You've been sold a line by a car salesperson. It could be
the safest vehicle among SUVs, but "the safest vehicle ever"
is hype.

25 mpg is mediocre gas mileage.

Just admit you have yuppie inclinations; have no need for a
truck (not that the CR-V is a truck) nor something to take
rock climbing (not that the CR-V is suitable for this,
either); but just want to follow the sheep; be fashionable;
and try to make up with looks and ridiculous spending habits
what you lack in substance and an inner life.
