Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a new and reliable car for my mom. One that can last her at least 10 years without many expensive repairs - in short: a trustworthy car! My first thought: HONDA.
What she wants:
- high rideheight / SUV-like
- Petrol
- Mid-sized or bigger with enough storage space
- Automatic
- Comfortable on the highway. (enough HP)
- 25K GBP budget, give or take.
I'm leaning towards the following cars:
- CRV
- HRV
- or Jazz Crosstar
My main concern with ALL these cars is the CVT transmission, yes its cool tech but from what I hear: unreliable. Any experiences? The Jazz Crosstar has the new E-CVT, is that any better? And how is the new Jazz on the highway. I drive a good old Jazz from 2006 and I love it, I just feel its not the best car on the highway, underpowered and lots of wind noise. How's the new one?
I've been looking at the German mid range SUV's aswell but they can't reallyu convince me. A lot of issues and a lot of expensive repairs for expensive parts...
Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks!
