This is geared toward the current or former owners of each of the vehicles listed in the title.
I am in the market for a used 2014 or 2015. After much deliberation I have narrowed my choices down to the 2 vehicles. The year may vary depending on price and mileage but these two will fit the bill for what I am looking for.
Each model has it's strengths and weaknesses for my needs. In the used market, you make your choice. I am currently temporarily driving a 2017 Journey. It is a nice vehicle and ride with the 3.6L. I have tested a CR-V EX with the standard 2.4L and the vehicle exceeded my expectations.
I wish to do my own basic maintenance as far as brakes, struts, spark plug and air filter changes, etc. A radiator change or something similar has also been considered to be a DIY job in the past. I do not intend to do major repairs myself. Most of my driving is my daily commute of 30 miles, 2 lane blacktop and 40 miles of freeway for a total of 70 miles. 4 months of the year is in the Michigan winter so AWD or selected 4 wheel drive is a requirement.
Based on the above, for those of you who have experience with one or both of the above vehicles, what did you find you liked or loathed about each vehicle? At this stage, I am all about a comfortable, quiet, trouble-free drive to work and home.
Thank-you for your input.
