Fords have only given me grief.

| My mom (2013) and I (2017) preferred the crv over the others. I definitely prefer the newer crv to my moms 2013 but it’s sttill a good car. |

THat means you are in a win-win situation. You can’t go wrong with either. |

| We are debating between the CRV and the Escape. I was considering the RAV4 but it has lower ground clearance than the other two and we need to be able to drive the vehicle through some ponding on the road. |

If you just test drive both I bet you will decide easily. For example, I felt far more comfortable in the RAV coming from a sedan, but DH thinks it feels like a marshmallow (ie too light) on the road and the CRV felt more “solid.” |

| I bought a 2018 Ford Escape and I love it! I got the Titanium trim and safety features and the thing is fully loaded and it was really affordable. It handles great. It has a lot of space. |

I had a 2014 Ford Escape Titanium (used) for exactly one year before I couldn't stand it any longer and traded it in for a 2017 CRV. The CRV is significantly more comfortable than the Escape and the interior is so much quieter. The safety feature and mpg is much better in the CRV too. I was getting about 17-22 mpg in my Escape and I'm now getting 24-30 in my CRV. Plus with it being a Honda I am fully expecting this car to go 150,000+ miles. I also really liked how the CRV is bigger than the Escape. It just feels safer all around. I also went from the top trim level in the Escape to the second lowest in the CRV and really only gave up 2 features that I actually used (automatic lift gate and seat memory).
Overall I am incredibly happy with my choice to get the CRV. |

Subaru Forester should be added to the mix. Similar size and features to the models listed in your title. We love ours, would buy another in a heartbeat. |

The CVT (transmission) in the Subaru is garbage. Failure rate by 100,000 miles is estimated to be 15-20%. That's pathetic. |

| Doesn't the Honda CRV have a CVT engine? |

| Love my Honda CRV Touring edition. Had a 15 year old CVR that was rear ended at a red light by a driver not paying attention, went right out and bought another CRV. Reliable, drives well in snow, touring has high end electronics. |
