2002 Honda CR-V Standard review from Australia and New Zealand
"A perfect all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is a great car - amazingly practical, performs well and excellent value for money.
Ideal for either long trips (the kids love it) or around town. Looks OK too.
The torque steer I read about in reviews, hasn't been a problem at all.
It is a bit noisier than expected though, and the front wheels spin pretty easily on take-off unless you're careful.
Before buying the CRV I tested a Nissan X-Trail and a Mazda Tribute V6 - both were pretty good, but I certainly haven't regretted buying the Honda.
