Yeah you can fit all that in a CR-V. I don't know about the bike, wheelchair, and the dogs with 3 people though. You're obviously going to have to squeeze the dogs in the 2nd row with one person with them. Then you'll have room for the wheelchair and maybe the bike if you take off the front tire in the cargo area. You could also opt for bike carrier roof rails.

Measure all that stuff before you to the dealer tomorrow to test drive one and make sure everything is square.

Take a wheelchair, kennels, and the bike to the dealer. Also remember that you can purchase attachments for mounting a bicycle to the roof rails if you go with leather trims on a CRV. If you choose an EX, you will need to mount a bike to the rear hatch.

thanks, we test drove the '16 CRV and it was pretty good. but we ultimately decided to wait for the 2017 to come out since it will be a complete overhaul of the current ugly body style. plus, i've been reading up on the rumors and apparently there might be a hybrid model which would be nice. plus options for a 3rd row.

and as of now you can only get honda's safety features "honda sensing" on the top end CRV "touring" model which is already over 32k, to which point we'd be better off getting the 2nd tier pilot for around the same price with honda sensing. but with the '17 CRV it should be an added option for a little extra.

Yes it will change his outlook on life. After a year of living there for work I told my family in the U.S., that they were lazy and soft, and I would never help them again.

I got idiots in my family that look down on poor people, and they never had a real job or paid bills.

The PI opened my eyes to anew reality. In the U.S. We got people who can't see opportunities, and guys in the PI praying for the chance to shine.

Chicano's too. I am rough on my own family. Start at home right?

thanks for detailed breakdown. the 3rd row isn't needed anymore as we aren't doing a daycare thing anytime soon. when the time comes we will trade in this vehicle for a 3rd row option one if needed.

under typical driving scenarios i can see 2 occupants and one wheelchair that will stay in the car 24/7 for my aunt who is handicapped.

a loaded driving scenario would be 2, maybe 3 occupants, 2 dogs (one large, one small), the wheelchair, and a bike preferably being inside, however i'm aware that a bike rack might be a better option.

yes i like the CX5 but the cargo area is too small, mazda didn't utilize the cargo area correctly considering it's the same length as both the rav4 and crv which both have better storage capacity.

with that being said,we'll probably go with the CRV which rates higher than the Rav4, even though the Rav4 imo looks way better. one major flaw of the rav4 is the fact that there are no air vents in the back. so you have to waste the vents in the front to point them to the rear instead of having them point at the driver/passengers. we are going to test drive one tomorrow.

thanks again,

Look kid, find what works best. Get a folding bike. You seem like one of those guys that will tell the engineers that designed the vehicle that they did it wrong.

Additionally, your selection criteria is very complicated. You will never be satisfied. No matter what you buy, you will wish you chose something else.

Get an escalade or another big SUV.

Dogs, bike, people, wheel chair, storage space, but not too much, unless you need it.you need an adjustable car. That morphs into what you need at that moment.

Here is my stereotype: many young dudes like you are fools.

i'm sorry that i have a handicapped member in my family who will be constantly riding with us. i'm very sorry that i'm only accommodating her needs as a disabled person. maybe i am a terrible person for doing that, like you say? maybe i should just get a terrible car that won't fit her wheelchair and make her walk everywhere?

at least it will please you,right?

No, you got me wrong kid, I bought a van with a lift for my mother who can no longer walk. My sister drives it, and picks up my 78 year old aunt who has mobility issues. I bought it used and I didn't care how the **** it looked, or if my bike would fit and crap like that.

I am glad you are doing the right thing, but **** or get off the pot. I bought a used vehicle for my mom, not for me, or how it looked. You are a kid.

Go on eBay and find the right vehicle without thinking about how you look in it.
