Well, the reason I wanted this vehicle in the first place was the fact that it is a Honda. That means one of the biggest pros is that you wont have to worry about it breaking down. I haven't had any issues with the vehicle at this point. It runs great. Another pro is that it gets great gas mileage. Another one of the bigger reasons why I went with it. I knew I wanted something that was a little bigger than my previous Sedan. I like the smaller SUVs because you kind of get the best of both worlds, which is what you get with this model. It has the look of a SUV but the gas mileage of a tiny little smart car. One of the cons is that the cloth interior could be a little nicer. I know I went with the base model but I was hoping although its not leather that I could at least get a cloth interior for the seats that was durable but luxurious at the same time. It does handle very well. When you want to speed up to merge lanes you don't have to worry, although if you are carrying a bunch of people in the car you can tell it isn't as quick. I think the trunk could have a little more space but its probably about right for the model.
