Consumer Reports likes the CR-V.
Car and Driver also likes it, They say that it's not the sexiest thing that your can buy, but it's like buying an electric toothbrush. . . you know that it's the right thing to do.
We've had ours since January and think it is great! We looked at the Equinox and the new Cherokee and even the C-Max. The CR-V lacks some of the jazzy new electronics options available on the Cherokee like collision-avoidance radar, etc, but those add a lot to the price if you buy them and I'm not sure if the Equinox has them available yet. The CR-V might even look a little dated to some people because it doesn't have LED exterior lighting, but usually I'm inside it when it's lit up so I don't care! :)
It does have a Bluetooth capability which works extremely reliably which is more than my Malibu ever could say. It also has fully integrated Pandora and iPod capability which is nice.
More importantly it drives well (we have the AWD model) and it routinely gets >25 mpg when cruising about on back roads which is most of the driving it gets. We were in Houston for a week and the mileage dropped to ~22-23 which didn't seem bad for city driving.
All-in-all we're quite pleased.
