Image via Wikipedia Today I test drove Honda CR-V and the experience was almost mind blowing. I have never driven such technologically advanced vehicle before. Of course these are the perks of living in Dubai that it opens the world for you by making everything available.
The first thing that I noticed in the vehicle was that the gear was just below the dashboard under the A/C and music player, instead of being in the middle of driver and front passenger seat as it usually is in other vehicles. This created the room for the storage compartment in the front row.
Second thing about the vehicle is that although it is an SUV but it feels just like a sedan. Except for the elevated view everything else is just like operating a sedan car. I guess that’s what cross-over means.
The features that impressed me were real time fuel consumption monitor, average fuel consumption and range with the remaining fuel. These features will surely make you a better driver in the long run.
The interior of the car is pretty impressive and quite roomy. Specially in the back seats there is plenty of leg room which is usually lacking even in the biggest of sedans.
Honda CR-V didn’t feel underpowered at all, as it is generally said about it. Here’s the thing. This vehicle is not made for off-road adventure. As long as you stay on the road you will never face power issues with this car. If you want to go off-road then you should consider buying Nissan X-Terra.
I don’t have any issues with the car. It’s a no brainer. I am most likely to buy a Honda CR-V in next few days.
So I’m guessing you won’t be going camping in that car.

hi and salaam,
i’m nizar from bombay, india. i discovered your blog recently and have read all the posts. i too am planning to move to dubai as i have a fairly good job offer (or so i think) but after reading on your blog that dubai is only for the rich, i have my doubts. by the way, how much does the crv cost on road in dubai? do they sell it on finance?
niz » it ranges from 91k to 112k dhs. Yes that’s how most people buy cars in Dubai. They get it financed through a bank.
Hi Umar. Thank you for adding me in FB. I am curious on how do you commute everyday without a car in Dubai. Is it easy to get taxi/bus? I am coming to Dubai in October and anticipating I wont be getting a car for the first 5-6 months. I plan to live in International City.
Please share your thought on this. Thanks
Syamsulfaiz » currently I drive a rental car which I hired as soon as I got my license. Before that I used to commuted to and from work with an office mate. For other traveling I relied on taxis.
Well, I will disagree with you when you say “Except for the elevated view everything else is just like operating a sedan car. I guess that’s what cross-over means.”
Please test drive Nissan Murano, Mazda CX-9 or Ford Edge and feel the difference. Though CRV is a good buy because its a good-value-for-money vehicle but Cross-Over is more than just the elevated view. The real difference comes with the engine size. CRV is 2.3 or 2.4 L whereas other SUVs are not less than 3.5 L which is the real difference.
Cheers

Ford Edge is a super car. This is my 5th Ford in 6 yrs, always had F150s on lease from office, and this time decided to get the Edge. No regrets at all. We drive the trucks pretty hard, about 60 – 80k miles a year, before trading them in, and never had a problem with them. Hope the Edge lives up to the F150. OTK
the car CR-V is best while i think there is not better car in this segment.
The new honda CRV is best to run to indian road for travelling while i think proper usage of SUV has been there on Indian road nowday's.
