This is my second Honda CRV so obviously I am a big fan. My first was a metallic blue color with grey leather interior, armrests, weird flip down center consul (more on that later) and a very roomy trunk. My first reaction to driving the car was the turn ratio was excellent. I once drove a Lexus and the turning ratio was terrible; I might as well have been driving a car without power steering. All credit to Lexus though, they corrected the turning ratio on later models. Back to the CRV, I found the driver's seat to be particularly comfortable for me - I'm 5'2" - many car manufacturers make the driver seat for a much taller person but the CRV must've been made with me in mind! I owned the blue car for about 2 years and then traded it in in 2013 for my current CRV, a dark grey all-wheel drive model. Love, love, love this car just a much as the previous one. Apart from the color, this one differs in that they did away with the flip-down center consul and replaced it with a spacious box with sliding lid. I can store sunglasses, mints, cell charger, CDs and a box of tissues in there, it's so large. I went with the grey leather interior again and tinted windows also.

I loved the CRV. First is spacious and comfortable. The backseats were adjustable, and the back compartment hatch had a two-layer space for storage or you could remove the space shelf and store larger objects there. The car was extremely good on gas mileage. We would only have to fill it up on a Sunday, and we were good till Saturday, which we did a lot of traveling, almost 150 miles a day back and forth from home to work. The gas tank also held a two-gallon reserve of fuel. The sound system was excellent as well as the cruise control and the power steering. The onboard ECU is also easy to get to under the hood. Everything is evenly spaced out and nothing is hidden by other parts, so maintenance was an actual beauty to fix anything which required attention. The sun roof also allowed for cool comfortable transportation on a sunny day with wind, also the tinted glass made it easier to leave it open during the day. The automatic child proof locks made it easy for the windows and side controls to be locked so children and animals couldn't accidently activate them. The quality of the vehicle was top notch and well constructed as the vehicle overall handled easily and was a comfort to not only drive but also drive in.
