Living Naturally: The 2006 Honda CR-V

With a complete new re-design only a few months away, the 2006 Honda CR-V is about to be vastly improved. The new model is scheduled for arrival in December and should follow design cues from the more vibrant Acura RDX. As such, the current CR-V provides excellent maneuverability, solid build quality, and a superior interior to the Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV4, and the Jeep Liberty. The downside to the CR-V is the road noise and the so-so gas mileage of 23 mpg, but overall the 2006 CR-V excels in a field of mini-SUVs. It's well suited for the outdoorsy types who crave a more compact SUV encompassing a witty design, a reasonable cost (MSRP $20,395 - $25,450), and a reliable reputation to drive in mountain terrain.

The secret of success for the 2006 Honda CR-V is the superior handling. It shares the same chassis as the new Honda Civic. It also shares the same double-wishbone, four-wheel independent suspension, with front and rear stabilizers that give it a softer, more car like ride. You can feel the difference of the 2006 CR-V to conventional truck based SUV's when you round a corner. The 2006 CR-V is considerably less squishy. Press on the accelerator and the peppy 2.4-liter, iVTEC engine, quickly accelerates pumping out 156 horsepower (at 160 pound-feet of torque) with a potent kick at 3,500 rpm - when the butterfly valves open up, making the CR-V an immensely fun and sporty vehicle to drive.

Honda CRV Reviews - Long Term Evaluation

Honda owners are loyal, as this Honda CRV Review will show. There's good reason for this, as expert engineering has teamed with modern technology to make a truly rewarding ownership experience. Our CRV is a 2007 model and was purchased new at a New York dealership. Over the last forty five thousand miles, we've come to love the vehicle enough to recommend it with this Honda CRV Review.

Our CRV is a four wheel drive model and it's honestly the best winter vehicle I've owned, which is saying quite a bit considering that I've had two Subarus in the past. Our neighbor has a front wheel drive model and it does pretty well in the snow unless it gets over six inches. My recommendation is to opt for the four wheel drive model at least for the fact that it will increase resale value down the road.

The New High-Tech Honda Accord with Euro Looks

Is it a BMW? Maybe the Audi A-4? Or the VW Passat? Le Peugeut? No! It's the new Honda Accord! Acc-ord! The name reminds me of French d'Accord! (Agree, OK in English).

And I agree. The new 8th generation Honda Accord looks sleek, dynamic, sporty and has a lower and a wider track for that solid, planted feel. Look at the new low slung, chromed angular grill, the new cool, clear projector type headlights and the muscular pronounced wheels arches housing the 17 inch alloy wheels.

The side view also reveals new higher waistline matching the perfectly raked roof line. The rear break light cluster is very BMW'ish. The new Honda Accord takes on asharp European design. Perhaps, the best looking Honda ever.
