You are in the Honda CR-V Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Thanks for your responses. I appreciate your information especially in that it is "real world" experience. One last question: why does Honda have a soft sided cover for the spare unlike the RAV4's hard cover. Does it really save that much money? Thanks again.

Just b/c an auto is in it, does not mean it isn't a performance car. If any of these SUVs are credited as a performance car, I will eat my hat, anyways. |

Replying to: little3 (Feb 13, 2006 8:21 am) Regularly. In fact, the Subaru, RAV4 and CR-V were so close in the test drive that the flip up window, ample ground clearance and easily accessible tie downs underneath were features that persuaded me the Honda would be easiest to live with. My kayak easily fits inside the CR-V with a couple feet sticking out the rear window. No need to wrestle it up on the roof at the end of a day's paddling. Also, I thought the CR-V had less road rumble than the RAV4, not that I'd describe either vehicle as quiet. But the good news for buyers is that it's hard to make a truly bad choice in this class of vehicle. |

Replying to: musictaps (Feb 07, 2006 2:06 am) Ah! I love it when someone selectively uses statistics to prove a point. In fact, the Forester performed the best "overall" in the IIHS's tests. Yes there were a couple of specific areas where it only received an acceptable rating but compare that to the "overall" POOR rating that the CRV received for rear impact protection: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/summary.aspx?class=58 However, if safety is truly an overriding concern, I'd go with a full-size sedan or a minivan  -Frank |
