Evening all
I am looking into the option of getting my missus one of the above as the 107 is a tad small. Anyway I know little about each and was after some advice and to see if anyone had one or knew of a good one for sale?
Budget is small and age wise we can go way back so long as condition and mileage isn't ridicules.
Let me know your thoughts and offers please.
Cheers

I don't know why, but I'm under the impression that the CRV is just that little bit more capable. Especially the older ones. It looks a bit less toy-like, too.

Well the HRV uses the D series engine. Most of them burn oil at a rate unknown to man
They are also getting old. The CRV is pretty well settled now. The usual wear items, clutches, brakes ect. But for God sake, don't buy a diesel. Buy a petrol. There isn't really any common faults, rear calipers can seize up and read diffs can judder. They are a great car

My grandad has a CRV. Quality car if you're over 80. 107 to CRV is quite a jump in size, could you not get an Accord or something?
