Honda CR-V (2012 - 2018) 1.6 i-DTEC EX 5d Owner Review

1.6 i-DTEC EX 5d
Honda Civic CR-V 2012-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Excellent all rounder, but the battery charging system issues are very annoying. OK if you do reasonable length runs periodically, but not good if you do lots of short runs. Loads of space, very comfortable, reasonably economical. Love the technology (adaptive cruise control, automatic lights and wipers etc.). This is the fourth CRV I have owned from new, and is the best, but not the most reliable unfortunately.

How reliable do you find the car?

Major design issues with the battery charging system causes this car to kill batteries in about two years.
