Hondas are jst getting broken in at 90k!!!

I drove a '98 CRV with about 128,000 miles on it. There are some slightly more expensive maintenence things you need to do (timing belt, water pump, brake rotor replacement, flush the radiator, etc) around the 120K mark, but the cost of those is less than a couple of car payments on a new one.

If you DO go with a new one, check the Element out- when they re-designed the CRV, they made it nicer inside and somewhat more expensive, thus the creation of the Element to replace the previous CRV that was more "young, active person" friendly.

I drive an '07 Fit now (the CRV is still running like a champ, but it went to Minneapolis in the divorce ). It's an awesome car as well, but I'm about to drop ~$500 on a roof rack because I don't want to get the inside dirty with my bike (although two bikes will stack in the back with the seats down, no problem)
