CRV's are crap
We had a small snow storm on the east coast. I had never been home to see my
wife drive her car. The piece of crap 2001CRV could not get out of a few inches of snow. The tires have less than 20k on them. Needless to say we will be getting another SUV; a Jeep or maybe a FJCruiser. I feel sorry for anyone stick driving a CRV. My RAV4 got through the 8 inches of snow to get into the drive way the plow pushed in front of it. |

What kind of tires? Snow tires or all-seasons? Also, was it snow or ice? I feel sorry for anyone stuck driving a Jeep or (barf) FJ Cruiser. Dan D '07 Ody EX Central NJ USA |

There's one on the evening news every time we get a big storm and the Whitemud Freeway gets ICY. Rednecks don't feel they have to slow down. Good tires and driving skills make all the difference. I've had three CR-Vs but the one with 'all seasons' was terrible for snow / ice. 'Curly' |

When I lived in colorado, it was a cliche how 49 out of 50 vehicles that sailed off road and had to be towed out were 4WD. The idiots who owned them thought they made them invincible and were too stupid to realize that they had the same braking as a standard car and worse handling. |

Multiple choice time: a) The tires are all-seasons and not winter tires; b) Your winter driving habits stink; c) You are a troll; d) All of the above. I pick d. |

Snow tires or all-seasons? Also, was it snow or >ice? Snow tires make a huge difference. My GS-R had no trouble during the heavy snow in Chicago this week. I was easily faster and had more control than 90% of the vehicles driving including the SUVs. I have Nokian tires but I don't think they are available anymore. Michelin and Bridgestone also make very good winter tires. > >I feel sorry for anyone stuck driving a Jeep or (barf) FJ Cruiser. > >Dan D >'07 Ody EX >Central NJ USA |

The tires have less than 20k on them. Why would you blame the entire vehicle because of the tires you put on it? > Needless to say we will be getting another SUV; a Jeep or maybe a > FJCruiser. Don't put bad tires on those, otherwise you'll be unhappy with them too. > I feel sorry for anyone stick driving a CRV. > My RAV4 got through the 8 inches of snow to get into the drive way the > plow pushed in front of it. > I'll bet the RAV-4 had better tires. The CR-V and the RAV-4 have identical operational characteristics and similar weight. Nothing to choose from there. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

About a month or so ago I was driving home from work in a snow storm, and I saw an SUV that had skidded off the road and onto a nearby railway track. Too bad that this railway track sees almost no traffic. Could have meant one less SUV to worry about. :-) |

A Jeep or FJ will be no substitute for your sub-par driving abilities and crappy tires. |
