Honda Los Angeles - An Honest Review of the Honda 2007 CR-V by Rob Richards
Honda... Los Angeles, the two go together like the Hollywood and fancy restaurants. As well they should. If you're looking for a Honda, Los Angeles, you've come to the right place. In this article, you'll get an honest review of the Honda Los Angeles 2007 CR-V.
Honda Los Angeles - Honda 2007 CR-V - The Outside
The first thing you will notice as you check out the 2007 Honda CR-V is its completely revamped exterior. The style lines have been softened and the outline of this compact-SUV is completely different than the 2006 model. It would appear that Honda has responded to the American consumer's desire for a more sleek, not boxy, SUV. I really appreciated the changes. This model just looks better going down the road than last year's model.
The hood of the 2007 is gently rounded and from the windshield back, the roofline drops just slightly as it passes over the glass area. The wheel wells are lsightly extended and filled with rubber. The tire print from this SUV, is fairly beefy and gives it a squat, yet powerful look.
From the newly designed front bumper - pseudo skidplate to the trademark CR-V taillights which sit top a high-relief tailgate panel, this CR-V screams style and ease. Your eyes are naturally drawn to the strong character line which runs from the top of the front wheel well to the middle of the side marker lens of the rear taillight. I like how this car looks. But what about the inside?
Honda Los Angeles - Honda 2007 CR-V - The Inside
As are most things which bear the Honda badge, the interior of the 2007 CR-V focuses on the functional. All gauges and lights on the instrument panel are easily seen and while sitting in the driver's seat, everything is within easy reach. The overall look of the dashboard is classic Honda. Overall quality and fit easily meets the standard that Honda has already established in year's past. The fabric upholstery of the model we drove seems durable and was comfortable as well. The EX-L model would have the upgraded leather as a standard option.
Though just average in height, I still felt that the slight increase in front seat height and wider backs was a nice change for the 2007 model. The side bolsters appear to be fairly functional in keeping the driver in his seat. The bottom bolster were created more for ease of entry than for functionality, though to be honest with you, most people won't be trying to pull too many G's while making turns in this Honda.
The rear seats seem a little too contoured, but perhaps this was allowed to increase the functionality of the rear seat folding options. This was a feature that I really appreciated. The rear seat bottoms breaks down 60/40 with the longer piece being on the right. The rear seat backs, however, divide 40/20/40 into three sections, allowing you a myriad of choices and options when trying to arrange luggage or groceries.
Overall, the exterior and interior changes made to the 2007 Honda CR-V were very welcome. The outside looks great and the inside is comfortable and functional. Our next honest review will look at what's under the hood and how well the 2007 Honda CR-V drives.
