My dad had a CR-V he liked it, but it had a ton of front wheel drive pull. His wasn't the 4x4/all wheel though so perhaps its different in that. My sister's father-in-law has a new CR-V and the armrest is falling off, definitely a quality control issue. My wife drive a Pilot. It was a way better family vehicle for us due to it's size and comfort. On a side not the back seat of the Equinox made me feel like I was sitting in a church pew, hard seat and way to ergonomically correct seating position for my fat ass.
