- This is the new Honda CR-V!
The CR-V has been around for some time now, but here in the UK it doesn’t seem to get the same plaudits as some of its key competitors, such as the Skoda Karoq or VW Tiguan. So the question is, does the new CR-V offer enough to compete with these class leaders?
Well let’s take a closer look, starting with the exterior design. The CR-V certainly looks the part, with sleek headlights and taillights designs, and the usual SUV profile along the side. You’ll also find soft creases across the bodywork, roof bars along the top, and a large grille at the front. If you have a top of the range model like we do here, you’ll also find a sporty front bumper.
The interior is well laid out, and we’re glad to find a couple of physical buttons and dials for the climate controls. However, reach a bit lower down and you’ll find scratchy plastics along the central console and on the door bins. There’s also a large infotainment screen on top of the dash, and while the system isn’t the best, it’s certainly much better than the old Honda infotainment system!
There are two engines to choose from. Both are 2-litre 4 cylinder petrol engines, and both are hybrids. The plug-in hybrid comes with the a single electric motor to drive the front wheels, like the self-charging hybrid has two motors and offers four wheel drive. Despite this, both cars have the same 148hp power output.
So does the new CR-V have what it takes to compete with the best? And is it worth the £46,000 starting price? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

09:23 “The Honda CR-V’s anti-pinch system is homologated to EU regulation. The use of a banana isn’t representative of the test process the system would have been exposed to during its development. The maximum force a power window is allowed to exert on any object is 100N, compliance with this limit must be monitored and enforced in a range of 100mm to 4mm from the top window frame. Structurally a banana is not consistent with that of a human or animal extremity, the window would have immediately operated in the reverse direction should such be present.”
So, that means, I'm not allowed to use my banana?
So the CR-V will only break my toddlers finger but won't cut it off.
Good, I was really worried for a moment...
Poor play from Honda.
Yeah right 😉
@@vibeslide I never let my young kids play with the power windows and especially when they were toddlers. Just saying. And my young kids never complained about not being able to open and close windows.
£54k for a Honda CRV. What a time to be alive.
In USA, the 2024 CRV alone costed approximately $109.345.
JK Simmons is laughing🤣
@purwantiallan5089 BS. The Sport and sport touring trim cost around 35-40k and the 1.5 Turbo cost 30-35k.

£54k for that?! That is mental.
You can get a 3 year old Cayenne S for that
Thank quantitative easing for the crazy inflation
@@RocketBadgerand problem 😂
@@AJRV1-lc5wzsure 😂
@AJRV1-lc5wz lmfao, it's inferior in every aspect, other than like fuel consumption, even to a 2012 Cayenne!
2 things I would like to point out: 1. The blind spot monitoring camera can be turned off from a button on the indicator stalk, personal experience suggests it is easy and never confused me while driving through a round-about. 2. The reverse gear selector (in my opinion) is actually quite intuitive, I immediately got used to the button for forward and pull back for reverse.
be good if he knew what he was reviewing
Great to have an actual car review with a normal car! The races are getting tiresome now. More of this please
Count me in
Agreed, I enjoy the races but there needs to be better balance and we need more head to heads
Races are good but there is a lot of random modified cars that you can't really buy like m4s with 1200bhp etc. Possibly too many? I'd like more cheaper cars raced like 1.0 superminis and diesel SUVs as well as the fab supercars and more head to heads too
Finally
I skip right over the drag races.
£54K for a 2WD mainstream crossover is crazy money!
Agree. Its as expensive as even 1998 Impreza 22B STi.
@@purwantiallan5089 It’s as expensive as a premium D-SUV.
Don’t forget it’ll outlive you with basic maintenance.
Here in Brazil Honda's prices are getting close to the Lexus...
@@Nick210Japanese cars were always reliable.. the thing is that it was cheap and reliable, if we need to pay premium money for it there's no reason not choosing a premium brand over a honda
Holy cow. The new CRV’s here in Australia starts from $45,000 to the top of the range at $60,000. Converting the currency it is £23,000 to £31,000.
Honda pricing is getting crazy in many countries
Here it the states it's starts at 30 grand but even the more expensive CRV is 35 grand before options.
@@1985toyotacamryikr.. it costs about 32k for most models in California.. don't know wtf the English are doing.. lol
Welcome to how English people are ripped off with everything!!!
@@thorrrthegreat that's insane to me that even by converting into GBP they still end up getting ripped off by 20 grand GBP. You can get a Pilot or a Passport with the money they are selling for.
