Considering CR-V. What do I need to know?

So I’m looking at a new vehicle. It’s between the RAV4, CR-V and Outback. I’m looking at higher trim levels and most likely hybrid. Not sure on FWD or AWD. I intend to drive each but I’m looking for honest input from current owners.

  • things you love
  • things you hate
  • recommended trim level
  • known maintenance issues to watch for
  • real world MPG
  • overall value

  • bonus if you compared same vehicles I’m considering before buying

  • why pick over the others?

Thanks.
