Posted in Street Cars, 4x4, Honda by CarLover on Jun 30th, 2007

Honda CR-VEarlier than Honda CR-V in was one of the most popular cars in its class. Then there was restayling, which brought to automobile still more than popularity, and absolutely new model was finally released. As it only they did not call, some simply were enraptured by it, others considered automobile plain. As a whole sufficiently questionable left the novelty, if we judge by the appearance. Actually, bul’dozhiy the grin, which gives the bumper advanced forward to automobile, does not make general appearance with more dears. But this design arrived for someone on the soul. CR-V was collected the mass: it began to appear more volumetric and contemporary. From behind it even slightly whisks away to Volvo XC90 - are very similar lamps. Inside automobile meets by comfort and cosiness. The situation immediately indicating that rabid dynamics from the the new CR-V in awaiting does not be worth. Here everything is very quiet. On this auto- it is good to go along the route, around the city, even to stand in the plug - always it is possible to find how to study. In the same plug, for example, it is possible to spend pair it is hour on the contemplation of “bench-hammer”. Sensation now and then is created, that the contemporary autos-producer decided to arrange competition to the “space” parking brake itself. Maybe, CR-V in it will not take Boundary- with this competition, but it will accurately be among the leaders. For those, who will become generous to the system with the screen for their auto-, another pair of excess it is hour they will arrive right on target in order to be dismantled, as it works. The glove box a little disappoints: in it it is complicated to place even the most necessary documents like the insurance. It sufficiently deep, but narrow. Partially this is compensated by the presence of the heap of small sections for any melochevki like the telephone or bundle cigarette. Is very pleasantly executed the panel of instruments and central console. The display of on-board computer reflects entire necessary information. Separate thanks it is desirable to say to producers for the control - it very convenient, in addition all keys for control of on-board computer and audiosistemoy are located very conveniently to everything: at any speed to switch song or to look average expenditure is possible, without being distracted from the road. Certainly, with its dynamics Cr- in it does not strike. Engine 2,0 SOHS i -Vtec issues its maximum in the form 150 hp on 6200 r/min, and the topovyy torque of 192 nm is reached for 4000 revolutions. Despite the fact that all characteristics are accessible on the high revolutions, “pickup” approximately identical on entire range. This aggregate makes from the extra-road builder ideal working horsie, but not thoroughbred jumper. Although in majority their people buy this automobile not in order to chase along the special routes, namely in order with the comfort to take a trip for the city, to transport something to the dacha, to jump up on the border, when plug becomes entirely intolerable. New CR-V is suitable ideally for these purposes. Yes even fuel machine eats not much: depending on the manner of ride on 100 km of way around the city it is burnt from 11 to 13 liters of gasoline. Not bad result. Here only the “automaton”, which interacts with this motor, it seemed by slightly pensive. But here tuning suspension clearly speak, that to this auto- would approach the engine pomoshchneye. On road Honda it stands as poured. Into the turnings it dives with the minimum banks. On the whole, controllability in machine at the higher level. Naturally, this not to the best side affects the softness of suspension and the comfort of passengers. Although is manifested this so not strongly. Yes, on the dirt road, on the large pits yes at the very high speed suspension seems harsh, but these are the exceptional cases, which with the interest are compensated by general impression from the alloy of comfort and controllability. The price, which they request after this extra-road builder, is completely acceptable. For the cheapest model will have to return to $33 thousand. 800, and for the most expensive - $39 thousand. 500. As the basic competitor it is possible to examine even not Toyota RAV4, but recently that appearing Mazda CX-7, which, possessing more contemporary appearance, stands temporarily more expensively.
