Advantages: Space, space and more space!

Disadvantages: Uses a lot of petrol no matter how conservatively you drive.

I bought a Honda 52 plate CR-V four years ago and, touch wood, have never had a problem with it and am still extremely happy with it. The space inside is fantastic - you can fit a washing machine stood upright in the boot - with its packaging! Replacement parts are relatively cheap and easy to fit yourself if you're that way inclined. And I'm still a huge fan of the 'McDonald's tray' between the seats in the front. However, I'd love to know how many people have actually used the picnic table that comes in the boot! Negatives are it is extremely thirsty when it comes to petrol and I've never felt completely confident with the breaks even though I regularly have them checked out and they're apparently fine. Also, be prepared for squeaky windscreen wipers and clutch pedals! That said I haven't found another car that offers as much as this car does with the same relaiblity and price tag. I think I'll be sticking with mine for quite a few more years!

Summary: A practical choice but opt for the diesel model.
