What are they like ,good or no?...better than a Honda Crv ?

Anyone got or had one ?

What's your opinion of them,this is a timing chain one as well,no cam belt..

Opions,knowledge ,spill !!

It's petrol.by the way .

Has some good write ups and reviews on line, I would be concerned with 100bhp on the road as quite a big car.

Not sure I would choose a Suzuki over a Honda.

Agreed the CRV is a nice motor.

Think I shall get another Crv ,I reckon..mines a mk1,never missed a beat in the 8 yrs I have had it..only cost me 1.5k,so a bargain,and me the 2nd owner as well..

The Suzuki I tried the other day ,confirmed, stay with Honda,I'll probably look for a i'vtec petrol..

Thanks though for replies, I'm always interested in other people's experiences etc..

They good cars those Hondas,sometimes you don't always realise how good something is,I'd get another mk1,but they fairly rare ,and getting in for age now....

Cheers 🍻

I drove one last year for curiosity, nice and basic and meant to be good off road too - but if I was in the market for another
4 x 4 , Rav 4 all the way

Funny you mention Rav 4,that was also on my list as well,I couldn't find one at all ,down this way ...I know a farmer who chases the bullocks in with a Rav ,and he loves it ,its had a life that car,but still going strong..

Now I'm thinking ,straighter,I can get my porter lite ,fully assembled in my Honda,and my kit based around it,so ,yes,when time comes,will stick with another Crv..

I also looked at a Volvo xc v70,but actually want to be able to eat if I got one ,I was 100% full on volvo since 18 yrs old,I never thought a megre Honda would be better than a 940 redblock ,or v70 t5,chipped..how wrong can one be..so far ol Clarrissa, is superior in many aspects,especially in snow..!

I even flirted with the idea of a freelander,but my friend in the garage ,said things like,no,don't do it Ad...you'll regret it ..not as reliable as a Toyota or Honda..