Since Honda left the UK the costs of all models (not just the civic)have gone crazy …
The price is shocking
Its true. But my dad bought the 2024 still because they keep a really great value for resale honestly. (He had a 2016 crv and they gave him 20k back)
Not so shocking if you know Hyundai Santa Fe or Mazda CX60, just as Volvo xc60 cost the same in plug-in versions.
Why should Honda go below that?
And also shockingly unbeliavably high.
Not really. I had all CRV models since 2011 to 2021. Currently I drive new 2023 Glc300d that cost 66k and honestly it is not 9k better than crv. Only better thing is engine that's it. Interior quality is close.
Absolutely shock
54k for a 200hp, heavy, CVT running Honda?!! Has the world gone mad
The hybrid version is 200 HP. Where did you even get that info from lol
@@tidaltidaltidalstill underpowered lil
its 35k full loaded
It's not a cvt, even if honda calls it eCvt.
It's a rather interesting series hybrid configuration
@@tidaltidaltidal my bad, still garbage
14:19 We think you mean 184hp, Mat... 🤦
Shocking quality control, why isn’t this pinned?
But srill only 184??
2.0 ivtec produce 148hp with e-hev produce 184 hp.chills
@@amalloveless435 those numbers are a joke for a SUV... small cars are producing more HP
Agreed😂
Thought you'd find this interesting: the North American CRV, HRV (the ZRV is called the HRV in North America; it's the same car), and Civic all have traditional shifters, even in their hybrid configurations. The bizarre button based shifter layout seems to be a UK specific design.
8:20 - Those plastic pieces are actually designed to be lost by the first owner, in order to annoy anybody who buys second-hand cars.
😅😅
I’ve always liked Hondas, owned a few and worked for them for a few years. But the pricing is mental, £54k for this, £50k for the Type R (I remember when it was £17k), even the Jazz is so expensive now. I understand inflation and everything has become so much more expensive, but I feel like they are pricing themselves out of the market, as for those prices people can afford a car with a higher status brand (my last two Audi’s have been cheaper than those prices).
Not the USA market which all they appear to be caring about these days - lots of Crv about when built in Swindon…. Doubt you will see much of the new ones in uk ....cost here is
$ 55,863 for entry level
Did you have the same reliability or maintenance costs as the Honda? Highly likely not.
@@neavius I was in Boston earlier in the year and I couldn’t believe how many CRVs where on the road actually. I was expecting a lot of American cars, but it was mostly Hondas and Toyotas.
@@Cloggie1967 first Audi I had no issues with at all, loved it, my current Audi has been a bane of my life with issues. I had three civics including a type R, and never had any issues at all. All my family still drive Hondas. Honda’s will always be my first love when it comes to cars, but in regards to the current generation of car buyers, it’s highly unlikely they will buy a Honda over something which has a higher status name, even if a Honda would cost loss and give them less problems. Hondas don’t look as good on instagram 🤣
Honda is also adopting higher prices than its competitors in other markets.
Honda knows their cars don't break, which means they don't sell as many. You're paying for reliability. With other brands the maintenance and trade in and replacement costs quickly catches up with you. But you buy a Honda once, and if you don't mind driving the same car for 20+ years, it will be the last car you own until your kids inherit it when they go to uni
Well said @fireman, these cars are very reliable, comfortable, and a joy to drive. I'm on my 3rd Honda and none of my previous cars gave me any trouble, I just change them after a while.
Just don’t buy a 1 litre 3 cylinder because they are terrible. That shape civic was a bad car but with that engine it’s one of the worst cars they made.
I’m still driving my 2010 Honda Odyssey…kids have grown up and moved out but this car won’t die 😂
@@JosieJo2000 how many km on the clock?
That rant about the gear selector is very true. While I don't have the button style selector, I do have a p button right next to the start stop button. And from time to time, I would still press the start stop button before I had put the car into park and engaged the parking brake.
These "ordinary" car reviews probably don't do that well in terms of views, but glad to see they're still being done on this channel
803K views so far. Not bad
Honda should not price themselves out of the market with only "adequate" product.
Matt's professionalism is so smooth, it's a lot like a great actor making their role believable.
Much respect for your talent, Matt. Thank you. Also, I'm guessing a lot of this video was shot on your property?? Nice!
Reminds me of the Accord of which I owned two. Around 2009 they decided to go after the BMW market rather than the Passat but in effect all they did was increase the price. If anything the quality decreased. Put me off and many others. Accord used to sell in decent numbers but the result was driving all their loyal customers away and not attracting new custom. Their Accord experiment failed in the European market. Looks like history is about to repeat itself with the CR-V.
