Their Ballade is still one of the most visible cars on our roads, with models dating back to the late 80s still cruising the streets of Mzansi today. The CRV is Honda’s answer to the ever-growing demand for SUVs in South Africa. (An SUV is a Sports Utility Vehicle and is designed for going off-road, but with plenty of space and comfort, while still fitting in on city streets.) The CRV is both practical and adventurous. It has all the comforts of a city sedan made for the discerning businessman, yet has all the space of a full-sized family station wagon. The CRV is very comfortable to drive and is smooth on a tar road as well as a dirt track. Honda prides itself in advancing their green technology to save the environment, so the fuel efficiency is superb, but the automatic gearbox can sometimes be a bit sluggish. Because of all the space inside, the driver is very comfortable behind the wheel and so are all of his passengers. The leather seats, great sound system and interior bells and whistles (all controlled by buttons on the steering wheel) make for a five-star driving experience. The CRV is a true businessman’s car, a man who has a family to support. It costs anywhere from R328800 to R541000, but its looks match the price tag, so it’s definitely worth the spend.
