I drive a black 2005 Honda CR-V. My Mom and I share it. We got it because she had a Civic (hybrid..yep, we traded a little hybrid for an SUV [&o]) with a manual transmission, I'd just gotten my license (well, six months earlier..what can I say, I'm stubborn), and I wouldn't drive the Civic because I got too frustrated (you try learning to drive a manual in Southern California, where you have to stop and go every 50 feet).
Buying the CR-V was about the worst financial decision we could have made. Not only did her car payment jump about $130 a month, but the gas mileage is ridiculous. I pay for the insurance and most of the gas, she pays the car payment. Not exactly fair, but if you adjust for income, I pay way more than my fair share! [

Aside from gas mileage, I love the CR-V. I wish it were a different color (I really wanted green, my Mom really wanted blue..and we ended up with black. Still confused about that), but really, it's a great little truck. Lots of cargo room, very versatile interior, drives well. It's comfy and convenient. We're losers though and have just over 16000 miles on it. Bought it July 23rd, 2005. That's pretty sad.
