Thinking of buying CR-V. give me your opinion

[Icepond130]

I live in upstate NY, where it snows... I am trying to get rid of my civic si and integra r and looking to get a crv. I have heard mixed things, people like them but feel like they are tipsy in turns.

anyone have suggestions?

I had a 2004... Loved it... or was it a 2003? I'm getting old... LOL Either way, I loved it. I had an EX 4WD.

I've never felt tipsy in the turns. Then again, I never tried to cut a 90 degree turn around the corner at 60 MPH. To me, it drives more like a car than a truck/SUV.

Thanks for the info. My boyfriends mom said she felt tipsy in it and thats the first time I have heard that so I was just curious.
I was looking at them a few months ago and then chickened out. Now the same thing that was going for 11k is going for 15.

Wow, really? I would think any SUV type vehicle would be very reasonably priced at this time. Although, with the current drop in fuel prices, maybe there is a slight boost in sales driving up the prices.

I dont know the dealership I used to sell for (american cars YUCK) has some CHEAP cheap stuff but all the honda acura dealerships around me are ridiculous.

I paid 22,300 for my civic si last year. I was on a wait list, finally got my car. Now I want an SUV and trade in is 16-17,300. WTF

When they are selling the new Si's for 23,4 where I am... hows this make sense?!

I think you should save up and get an Acura RDX!!!! The best small suv ever...I mean where can you find a suv for $37,000 that will do the quater mile in 15.2 seconds.... not to mention all the techy shit inside along with the badass stereo!!!!


OH the shAWD is awesome!

my sister has an 08 CRV. great SUV. i drove it up to milwaukee. i couldnt take my attention away from the MPG calculator. i was striving to get the best MPG i could

I own a 04 CRV and I'm not that happy with it. It's tipsy when it gets windy on the highway and the mpg isn't that great. My folks have a rav4 that gets better mpg and has more power for passing on the highway. Maybe the new crv are much better but I don't know.

Well, I have an 08 CRV EX-L. I love it. I would say any SUV would feel tippsy when you compare it to a Civic Si. But I am very happy with my CRV. I get about 28MPG at 69MPH. I also like the looks and feel. The inside is very nice and the EX-L model has Leather, heated seats, dual HVAC zones up front and alot of other stuff I forget about.

Look on some of the car forums, they look great with some rims too.
