2008 Honda CR-V - First Impressions

The 2008 Honda CR-V is a compact SUV that features new exterior styling that trades the trademark rear-mounted spare tire and side-hinged rear door for a rear liftgate. The CR-V has a 5 speed automatic transmission, 2.4-liter I4, 166-horsepower engine, and after getting redesigned for 2007, the 2008 Honda CR-V adds more features to the EX-L including a new dual-zone automatic climate control system, a driver's seat with eight-way power adjustment, power lumbar support and a premium audio system.

"The longer I drove the CR-V, the more I became used to it and fond of its zippiness, ability to handle corners at speed, and its ability to stop immediately. I drove it down my favorite, dark, curvy road and the CR-V did not disappoint."
