We purchased a 2018 Honda CRV ExL in the summer because we were looking for a more spacious and fuel efficient family vehicle, that would fit our outdoor lifestyle.

I had done a lot of research on compact suv's and on paper the CRV was one of the vehicles I wanted to actually test drive before making a purchase.

After seeing and driving the CRV, it almost sold itself. I was very impressed with the car and it was a coin toss between the CRV and Subaru Forrester, as to which car we were going to get.

The buying experience from the staff (Erica) at Carter was one of the factors that swayed our decision to purchase the CRV over the Forrester.

There are a lot of Honda dealerships in the lower mainland which gives the buyer a bit of leverage as you have lots of options if you don't like a particular dealership, however I liked the staff at Carter Burrard and was happy with my choice.

If I had any critical feedback, it would have been the extended warranty buying experience after we already agreed on buying the CRV. I felt I had to explain multiple times why we chose to decline any extended warranty coverage and if ever I felt pressured it was during that time.

That all being said, overall, it was an enjoyable buying experience. I'd have no issues recommending Carter Burrard to friends and would most likely go back for any future Honda purchases.
