Updated in 2010, 2.4-liter engine of the CR-V offers enthusiastic, but a smooth acceleration and fuel economy than the 2009 model. CR-V is a quiet street and out, so it's one of the SUVs in its class management.

These core strengths, combined with an attractive range of features for comfort and convenience, including leather, navigation and Bluetooth, making it easy to understand why the CR-V is a perennial best-seller .... Develop comprehensive review
