gf wants a newer suv, dependable, efficient seats 5

They are good. The weakness is in the rear diff. You have to make sure you change the Honda Dual Pump fluid more than they recommend. I change the GF's every 15K which works out yearly. I think Honda recommends way less often.

What years were you looking at? I know a few people at work that have them.

The CRV would be the most seamless transition from the Civic, assuming she likes the Civic.

Based on the same platform as the civic so the size is similar as well.

If you are looking at the CR-V, check out the Element just for the heck of it. It's the exact vehicle mechanically. It's not the prettiest car but it will be a lot cheaper than a CR-V and actually is a very useful vehicle if you transport a lot of stuff in your car. Like I said before, my GF has one and it is one of the most functional cars I have been around. It is very tall inside so you can put bikes in it standing up.

I rarely drive my boss's Element, but when I do, it always takes a second or 2 to feel comfortable driving it. The lower center console/dash mounted gear shift and high seat position take a second to get used to . I do like the non-typical style of fold up and out of the way rear seats.

IIRC everything below 6inches+/- off the floor is waterproof to make cleaning it out easier, and some had waterproof seat covers standard.
