Peter, I cannot comment on the CRV but I have been driving the Accord Tourer with the same 2.2 ltr diesel engine since April and I cannot find a fault with this car. The power, flexibility and smoothness of this engine far exceeds any other diesel I have driven and my last two vehicles were a Freelander TD4 and Mondeo TDCi. I would suggest you arrange a test drive to see what this engine is like in the CRV. Regards Richard S

I have driven one and it seemed a good drive, smooth, and powerful. I was impressed, but I am concerned that with a caravan attached it could lose it's edge and possibly struggle if the gearing is not really designed for towing, but for commuting.
I have owned a CRV diesel for three months but didn't get my tow bar fitted straight away. However it has now been fitted and I took my caravan out for the first time a few weeks ago.
It tows absolutely fantastic, the engine is the quietest diesel on the market. Torque figures are the best in it's class and it has 6 speed gear box and they have now increased the nose weight to 100kg.
Thanks, as I said in the comment to Richard, I have driven one solo and was impressed, but I was concerned that the gearing may be aimed at solo work not towing, where it might struggle. You seem to have had no problems Keith.
