I just upgraded from a third gen to a sixth gen. I also think the newer model is harder to see out of. I feel like I can’t park in a parking spot without trying a few times!
Both are great, but they’re not even comparable nowadays.
I know the feeling. I upgraded from a 2003 Honda to a new gen car with all the bells and whistles. I never knew I loved heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
Great red color this year! Congratulations!
Congratulations! How was it driving the new one compared to the old one?

So much smoother. But I miss how much more open the old one was since it’s more boxy.
Congrats on your new CR-V!
That’s my local Honda dealership! I was just there getting our Fit serviced. How was your deal on the CR-V? We might be buying one soon.

I got the hybrid sport with AWD, talked him down from $38k to $35.5k. They said they’re losing money. I don’t know if I believe that. But it was exhausting. I was there looking at the same car over Thanksgiving weekend and got a quote for $34.5k and wasn’t ready to buy yet. I was so annoyed it went up $1k. But I got the 4.49 APR.
A lot of annoying pop-psychology dealer games. I had to talk to two managers.
And I’m a lawyer! So I was just getting so frustrated. Like, what is this show you’re putting on?
@Niall
Is $35.5k OTD or before taxes?
Before. I should have tried harder to negotiate the after-tax amount. Though, it’s not like the tax can change.
I bought a 25’ in red. Love it. Congratulations! The new ones may not take the beatings the old ones did, though.

Yeah, my 1997 could get through hell and back.
Awesome! You are going to love the new one.
I’m trying to get another 1st gen so I can part it out.
Hell yeah, red gang! Love mine. Enjoy!
How cool!! Love the red!! Congrats!!
I had a 2000 CR-V SE. Traded it on for a '09 Forester with low miles back in 2011. I probably should have hung onto it longer; it was a great little car and I miss it.
Congratulations! 
That color is absolutely stunning.
Why did you change? The newest gen sucks.
