Honda CRV - Wallingford,CT

I have a 2009 and I really like it. My husband can't stand it b/c it doesn't have a lot of power plus its really noisy inside. I sit in the back with the baby while my husband drives and if we're on the highway, we can't have a conversation unless we're kinda shouting b/c the cabin noise is pretty high. The power thing doesnt bother me too much but the noisiness is annoying. That beign said, I still like it a lot b/c its got a lot of space and it has high safety reviews. Overall, I think its a good buy.

I have an older one (2005) and love it. The body style has changed, but I've always loved this car. It's very safe, rides well, and I can pack it full of books that I sell. People are amazed how much I can get in it! I get just over 22 mpg in average driving, and about 25 highway.
I do like the Element for it's extra door, ease of cleaning and roominess. I would probably have gotten it to begin with, but didn't like the "boxiness" of it at the time.

I have a 2007 and I love it. Gas mileage is about 23 day to day and up to 28 on the highway.

I have an 05 also, and when I have to replace it I will get another. I haven't been in the newer ones, but other people I know who love CRVs say they are great. The blind spots in mine are actually really good, at least for me. Blind spots are always an issue for me since I'm only 5'2. My gas mileage is 22-25 I think. At the time it was the best in its class for gas mileage for all wheel drives (I needed the all wheel which lowers the mileage). The only complaint I have about it is that you can hear road noise a little more than most cars, it isn't super quiet. But when I needed new tires I got a little better that what it came with originally, and that helped a ton.

I have the 2008 and love it. It sits on an accord frame, so it rides more like a car than a truck. Highway driving is very smooth. I drove from DC to Dallas TX and it was a very smooth ride and I got about 28 mpg. Most of my driving now is local and I average about 23 mpg. The one thing I don't like is the navigation system. It is great if you have an exact address, but if you are looking for something by name that is close by sometimes it gives me a location in another state as the closest one to me, for example, there is a Starbucks on every corner, but it will say the closest one is in California, 2000 miles away. My favorite feature is the back up camera. I will never get a car without one, or I will have one installed. It doesn't replace looking back, but there have been instances in parking lots where I looked back and didn't see cars or people and when I started to back out, I saw them in my camera. I have the top of the line one with all the options and it was about $30,000 in Virginia. When I had family visiting, I was able to get my Britax Boulevard Carseat which is huge, and two booster seat bottoms in the back seat.

I have a 2010 and I love it, I have nothing bad to say about it! I drives beautifully and I have plenty of room for the kids and any gear. Get one!

I have a 2007 and I love it. Some of the things I like
the interior is well designed
the back cargo area is very roomy and holds alot
my daughter is 6ft tall and fits in the backseat

Yes, it has a few blind spots. But it's not that bad.

There's a program that calculates your gas milage, it usually says I'm getting 22 to 23. Personally I think I'm getting closer to 25.

I have an 08 Element - LOVE it! Rubber floor, 8 airbags and seats that recline to beds!! I really love the seats reclining, because I can angle a forward facing car seat in such a way as to protect my son from whiplash. Great little car!
