    Used Honda CR-V review: 2012-2017
    By Graham Smith · 1 June 2018
    Remember that old saying: “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” Well, that was Honda’s approach when it released the new 4th generation CR-V in 2012. Honda was an early adopter of the SUV, it was very successful with the earlier generations of the CVR-V, and stuck to its tried and true game plan with the new RM

    Honda was already on a winner with the CR-V, but the new RE model that arrived in 2007 was a clear and welcome improvement over earlier models.

    Best SUVs for freeway driving and occasional towing?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 22 September 2016

    There are lots of SUVs to choose from, it's a very crowded market, which works in the favour of the buyer. The Territory of the vintage you are considering is a decent car, the diesel is economical and it would tow up to 2700 kg. Also consider the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V.

    Used Honda CR-V review: 1997-2015

    BP dodgy fuel
    Answered by Graham Smith · 16 May 2012

    You can fight BP, but at the end of the day I doubt that you would get anywhere. If you want to mount a case you would need to have proof of everything you, and your helpers, did from the time you filled up. Really, it's a case of 'you say, they say'. Who's to say which one of you is right. What it does say is that the so-called guarantees offered by the fuel companies are meaningless.

    Honda CR-V 2012: What is the correct tyre inflation pressure?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 8 March 2012

    The correct inflation pressure is contained on the sticker attached to the car and in the owner's manual. I would think 280 kpa is too high.

    Honda CR-V: Correct tyre pressure?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 19 January 2012

    It's quite often recommended to run tyres at a higher pressure than the carmaker specifies. It's ok to do that within reason, but I think 40 psi is way too high. I imagine it rides like a dray at that pressure. I would suggest you try around 32 psi, it should handle better and give you better fuel economy without the deterioration in ride.
