Disappointed, better choices out there.

Disappointed! Mileage is dismal even though I drive like an old lady, very conservative on the gas pedal. The ride is not very smooth, feels like an economy vehicle and not like the other H SUV I drove and but decided on Honda for the prestige. AC went out at 55K, on my 2nd set of tires, road noise is annoying and really wish I gotten a better equipped one. Too hot in the summer. I am trading it in later this year for the Hyundai Tucson, which gets better mileage (the 2010 that is out now is 31 on freeway but, am waiting for the Blue Edition, with turbo charged engine and even better mileage) and has more horsepower as well as much more refinement and much quieter ride as well as smoother. Honda steering is better but that is all I can say for the CRV. Don't let prestige fool you, I could kick myself in the butt. *wish I had not driven the new Hyundai as I can't wait to get it! I did like the Subaru and Toy Rav as well and think they also would have been better choices. BMW X3 great engine response but thought the Hyundai nicer interior as well as being bigger.
