Used 2012 Honda CR-V for sale near Sunderland

The 2012 Honda CR-V is the fourth-generation CR-V, and by this point in time, the Japanese company had honed its SUV to near-perfection. It’s not as sporty to drive as some rivals, but it provides a comfortable ride – and that’s a rare trick indeed with this sort of car. It’s also quiet, fuel-efficient (especially diesel models) and provides some clever packaging tricks that make its roomy cabin even more practical. Throw in a reputation fro rock-solid reliability and the 2012 Honda CR-V makes an excellent case for itself as a family SUV.

Lots of passenger and boot space

## Is the 2012 Honda CR-V better than the 2012 Mazda CX-5? Roomy, relaxing and impeccably reliable, the Honda CR-V is a classy, understated and sensible family SUV. However, if you value a car that delivers a more fun driving experience, then you’re better off considering the Mazda CX-5, although you will sacrifice a little in the way of comfort and dependability.
