When I traded in my previous vehicle for the Honda CR-V, I felt like I was trading in my youth for a mom car. While I was basically correct in this assessment, it turns out I love this car. It is very reliable and super spacious. We keep all sorts of baby related items in the trunk at all times and still have plenty of space for groceries or anything else we may need to pick up.

This car was one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. I had it for over 120000 miles with no important repairs, and then sold it to someone fully functioning. It had plenty of room for anything I could throw at it. Being built on a truck frame it felt sturdy. The AWD was great for the snow, and with snow tires it could handle a foot of snow without a problem. Plenty of room for passengers! Power was lacking, but that also resulted in good fuel economy. The spare tire being mounted on the back left plenty of room in the back for anything. I once fit over 150lbs of aluminum beams in that car! Cloth seats held up well, and didn't wear through. I admit I was hard on that car, but I never felt it would leave me stranded on the side of the road, even in the toughest weather.
