Traded my ‘17 EX-L Hatch in Aegean Blue for a CRV EX-L in Molten Lava Pearl. Loved the HB but also love everything about the new CRVs.

This is the best car forum around, & I’ll probably still check out the posts & garages occasionally. ✌❤ Best wishes to all

I am thinking about replacing my other Civic ('05 LX) with a compact SUV like the CR-V. How's the 1.5T in the CR-V? The 1.5T is nice in my hatch, but it weighs a lot less than the CR-V. I'm also weary about Honda's AWD system.

The AWD system is fine, the bad thing is Honda puts shitty tires on their cars now, as does every brand.

The 1.5T is good in the CRV. Not as peppy as the Civic but it can hold its own.

I'm driving my CRV daily now and I drive economically for the most part, always in Eco mode and I'm getting 32.5mpg!
Yeah, I'd invest in winter tires as well. Tires always make a big difference!

For me, it's between the Forester, 2019 RAV4 or CR-V. Not in any hurry, so we'll see.

The 1.5 is fine, vehicle is just heavier. My husband had an HRV and traded for an 18 CRV EX because the HRV is underpowered. I loved it so got my own, but a used 17 EXL w/ 12k.

My Civic averaged 37 mpgs. I’m getting 34 in the CRV. I missed an SUV and love the features on the CRV and the looks—wasn’t a fan of the previous model’s back end.

I’ve had a 2006 Civic, Accords, an Acura, and a 2007 CRV. All have been terrific vehicles.

Looks great! I ordered the chrome fog light brows for mine but that’s all so far. My husband added the piece on the back under the window, under the fog lights and back side trim pieces.

We also got a CRV in the family for a good price. The car actually has lots of space, sitting in the back my legs are not cramped. Gas-wise we get around 32-34mpg. It's a good car, but the space is definitely a lot plus better mpg than others for SUVs.

We looked at the HRV, but for just a few thousand the CRV is better value than the HRV IMO.
