Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear.
Cargo space is good given the size of the car, more than enough to carry groceries around and for the occasional trip to the beach.
Not the best but definitely very good.
Got a 15% discount plus 0% commissions in August, right before the 2009 models came out.
