Seems a bit light on for torque. Is that a result of the small capacity engine?

Looks hideous from that shot, even worse than the Civic Type R. I wonder when ugly became the new normal in Japan. Only Mazda has any sense of style in the mainstream segment.

I looked at a new CRV on the weekend and it really is a big improvement on the old model. I also wondered about performance against the Mazda CX5 but when you look at the engines stats in the brochure the Mazda has about the same torque as the CRV but at 2000rpm higher!

I’ve driven one, the active noise control didn’t help with the engine noise. The engine has a rumbly sound and is quite loud under even mild acceleration. Shame.

And, note to Honda Australia, stop treating Australians as mugs, at the very least give us the option of buying the Honda Sensing suite of safety add-ons as an optional extra. I mean, you know, if it doesn’t cause you TOO much trouble…

I didn’t notice much noise John?? I thought it was really quiet on the freeway and it was much quieter than the CX5 I drove.

I can only tell you my impressions of the noise on my test drive. I found the engine noise quite noticeable, though in the time since I’ve been wondering if it was as bad as I had thought – you know how sometimes a second drive will show something you initially thought was bad wasn’t as bad as you first thought. And, to be fair to the CRV, my test drive did cover a lot of hilly territory – the engine did have to work hard. I think it would be much quieter on flat ground.

But, on first impressions, the engine in the CRV was noisier than my Mazda 3 SP25 (in which most noise is tyre-based) and noisier than a Suzuki Vitara S Turbo I test drove at the same time.

The separate webpage tabs on each story is highly annoying and you will lose readers.

Thanks for the feedback, Marc. It’s common practice amongst websites to break up articles across multiple pages so that readers aren’t having to continually scroll. Yours is the first complaint about it. We’ll take it onboard and watch the space. Thanks Isaac

More like so you can get extra click revenue… This was never to help the readers.

Thanks Steve. We’ll take the feedback on-board. At PM, we want to help our readers and not hinder them… We will look at reverting to showing the content on one page. That said, what is the problem with having the content spread out? Is it, waiting for the page to load? Not being able to scan the content all in one go quickly? Thanks Isaac

well, even with the NBN installed there is a delay in loading times, it would be nice just to scroll down. Thanks for your reply
