It depends on which model you get. I have a base model which is less than a civic. Not even in your dreams will it compare to an Accord. This '03 CR-V has 230,000 miles and going strong. I have F150, Accord, and Miata. I drive the CR-V. All of my hunting and shooting gear is in the back---yes, it stays covered. There is room--not comfortable--for two on the second seat. If it gets a scratch, I don't worry about it.
If you get the top end model---which it sounds like you are looking at--you will be happy.
