And the gas mileage is amazing. The storage space definitely isn't huge but it's never really been a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015714 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 17:03:20 +0000 chanada 2015714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 2002 model as well. </p> <p>Currently we have a Britax Marathon car seat installed and we bring the BOB stroller in the trunk sometimes. We don't drive too much, but it is great for groceries with a toddler and also camping and road trips! We'll be fitting another car seat in once our second one arrives in a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015710 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 17:00:59 +0000 loveisstrange 2015710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an 05 and owned a 98 before this one. I love it and Id totally buy another one!</p> <p>Mine is the basic model, so I dont have all the extras... which would be nice, but its a totally reliable, safe car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015682 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:53:09 +0000 jhd 2015682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love ours. We have had it for 3 years now. We have an 8 month old LO and it's been great with around town and travel. My dad just bought his 3rd c-rv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015660 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:46:08 +0000 BSB 2015660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before my 2013 CRV, I had a 2004 Accord. I definitely love my CRV. I feel so much safer in my car than the Accord. Maybe it's the AWD, the backup camera (I don't rely on it but it's good to have) or that I'm sitting higher up than my accord. I got the remote start so I can warm it up when it cold. I tote my two dogs, though when we have a LO if we can put our dogs in the back. </p> <p>I love that my car insurance premiums went down even though I got a brand new car. First brand new car for me. I've always purchased used until my CRV. CRVs are known to have very low insurance premiums. </p> <p>I do wish my CRV had turn signals on the side mirrors, the ability to save seat settings, keyless start. Those are all premium features but I can still dream. I do believe you have these options in the 2015 version. </p> <p>If we are blessed with twins with my FET and still want to travel with my two dogs, I probably will have to upgrade. (Though there are ways to get more storage like roof storage.) I will be so sad, though, when I trade in my CRV. I thought this car would be my forever car or at least have it have it paid off before I trade it. I don't like how big the Pilot feel when they drive. I like what the Pathfinder looks like, I'm hoping in 2016 the Pilot will be redesigned to be less boxy and look more like the Pathfinder or Highlander. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015654 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:44:21 +0000 Pirouette 2015654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love ours! so easy to get LO in and out, tons of space around the car seat, and the trunk space is great (i've packed it full of stuff when moving and fit SO MUCH stuff!) i also used to have a 2 door civic and loved it...hondas are great cars :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015635 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:39:23 +0000 snowjewelz 2015635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love our 2014 CRV! Good on gas, safe, AWD for winter, good truck space.. Right NW we have for Britax B safe installed in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015634 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:37:32 +0000 autumnlove 2015634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 2002 that I like a lot! The trunk is very roomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015588 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:17:19 +0000 catomd00 2015588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like my 4 door accord had more space then the crv (my sis has it and also just had the engine replaced, but generally Hondas are known for lasting!). I love my cx-9 though! (They have smaller versions, as well.) Nissan makes a few different sized "SUVs" that I have always heard good things about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015573 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:10:32 +0000 Radish 2015573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the older version and I like it a lot, but if I were going to get a new small SUV (and we recently went car shopping to check them out) I would go with a Nissan Rogue over a CR-V. It just didn't have all the features other small SUVs tend to have at similar price points and the seats were really uncomfortable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015568 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:08:39 +0000 Ginabean3 2015568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we LOVE ours!!!!!!! Super easy to get in and out of. Plenty of room for everything we need. (Currently just me, DH, and LO). Diono Radian carseat fits easily in there and I can still sit two adults back there! I can fit my UB Cruz AND my BOB in the trunk at the same time while using the little divider tray that comes with it. If I'm know I'm going to need more trunk room, I just bring my little umbrella stroller and there's still plenty of room for groceries, etc. Easy to parallel park (we used to live in the city), have recently driven it up to Big Bear in snow. Maintenance is affordable. No complaints. I'm not a big gadget person so I don't miss any of the bells and whistles that other SUVs may have. Oh, we have a 2010, so it's the older model. The new one is probably even cooler! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015555 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:04:06 +0000 blackbird 2015555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh i really like mine a lot. I could use a little more trunk space, but without bumping up to a Pilot, there's no option for that. I just have to make sure i take my stroller out if i want to put stuff in the trunk, too! But i get creative and honestly, i don't go to the mall that often anyways. I wish it had a few more fun gadgets on it (DH has a new Ford Escape and it does)...it sort of amazes me that a 30K vehicle doesn't have auto lift and drop for the trunk. But whatevz. Pretty minimal. I'm really happy with mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-cr-v-owners#post-2015543 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:00:21 +0000 dc yoga bee 2015543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I have a two door 2001 Honda Accord, and have a bad back. I never go into my back seat, so it hasn't been a problem. I'm really concerned about constantly taking baby girl in and out of the carseat in the back. We planned to get a second car once we got pregnant, or moved whichever came first. Baby is coming first! I want something reliable, with good gas mileage, and affordability. This will become my primary car, and my accord will become DH's work car. So, Honda CR-V Owners please tell me what you :heart: or don't :heart: about your CR-V. I have never owned a new car before (let alone a car that wasn't 10years old), so I think I'd actually like to buy a new model! Which is crazy since I know they depreciate as soon as you drive off the lot, but this will be my third car, and I just want to buy a new. The Honda pilot is too big for our city driving! Oh yeah, we have two small dogs, and we *may* have a second in a couple of years. That is a very big *may* :)<br /> Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: We have the Uppababy Cruz stroller, and plan to get the mesa carseat. </p>
