It seems kind of odd that it should be so easy to spend twenty grand. In reality, it wasn&#8217;t that easy as I&#8217;ve been fussing over it for months &#8211; spending that much money makes me very nervous!<\/p>\n<p>I decided on a lease and am trying to figure out if I got a good deal or not. My monthly payments will be the same on this car as on the Civic that I financed 8 years ago. I put more than half down on that car, but this one cost a few thousand more, so I can&#8217;t quite get how the payments are the same. I know I didn&#8217;t get enough for the trade in of my Civic, but I haggled as much as I could stand to.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I like it! I had planned on getting it in a nice sagey green, but the blue was all that was available on the lot. Most importantly, my husband fits comfortably inside and I won&#8217;t have to watch him folding himself up into the front seat like he had to do with the Civic.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband and I walked into the Honda dealership today, signed a few papers and came home with a shiny new CR-V.
