It's definitely going to be a CRV, the comments on here have made my mind up. Think I'll leave it till after Christmas, there are a good few about. Thanks all, except Opti, who is a piss taking tŵat
My wife has had three Honda CRV EX models since 2011. The first was the last of the older shape; an 2011 auto with the 2.2 diesel engine, which was an excellent car, comfy and good to drive. Good in snow too. The shape was a bit 'marmite', but it did 107k, with no mechanical issues, apart from a faulty parking sensor fixed under warranty. Replaced with a later (2015) 1.6 160bhp EX auto, which was more responsive, but economical (and cheaper road tax compared to the older 2.2 engine) and a very comfortable place to be. Basically the same body and interior to the one you have seen advertised, but a black leather interior (that beige interior to me is hideous....), and the later 1.6 160bhp turbo engine (I'd avoid the 120 bhp 2WD version) After some kind sole damaged it front and rear, after if was repaired, she replaced with an identical but 2017 model, which has been very reliable, and has only had a faulty 'water in fuel filter' sensor, which was not a particularly expensive fix.
She loves them, and I have to agree they are a very good well screwed together vehicle, so I don't think to you will go far wrong with one of those from our experiences of them. From a personal preference, I'd go for the EX model with the better spec without question
