    Honda CR-V 2002: Updating to new model
    Answered by Paul Gover · 13 July 2015

    The CR-V is a good car, and gets The Tick, but it's still beaten in its class by the Mazda CX-5 so take a comparative drive before you commit.

    Best four-door SUV?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 1 June 2015

    In that size and price class, I'd go for a Mazda CX-5. It gets The Tick from me, you can get front-wheel drive variants and there are ample choices on equipment.

    New SUV for $30K - $40K
    Answered by Paul Gover · 11 May 2015

    The best value is the ix35, based on the warranty and service package at Hyundai, but the CR-V is the better drive. Both get The Tick but my heart says Honda and my head says Hyundai so you should crunch your numbers and do the best deal for you.

    Used Honda CR-V review: 1997-2015
    By Ewan Kennedy · 27 April 2015
    When the Honda CR-V was first sold in Australia in October 1997 it was a considered to be a genuine 4WD, albeit one intended only for mild conditions.

    What is the best mid-size SUV?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 22 March 2015

    The Mazda CX-5 is my top pick and I also like the Hyundai ix35 for value, the Honda CR-V as a city runabout, and the base-model Subaru Forester as a family car.

    Ford Focus 2008: Lack of manual cars
    Answered by Paul Gover · 9 March 2015

    More than 80 per cent of cars sold in Australia are now automatics and that share is still rising, fast. When companies are looking to cut cost and complications from their line-ups, it's easy to drop a manual that few people want. Between X-Trail and CR-V I give The Tick to the Honda.

    Good car for an older person?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 8 March 2015

    I'd suggest you wait, just a little, and investigate the new breed of compact SUVs. Right now you can choose from the Subaru XV and Renault Captur, which I give The Tick, but soon enough there will also be a Mazda CX-3 that looks like the pick of the litter.

    Holden Trax alternatives
    Answered by Paul Gover · 8 February 2015

    I am not remotely a fan of the Trax. I'd suggest a test drive in a Mazda CX-5, which is best in class and gets The Tick, and then compare it with a couple of worthy rivals such as the Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage. Or wait for the new wave of baby SUVs including the Mazda CX-3 and Renault Captur

     

    Honda CR-V 2000: Sunken sunroof
    Answered by Graham Smith · 2 October 2014

    I would suggest you take it to a Honda dealer. They should be able to fix it, or send you to someone who could.
