I WANT TO RECOMMEND A USED CR-V TO MY SON BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT "WHICH" AND OTHERS HAVE NOT MUCH REGARD FOR THE BRAKES. CAN YOU ADVISE PLEASE.
The 'mark 2' version of CR-V was face lifted in 2005. I believe bigger brakes were introduced as part of the improvements. The brakes are absolutely fine - even when fully loaded.
