I bought the basic CRV. My husband and I just put >1000 miles in less than 3 days: 6 hours on day 1; 3hours on day 2; and 9 hours on day 3. The car handled beautifully: acceleration was not problem; cruise control at >75mph was no problem. Travelling over mountain passes, hanging onto curves, twists & turns was amazing -- a dream come true. The problem is the seats are incredibly uncomfortable! Not the back, not the head rest; the seat itself -- it was/is worse than riding on a motorcycle all day. Has anyone else experienced this? The dealer said this is the first they have ever heard of it. We are thinking it is a fundamental design flaw. Everything is wonderful. Neither my husband nor I experienced any difficulty until we were 3 1/2 hours into our trip.

Follow the link and correct me if I am wrong but the same CR-V gets an average of 34.5MPG combined City & Highway in England! I guess thats because the steering wheel is on the Right hand side! In fact all of the same cars, trucks, and SUV's you buy in the US have almost the same counterpart in the EU and get substantially better fuel economy. I always thought it was all rigged! I wish my CR-V averaged 34.5 combined MPG's! http://www.carpages.co.uk/guide/honda/honda-cr-v-2.0i-vtec-ex.asp

Replying to: crvexl2008 (Sep 15, 2008 8:16 pm)  It's funny that the Imperial gallon is no longer legal to use in the UK for trade purposes, but they can use it for advertising mpg figures. |

Replying to: crvexl2008 (Sep 15, 2008 8:16 pm) Lets see. IIRC the English model uses the 2.0 liter engine. Also, that is IMPERIAL gallons, which are larger than US Gallons.

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 15, 2008 8:34 pm) To convert from miles per imperial gallon to miles per U.S. gallon multiply by 1/1.2 = 5/6 so 34.5 miles per imperial gallon translates to 28.75 miles per U.S. gallon. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |
