Past experience with my 2002 Honda Accord SE.,very durable with little maintenance. I have had this CRV for 3 months only, no issues with maintenance yet . It has 96,000KL.
It feels very sturdy on the road, traction is very good in the snow and ice , it corners well and has a very small turning radius.
The brakes feel a little touchy at first but doe not take long to get used too. I like the air bags front and side air bags.
The leather front drivers seat and passenger is very comfortable,much more so then my 2002 Honda accord se. The leather is cold in the winter but the heated seats help a lot.
I find the ride is much better than my 2002 Honda Accord Se was. It is also quieter than the above also. As you can tell, I really like this CRV so far.
