2009 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4

The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review

Very comfortable to enter and exit. Very comfortable to sit in for long trips. see full Honda CR-V review

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

Could not find a comfortable position, even with a power seat. see full Honda CR-V review
2008 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2009 Honda CR-V

2009 Honda CR-V Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
At its curb weight, and, with 180 HP, performance is quite decent for a 4 cyclinder SUV. see full Honda CR-V review
2008 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic AWD
CVT works very smoothly. Merging onto highway takes a heavy foot to get the revs and speed up but the car responds willingly, although feels slightly stretched and the engine wipes the sweat off its brow when merging completed. see full Honda CR-V review
2008 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic AWD
The 2.4l 166 hp engine is willing and ready to spool up in an instant without complaint even when approaching the red line. The 5 speed transmission is smooth and very refined. This transmission deserves a more capable engine though. see full Honda CR-V review

Underwhelming soccer mom engine. Felt like it should be in a civic, not an 3500lb SUV. see full Honda CR-V review

not real awd: google it for videos, and you will see that awd never kicks in when required. a fake awd. and you cannot lock (like in patriot or rav4 for example). see full Honda CR-V review

It could use a bit more power, especially when fully loaded. see full Honda CR-V review

No V-6 available. The 4 cylinder seems underpowered. see full Honda CR-V review

Relatively weak 4-cylinder (compared the the RAV4 V6). see full Honda CR-V review
2008 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic AWD
The engine though smooth is very underpowered for this vehicle especially when loaded. Its limits are reached easily on the most gradual hills. It has to be wrung out to its limits to provide mediocre thrust. The transmission is flawless though. see full Honda CR-V review
