The Honda CR-V generally is a car that inspires loyalty. It may not look flashy like others, indeed to some eyes, including mine, the designers seem to have made a concerted effort to minimise the visual appeal.
There is a whole new world of crossover cars out there like the Hyundai ix35, Kia Sportage, Ford Kuga and of course, the ever popular Nissan Qashqai and Range Rover Evoque that are increasingly exciting buyers.
You get to learn a lot about a car like this Honda CR-V DTEC EX automatic transmission when you use it as holiday transport, and you would be pretty impressed after taking it even on long trip, because subjecting it on a tortuous trip will help to bring the best performance out of it.
When embarking on such trip, just two people, two bikes and sufficient luggage for a few days away can test the car’s huge carrying capacity, and loading up could hardly have been easier either. When putting outing items inside, all that needed to be done is to pull two levers in the boot, and the rear seat bases automatically flipped up and forward, then the seatbacks dropped to create a flat and long load bay.
And with the big square boot opening very helpful, occupants would find lots of storage space to put their travel documents and emergency stash of sweets, with plenty of room upfront to stretch out.
