CR-V

Additional Info

It's a reputation and an image, but not a car.

Suave, comfortable, handles well and has a great engine. But pricing seems to rely more on past laurels rather than current value. And don't even think abotu off-roading.

Comfort

Ride is bumpy, but the car is refined, smooth and quiet.
Performance

There's a quick 2.4, but even the cheaper 2-litre isn't too bad.
Cool

It gets you respect. But those in the know will tell you, you bought a reputation and image, and not a car.
Quality

Pretty good, premium and all that. But at this price, we would want some platinum and rare metals too.
Handling

Handles well, but steering is lifeless and high speeds its as smooth and as confidence-inspiring as an Airbus.
Practicality

Seating for five, but it's not the kind of car you get muddy in, or muddy with.
Running costs

It's an import, and a petrol. In other words, not the best combination.
