we love our '07 CRV. however, that being said, here's my list of dislikes: 1) wind buffeting with one rear window down...it makes a woof! woof! woof! sound. 2) the CD/MP3 player is really slow to read/recognize CDs and start playing music. you also can't tell from the display which of the six discs is currently playing. 3) the heated seat on the front passenger side only warms the bottom cushion, not the back also like it does on the driver's seat! 4) the vanity mirrors are not lit 5) awkward location of coin tray (left side toward the bottom of the dash) lzc, yes, the floormats that come with the CRV are cheap but at least they were included no charge. even though our has the ivory interior, we got the black all weather mats and they work and look great.

Replying to: snoopy21 (Aug 13, 2007 4:06 pm) But I guess if what bothers a car owner are things like unlit vanity mirrors (are they ever used?!), a seat that only warms one's buns, and an awkward coin tray location, although that's getting close to serious, the CR-V stands pretty tall.  Yeah, black mats, once unthinkable, might have been the better choice. But I think my tan ones are looking blacker with every day. No, the CR-V ain't perfect, but then it isn't priced to perfection. The tires are OK, not great but OK, and of course options choices on all Japanese nameplate cars are at times frustrating. I wanted a leather no sunroof model. Too bad. I now have have an unused sunroof. Still, a great car. |

Front end (grill). The hatch is a pain to open sometimes. I wish the EX-L came with wider wheels and better tires. It gets 25-26 MPG in normal driving, and I love it. It fits me and my needs |

| Sure could use a power driver's seat. At least as an option. | |
| Can't see out the rear side window. No stick shift. Ugly styling. | |

I left the rear hatch dome light on by accident for five days which of course ran the battery completely dead........the problem being.........you can't open the rear hatch easily without climbing into the back and manually opening the hatch. Thus, my jumper cables (kept near the spare tire under the cargo cover) were virtually impossible to retrieve easily. What should have been a short five to ten minute battery jump was quite the ordeal. Dennis

MY DISLIKES 1. Though very peppy and I have not encountered a problem with passing or merging thus far, not as powerful as I would like (v6 option would have been ideal, just my preference) 2. Lack of bluetooth 3. Lack of power driver seat and adjustable lumbar support (the seats are not uncomfortable, but I would like to adjust) 4. Vanity mirrors not lit (can be buggy when the passengers switch the lights to see themselves in the vanity) 5. Road and wind noise at higher speeds (above 75 mph) 6. Lack of bass in the sound system (EX) Overall, its not a bad choice at all, considering the build quality (I was looking at a 2007 Camry v6-lots of uneven spacing!!). Hope this car lasts for 250K miles. Good luck with your search! P.S: the boom boom boom effect when one window is lowered is common in most cars. Its called a Helmholtz effect and can be alleviated by lowering another window a little bit on the same side. |

Dennis I don't have the new CR-V, is the rear gate and hatch fully electric or is there a manual override from the outside, like with a key?
