I purchased the Honda CR-V for many reasons. It gets great gas mileage for a vehicle of its size; I average 28 miles per gallon. The interior of the vehicle is perfect for two adults, two medium dogs, and plenty of camping and hiking gear. In addition, the interior is very stylish; it has a two tone black and beige coloration with burl wood accents. The vehicle is very quiet both internally and externally - there is little to no road traffic audible from the inside and you can barely hear the motor running when you are outside the vehicle. It is extremely reliable, as I have driven my CR-V approximately 100,000 miles over the past seven years and had no problems or reason to take it to a shop except for standard maintenance (new tires, oil change, replace air filter, etc.).

I purchased my CRV after the birth of my son. I knew I didn't want to buy a mini-van and I wanted something more than just a sedan. A CRV was perfect for me. I love the interior room, how it handles, and I really enjoy how high up I sit. Stylistically, I love the look of my car. It's slightly sporty but practical at the same time.
