Honda CRV

We had an 09 plate diesel on lease for 36k miles. It was poor on fuel averaging a little over 36mpg over the whole 36k. It was also dreadful to drive over long distances as it followed cambers on the motorway, I've never had a more tiring vehicle to drive. The hands free phone was a joke, it only had voice activation & getting it call the correct person would usually take 4 or 5 attempts. A friend had a 6 month newer car with a completely different system on it so I guess Honda sussed they'd dropped a clanger. On the plus side it was a Honda so ticktock it never broke & we only did standard services & a set of tyres after 20k. It was fairly good in snow, it was also reasonable for steady offroad but there were situations where it wouldn't be conned into going 4 wheel drive.

Thanks for the comment Perce, I have also noticed it wanting to pull with the camber on the road. hopefully i didnt get rid of the audi for something less impressive.
