I'm going to be in the market for a CR-V EX auto i-VTEC 2.0 in the new year, to replace a leased Mercedes. Budget around £5-6K.
Anything I should look out for in terms of preemptive maintenance? It's will be predominantly my wifes' commuter car, with me using it for slightly longer jaunts hauling Mountain bikes etc. From what I understand is that with regular servicing through a good indy, they run like a Swiss watch. Any advice from current/previous owners most welcome.
Cheers,
SVX

I've not had mine that long to comment much but from what I read although they can have issues like anything mechanical they have a reputation for being uber reliable.
I wouldn't touch a diesel for many obvious reasons.
Get yourself over to the owners forum. Very knowledgeable bunch.

My Father owns a 2015 EX which i sold him new. He’s impressed - utterly reliable and dependable. He’s still a Volvo man at heart, but the XC90 wasn’t compatible with the front passenger seat conversion that was needed for my Brother.
We bought a 2005 ‘swinger’ blind from the auctions two years ago. No history and plenty of external scuffs and dents, but it has not put a foot wrong. The honda techs loved this generation when i worked for Honda.. they are pretty much bomb proof. Wifey’s car is still waiting for it’s first clean, but as a second car it’s stepped in brilliantly whilst my Allroad has been giving me suspension issues over the past few months
