An SUV with enough boot space as I have two small kids. Prams and groceries all needs to fit. AWD so I can go on ski trips and long road trips around north and South Island in confidence.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Reliable, comfortable, has lots of safety features. AWD. Very popular model for Honda. High seller in the USA. Cheaper than a RAV4.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
It’s incredibly fuel efficient! I’m always amazed after a long trip at the fuel consumption. I easily get around 16km/l, or 6.5l/100km.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Cloth seats. They could have just made it leather. Noisy engine when revved. Slow infotainment system These are just minor things though. I can live with it.
