What Car? says
For The CR-V drives well on the road. It's also very reliable and spacious inside
Against It has limited off-road ability, and there's too much grey plastic in the cabin
Verdict
It's a fine family car – just stick to the Tarmac
Go for… LS cars
Avoid… ES Executives
- 1. Apart from using too much drab plastic, the cabin is hard to fault
- 2. Four-wheel drive only kicks in when the system detects the front wheels slipping; otherwise, it runs in front-wheel drive
- 3. Suspension bushes and brake discs may need attention after about 50,000 miles
- 4. The CR-V makes a fine alternative to a conventional estate car
- 5. There's more rear legroom than in a Toyota RAV4
