Kelley Blue Book does a very thorough review in the video above of the 2008 Honda CR-V, but since I’ve owned one for a short time myself, I’d like to add my opinion on the CR-V I bought from a Dallas Honda dealer.
What drew me to the CR-V when I went to my Dallas Honda dealer was the reports of its great safety ratings for how well it performed on crash tests. I was looking for a replacement car because my last one was totaled in a wreck when my teenage son was driving it, so I was looking for something a little safer. I didn’t want something which would just crunch up easily, and, well, the CR-V is incredibly strong and safe, and it’s also the most popular SUV in the country.
So I took it for a drive, and wow! I felt like I was resting, not driving. It handles so well, and the inside is so comfortable, that you can barely tell you’re in a big hunk of metal.
