I was at an auto show last year and sat in a new CRV and about a week ago I
sat in a new Element at my Honda dealer showroom. The Element had a more
rugged feel, but seemed cumbersome and hard to manuever by the layout. The
CRV seemed cozy, almost car like. I feel like getting a CRV next time, but
wanted to know some opinions. I live in New England and if we have another
winter like last winter, I will definitly consider the CRV or the like. We
get heavy rains, peasoup fog, blizzards and have poorly lit, windy and hilly
roads, so the need for a safe and capable car/suv is vital in my eyes. I
want a 4 wheel drive and then I was thinking has anyone driven the CRV
without ABS and if that would be a bad idea or not because it already has 4
wheel drive?

Right now I have a Civic, but feel a little uneasy when winter comes, so
thats why I was thinking about an suv.

Thanks,
