My 2000 model has the sunroof in the back seat, which i don't
care for... and it seems they've fixed this on the latest models.
Frankly, all my complaints are fixed in the latest models, just i
actually preferred the 2000 shape to the current one... we'll see
if the 2005 model is better... who knows, i might even get another.
The dogs love the car, and it gets Ok mileage and has enough power
to do most things.
I'm unimpressed with the rear suspension, as if the car is heavily
loaded, it just bottoms out. Something should dynamically adjust
the car's suspension for load. I hear the new subaru model that
looks just like a CRV has exactly this. I'll check this one out
before getting re-married to honda.
According to people who've owned their cars for years, the
subaru and honda CRV have the highest ratings of all vehicles in
british motoring.
This link references the satisfaction "list" which i'm having a
bit of troulbe locating at the moment, but you can see that the
CRV has the highest owner retention of all cars!
