This is a picture of my husband sitting on the sidewalk in front of our house. It is taken with my new Navigation system and camera!! How cool is this? I throw my new vehicle in reverse, and it shows me what is behind me on this lovely screen inside. In this case, it is my husband that was behind me. This camera kept me from backing up over the curb and running him over. Well, not really, but this is just one of the cool features of our new Honda CR-V EX-L w/Navigation. The navigation system worked great on the way home, and we were very impressed with the detail. This is going to help me many times I'm sure.
We've been thinking about buying a new car for awhile and today we took off a day of work and did just that. I've been researching for a while. I really liked the Subarus but wasn't impressed with the lack of backseat leg room. I wanted AWD, comfortable seats, and a sedan-like feel. Oh, and leather seats and moonroof were a perk. One day after looking up the competitors of the Subaru Forester on http://www.edmunds.com/ (love this site!) I decided to just take a look at the Honda CR-V. I noticed there were very few negative comments about this car. It had everything I wanted, and everything I didn't need. I also really liked the newly designed 2007 body style. To make a long story short (if it isn't already too late), we bought this vehicle today. I will say this.... this is my first foreign car, and it better live up to its reputation. I did feel a pang of guilt today for turning this new leaf.
To my old Buick: I don't blame you for giving us terrible trade-in value. I'm sorry your Low Coolant light has been on for 18 months, I hope you will find someone to fix that. I will always love you and remember that you were my first real car purchase that I did all by myself in TX. You were worth every penny and I enjoyed our 6+ years together. Take care of yourself and don't let that nasty Honda salesman or anyone put you down for being an American car. Stand tall.
