| I like the Subaru. It's so cute. CRV is slightly cheaper with better gas mileage. We'd be buying used in any case. Thoughts? |

| We went with the Mazda CX-5, which is the sightly cheaper Mazda version of the CR-V. Happy with it so far. |

| Search for other threads on this topic. I'm surprised you think the Subaru is cuter. I thought it was clunkier. |

| Subaru has 4 wheel drive, which is nice. We really liked ours, although eventually we got a smaller car. |

| Is Honda still leaps and bounds more long term reliable than subie? |

| The Subaru Forester is the number 1 lesbian car in the US. (Not the there's anything wrong with that) Just google it. |

| I think the crv gets more baseline features included (Bluetooth, back up camera, etc) or it did a few years ago when we were looking. Love the crv. |

Forrester drives better and is more appealing. The CRV has that tapered rear window which looks odd.

We got a CX-5 too, and love it. It's the Touring edition (much better engine and features than base model, still great price). I believe it came out 2 years ago, so OP should be able to find used models if interested. |

| I didn't like how the Mazda drove. How about the Subaru Crosstrex? I think it's actually a pretty attractive car. It's like the hatchback impreza but with a higher suspension. |

I had a CRV for a decade and loved it. Worked great in snow. I even took it off road. Never had any mechanical problems.
My mom has always had Foresters and ALWAYS has problems with them. FWIW |

| We bought a 2015 forester almost 2 years ago. Liked it far more than the crv. Better visibility, gas mileage, pick up, and the car saved our lives in a horrific car accident (bought the same exact one again). With either you are probably better off buying new rather than a few years used, as the used inventory is slim and barely discounted. You can get a Subaru for ~4% below invoice if you work a few days on it. |

| We've done both Honda and Subaru (but not those models). Love, love, love the Subaru. |
