Reviews of the 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L's voice-command system is fantastically easy to use and allows complete control over the navigation, audio, and climate-control systems. Steering is accurate and handling is very carlike. Its small size and backup camera make this one of the easiest vehicles to park.
The Bad: There is no option for Bluetooth hands-free. The sole digital-audio option is the odd PC Card slot behind the motorized touch screen, which means iPod or MP3 players have to plug in through the aux-in. Firm suspension makes for a choppy ride over bumpy roads.
The Bottom Line: The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L's small size and Civic-like handling make it a great choice for city dwellers who occasionally need to haul things--or people. While the cabin tech is impressive, a few more features, such as Bluetooth or iPod connectivity, would make it a home run.
