CRV, Great vehicle. Should be a few lakhs cheaper.

<P>I test drove a CRV (2wd, 2000cc, &nbsp;manual) today. First the positives;</P> <P>This is s perfect dimension for Indian traffic conditions. Driver seat is very comfortable and offers great visibility. Once you look around; the interior materials and fit/finish is excellent and typical of honda. Power driver seat was very convenient. Steering wheel is robust and felt good to hold. One felt ready to push the vehicle.&nbsp; </P> <P>Once on the road the gear shifts were smooth and efficient. Dealer mentioned drive by wire. I am not sure if it is so; but the shift lever is conveniently located on the dash and very smooth.</P> <P>Vehicle was quick to respond to throttle and was comfortable in slow conditions. Visibility in traffic is good. This vehicle is not too big and not too small.</P> <P>Once on a four lane divided road, I waited for the slow vehicles to pull ahead and launched the vehicle red lining on all of the gears. Much to the shock and amusement of my passengers, I performed a quick lane change. The vehicle felt very much in control. For a fraction of a second,&nbsp;I felt the body roll and quickly corrected to come back to center. Not bad at all for an SUV type vehicle. </P> <P>Suspension was very smooth on regular city roads. Occasionally I dropped the vehicle into a pothole. Suspension absorbed the bump ammazingly well. If I am not wrong, the chassis is shared with the civic, which is a great vehicle. </P> <P>Negatives: Too highly priced. at 20 Lakhs. In the US it costs only 20~25 thousand USD. Before I drove this I always thought this was&nbsp; a Soccor Moms car. However I stand corrected. </P> <P>I wish they would make the radio console&nbsp; wrap around to&nbsp; the cup holder console giving it a more aggressive, non-minivan type of feel. I prefer the shift lever in the conventional location and not on the Instrument panal. </P> <P>Seond row seating feels unsubstantial. I wish they would spend more on it make it more comfortable. One felt tossed around in a typical bench seat. Leg room in the second row is great. I would have liked captain seats. </P> <P>I wish they would get rid of the pout in the front bumper.</P> <P>The CRV is a drivers' car, for the city with occasional dirt track ability. I think this vehicle is perfect for India. However ,I wish it was 5 Lakhs cheaper. </P>Good Ride, Excellent interiors, Perfect dimensions, responsiveCost, second row comfort, milleage
