The Honda Crave That's All The Rave By TeaKat on Oct 10, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The newly designed 2007 Honda CRV made it's much anticipated debut on the market in 2006. The sleek new design comes as a pleasant surprise to loyal Honda owners and admirers like myself.

The exterior of the CRV has been updated from an unattractive boxed look to one that is a definite eye cathcher. Although the basic LX edition is a great choice, many upgrades are available. Rear spoilers, stylish factory rims (my favorite), mud flaps, and chrome grills just to name a few.

Still have doubts? Well you wont when you take a look at the inside! In addition to the more common specifications (stereo with cd player, numerous cup holders, power locks and windows, ample seating), the new CRV offers a collapsable middle console, a storage tray under the passenger seat, and the gear shift is conveniently placed under the stereo and temperature controls. Eventhough there is lots of cargo room in the back, the backseats and passenger seats fold down to make a uniform flat surface for extra large cargo. The backseats also recline and slide back and forth. My kids love this feature on long trips. Add navigation, XM radio, and a rear camera for a nominal charge.

Honda has always offered a smooth dependable ride and that hasnt changed with the 2007 CRV. This 4 wheel drive handles easily under all road conditions and the road noises are blocked from hearing inside the cabin. The curtain airbags offer added protection and security throughout.

The new exterior design, quality precision of the interior, and the timeless dependability with the Honda name, makes the 2007 CRV a worthy competitor to all other suv's on the market.
