Fantastic!

I’ve now had this car for over a year and a half and it’s done 42,000. In that time, it’s done everything from a 100 mile a day commute, high speed on the Autobahn and off road in Italy. It's a very easy drive, especially with long distances in Europe.
The CR-V was not the car I’d intended to purchase however having looked at the market I choose on a number of points: a reliable car (my friends Honda is running fine at 16 years old!), large enough for me legroom wise (I’m 6’4”) but small enough for my wife (5’9”) and due to the nature of my work some AWD capability if I needed to be on the roads at 2am in winter (it happens).
The car has done admirably and the only issues with is have been swiftly resolved by Doncaster Honda in no time at all (I can’t fault them). The car has had a couple of minor issues (nothing that could not wait till a service) like tweeters.
As for reliability the car cannot be faulted.
Parts costs are far lower than my previous Ford.
An issue I have found is that the electronic fuel gauge and fuel tank don’t add up. On the central console it will be showing 44mpg however my calculations have shown it to be 5mpg higher. Another bug bear is the fuel tank capacity and when the gauge shows empty has a difference of quite some litres (don’t have the figure to hand). I’m not sure is this is to cover a hill climb and making sure the fuel pump is covered – however if you’re in the Netherlands for a week or two I’m sure you can run on red for a bit. The car has Shell fuel most of the time.
If you buy this car I’d recommend the purchase of a full size spare wheel (it means the boot floor does not fit back as it should – about a 4” gap) as the thought of such a heavy vehicle on a space saver, on a motorway does not bear thinking about when doing high mileage!
As my first Honda I’ve been very happy with the marque and the dealer and I’m not regretting moving away from Ford.
