Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review |

Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review |

Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review |
