| Price of the Honda CR-V: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Cost was a bit more than the Jeep, but for a less capable snow vehicle. Honda has a good reputation and resale value, but with the lifetime Jeep warranty the Honda was not a contender |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Much more expensive than a Rogue with similar features. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | high price = high monthly payments |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | The crv has a high sticker price compared to other brands of like vehicle. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | no incentives, dealer wanted close to list price. no way i ever pay list, never. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Paying in built-in premium for the Honda brand. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Over 2k more than Grand Vitara which seemed much less cramped in the interior and better styled |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD | Its too much. The interior is some what plain. Not a lot of helpful features like a Message center. |

| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD | $5K or more cheaper than similar G37. $10-20K cheaper than similar BMW. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD | Costs about $10,000 less than comparable AWD sedans. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD | The price for quality and performance is unbeatable compared to anything else on the market in my opinion. I got a good lease deal and the residual is strong as well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | Cheap, AWD, and the best set of features under 20k after negotiation. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | value for money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | Great value for $26,000 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Good value for money especially with in included features. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | I got the car for $7000 under MSRP. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | IMO, the Legacy offers great value. Just around $20,000 will get you a very capable automobile with some nice convenience and/or luxury features. |
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Pricey vs competition. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD | If you buy one of these new keep in mind that it’s going to take a huge depreciation hit in the first couple years, much bigger than other cars in it’s class. |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
One can see that engineers have pull at Honda. No part says "we saved 5 cents on every unit". |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Flawless bodywork and paint job. Excellent fit and finish on everything. Even the plastic pieces seem well made. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Te materials are firm but of good quality on the inside and the outside has great fit and finish as does the inside. The design is simple and functional. After a drive of almost 2000 miles we love it even more. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
The car is solid.... nothing cheap looking or fitting on it. No squeaks or rattles. Controls well placed and thoughts out. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Everything fits, looks nice and has no rattles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
First class fit and finish of materials. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Higher quality than competitors. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
It is a solid car with no items that are likely to break. Doors close with a nice "thunk" Interior trim etc. just feels like quality but with no shiney frills. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
They made it wash out simple |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For a low cost suv things are just fine |

None so far |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
While i am sure the reliability will be outstanding, the fit and finish on the EX model does not compare to the Tiguan. It feels cheaper. I mean common, give us a decent console if I am to pay 30K |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The plastic strip inside the doors looked cheap, as did a lot of the interior. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Interior panels are hard plastic. Lot of problems with the A/C in this model and the brakes have issues. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
Good build quality and reliability track recored. Beautiful white pearl paint work. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The materials in this car are top notch. I am shocked by the number of $50000 luxury cars that have cheaper feeling interiors than this car (the latest BMW 3-Series for example). |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Interior is soft touch almost everywhere and also very subdued in styling unlike most newer midsize designs with gaudy overly designed center stacks and tons of faux wood or aluminum. Car interior quality is comparable to car 10k more expensive. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Equal to cars costing much more |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Subaru has always been a well built car. The Materials and workmanship in the interior rivals Audi A4. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Subaru Legacy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Too many hard plastics on the interior. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Low quality interior materials. |
