We have just bought this vehicle March 2017 new costing £37.600 with every extra available sensing etc etc. I have never had a Honda always M Class Toyota Audi but i have to tell the viewers it is without doubt the best built, best ride, best practicality its the 160 bhp 9 speed auto. It is incredible to drive does everything you could need.... Unlike the reviewer it is an absolute doddle to work the touch screen sat nav phone etc not difficult at all..the keyless entry and memory seats are an absolute god send. The exon lights are incredible and when they light up the side of the road when you turn not a gimmick but very useful...If you are thinking of a Crossover this is the one its built better than all the other vehicles I have owned and whats more its a nice place to be in.

I bought mine used with every extra added and looks exactly like the one in this video! In comparison to what else is out there with similar spec, it's a fantastic car. My only annoyance with it is the economy at speed. Because it's such a big car, it tends to drink fuel quickly on a run. But otherwise, a fantastic car and better than the newer hybrid models that struggle to match the economy of the diesel.

Everyone is obsessed with diesel! I found the 2.2 i-DTEC has a fair amount of turbo lag and was also very noisy at tick over. I can't comment on the 1.6 diesel as I never test drove it but for a car this size and weight I feel a 1.6 will be working rather hard. The 2.0 petrol can still shift if you put your foot to the floor, it just doesn't feel like it because of the linear manner upon which it accelerates. It's a far more refined and relaxed drive which suits this car. The CRV was never about performance, get a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT if you want all out performance in an SUV at similar money but be prepared for woeful reliability. I do wish Honda offered the 2.4 petrol in the CRV in the UK though.

Dear Mat, I like your reviews and therefore I'm reluctant to criticise, however...... there are three errors in this review. Firstly at 2:13 you say that the range topping EX costs £35,000 and you seem astonished by the high price. Well no one pays that. One well-known online car dealer delivers an EX to your door for £26,001 (for the manual petrol). Even the EX automatic diesel 160 you are testing costs only £28,579. And amazingly, the bottom of the range S trim manual petrol costs only £20,128. Secondly, at 5:51 you say that you only get the automatic emergency braking on the top trim level. Not true! All trim levels get the city brake system. Thirdly, you say that both diesel and petrol automatics get the weird gear selector knob. Not true! The petrol model has a very conventional auto gear knob. Also do you think it may have been worth mentioning that 3 of the 4 trim levels get a reversing camera as standard?

I've always loved hondas and it's no different with the CR-V. Yeah it can be a little more expensive than the competition but it's one of the biggest and most spacious CUV in it's class! Plus the almost unrivaled combination of solidity and comfort you get from hondas. I personally might opt for the CX-5 just because i like this current gen's overall package better, but hopefully the next gen CR-V gets stuff from the newer civic. That would be a gem.
