Awesome Japanese quality with innovative seating

I got this car as i need 4 seats on a regular basis and 6 as an exception.

Got a diesel one as I like the lower end torque and MPG...

This has more than met my expectations. 2.2 CDTI is a peach of engine which can be remapped like the civics and Accords...This is probably the only vehicle from Honda stable which was manfactured in Japan..

Yes CRV has the looks but FRV is more practical as I do not need a 4 WD and attendant complications but need 6 seats though occasional and i do not like the idea of 2 seats in the boot which most 7 seaters have...

The Stick shift is on the dash board and Umbrella Handbrake below it seems funny initially but when you get used to it you wonder if it is not the right place ergonomically??


Shame Honda stopped manufacturing this but can not recommend enough.

Heard that Honda goofed up on the Clutches when they introduced diesel but mine seems to be holding fingers crossed..