The whole lineup has already moved up on price, essentially besides the vehicles that haven't received a refresh yet.
I know the price of these seem pretty crazy but according to Car Sales the top of the line CRV Sport in 2004 cost about $38,490, here in Australia. Adjusting for inflation that's around $60,000 nowadays so the price has stayed relatively consistent. Nevertheless, fk inflation.
£54k is $103k though, so I'm not surprised people are blown away by the price in the UK. They're not far off half the price in Australia.
The lane watch camera from Honda is very effective and we don’t need it for the lane on the driver’s side as the side mirror on that side has a lesser blind spot, if any.
The lane watch gives a real time, ‘all or none’ information and not like blind spot monitoring on other cars which can malfunction and give false negative information
Only £24,000 over priced. Brilliant!
I love the the fact that matt has reviewed a bugatti chiron super sport and also a cr v for us common people😂
matt does look bored reviewing normal bread and butter car..
Not sure how many common folk are dropping 45k on a car
@@yamiali1783 Sadly that's becoming the average price for a new car.
CR-V=crappy road vehicle
@@yamiali1783rather buy a used m340i
I'd understand the pricing a bit more if Honda wanted to try to become more of an "upmarket" brand, but they skimp out on loads of things which are fairly standard in Economy cars, (I.e using Halogens STILL regardless of trim, limited drivetrain options, poor-average sound insulation, average sound system integration, average material choice, etc.) There are many things that they can do to better justify the price a bit more. For £45K-54K it is a massive ask.
Unlike other cars the crv will operate still good after 15 years and you cannot say the same about different car brands without changing the engine and other weird parts.
@moto_v Agreed. Had an 06 CRV MK 2 for 14 yrs (bought used at 3 yrs old) scrapped in sept 2023 (so 17 yrs old) - 243,000 miles. In that time needed alternator, 2 front brake callipers & clutch. Brilliant car never let me down.
True
The days is basically over.. We r not living at the same period anymore.. quality is just deteriotes.. the only up n up is the price.. Thats for sure
No mate, not with the CVT transmission and timing belt. Honda are cheaping out on that aspect and I would buy Toyota with real auto tran and timing chain.
@@ivofixzone6410the hybrid cars do not have a cvt gearbox anymore. Its just the electric Motor driving and between 80-120 km/h its 1 mechanical Gear or 2 for the crv that are moving the car.
The CRV has had those vertical taillights since it first debuted in the mid 90’s.
yeah, i think Volvo is the one who copy
@@mrlongttVolvo had theirs since the 850 estate from like 1992…
Looks great, a massive improvement on the awkward previous design. However, as other uave said... £45k starting price! Absolutely insane. I predict £8-10k discount available within 12 months.
Yeah... that range topping model will drop to the price of the base model in less than 2 years🤞🏻
@@jaydenandrews02doubt it very much ..they are very popular and waiting list is steady
Just rather get a Mazda at that price
Great review. Does the steering wheel come with heating function?
Ooh so great question! The little things in the back on the wheel well go on the pocket (The side pockets on both sides of the boot on the inside of the car) so that when you raise the like tray thing were you put like grocerys you know you can lower it and raise it well when you raise it the side pockets have space for items to slip into like were the charger/spare wheel would go so those go there to stop that you get them and you clip them on using the clips. And thats weird in the US The starting price is like 20k and ending price is like 38k
I had a 2019 Civic with the blind spot camera, I got used to it and actually miss having that feature. It was handy and you could also turn it on/off manually if you wanted too. The reason it doesn't turn on for the right is because you don't need it for your right, you can just turn your head ever so slightly and use your peripheral vision to detect anything in your drivers side blind spot. Honda drivers tend to be older too, so it's harder for them to turn their neck to check the passenger side blind spot. I think Honda understands their customer base, and it is much easier to glance down at the screen than to turn ones head over their left shoulder.
The 2019 Civic and 2023 Civic also have own blind spots.
I totally agree with you, why would you want to look left to see things on your right side 😂
Bought a CRV hybrid Sport Touring in the US last week. It was $3k over msrp and has 19” wheels and a shifter; no button shifting which I prefer. Love the car. A little pricey though
You paid $3000 over the sticker that's insane.
@@Brayant25 yeah it was and I almost fell for all the junk add on fees. Would have ended up paying almost $10k over. Learned an expensive lesson
@@Brayant25 Just the nature of the car market right now, unfortunately.
