I bought a 1998 Honda CR-V last year, and I love it! I purchased this car pretty soon after buying a lemon -- what a loss. My mechanic took pity on me and gave me a few pointers on how to buy a car that would last. Armed with that knowledge, I was able to choose the right car for me!

If you are interested in a reliable, durable and all-around comfortable midsize SUV, I would highly recommend a Honda CR-V. This vehicle is a sleek design and comes with sporty looking features on the base model. I have driven the vehicle already for 25,000 miles, and it still feels like the first day I took it out of the showroom. The interior has held up well with my three young children as well. The suspension and braking system are also smooth and comfortable. When you drive over a pothole, you can barely feel it.
