I have owned my CR-V for about 5 months now, and my family and I love it! The interior components of the car (window locks, automatic settings, etc.) have been life savers with two young children. The back seat is also spacious enough to have both car seats fit with plenty of room to spare! The car drives very smoothly and handles turns and heavy rain well. We bought the car from a family member who bought it new, and it has never needed any major repairs in its 10 year life, which is fantastic. It also gets great gas mileage. We have taken a 1,000 mile cross country trip with it since getting it, and even when carrying a mountain bike mounted on the back it performed wonderfully. All in all, it's a great car.

I knew before I made my purchase that the CR-V was the car I wanted. I needed a slightly bigger car than my Civic Hybrid in order to do more and go more places. Hondas are already high quality vehicles, and I've known several CR-V owners, current and previous, who loved their vehicles. While it's a larger vehicle than a sedan, it's not excessively large like a full sized SUV or minivan.
