My wife had a 2009 CR-V (bad idea, dont even go there)
We moved on to a 2011 Tiguan 2.0 tdi and is a massive improvement, rides brilliantly and cabin quality is suitably Germanic. I think it drives really well for an SUV and does deal well with the windy stuff. Pretty expensive though when you start to add leather, sat nav and auto. But definitely worth the price, test drive one if you can.
Happy buying!
