My husband and I wanted a small SUV in order to haul things from Ikea, the store, go camping with, etc. etc. without paying a ton for a full-sized SUV or paying a lot for gas. The CR-V was a good fit for us. It can haul a lot (like a full day of shopping at Ikea or Costco), but it's still small enough to fit in parking spaces, easy to drive around in, etc.

It has loads of family friendly features, which makes it a hit amongst our family. My cousin also bought it a year back. Its sporty look is impressive. It has superior fuel economy. Seats are very comfortable, accommodating heavy-bodied individuals. Moreover, there is an ample legroom space at the rear seats further increasing comfort of every family member. Further, large cargo space allows us to shop monthly groceries in one go, which was not possible for us with our previous small car. Safety features are also world class. Rear-view mirror is an added advantage for those who find parking difficult. The doors of the car open widely allowing us to easily install a car seat at the rear seat.
