That's interesting.....the current brochures and specs for the 2008 CRV line states that all of them come with the under-seat bin except for the NAVI equipped EX-L models. I can see where the regular EX-L wouldn't as they give you a subwoffer as standard equipment. Also, the 2008 EX-L's now have a power driver seat as standard so I guess they couldn't put the subwoffer under there either. I think Honda needs to update its info if this is correct and state that the EX-L line doesn't not have the under seat bin. It actually comes in handy. My wife has one in her '99 Odyssey and we put all kinds of stuff in there. And, yes, the one in the Odyssey is hard tom open too!

#19 of 29 Add ons from Honda dealership pushed on customers by newlife0226

I bought a 2008 EX4WD Honda CR-V for 25,336 OTD includes tax, doc fee, DMV fees, sticker. salesman was personable, courteous and professions. The Financial officer pushed on add ons and being naive and new to this type of experience I fell for it. Has anyone experienced this? Lesson learned, go in with your own financing if you can and skip all that DRAMA. of course, if you are all up for the add ons then go for it. They pushed for lojack, simoniz, extended warranty, venture shield and tire protection. I held firm on most but did fall for the venture shield and simoniz only to discover that they were high priced and really not needed.
 
Also, did I pay a good price?

Since sales taxes vary widely from state to state and different dealers have different doc fees, you need to break out the cost of the car pre-taxes, fees, etc. for a comparison to make sense.
 
Yep, that "finance" officer is really the sales guy charged with the task of padding their profit with a host of uneeded add-ons.
 
But, you got a great car that'll give you much pleasure for years. Don't sweat the dealer experience. Enjoy!

According to the 2009 CRV brochure, there's supposed to be an "under-seat storage bin" in the LX /EX/EX-L models. I've got the LX. What am I supposed to be looking for? I haven't found anything under the seat. Is this a misprint?
Help me out...Thanks!

The copy of the 2009 brochure I have only shows the underseat storage bins for the LX and EX models. The EX-L as noted in the prevous replys, uses the space under the passenger seat for the subwoofer and/or navigation electronics.
 
The storage bin is only under the passenger seat and may be a little tricky to open. Good place to put maps, guidebooks and such.

Thanks sooo very much! I just found that storage bin! And, yes, it's probably good for lightweight stuff like maps.

What do you mean found it? Was it laying on the side of the road?
 
Or did you mean you did not know about it? Didn't you read about it in the OWNER's MANUAL?

Didn't you read the poster's PREVIOUS MESSAGES where it's all spelled out?
