Overall reliability

Spacious & comfotable family car that is pleasant to drive.

CRV has now done 25k miles. After first year the clutch was replaced under warranty to cure a slight judder that sometimes occurred. After 3 years the rear differential oil was replaced as this degrades prematurely & causes 4 wheel drive to occur on tight lock. The same thing occurred on our previous model. As we had paid £500 up front for 5 years servicing the garage, Norton Way Honda at Letchworth, did not charge. They also did not charge for replacing diff oil on previous model. I'd be very surprised if differential itself was replaced as reported by other reviewer.

Quality of materials is not as good as previous model but OK if you are reasonably careful.

The drive is better than previous model & its is more economic with 30 mpg local running around & 35 mpg on longer motorway journeys.

This is our second CRV & no doubt we will replace it with the next version in a couple of year’s time
