I own a Honda CR-V, the second one I've owned. I was never motivated to buy the same vehicle twice before in my 70 years, but my first CR-V was so impressive that I bought a second one about a year ago. I bought it used with 22,000 miles on it. One reason I replaced my first one was because I wanted the back-up camera. My 2015 CR-V also has a side camera that I love. I always owned sedans or coupes before the CR-V and while they may have been a bit more comfortable, they didn't have the wonderful view of the road and surroundings that the CR-V does. I really feel like I can see what's around me much better and that adds to the safety. I can even use this car as a truck. I have hauled lumber and furniture in it by putting the back seat down to make a bed. It's not as zippy as a sports car but it's plenty responsive. It's not as gas efficient as a sub-compact, but I get 28 mpg on the highway which is pretty good. One of the best features of the Honda CR-V, however, is that it holds its value better than most vehicles. I was happily surprised at the trade-in allowance I received when I bought my second CR-V. I can't imagine a better, all-around car than this one!

The Honda CR-V is the perfect size for large families that are getting smaller each year as their kids get older. We traded in our family minivan for the CR-V and increased our gas mileage and still feel like we can pack up and head out on the trip and not feel like we are riding on the ground in a sedan. The CR-V is not as large as full-size SUVs but gives sufficient trunk space and seating room for four occupants.
