The Honda CR-V is a wonderful and practical vehicle, from this basic trim right on up. Even the lowest-priced rendition includes an array of impressive standard features that you might otherwise expect to pay extra for.
You'll get a great array of safety features (air bags, including side-curtain units with rollover sensors, ABS, traction control, and daytime running lights), comfort features (air conditioning with filtration, retractable center tray table), and convenience features (cruise control, power side mirrors, keyless entry, rear-window wiper). This year's  newly-designed generation is also wider than before, providing even more passenger breathing room and cargo space.
The LX won't break you at the pump (it's rated at 23 city/30 highway), but even better than that, it's a certified Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle. The praiseworthy power source is the same 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower I4 found in all CR-Vs.

Other notable features on the all-new LX include a tire-pressure monitoring system, which will help to assure not only safety but optimal fuel efficiency. You'll also get an anti-theft system with immobilizer, an audio system with MP3 playback compatibility, and a nifty little storage bin beneath the seat. Of course, there are ample cup-holders, too.
