Complaints: The CR-V is an excellent wagon. But Honda needs to reconsider its pricing strategy for this model line. The reason is Hyundai. For example, the comparable front-wheel-drive Hyundai Santa Fe Limited has seating for seven and comes with a 242-horsepower V-6 engine, standard electronic stability control and a base price of $26,145. The front-wheel-drive CR-V EX-L has a smaller engine, seating for five people, and a base price of $26,800. The CR-V is smart. But considering its substantially lower price and substantially better warranty, the Hyundai Santa Fe seems smarter.

Ride, acceleration and handling: The CR-V is excellent in all three categories on the highway and in the city. It moves in and out of traffic easily, safely. It is wonderfully maneuverable on heavily traveled city streets. It inspires confident driving in any environment.

Did a research on Edmunds, for those specific trims, true cost to own CR-V is $47,322, for Santa Fe is $53,678

I think smart buyers consider TCTO. This is for a specific ZIP code though. Check with your zip codes.

I think the CR-V is positioned well with seating for 5 and not 7. That's why Honda has a Pilot.

Exactly. CR-V and Santa Fe are not in the same class.

CR-V - Tucson
Pilot - Santa Fe

By looking at the fact that the dealers pretty much sell the CRV off the truck in my area, I think Honda has the pricing correctly placed. During my searches, the vast majority of CRV's that I looked at were already sold/spoken for. This also indicates that the market thinks that they are correctly priced despite what some experts believe.
