I purchased my CRV kind of on a whim. I had been contemplating a new car for several months and when I pulled onto the lot for an oil change, the CRV screamed "HELLO! BUY ME!" I honestly almost bought it without test driving it.

I desperately needed a vehicle that would accommodate the size of my family. I have two small children in large convertible car seats, so I needed a large backseat with decent trunk space. The CRV is considered a small/mid-sized SUV, so it has enough space without being a monstrous vehicle. I had to replace the battery recently, which was an inconvenience, but it was the original battery in a ten-year-old vehicle. Hondas last forever.
