I have always been a Toyota buyer.... I did not like the styling of the new Rav and decided to give Honda a look. Glad I did... Honda and Toyota always seemed to run neck and neck on quality.... now I hear Toyota has slipped a bit. see full Honda CR-V review

All Honda owners that I know LOVE their vehicle, and they all claim their next purchase will be another Honda. This is my first Honda and with only (500) miles on it, I have little, if anything to gripe about. see full Honda CR-V review

People seem to be living in the past in regards to this. Hyundai is probably more reliable than the average brand but people who have never owned one only want to remember the days when they were considered a joke. Most problems I have heard of are only minor in nature. The pulling issue is the only legit one I've read about often and they seem to have fixed that. I've had no issues other than a dead battery which is irritating but not really Hyundai's fault. Really impressive considering this was a completely new design in its first model year. Great warranty makes this a non issue in my opinion. see full Hyundai Sonata review

It does not have the cache of honda or toyota, which will hurt resale. However, at the price paid, and with that warranty, I still like the Sonota. see full Hyundai Sonata review

Well, it still does not have the class. I do not care that much but you specially feel it when you want to trade it in for something else. see full Hyundai Sonata review
