Car Buying Advice - Comparison - 2017 Honda Cr-V EX or 2017 Subaru Forester Prem+Eyesight

joechip

Hello,

We are trying to choose between a 2017 Honda Cr-V EX or 2017 Subaru Forester Prem+Eyesight.
Below are our pros and cons:

Honda Pros:
More interior features
Modern interior
Steering feels great
Honda Sensing might be a little more advanced than Eye-Sight now?
Mileage
CarPlay

Honda Cons:
Awful rear corner visibility

Subaru Pros:
AWD - not needed everyday but will be great when we drive to the mountains
Great visibility

Subaru Cons:
Reliability (Honda has Maintenance Minder but Subarus have oil issues?!)
Mileage
No CarPlay
Insurance quote has been higher
Maintenance will be more expensive?

Would appreciate any words of wisdom!

Thanks,
Jolyon
