Description
What we have here is the Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC SE Plus, with navigation and two-wheel drive ? an estate car by classification, but really, it?s a thoroughly sensible SUV. Registered on a 66 plate and showing 63,779 miles, which is well within the ?barely run in? category for a Honda.
Power comes from Honda?s tried-and-tested 2.0-litre i-VTEC petrol engine. It?s naturally aspirated, which means no turbo lag, no sudden surges ? just linear, predictable power. It?s not the fastest, but it?s honest, smooth, and doesn?t try to be something it?s not. And for those who prefer fewer moving parts, this simplicity is reassuring.
This is the SE Plus trim, so you get a useful suite of features: sat nav, dual-zone climate control, a reversing camera, and enough space in the boot to fit a mountain bike, a week?s worth of camping gear, or possibly both at once. It?s a proper family workhorse ? but one that?s been bolted together with Honda?s usual level of surgical precision.
So, if you want something that?ll handle the school run, the tip run, and the occasional trip to the countryside without batting an eyelid ? and do it for years to come ? this CR-V is, frankly, a very sound decision.
