Had a lift in a new CRV Automatic yesterday.A very smooth and comfortable vehicle.
Gear shift lever on dashboard was a novel sight.
Do these vehicles have any over ride buttons/levers for when the going gets tricky e.g. snow? The owner tells me he bought it for his wife to commute to Buxton, Derbyshire.

I had a 97 CRV which was appalling in snow. It didn't have any land-rover style controls that you mention; it was strictly for shopping malls. The new one may be different.

I think most, if not all, the early UK CRVs were autos. All have a column mounted gear lever, as you would see in the US. I've not driven one but I would imagine you can select 1 or 2 instead of D to get you out of tricky situations.
A lot of soft roaders don't have "land rover style controls". For example, the Freelander 2.5 V6 auto only has a hill descent control ie switching overdrive off.
