the weekends. The SE with leather and an aftermarket sunroof is really a great small SUV. It's slightly underpowered and you notice it more with the automatic than the manual, but not enough to be real problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

if u like 4 cylinder power.... but for me.i will prefer V6 power on a 4X4..i will prefer jeep liberty as it might be my next vehicle...
u have all the power u have and 2WD and 4WD are switchable..unlike those AWD....such as Rav 4 and Crv about the same price lol......

Yeah, the whole 4-cylinder thing is kind of scary. But reading a couple of reviews on it, the CRV out runs similar min-SUVs with V6 engines.

I think I read somewhere it's at 8.4 second 0-60. It's no speed deamon, but that's rather respectable for a 4 banger...

You can make that CRV super fast with some aftermarket parts. The B20 is not to be messed with.

I've read some excellent reviews on the new CRV. If i recall, they feel that the biggest problem was it was underpowered, but now it's much better with the H.P. increase.
