  140,000 miles and going - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By takethisandthat - August 27 - 11:33 am

  I have no mechanical problems at all with this car. The gas mileage is 26 on the hwy which should be better. The seats are very hard, had to buy a gel seat to sit on. It handles OK but in the wind it gets moved around some. Also, it is loud from road noise. My black paint is like cheap nail polish. But I am sure I will drive this over 200,000 and have no problems.

  Stay AWAY from GEN2 CRV - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By UNICS33 - August 20 - 8:02 am

  It is soo LOUD, no sound proofing at all. Suspension is very stiff, almost the feeling of riding a buggy...my 3 yo cant even fall asleep, thats how loud and rough ride is. GAS mileage is bad too, averaging 22-23 on normal driving conditions. Car is too heavy for 4 cyl and drag factor is too high. My other Buick Regal is averaging 22mpg and comfort is stellar. Bought it almost new (12K mi) but I sold it in a year because it was very uncomfortable and LOUD, esp. with a little one inside. You feel every little irregularity in the pavement, struts are like filled with steel bars not gas, road noise and engine noise are impressively high. Dont trust the word of mouth. Im very disappointed.

  Love my new Honda CRV! - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Florence Wheeler - August 4 - 1:33 am

  Smooth drive, easy to handle, lots of pep, excellent sound system, lots of features come standard that I either couldnt find on other makes/models or would have had to pay extra for.

  Leased the car for my wife in 2006, no brainer decision to buy out the lease at present. The car has been perfect for the wife and small child as a daily driver and well suited for extended family drives/vacations. Sight lines are excellent, functionality is superb with the exception of the hinged back gate - would prefer an overhead rear door. Peppy enough to be fun and strong enough (AWD) for Philadelphia snow. Mileage is disappointing - Accords with the same engine get much better mileage - weve yet to break the 28MPG barrier on the hwy. 6-disc player and sound system is high quality. Reclining rear seats are nice. Overall this is a high value, very functional, simple car.

  First time Honda owner of a CR-V - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Charles Wright - July 8 - 8:27 pm

  This is my 1st Honda vehicle. I am awestruck by the quality, ride, interior room, accessibility of the controls and the displays. The comfort of the seats and the room overall. The handling is magnificent. Instant response on turning and when the cruise control is on the precise speed at which the car is maintained in any terrain. The CR-V allows me to feel in exact control of all of the controls I need to feel safe and comfortable while driving. This vehicle is extremely quiet and gives me the feeling of a relaxed and tranquil environment. I will forever be a Honda owner.

  i have owed my 2006 cr-v from new. I use it as a taxi for airport transfers and regularly get 47 mpg from the 2.4 diesel engine. I can recommend this car to all.

  Buy one while you can - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By Taysean - June 18 - 10:36 am

  I drove an 01 SE till late 06 and was very satisfied. I just recently, 6/5/09, bought an 06 EX w/ 14k miles on it. Needed 4WD to get to WV but wanted the mileage too. Definitely not disappointed. Drive 30 miles to work each day - averaging 32 MPG. Drove a good distance to buy vehicle which was described as "pristine". Was not even close w/ scratches, chips, etc. Saw CR- Vs with 50k miles in better condition. But overall, I am pleased w/ the vehicle.

  Overall the 2006 CR-V is a wonderful SUV, viewpoints very similar to all that have been said previously. Fuel economy could be better, I fill up sometimes 2 times per week, but the gas prices dont help either. I love the gated rear as opposed to my RX300 I "wrecked" last year..the CR-V was the replacement. The SUV is a little boring, miss my electric everything I will say. Radio is average, road noise is loud, comfort not bad.

  Space, the final frontier. - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By HM - May 21 - 6:36 am

  I have had this car for exactly 3 years and 69000 miles. Its used for around town and many extended rides of up to 3 to 6 hours each way (the distance to our daughters colleges). No problems. Handling surprisingly good, better than RX300 we had. Interior is huge, cargo space deceptively large. Perfect back for Golden Retrievers. Fabulous visibility. Very good in bad weather. However, road noise becomes tiresome after an hour. Sound system is just adequate. And my 57 yr old rear end gets sore on long rides (Im 58" and 143lb). If youre going to spend lots of time on commutes or long drives, treat yourself to something more luxo. But for around town and near, it cant be beat.

  Quality - 2006 Honda CR-V
  By DH - May 18 - 12:11 pm

  This is a reliable car. It is comfortable with kids and car seats, or adults on the commute. The gas mileage is better than listed. With a roof box, we fit 2 adults, 2 kids, a large dog, skis and equipment.
