thinking very hard and long about trading the S in for a late model CRV anyone got one ?

 

eSeM and Sazzy both have a CRV

If you do a search there are threads with reviews

 

Sazzy and eSeM both love their CRVs

I bought mine from new 18 months ago, mine is diesel, eSeM's is petrol. The only thing that bothers me is that it takes ages for the heater to warm up on a cold morning but I understand that is a diesel thing and not necessarily a CRV thing.

I can't fault it.

I only have it as I have two children and obviously sometimes need more than two seats.

As far as I'm concerned it ticks all the boxes for what I need.

It was extremely good value

As AE says there are some good reviews on here.

I seem to remember somebody saying that the interior of the new ones scuff easily and I would agree with that but it's not a major issue.

 

thanks AE and saz , did have a go at the search but it chucks up lots of american old stuff The one i looked at today had 23k on it and the interior looked very good but like everything else a second and third look is needed its going to be a big wrench but nothing else tickles my fancy (i must be getting old )

 

Here is a thread

I am now on my second CRV but it is now a third car and we only tend to use it for a few months during winter.

MPG around town aint great the way my wife drives the thing

 

Her indoors has a 10 month old example, and can only echo Sazzy's comments.

And yes the heater takes an age and the interior does scratch a bit easily (I don't know if it's necessarily a diesel as my beemer takes a fraction of the time...).

Beyond that it's been great - excellent in the bad weather and when we do the big trips to the south of France it munches the miles effortlessly.

Hers is the 150ps engine which is a bit more refined than the 140ps version.

 

well the deeds done just have to wait for reg transfer then im S less , it cant be long before a jazz appears on the drive
