    Honda CR-V is the best when it's come to reality and realibity it's Honda or Toyota definitely. German cars look nice and have nice look but when it's come to service and daily use I will always pick up Honda CR-V. My opinion

    Matt,that honda is simply the best SUV..we have honda CR-V since new,from 2014....5 years driving it every day to work and no problems,no problems or foults at all !!! That 1.6 diesel its just briliant engine with a great economy!!! And don’t say that the car is too soft compering with competitors.That CR-V is quite hard on the bumpy roads..and my opinion the biggest shit of all is the new volkswagen..just telling what I have heard from many ,many mechaniks...
    Thank you HONDA for another one best car ever !!!

      Here’s the thing, reliability is never really a issue with these types of cars if given regular servicing and although I agree Honda engines remain equally good from start of buying to end, vw offers better dynamics and is actually a more tech loaded,feature loaded,faster,more comfortable and overall has a more better Diesel engine.

    I rented the CRV for 3 weeks in Turkey and omg the car was amazingly comfortable to drive and sit in. And their is ample room, way more than you can ever need and seats 3 at the back comfortably. The engine is amazing and it's only a 1.6 Diesel! Even fully loaded the car more than enough power. The 9 speed gearbox is mesmerising, 180+ kmh and it's doing just under 2000rpm.

      Spot on....garage bills or lack there of are great. Underneath everything, the Honda is in a league of its own. Has the overall best quality feel and the best by far quality in reality. The RAV4 might shade it in the oddway, but overall the sheer completeness of the Honda is head and shoulders above the other two. I have had 2 RAV4s and 2 CRVs and the Hondas were so much more classy and in my experience more reliable. I wouldnt even try a Tiguan based on reports of multiple issues. The mark one had a bad reputation in the garage trades and with the benefit of hindsight (here in 2024) this newer version is reported to be even worse for faults. Buy one on PCP by all means, but dont buy it off the dealer at the end. A CRV will las decades!

    As much as I like Toyota, their designs are looking increasingly desperate lately. I understand they're trying to move past their reputation of being 'boring' but take it easy you guys. There is always a place for no nonsense offerings. VW these days seem to be taking on that role. Their stuff are more reliable than they used to be and look simple and smart.

      Toyota don't appear to give good value for money when there are other better cars available. They always seem lacking especially in cargo space due to the angular designs. The Honda CRV ticks a lot of boxes except really poor handling/ suspension but you do see a lot of rough ones about now so wonder if they are skimping/ reducing costs on the important stuff.. mechanicals and engines.

    The new Volkswagen Tiguan is small on the outside but overall volume is bigger than the others,it has powerful turbo engine alongside responsive handling, not to mention that the Tiguan looks elegant and classy from the outside something that Honda and Toyota have not yet mastered. The people calling the Tiguan boring are the ones who are too ''Hipster'' and prefer to drive plastic Japanese cars with the designs that scream ''trying too hard to look cool'', because they cannot afford such beauty. In Terms of reliability the Tiguan will lose, but it is not a catastrophe, Volkswagen reliability is acceptable just less than Japanese car. Finally this review was done without AWD testing, this where the Tiguan will humiliate its rivals.

    • @amstrad79b
      @amstrad79b 8 лет назад +2

      Fuel consumption is not an issue when you have a better view of the road ahead. So you have a few milliseconds more to react to a dangerous incident.
      The handling is worse but you should also know the limitations of your vehicle. You are in a public road not a rally circuit.
      And one more thing, many of us cannot fit in small and low ride cars.
      Also if you have child seats you need the height to do everything easily and not break your back.
      It's easy to scorn tall cars but there are groups of people that we like and need them. SUVs are not for those who ride Fiat Puntos, Mazda MX5s, Alfa Romeos or Skoda Octavias...

      I bought my mum a Skoda Yeti a while ago (very similar in proportions to the Tiguan with Skoda being a VW group company) thinking it would just be a nice little mum-mobile. It actually corners like nothing I've ever driven before! On twisty mountain roads it leaves everything behind, including hatchbacks! So when Matt said the Tiguan's ride height is the lowest, I wasn't surprised when he said the Tiguan handles the best.
      Also to my eye the Tiguan looks the best. I guess the only place the Japanese cars win hands down would be reliability.

      interceptor1986 not really, maybe the same MQB platform as the golf, but it's stretched, and a much larger body. Their is little in space diffence.
      But if you want replace the Octavia with the Superb, which is superb, much superior to all of the above in space and spec. For me the superb is too big. All your going is giving the kids extra leg room, I (or you) , will still sit the same length way from the pedals. The Octavia already has enough leg room for a 6 footer + in the back. So your swapping rear legroom for driving dynamics. Seems madness to me. Though I love the superb. But I think it'd a car for the over 50.
      The passat and mondeo are for the road warrior type. the 6 is a nice car, almost got one last time round, they look great in their red colour.

    I bought a 2019 VW Tiguan in April 2019 after driving these 2 plus the Mazda CX-5. No regrets I love it. Wouldn’t mind a bit more power off the line but it’s solid and quiet and comfortable and wonderful on the highway with lots of cargo capacity and door storage bins are huge and lined with carpet - mine has the small 3rd row, a CD player, heated seats and push button start and the long VW Warranty and it looks good outside to me. I don’t mind the conservative styling because it’s classy and will age well. I do miss the LED headlights but the Halogen headlights do melt the snow quickly.

    Great review as always, Mat.
    I would not be comfortable with buying a VW. There are problems with the diesel engines, biturbo TSI engines and the DSGs. There's no car without faults but it seems VW (Audi, Seat, Skoda...) just has way more than others.
    Can't argue with the reasons the VW won this review (or any review in any media for that matter) but I think people will finally start seeing around reviews (in general) and start buying other manufacturer's cars.
    I would love to have a GTI Golf or even the biturbo diesel Passat with DSG but a) I don't have the money, b) can I trust the company anymore. They just pulled out from WRC and WEC (not officially) because of the emissions crisis and the ludicrous bill they got for it.

Easy to come in and out, No fighting with the neighbor's foot at the back seat as the floor is flat. Oh i love this feature too much. There's more quality feel front to the tail. There's more rolling than the vw tho. Tiguan have this big mound at the backseat which in long distance for 3 back passengers is not very comfortable. The plastic trims feel so cheap and actually cheap. The space feel crampy even in the driver seat. My husby love his tiguan, family love CRV

    One problem we have in looking at new cars is problems for the owners of medium to large dogs. We have two big labradors (working style and long legged) and have found the current trends in cars are not useful. Firstly the rear lips are far two high for dogs to jump in and out (start to damage legs) especially when the boot floor isn't flat you could use a ramp but then you need more room to store the ramp and no you just can't dump it on the back seat. Secondly all these sloping backs don't just remove head space from rear passengers but they make it difficult for dogs to sit in the boot. When you do a practicality test can you take into account larger dogs, a lot of people have them. I appreciate that good old fashioned low lipped, flat floored, square ended estates have gone out of fashion with companies and designers but the need is still there.
