With so many good compact SUVs to choose from, why buy the redesigned 2007 CR-V?

0

The first CR-V arrived in America nearly a decade ago, hot on the heels of the surprisingly successful Toyota RAV4. Both vehicles were designed for the Japanese consumer, and plans did not originally include offering them in the U.S. The CR-V also did very well. It lacked power, and its construction was a bit lightweight, but the combination of relatively car-like handling, a roomy and versatile interior, and a compact exterior found many takers. For 2002, Honda introduced a second-generation CR-V with more power and a more solid structure. I found it impressive at the time, but dated compared to the then-new Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage a few years later. For 2007, Honda has again redesigned the CR-V. Does the third-generation vehicle address my criticisms of the 2005? Does it measure up to the Toyota RAV4, which was redesigned last year and now offers a V6 and third-row seat as options? I took an all-wheel-drive CR-V EX for a test drive to find out. Styling Photos of the new CR-V
