"Here's one that ticks most of the boxes for people who refuse to compromise. The 2019 CR-V SE with the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo and CVT transmission delivers a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and practicality, especially with just 26,000 miles on the clock. Start with the engine: you get the turbocharged petrol that gives you sharp punch when you need it (overtaking, accelerating onto motorway ramps etc.), but also smooth manners in town thanks to the CVT. It's not scintillating supercar pace, but it's quick enough to keep you confident without costing you too much fuel. Fuel consumption sits at around 32.5 mpg combined, with CO&#8322,, emissions around 162 g/km on the higher powered CVT model. That means tax and running costs are reasonable for an SUV of this size, especially given what you get back in return. Top speed is about 124 mph, enough for long journeys, and the ride quality combines comfort with composed handling. Inside, the SE trim brings features you really notice: dual-zone auto climate gives you and your passenger comfort, parking sensors front and rear + a reversing camera make tight spots and reversing easier, 18-inch alloy wheels give presence, leather touches, rain-sensing wipers, smartphone integration keep things modern. The cabin is roomy, with a large boot (&#8776,, 561 litres) and sensible interior layout that fits families, dogs, luggage etc. Also a strength: long-legged build. Honda reliability is good, especially if serviced properly. With 26,000 miles, this one should still have many good years ahead. If properly maintained, CVT and turbo systems in this model tend to be trustworthy."
