The CR-V seems as if was born to park, squeezing into laughably tight, strip-mall spots, shoring up perfectly square to curbs, and swiftly maneuvering through one of Los Angeles’ massive ten-story, subterranean parking garages. You’d almost swear this was Honda‘s top priority when conceptualizing the fourth generation.

I have really enjoyed my little Honda CRV. We bought it used and were a little leery about how long it would last due to the high mileage, but after one year, it is still going strong. Being a four cylinder, the gas mileage is terrific. The engine is very quiet, and it's a smooth ride, so smooth you can easily get over the speed limit if you're not paying attention to the speedometer. Sometimes we get high winds here, and larger SUVs have a chance of rollovers. In my Honda CRV, you can hardly feel the wind blow.