@mjkarger89 Well I won't pay that. I bought a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige with all the bells and whistles and I paid $39895 cash with taxes and registration including options $450 gravity gray paint, $175 carpeted floor mats, $125 cargo tray, $150 cargo cover, $350 homelink auto dimming mirror and $125 Mudguards. And I got $400 off. Granted I ordered the car in November 2022 and it arrived April this year.
That price increase is quite substantial on the outgoing model, here in Australia these things really hold their resale value. Last info i saw on suv resale 4 of the top 10 vehicles that hold their resale value here were crv models. Convincingly beating its main competitors in the rav4 and cx5.
However sales have crashed since honda Australia changed to agency model, down over 60%
@daweigo6851 well nothing like a new model in the most popular segment to turn their fortunes around...
Matt, how sure are you it has gears or even CVT?

The new CR-V really looks nice in terms of interior and exterior design.The previous generation Honda CR-V really didn't sit well with Mr Watson so I'm quite surprised with how much he likes this new one😂. It's a nice family car that can tackle every day life with ease and comfort. Nice review as always Mat🔥
The 2024 Honda CR-V looked kinda underrated.
You sound like chatgpt mate
@@paoloimperiale9018 ok
The new CRV looks clean.. the old one was poorly styled..
I agree, but the price is ridiculous( like other new cars as well) I paid £17k for my 16 month old CRV in 2016.
Comparing to a Kia Sportage is unfair, the new CRV is both longer & wider. Having driven both there is far more passenger space in the CRV. I was a little shocked at the new price, people comparing it to the equivalent RAV4. But the RAV4 is a 5 year old design, I do like the RAV4 but that needs a new updates model.
The plastic bits in the boot are for blocking off the gap by the boot floor to stop anything going underneath. They hook onto loops on each side at the rear. I don't know why they aren't in position permanently though.
You're welcome 😊
It honestly looks better, I’m liking what manufacturers are doing with their cars
Insert bmw
I like it too but something crossed my mind, how would it feel like if every car, cheap and expensive had this cool, sleek futuristic look that every new car seems to have today? I dont like ugly cars but i cant help but think ugly cars had personality, kinda like how old extravagant architecture wasn't for everyone but they all had characer compared to the new modern minimalist design everything has today, u get what I'm saying?

CRV has been selling hit in Estonia last 3-4 generations(I do not know exactly as I am not fan of it). But always when there is a new generation out, it is at top of new cars selling list.
Matt, you should do economy suv drag race, and see what crv competitors can do.
Whole new CRV reminds us with a lot of competitors design.... swedish rear tail lights have been highly influence on previous Honda Jazz/Fit too. Weirdly Honda didn't made that happen on Accord rear lights thou.
Mat's analogies are always the best 😂
Mat always nailed these analogies.
He's always so unhinged with it, which makes it funny 😂
Here In South Korea, the hybrid version of this car is around £33k inc. VAT and it looks reasonable
And the price is about the same in US
Just wonder why it is much more expensive in UK
I believe CR-V is a reliable good car but £54 is way too high
Korea has some kind of Free Trade Agreement with USA so any vehicle that is Made in America is heavily discounted
If you hit the button on the indicator stick, it will stop displaying the blind spot, keep indicating, and bring up your map that you had on before indicating.
A friend had the top of the range model (AU$65000) as he thought Hondas were meant to be rock solid. TBH it was pretty gutless and although the engine didn't have any issues, the ACC and other electronics constantly played up and if it wasn't for the warranty would've been in access of $2k to fix. So he got rid of it again as Honda said that the issues were "normal". Maybe stay away from the hybrids.
Wow that is expensive for a Honda CRV. I’m in Australia & the same car is at least £20,000 cheaper here in Melbourne Australia it costs approximately $64,000 Australian
which is £33,000 when converted. Who is paying such a high price for a Honda? Seriously that is Mercedes Benz money here in Aus. Anything over £40,000 is ridiculously expensive.
New Mercedes GLB200 is under 80k aud. You can probably get the GLB35 AMG for the top of the line CRV.
@@AJRV1-lc5wz, yes, Japanese cars sell well in America and Asia, where people have lower standards.
@@AJRV1-lc5wz, Japanese cars are way worse than European cars, if you have any taste. Are you american? That would explain everything.
Toyota sells almost 4 times fewer cars than VW, behind VW, Stellantis, Renault and Hyundai, about as much as BMW. VW has 3 brands in the same segment as Toyota brand. Stellantis has 8 brands (Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Jeep, Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel) .
