This is the first car that I have owned after driving several different family car models, and I have enjoyed its combination of comfort and practicality. It is quite roomy, good for myself as the driver and my friends who ride in the passenger's and back seats. The most useful feature has been the large trunk size, which I can expand by easily folding up the back seats. I have had to move several times in the past year, and I couldn't have done it without a car like this with a great amount of room for cargo. The car looks nice on the inside and out but can still handle all of the long distance driving I do. I especially like the quality of fabric lining the seats and interior space, a cloth-like fabric that stays somewhat cooler in the heat outside. There are only two features I find lacking in this model. First, it would be great if the model I have featured four wheel drive, but since I live in a relatively warm climate I don't have to worry too much about snow or other weather conditions that would make such a feature necessary. I also would prefer a faster acceleration capacity for highway driving, like that of a Toyota Rav-4 with a V6 engine that my parents drive.

I love this car! I have had it since about 2010 and it has lasted me 5 years. I got it when it had 90,000 miles on it, and it now has 260,000 miles on and is still running. There were two recalls that came in the past two years for something with the airbags and something with the mechanism in the windows. I haven't had any issues with either, but Honda will repair the recalls for free. My version of the CRV has a table in the trunk. The amount of room that is in this car is amazing it can haul so much. I wish that mine had racks on it and I do wish it had 4 wheel drive so I could really push it to the limit! But overall this baby is a beast. It's got 260,000 miles on it and does not feel like it is going to give out anytime soon. I'm going to drive this thing into the ground. If you have a family this is a great car, it has 5 seats and plenty of trunk space and the seats fold down so you can haul even more stuff. My ac went out last year but other than that it has been a fantastic car and I would recommend it to everyone and to get the little upgrades here and there that would make a difference.

I was looking for something that I could tote some smaller pieces of wood working and equipment around in, as I am often finding myself in need of transporting materials. I didn't want another sedan, and a truck would have been too much on gas for my current tastes. The mid-size suv was the way to go for me, and the Honda CR-V seemed to fit the bill- and my wallet. It handles smoothly for an SUV, and I've never felt unsafe in the car. Overall, I'd say that it's going to be around for a while.
