Nothing better than a baby hauler to, you know, haul a baby!  And I like my ribs and collar bone unbroken!  ;D

My wife is 5'1" and I'm 6'1 1/2".  We LOVE the memory seat/steering column/side mirror in our MDX.
I rarely drive the Civic so it's not too big of an issue, but when I move the Civic around the driveway, I now have learned to pull the seat back before attempting to get in.  I CANNOT get in without folding myself to the limit.
Tri-zone auto climate is sweet in the MDX, as well.  My daughter controls the rear one with her foot from her car seat behind the driver's seat.
Rear seat DVD player works wonders for kids for longer trips. 

OH, and the cargo capacity was well-utilized yesterday when kids' battery-operated car lost the battery charge on the way home from a park.  We were able to fit the car behind the second-row seats and go home in comfort.  Otherwise, the battery would have died on the way home and I'd have had to walk home with two young kids while dragging the car on its front wheels.

Congrats!  Enjoy your new ride!  It might be boring but, as you say, it will probably do everything your family will ask of it, especially on longer road trips.

A bit late to the party.
Congrats on the new ride! Perfect babystraller - grocery getter with lots of tech. It will serve you well for the next few years.

Hit 1000km on the CR-V last week. Still enjoying the tech quite a bit, and boy do the 'almost 90-degree' wide-opening rear doors make it easy to deal with the car seat!

Loving the adaptive cruise.  Makes highway driving almost automated when combined with the lane-keep assist system.  Overall fuel economy has been 9.8l/100km, while our road trip (after we passed the 1000km mark) to Falcon Lake and back gave us a fuel economy of 7.5l/100km, with 3 adults plus carseat/child and a full trunk.  Absolutely comfortable on the highway.

One thing I've found annoying is the proximity of the volume knob to the temperature.  I've mixed up the two 3-4 times now.  Just a matter of getting used to it, I guess.  Speaking of getting used to things, I don't think about the CVT anymore.

I'm sure it has automatic climate control so why are you playing with the temperature anyway?  Just set it to the right temperature and leave it forever, unless you are complaining that you are trying to turn up the tunes and instead turn up the heat, in which case just use the volume control on the steering wheel.