Toyota as a brand appears so high because Toyota as a company doesn't have many brands. The same way as the Model Y is the top selling EV model, while VW ID.4 combined with Skoda Enyaq and Audi Q4 e-tron actually have higher sales figures.
Which invalidates your ignorant comment.
I remember the CR-V was originally the size of a Geo Tracker. I thought "that's a nice little truck". This model seems ginormous.
I have a top spec 2008 CRV, had it for 12 years. Still going strong.
We have the Honda ens1 & enp1 the use the same chassis as this one and there are lot of stuff like the sound when it started and the gear nice cars and the front lights the screen on the ens1 & enp1 is huge way bigger and the rear seat belt .
£45000,😂😂😂think I will stick with my 2012 2.2 auto diesel a brilliant motor !
I also stick to 1993 Civic 3Door instead.
American CR-Vs don't use that push button shifter, they have a standard PRND lever. Interesting. Nice review as always!
They don’t? Honda has been using that shifter in their hybrids for years
@@Nick210 yeah, new pilot doesn't have it, nor does the accord, crv, or hrv. standard levers rather than buttons. guessing its a north american market special?
@@alvin.holbrookI'm guessing it was too complicated (and rightly so). It's nothing better than a physical shifter.
quite a few differences to canadian/american version actually. No pano roof on american nor 360 overhead camera etc
Australia as well, has the shifter
God it’s weird y’all get a different CRV Hybrid than we do in the U.S.
is this the UK variant ? because all other reviews have the stick shifter intend of the buttons and they lack the blind spot monitor
Mat Watson is the kind of guy who would have plenty to say even if he were to review a Vauxhall Vectra.
What about reviewing RUF 3400S or RUF CTR YELLOW BIRD 1987?
Can you put this in American car terms? 😅

Is Honda platform-sharing with the Mazda CX-90 for this car?
thanks matt. you've reminded me why i'm still keeping my 13 plate crv, had it from nearly new and still dont see any reason to change.

@@purwantiallan5089no it doesnt, RUF 3400S is more expensive
The finger protection window on the Tiguan might be more sensitive, but that leads to the windows going full open if you want to close them from a small opening at higher speeds due to buffeting... which is massively annoying
So that has never happened to me! I think that's complete nonsense and I often drive on German Autobahn at high speeds.
The AWD version doesn't have an electric motor on the rear axle. It actually has a classic AWD system with a drive shaft and a differential.
@carwow when you turning left and want to see navigation just press the button on top of the indicator.
They have gone totally mad with prices:in 2019 i bought a brand new crv, 1,5 liter turbo, AWD, for a discounted price of 32,5k euros. That was the right value for money
Me too.
The price is eye watering. 😢
Interesting: US versions use a traditional stick for drive modes like reverse and drive
Price lower too. Hybrid sport trim is around 33,000 quid
Do these things come in the non hybrid variants?
I’ve had 5 CRV’s and there was a time they absolutely where the best family SUV on the planet - but for a few years now they have lost ground on multiple other marques. The new pricing is ridiculous ! And as you say, when you walk around it, it looks like a miss mash of other cars. Inside Honda have been lacking in tech for a while - the infotainment system is poor for the price range - def won’t be buying another CRV I’m afraid
Carwow , thank you very much for the reviews . Much appreciated
Amin. Its been 3 days waiting it.
If the Drinker’s side has the steering wheel, is it still legal to drive home from the Pub?
Matt it would be amazing fir you to review the new full hybrid Clio for us common people trying to save on fuel and to be more environmentally friendly
thought that was a XC90 😂
Or a cx-90
*XC 60
Or perhaps Range Rover Stormer Concept '04. 😂
46-54k for a CRV. Good luck with that Honda
What they need for that indication camera is either make it smaller or a dedicated smaller screen. Or the Tesla route which is a big enough screen that fits both map and camera
The sound of the brake pedal is due to electric servo motor under the hood. There's effectively no mechanical connection between the brake pedal and the brakes, hence why they were able to nail the whole blended braking system. Also, this means there's no ABS pulsations or freakout when under hard braking.
Crazy price!
The plastic bits in the boot are actually tiny seperators to make the pockets in front of the wheel arches deeper. My 2019 CRV has them, too.
The camera assistent for the blind spot on only the left hand side makes actually sense. It helps you to monitor the left side without requiring to turn your head to look into the mirror. This way you always keep an eye on the front side. You don't really need that for the right side, as you can just check the mirror with a quick glance. Saves them money while being still convenient I guess.
