Considering buying a new Honda CR-V
With respect to the Honda CR-V 2.0 petrol automatic gearbox, I was considering buying one new but have noticed your comment that this model or rather gearbox is "best avoided". I would be grateful if you would explain why. I might wait for the HR-V if this model/gearbox is problematic.
