I have driven Hondas for several years due to their affordability and reliability. I made the move from the sedan to the CRV because I was looking for an SUV-type vehicle for its size, 4-wheel drive, and better handling in the winter weather. I purchased the car new and have had a great experience. The gas mileage is great (27mpg overall -- after 140k miles!) and I can go a long time in between oil changes. I wish the trunk space was wider. I have friends with smaller cars that are able to fit things that I can't, unless I move down the back seats. And while the car gets good mileage, the tank is so tiny that I'm filling up all the time which is annoying. Overall, these are reliable cars and this one has not been an exception.

We bought this car in 2011. ItÕs been almost seven years, and it has not given us any problems. I would not purchase same vehicle again but would definitely recommend to a friend. There are many good things about this car. It is four-wheel drive, has the option to have a lock system (which of course we had to pay extra but we had that option) where you can turn on or off the car while sitting at home or office and it is smooth to drive. It is amazing and safe to drive in snow weather. Down side is the color choice. When we bought this car or when it first came out, only three colors were available. I wish we had more color options. Color for interior is good, but again, I wish they had more options. It is automated in many ways, especially keeping in mind the cost and year it came out. It was not too costly and not too cheap either. It is also easy to clean and has lots of space. When you buy an SUV, first thing I would prefer is it has space. Overall, it was a great deal.
