  • Used cars of the year 13 Oct 2019 (Forum)
    to sell on again. Best SUV £8,000 Honda CRV 2.2 DTEC. It’ll be the Mk III at this money and the next gen is worth paying the extra £2k to get but keeping below £8,000 you’re better with a well kept older car with sensible miles. These are easy to sell on, have loads of room and don’t go wrong often

    the bird around and hunt down R1s, (you wouldn?t believe how much faster a bird goes in a straight line over 140 than an R1) makes up for the minor restriction.
