Not sure but definitely something to look into. I’ll be sure to look at the
I need comfortable seats. I drive multi-hour trips quite regularly and Mr R & I are both in the 6’ range.
I have the day off tomorrow and I’m going to check out a few more cars at a friend’s dealership: Chevy Equinox & Trax and a Ford Escape.
If you are looking at Fords, consider also the 2014 or later Transit Connect, if you value more interior room over luxury trimmings like in the Escape. Note that both passenger versions (with back seats and windows) and cargo versions (no back seats or windows) exist.
I bought a new Honda HRV about two months ago and I like it. It is much roomier than it looks. My D has one and she folds down the back seats and hauls her bass (huge musical instrument) in hers. Just drove it 500 miles round trip. It is pretty smooth for a little car and handled the thunderstorm we passed through like a champ.
Due to a variety of different factors, I am down to either a 2015 Honda CRV or 2017 Nissan Rogue SV.
We will make our final decision tomorrow after Mr R test drives them both.
Thanks for your help, everyone.
@romanigypsyeyes The latest Consumer Reports has used car ratings. A 2015 CRV is one of their recommended vehicles and the 2017 Rogue is high on their list, just not “recommended.”
My two nieces who have young babies both bought Rogues and are very happy with their respective vehicles; holds car seats and strollers well, though they don’t tote wheelchairs in addition.
I had to rule out so many cars because of the wheelchair.
Comparisons between the two individual cars:
Rogue is about $3k less. The CRV is more than what I wanted to spend but doable.
Both come with factory warranties still in effect.
Rogue has dark seats, crv has light. With a kid and dog, I much prefer the dark seats lol.
Similar mpg and millage.
They’re extremely similar in most other ways.
I’m lucky to be in a position to be choosy for the first time in my life 
Have you checked the cost of insurance? When I bought my HRV, I considered a Rogue, but insurance on the Rogue was higher. I liked the Rogue, though.
The Rogue is a very nice car. Surely there is a reason their are so many of them on the road - it’s not like they are the most inexpensive car. Good looking and a good value.
@musicmom1215 I checked it for the CRV and sent a message to my agent today asking about the rogue. I’ll get an answer tomorrow morning. Shoot. hope it’s not too much more…
I asked my friend who has both. She had the CRV and wanted to get a 2nd but found the prices on the Rogue to be better. Used CRV sell at a premium. She prefers to drive her CRV, feels it’s a more comfortable seat and has a bit better pick up and go. That is important to her because she has a long commute and a short on ramp for getting on the freeway. Her H and kids drive the Rogue. He mainly drives around town. They like both cars and are happy with both purchases. She said if your interested in resell the Honda holds its value. The Rogue they bought was less expensive, a newer model year and had less mileage over the used CRVs on the market.
Sit in the back of both cars. Once you have a child you might be surprised at how often you end up in the back seat next to the baby.
Agree it’s good to sit in front AND back seats to check for comfort, especially if you predict some long car rides. 
Just read about a potential CRV issue on this thread here.

Thanks again all. Mr R hates driving so I’ll be sure he tests out the back seat 
(I will too but I like driving).
Winner is the nissan rogue.
Thanks again everyone
