This is our 3rd Honda. We've had a Civic and I traded an Element in for the CR-V. They last forever and maintenance is inexpensive. The CR-V is by far my favorite of the bunch. The Green Tea color is beautiful and the interior looks like it came from a much more expensive car. I chose the cloth interior, since leather gets too hot in Florida, but the leather looks fabulous too. The EX cloth is upgraded from the LX cloth and has a more luxurious look and feel.
The seats are comfortable and supportive in all the right places. There is a Fuel Efficiency gauge on the dash display and my gas milage is running about 28 MPG combined, because I try and keep the fuel efficiency over 30 MPG. This means I am coming to speed slower than I used to and driving the speed limit, but when I want to pass, the power is there. It's no hot-rod, but when I put my foot down, it will giddie-up. It's the perfect height too. I have good visibility, but I'm not obnoxiously high. There is plenty of cargo room and the optional hard cargo cover provides a solid shelf, so you don't have to put everything in one big pile. Loads of leg and shoulder room too. The back seat is roomy enough for even tall adults to sit comfortably and the seats recline.
The stereo in the EX is great and come with either Sattelite radio or a 6 CD changer.
