Re: I wonder at the longevity
Well, Honda have always been an engine company first... people then asked them nicely to put wheels & things to complete the picture
I think getting a 1.6 turbodiesel to move a CR-V is a much better idea than those 1.4 turbopetrol pepper-pot engines that come with some Sharans, I was worried they'd burn out before the warranty, never mind aspiring to longevity...
I chose a 4-WD previous CR-V with a 2 litre petrol engine, as it had a 40% discount from new, rather than opt for the newer 2WD version at same price point. Honda, in Italy, has traditionally been seen as a weird foreign car-brand , so they have excellent special offers from time to time.
What most impressed me, when my buying intentions met Italian 'creative car sales-droid' problems, was that a quick email to Tokyo explaining my situation resulted after about 30 minutes in all problems disappearing! Quality, and it has a real car-radio with Long Wave for R4, which sometimes comes over the Alps
Biting the hand that feeds IT
