[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 3205532, member: 718"] I have the same model but factory horsepower is 150. It goes very well indeed though with good torque, better to drive than the figures suggest. Mine has done 50mpg on a long journey. Once. Normally it averages 42 to 45mpg. Over the last 500 miles it has averaged 45, but it is almost always between 42 and 45. The new more powerful twin turbo 1.6 diesel is apparently some 5 to 7 mpg better. Depreciation is average for the class. About half new value at three years and 50,000 miles assuming good tyres and condition. I'm far happier with this CRV than I ever was with the Audi Q7. The only thing I miss is the automatic transmission. Apart from that and the lack of seven seats, which I no longer need, the Honda is higher specified and just as nice to drive and gets me there just as quickly for £20k less cost to buy, far less road tax, a third of the cost in tyres and a third less fuel. Just as roomy for five people too. May buy another one next year as this one will be getting on for 60k miles by then. Totally trouble free and total service cost to just before its 62,000 mile service will have been £300 plus front pads, one wiper and tyres every 25,000 miles [so two sets purchased] changed well before legal limit. Audi tyres were more expensive and were down to the limit every 12000 miles plus the dealer always tried to scalp me on repairs and service [/QUOTE]
