What should I look out for in buying a Honda CR-V?
The question
Hi, I am thinking about getting a Honda CR-V, 2007 petrol model as I do little mileage but need some flexability for kids and dirt track capability (nothing too taxing!) as I do some photography. What should I look out for when considering this vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Actually an ideal car for what you need by the sounds of it. Generally Hondas are near-faultlessly reliable but you do need to watch for a few things on the CR-V. Alternators can give bother, as can the air conditioning and some of the interior trim can be a bit fragile.
Also, check to make sure that any previous owners haven't gotten too ambitious with the off-roading and damaged the underside.
