Very good review....i like the car but going around europe on long journeys is not ideal for economy as per your findings....well done and thanks...Aki
I just discovered your channel and I must say it was a very good review very well presented. The only things I would question is your thoughts that a diesel would be better or a full electric for longer journeys. Unfortunately, diesel cars are being demonized and the problems with electric are very off putting. Initial cost, higher insurance, range anxiety, poor resale value, poor infrastructure, much harder on tyres, need I go on?
Great review, Tim. It's what Clarkson would call a 'big old Hector', soft-roading only. I'm not sure the hybrid-petrol power train works for these big buses - small hatchbacks, yes, but a larger vehicle is still better off with an efficient turbo diesel. Personally, I'd have the Civic, every time.
@@shieldaigbencher Excellent. I've just traded in my fourth Honda for a Hyundai Ioniq, but the CRV is certainly imposing, and it will be reliable. Enjoy it!
Good review. Can you tell me how if the engine is noisy when going up long hills or pulling briskly out of a junction? Some reviewers say it's very noisy due to the CVT gearbox. Thanks
Nice review Tim. I’ve driven these. But my opinion is the German bmw, Audi, Mercedes are of a better build and feel quality. Robust. Less plastic looking inside to.
Nice review lovely machine I have a gen 4 ex and next car please god will be one of these
Another top review ❤
Thanks boss!!

Thanks for watching mate! I’d happily take a diesel over EV..price to charge on the road and the infrastructure isn’t consistent enough imo..

Exactly mate, the civic was my favourite!
@@TimWilliamsHD Keep up the good work, Tim. It did show off the CRV very well, though .... really solid and impressive.
Thanks, means a lot! Will do!
I love my 72 plate ex. Bought 6 months old was the same price as the equivalent Civic at the time.
