I just picked up my CR-V Monday. I'm very happy with it so far, especially given that my biggest complaint right now is that it doesn't seem to have a spot to organize loose change. I've spent less than an hour in the car so far, so I might have overlooked an obvious solution. Anyone have any suggestions on this topic?
I got a plastic coin purse that I keep in the center console, for the extremely rare times I might park at a coin-operated meter. The salesperson suggested using the small storage area over the driver's left knee, but as that doesn't have any sort of cover I decided to go with the coin purse.
I also put mine in the cubby to the left of the wheel; that seems to be exactly what it's for, because it won't hold much else, unless you inexplicably want to put your keys there.
I have a used medicine bottle slightly larger than a quarter. It holds a couple dozen quarters. I keep it and a Chapstick in the small section to the left of the front cup holder. Any other change is in my pocket or the jar at home. I considered the small spot below the door pull handle but used that for the wheel lug key. I also considered the lower left dash but am not using that for anything yet.
To follow up, I bought this model and just received it. Based on some of the reviews and the price, I was expecting it to feel a bit more cheaply made than it is. I'm also impressed that it came with a Velcro mount, which I'll definitely be using. I plan on putting it next to the USB ports.
I use a small cloth bag initially for holding sun glasses...works well and resides in the center console...I use a few plastic bins in the center console for my stuff. They stack well and keep things separate and easy to access.
I picked up one of these (passenger side, black, without cupholder) - I use it on the Driver's side though.
Seems to work well for my needs in the 2016 model.
Thank you much for the picture. I had no idea where everyone was talking about. I was also looking for a place to keep change. Sometimes I visit areas where someone may break in my car just to get my silver if visible.
