Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda CR-V?
I like the drive & handling.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda CR-V?
Backing up is a necessary evil, but is not easy, at all, in the CR-V. It is not easy to see in the rear for back-up purposes. Also, I would put a button in the car so you can have your headlights, and tail-lights, go on automatically - like on the Subaru. Not daytime running lights, the tail-lights do not go on when DRL are on. In the fog, and other inclement weather, DRL are not enough, you still need your tail-lights on.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda CR-V?
I like the rear lift gate/door over previous model. I also like the new shape, overall size, good fuel economy (but a hybrid wood be better), love the brighter dash read outs, controls are nice, easy to use.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda CR-V?
I wish it had home link feature & bluetooth. The cargo shelf to me is not the greatest, I wish it had a cargo area cover (1 piece that would lift up like a hatch but would be removable. The arm rest are ok, but would rather have a armrest console like the accord. Better options for hauling groceries, like hooks built into the back of the rear seats, etc. 18" tires would be nice, but not the top of my list. A hybrid model with better fuel economy and more horsepower would be nice too.
2008 Honda CR-V Review:
Love my 2008 Cr-V with the power seat, couldn't get comfortable with out that feature. Plenty of pep for city or highway. Good features, would like a cargo area cover like a hatch back instead of shelf. Great SUV overall!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda CR-V?
I like the body style and the room.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda CR-V?
The ride could be a little quieter, and more room in back seat. The door handle could be placed a little higher since I keep hitting my knee on it. For the price honda could add some extra, like power drivers seat and lumbar support.
2008 Honda CR-V Review:
I like the vehicle it drives ok, but a little too much engine noise. My Sonata is quieter, and rides better. This is my first crossover and I down sized from a minivan. It does preform very well on snow and ice.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda CR-V?
good power
good gas mileage
looks sharp
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda CR-V?
driver's seat has no lumbar support and is very uncomfortable after a few miles
ride is a little bumpy
2 weeks old and there are some rattles
no center console to hold my stuff...it has a fold down tray instead (what a stupid feature...for the one time in my life that i buy a 12 foot PVC pipe and slide it under this tray, i would rather have the console full of storage all the other days
2008 Honda CR-V Review:
I would give it a much higher score if the driver's seat wasn't so uncomfortable

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda CR-V?
Styling,Roominess, folsd up back seats for nore cargo space. Overall driveability, but it could use another gear to increase economy between 35 & 49mph.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda CR-V?
It neesd a key lock for the rear door. I experienced an inability for it to start and my jumper cables were in the back and not accessible. The battery was okay and the dealer could not find the cause for the failure for it to start without a jump start after which after a few days is starting okay. Also it needs to reduce the noise level at higher speeds, It may be the tire design or lack of more insulation to reduce the interior noise level.
