I have an '02 Accord SE, I just found out the car is better than I thought. Here's the deal. I am pretty active sports wize, skiing, golf, rollerblade. Last week I thought about trading in my Accord for a CR-V. I figured it fit me better. I had to bring in my Accord for its 7500 service....so i stop in the showroom and look into the CR-V. Well, I like it, but with my Accord, I open the trunk, and put the skis thru the opening....easy. No hassle with racks, freezing fingers etc....with golf, I keep the clubs in the trunk all summer. Cant do that with the CR-V. Its an invite to a break in....so other than the 4 wheel drive, which is important, and the fact that its a cute vehicle, it does not make a lot of sense. I am not getting that much. These Accords are so well designed. Also, I have a moon roof and alloy wheels which I would not get on the LX-CRV. You have to learn these things.......................
