The Honda CR-V is a great all around vehicle. First off, it is very stylish in a classic sense. Even though it is seven years old now, it still has enough of a modern look to it so it's not outdated looking at all. I experience this car as a great all-around vehicle. It handles like a Civic, yet has more cargo space. This fact makes it more functional than the Civic to me. The CR-V handles adequately but will not be mistaken for a sportscar. But it handles just as I would expect a vehicle in this class to perform. Road noise is probably a little on the noisy side compared to more luxury type vehicles; but this is something that is easily adapted to. The style of the car is nice and holds up well over time, but the media/technology presentation of the car is certainly dated at this point. I feel like these features were adequate at the time of purchase but probably not best in class.

The Honda CRV LX is a very solid choice for a mid-size SUV. You cannot get a better value in any other car in its category in my opinion. It is roomy, fun to drive, and good acceleration for a four cylinder which is the only way it comes. I love to drive the car on long trips because of the ease of handling and great gas mileage. The LX is pretty basic, so there are no bells and whistles. The only reason I would trade my car is to upgrade to the EX with leather seats and a sunroof. The style of the car is not the most eye catching, but if you want quality over style, this is the car for you.