The new Hyundai Kona has blind spot monitoring for off side and near side and the views are displayed on two separate screens from the entertainment. Mirrors don't show a blind spot. Hence the monicker.
@@WestonMike They actually do show it, there are led indicators on the mirrors
plus he can switch back to his sat-nav if he need it with a button on the indicators stalk
can you guys ship cars to KEnya, and whats th cost
The gear Button which emits the space invaders noise has sold for me alone 😅😅
Honda always nailed on ergonomics and steering response. But more and more cheap hard plastics are being fitted in their recent models while the pricetags are getting higher. Mmm...
My god, every car brand wants to be treated as premium nowadays. They’ve got prices right, but forgot to actually improve quality
Hello! I cannot find reviews of cars where the light system is chequed. I think it is important, would be nice to have those reviewed too.
Just a brilliant vehicle. Looking to purchase one soon. Test drove it and its competitors. The CRV is by far the best to drive, especially cruising on the highway. Best seats in its class
The HEV RS is $59,0000 AUD drive away. That's about half the British price. Why?
holy hell it looks good. will def look into it next year.
I think I saw you in Deddington filming this episode! Minute 15:48 😅
When you do a review perhaps you should check the manual a little first. On the stalks on the steering wheel there are camera buttons on the end. One on the left turns the camera on or off so you can easily cancel it so you don’t lose the sat nav screen. On the right at slow speed you get the full 360 degree camera.
something just crossed my mind, how would it feel like if every car, cheap and expensive had this cool, sleek futuristic look that every new car seems to have today?

Agree.
That's what I always thought. So many automakers would make weird cars and so many called it ugly. It makes sense in a world moving to evs and tighter and tighter profits that they throw in the towel with that mindset and try to make the most sleek objectively attractive unoffensive car they can to attract the most
@@baronvonjo1929 yh and in an effort to attract the most people they all do the same low effort thing which just feels like it sucks the "special" out of the car, it's the same feeling I got when I saw those red phone booths we've come to associate with britain being replaced with grey metal boxes that look like glorified jail cells, I understand its modern, but it has 0 character, it feels cold and pointless really
I love it ! But I prefer the Civic
You should review the New Passat and the New Tiguan
What about reviewing RUF RGT and RUF BTR3 also?
Matt who doesn’t use the 12 volt? I use it to inflate my tires, run dashcams, etc.
That blind spot camera only working for changing left is probably for left-hand traffic, under the assumption that you can see your right-hand blind spot if you look over your shoulder. But they don’t switch it around for right-hand drive markets. 🤣
This guy consistently keeps us entertained. Let's hope this series continues to thrive and never loses its charm.
You bot
Zip his pants up when you’re done

Alright Mat, what happened to the Jeep review? 😂
Your 'carwow magic stick' is such a classy, sophisticated and lush pointing tool for any international presentation...! 🤩
The blind spot camera shows up only while you turn left probably because while indicating right the drivers focus should be to his right and not on the centre console...probably..
OMG cars nowadays are so overpriced! Anyway the engine options and the 5 annoying things are more than enough to stay away from this SUV even for 30k!
You'd have to br blind and stupid to buy it for 50k
It's worth talking about (and including on future videos) why would anyone buy a Honda in the first place. They aren't simply charging 10k more because they have to (i.e. higher costs) than Korean analogues. Hondas are generally made to last and the total ownership cost may be a lot closer (including fuel, etc.). Hondas generally rate highly on reliability as well...
According to What Car reliability table for 2023, Honda sit in sixth place while Hyundai and Kia sit in seventh and eighth respectively. The Koreans are many thousands of pounds cheaper and are usually better vehicles.
why is their resale value so poor and why dont we see many 15 year old korean cars around? time is the greatest test of all... and repairs... hard to beat toyota/honda for both the build quality in general/quality controls AND the fact honda has been making internal combustion engines longer than ANYONE else@@WestonMike
Could those plastic things be to hold the seatbelts?
Matt, could you do a review of the new BMW X5M and X6M? Those cars stats look crazy
This new re-design looks great!
Agree.
I guess that the Honda CRV only makes sense as a long term proposition, when suddenly their innate reliability makes so much sense.
A Honda RD1 and RD5 is quite adequate... If they would keep their part available... Very reliable, comfortable and spacious...
Will you review Corolla Hatchback Hybrid, please?
