INTRODUCTION: “Honda's CR-V was not designed to tackle tough terrain. Honda knows most sport-utilities rarely leave the pavement, let alone venture into real rough stuff. For most of us, a little extra ground clearance and four-wheel traction are enough to satisfy our SUV needs: running family errands, battling winter slush.

The Honda CR-V offers utility, car-like driveability and full-time four-wheel drive. These first two are attributes minivans are designed to address and the CR-V offers the usefulness of a minivan.”

FEATURES: “A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 146 horsepower powers all models. CR-V LX models come standard with air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, map lights, a rear window washer-wiper, and power windows, mirrors and locks. To this, EX models add ABS, remote keyless entry, dual power color-keyed mirrors, CD stereo and alloy wheels.”

DRIVING: “Good ride quality is a CR-V strong suit. It's supple enough to absorb the nasty little irregularities of rough pavement without excessive compromise in handling response.

Overall, the CR-V drives like a compact station wagon, which is essentially what it is. There is nothing remotely truck-like about its behavior. Steering is precise and feeds plenty of road feel back to the driver.”

SUMMARY: “The Honda CR-V is an excellent piece of work. It's much roomier than the RAV4…it is loaded with nifty features and, for the kind of duties that most sport-utilities perform most of the time, its all-around practicality and comfort deserve high marks.”

INTRODUCTION: “Honda Civic is an icon. Honda sells more than 325,000 Civics a year in the U.S., making it one of America's best-selling compacts. Civics are notable for their excellent fuel economy and sporty handling. Front-seat comfort is superb by any measure.”

FEATURES: “Civic DX and LX are powered by a 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine rated 115 horsepower…LX adds air conditioning, 15-inch (rather than 14-inch) steel wheels, anti-roll bars front and rear, power-operated controls, a height-adjustable driver's seat, remote keyless entry, a CD player, and other luxury features.

Civic EX models get more power from a 127-horsepower VTEC version of the 1.7-liter engine. EX also gets 15-inch aluminum wheels, body-colored power mirrors, upgraded audio with six speakers, and a tilt-and-slide glass sunroof.

The Civic Hybrid represents the ultimate in environmental responsibility, using a small gas engine and a big electric motor to achieve up to 51 mpg. The Hybrid ($19,650) is equipped comparably to the EX sedan.”

SUMMARY: “You can't go wrong buying a Honda Civic, regardless of trim level. All are reliable, practical, and fuel efficient. Civics are fun to drive and all models offer excellent handling…Civics are available with anti-lock brakes and side-impact airbags. All models deliver high fuel economy figures.”

“[D]rivers who want to help advance a new technology that can improve the environment in the long run should consider the Civic Hybrid. It is a nice, almost luxurious small car that has a different feel to it without giving up any creature comforts. It's a car for people who don't want to follow the crowd and, instead, prefer to lead it.”
