I just took a 2007 CR-V EX-L with Navigation system for a test drive.

I found there to be a fair amount of wind noise at 75 mph, although much better at 65 mph.

One big annoyance was the driver seat dimension from back to front. It seemed far too small, at least for me (6'2", 32" inseam, long torso). Only about half of my thigh seemed to be supported by the seat. (In my 2002 Highlander, I have between 2 and 3 inches more of my thigh supported by the seat.

I did have to pump the seat down to near the lowest position so that I didn't bang my head against the side of the moonroof opening.

Anyone have any trouble with seat dimensions?

I noticed the seats being short also, but after a 9 hour drive home in it, I was fine. I am 5'-11.5". I messed around with the both thestearing wheel and seat height & in-and-out, and was comfortable most of the time. The seat length reminded of the Subaru Forester, but not as short.

Other points I have heard people comment on was visibility, which I found fine and acceleration, which I also found fine. Will it beat many vehicles off the line...no...Does it have enough getup and go from a stop and on the highway already going 75?...Yes.

The interior is tight. Very nicely done.
