So I'm in the market for a small size SUV. I'm looking at the Honda CRV and I've found one that I like.

Main question: Is this a girl's car? Will I just looking like an idiot driving this thing?

11/5/2006 7:39:10 PM

yes and yes

[Edited on November 5, 2006 at 7:40 PM. Reason : i say again, YES and YES.]

11/5/2006 7:39:41 PM

I concur with the above statement. You better off with a sedan.

11/5/2006 7:42:20 PM

Don't really want a car.

Looking for a SUV that gets around 22/27 mpg. What would you guys recommend?

11/5/2006 7:50:17 PM

A car.

11/5/2006 7:50:43 PM

all small SUV are chicks' car IMO.

i kinda liked the v6 ford escape i rode in the other day

but i mean i was being driven around by the female owner

11/5/2006 8:01:02 PM

My cr-v gets 22-26 mpg. You will at least meet your mpg needs/wants. If youre not mature enough to make decisions for yourself,thats all the help i can offer you.

Hell if you took theduke866's advice on cars the s2k would look like an illegitimate fathers car.

[Edited on November 5, 2006 at 8:04 PM. Reason : i do call it the CerVi-X quite often though....might be on to something]

11/5/2006 8:02:56 PM

^I'm not basing my opinion on anybody's opinion on here.

Just trying to get a feel for what people think. I found a 2006 4wd CR-V that I liked.

yeah I don't like those s2k.

11/5/2006 8:08:37 PM

hows about.... a deisel liberty


with an arb bull bar and a lil atv winch

11/5/2006 8:08:58 PM

yeah, screw what "looks like a girls car". why even think like that?

its a car, its suppose to get you places without worries. everyone on here thinks a miata is a girls car, and guess what, people drive them. they are good cars also.


the new CRVs are real nice looking, and even the older ones are nice. so what that people think its a girls car, honda is known for a lot of good things when it comes to cars.

so instead of asking if its a girls car, maybe you can ask for some comparisons, or even go drive different cars in that range

11/5/2006 8:16:45 PM

^ from a guy who tracks a "girl car"

Just kiddin man an integra has 3x the balls of a crv

seriously though... the liberty suggestion is the least girly of the bunch and w/o a lift they still look like girl cars.. and your lift will mess up your mpg.... soo....
get a car they drive better look better get better mileage and go faster.

11/5/2006 8:20:39 PM

^^ brutal honesty. I like it. alot of good points

I like the CRV. Most likely I'll end up driving it. Sorta hoping this would bring some other options but I see that everyone is like "just get a car" which is something I do not want.

^^^Not a fan of jeep unless it's an old model with a 350 in it

[Edited on November 5, 2006 at 8:22 PM. Reason : I DON"T WANT A CAR]

11/5/2006 8:21:22 PM

11/5/2006 8:21:43 PM

yes and yes

11/5/2006 8:55:10 PM

what about a wagon? look for subaru's maybe?

even though the crv is pretty much a high riding civic, i can't stand the idea of people buying suv's for no good reason.

11/5/2006 9:48:46 PM

I like higher riding height. I plan to get a jetski in a couple year which a CRV can pull. I want to be able to car a few people along with stuff in the back. I like the 4wd for not so good weather.

yeah it doesn't get the same gas milage as a Matrix or Vibe but I don't want to drive a station wagon

either way, a car is low. I don't want low.

shit I guess I could get an old caprice and put 22's on it. Best of both worlds

11/5/2006 10:48:46 PM

crv probably got just an inch or two more gorund clearence than most economy wagons and sedans.

if you haven't looked at a new or last years suzuki grand vitara, check it out. might still look girly, but it has some kick ass features, especially the premium version, and looks very very clean in and out. still looks girly just like any other small suv. so far reliability has been decent from what i understand.

11/5/2006 11:32:42 PM

you must b e pretty insecure if the main question you ask yourself is "is this a girl car". Hell I'd love a miata but it seems like lots of people think they are "gay"

11/5/2006 11:32:42 PM

duke can pull it off

11/5/2006 11:34:12 PM

Long live the station wagon!!!!!!

11/5/2006 11:37:20 PM

id rock miata

I look at them as chick SUVs, but as long as you have 4WD AWD then they're somewhat respectable.

And I'd second a Legacy Outback turbo, hehe. More ground clearance than an Explorer, if I recall.

11/5/2006 11:56:16 PM

also consider the Rav4 and Highlander. Both get decent gas mileage.

11/6/2006 5:58:20 AM

^^ yeah and they can tow like 3000 lbs or so...

they're also FUN TO DRIVE....

the only suvs that are fun to drive cost upwards of 50k
unless you count the subaru forrester as an suv (which it says it is and if a jacked up honda civic can be then i suppose a jacked up imprezza should be considering the superior awd system.)

11/6/2006 7:05:16 AM

^I was gonna mention the Subaru Forester...I can't help but like them. Something about the only SUV that Tarheel SCCA allows at AutoX is just cool.

CR-V's are fine too though. Honestly, who cares what others think? Someone will always dissaprove of what you drive.

You can go with the Element too if ya wanna go Fugly

11/6/2006 7:32:14 AM

Damn there's some insecure muthuhfugguhs up in here. Get what fits your needs and fuck what the idiots think.

I suddenly have this strange urge to go buy a VW cabrio.......

Try driving the CX-7. They can be had for mid 20s.

11/6/2006 3:56:19 PM

Fuck that. Get a Dodge Magnum.

Beats all ass. Who cares if has a station wagon look. It could beat your ass.

11/6/2006 7:17:17 PM

i had one for like 4 months. car would not break, was very reliable and practical but i hated it. i felt like i was borrowing my moms car the whole time i had it which is exactly what i was doing, and it has zero pick up and power. id stay away

11/6/2006 7:48:50 PM

infiniti fx35
subaru forester

11/6/2006 8:01:18 PM

^^ 4 months? i've owned cars for longer than that without destroying them. perhaps none of you are aware of my ability to destroy things, but thats a feat.

11/7/2006 12:05:00 AM

foresters are tough as hell and offroad pretty well. I work with a guy that has one and while I wouldnt buy his used because of the thrashing hes done with it, I would buy one like it.
