I like that it has plenty of space to do everything that I need to do. It has a large trunk that I can use for groceries or things that I need for road trips. The back seat is spacious enough for three car seats and I have no issues strapping all of them in. Also, the front seat has plenty of space and plenty of compartments for my things to stay organized. I like that it has 100,000 miles on it and I have only had one major issue: the starter went out which was fairly expensive, but it has been my only issue. I like that it has 4 crossbars so I feel completely safe. I dislike that there was a factory recall on the airbag because it was shooting metal out at people and hurting them, but they were very professional in handling the situation and even gave me a rental car for three months while they fixed the issue. I will never buy anything but Honda.

I did a lot of online research before buying my most recent car. I had a baby and knew we'd have at least one more. I settle on the CR-V because of the high safety ratings and the fact that Hondas hold their value for so long. I wanted leather seats as I thought they would be easier to clean than fabric with young kids (I was right!) The heated seats were great to have in Alaska. My only criticism of the car is that the middle seat in the back is extremely tight when there are two car seats back there. I also with the trunk was bigger. For those two reasons I wish we would have gone with the Honda Pilot, but that was out of our price range. I would definitely recommend this car to friends and hope to keep it around long enough to use as a starter car for my eldest.
