Before I bought my 2009 MKX I owned a 2006 CRV AWD that was fully loaded and loved it, in the two years I owned it I spent $5 on a lightbulb and that was it. The resale value was great and I had dealers calling all the time to take it on a trade up. With 4 Nokian snows on it the thing was like a cougar in the snow. Towing was obviously limited and if your tall or larger person then its not a comfortable vehicle. Would I go back again to a CRV, probably not since now I'm spoiled with the MKX.
