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 |

I owned an Accord for 13 years and few problems. To me, Honda means reliability and problem-free ownership. 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 |

This is our 3rd Outback and 10th Subaru with ours and our kids. We love Subaru's. Safety was the reason we purchased our first Subie, a '95 Legacy, for our daughter. All wheel drive and the other safety features of Subaru sold us. We still feel like our Subaru's give us an edge in any unexpected unpleasant situation on the road. When Subaru came to the U.S., it was known for quirky fun vehicles. The Subaru's of today remain fun, but a lot of the quirkiness is gone. In design and execution, they seem more mainstream now. Our Subaru's have been reliable. The all wheel drive system seems bullet proof and with one exception the engines have been the same. Our '99 Outback has had an overheating gremlin. With normal maintenance a Subaru can be trouble free. see full Subaru Outback review |

I take care of my own vehicle maintenance, and I like the reputation for longevity that the drive-train, engine components, and suspensions have. I do regular oil changes with Mobil 1 synthetic, and get 200K miles out of my cars. see full Subaru Outback review |
