This is the first Honda vehicle I have owned. It has been very reliable mechanically with basic maintenance. The cargo area is large and fits enough stuff for a weeks worth of camping gear. The negative aspects of the car all have to do with the body. The paint is very susceptible to scratches and the trim along the doors has been peeling, likely from the sun. The rubber gaskets/liners that keep water from getting into the door have started to deteriorate which I have read is a common problem for this vehicle. It can be expensive to have fixed, but is relatively easy to DIY. The inside is very roomy for a compact SUV and it drives smooth up to 70 mph. Overall, I love the car. Someone who is concerned with body condition may want to look elsewhere though.

I bought this as a family car and absolutely love it. It is not huge but a perfect size for what we need. It is pretty spacious considering we have two kids and a dog and we travel often. It is very comfortable on our 4-5 hour drives to Orlando, which we do often. Kids love it, and we have plenty of room to be comfortable plus to take everything we take. It is usually 2-3 adults, two kids and sometimes a dog. Plus all the additional luggage, etc., etc.
