Inside the CRV
Car Wars: Episode II
After that I was more open-minded with regards to the CRV, especially after finding out that the petrol Civics wouldn't be available for at least a couple of months. This was probably too long for the old faithful Toyota Corolla. There were plenty of CRVs available for very attractive prices being near the end of the current generation. Since I can't resist a sale I did the next logical thing and had at the CRV, inside and outside.
The interior was very roomy with a flat floor and space to seat at least four adults comfortably, if not five, with access to the rear from the front seats. The interior was also versatile with the rear seats able to be folded right up against the front seats to give almost 1000 litres of space. There were plenty of storage compartments with a sealed one for wet clothes as well as attachment points for baby seats (for when hell freezes over), a sturdy fold-out picnic table and a power outlet at the rear.
So far the interior had impressed me and the rugged exterior was beginning to grow on me, especially the dark cladding around the front and back in the base and Extra models given my past bumper scrapes. Length and width were about the same as a Toyota Camry and fuel efficiency wasn't too bad at 10L/100km. The main question outstanding was how well it handled.
