We're considering getting an old FRV as we occasionally need the extra seat and space, was wondering if anyone might have had one before and can share their experiences of them. Are they any good?
I can't think of another compact 6 seater that's as reliable as japanese cars generally are and at a similar price point. It's not going to be our main car, but just one for occasional use.
We've had several Hondas in the family for decades now and we love them, but my only complaint with all our Hondas is the weak clutches which seem to be a common theme across all the hondas we've had. Is this the same with the FRV? I'm not so keen on diesels so will be looking at the petrol ones, manual or auto.
Anything to look out for or avoid?
As we don't intend to do more than about 1000-2000 miles a year in it, I guess a high mileage one wouldn't be too much of a problem, but is there a maximum mileage to be safe?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
