Honda Cr-V 2000

Great first car. This is a NZ new example with the 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with an auto. Not tidy, as per photos, back door central locking fault. Has been very reliable. Had been withdrawn due to what I thought was a fault, but is okay

The CR-V is well-known for its reliability and practical design, and this one has lived up to that reputation. It features 4WD which makes it good for various driving conditions, whether that’s around town or heading out on gravel roads. The 5-seat layout provides practical interior space for passengers and gear.

It’s covered a fair amount of distance over the years, but it runs well and hasn’t given me any trouble. It’s continues to perform as it should.
