2011 Honda CR-V in Taffeta WhiteTruly missed my 2008 White Vibe with the cladding and searched and couldn't find another, so I got the next closest thing considering room, versatility, and etc. I got a good deal (decent amount below MSRP)....

Traded one Vibe?At one time you could have had a CR-V with a stick... sadly that's just one more vehicle that's no longer on any list of possibilities when the time comes to get something else.Nice ride though! And we need more pics!!! Where's the garage thread???

List of things I have noticed between the Vibe and the CR-V:Pros:1. Better fuel mileage - as far as I can tell2. When from wipers are on and put the car in reverse, the rear wiper automatically goes on3. Power windows, man did I miss those4. Sitting up higher, missed that5. A lot more cargo area6. Arm rest built into the seat and it is paddedCons:1. May miss the all-wheel drive2. No Fog Lights - will have to add them on later3. No outside temp sensor4. No Automatic Headlights - miss this aleady5. It is not a Vibe - truly miss the Vibe (not the issues that I kept on having over-n-over again which is why I got rid of it) - should of NEVER got rid of my 2008 Frosty Two-Tone

Nice ride! Im definitely considering the CRV as my next car. Great gas mileage for a larger vehicle. My neighbor has one & let me drive it around the neighborhood. I loved it. I also like the RAV4....but the CRV has a way better looking interior. The RAV4 interior is kinda quirky to me LOL. How is the interior noise on the highway??

How is the interior noise on the highway??Interior noise on the highway is not bad at all, a lot of it I believe is due to the crappy tires that come from the factory - it seems there is decent road noise from the tires. It is better than the Vibe, which is not quiet on the x-way - I never minded the noise with the Vibe though, so

Some pictures of the interior, I ordered some floor liners from Kramer of America called MaxLiners, they are similar to the WeatherTech Floor Liners, but I only paid $106.00 shipped for the 1st/2nd rowDo not mind my $0.5 cent seat covers

2nd Picture Do not mind the Rejex.... Yes, after talking about it for almost 6 years now, I finally picked up a bottle of it to see how it works on the rims/front end to keep brake dust/bugs off. - still haven't gotten to putting it on yet

3rd picture of the floor liner in the 2nd row, all 1 piece. I ended up purchasing OEM Weather mats and then decided to get these for the other 3 seasons. I ended up staying with an OEM Cargo Liner as it allows access to the cargo tie downs, but may pick up a WeatherTech Cargo liner as it covers MORE area in SOME areas, but COVERS up the cargo tie downs NOT allowing access
