The 2.1 generation CR-V (2005-2006) was the best car Honda ever made. Physical buttons, switches and levers for everything. Bulletproof engine and manual gearbox. Dead simple to work on, aside from unfortunate oil filter placement. Reasonable fuel economy. Side swing hatch door. Built in picnic table. 6 disc changer with a tape deck.
- antisthenes 4y agoI understand the nostalgia for physical buttons, but tape decks and cd changers should go the way of the dodo, and it's baffling to even see them mentioned as an advantage? My car had a CD player that constantly damaged discs that were playing when hitting road bumps, which rendered most CDs unusable within a year. Couldn't have been happier to get a car with a USB port and a bluetooth connection to let me play a library 1000x as what would fit on 6 cds.
- schwartzworld 4y agoReally? I love the CD player in my car. I don't have Bluetooth but a $2 aux cable lets me use my phone if I really want to. Of course you have to have a headphone jack on your phone, another obsolete feature.
- twisteriffic 4y agoThe bit about the tape deck was intended as a bit of a joke. Tape decks were almost unheard of in new vehicles in 2006, and MP3 cd players were fairly common already. It was super strange to mash together a 6 disc changer with a tape deck. Both the deck and changer have been flawless in 16 years and 350,000KM of gravel roads, and adding an aux input wasn't too hard. The hidden picnic table more than makes up for the weird av decisions, imo
