To be honest Expatman I understood you had kicked the car into the long grass and "got cold feet about moving to Honda" and "it seems that Honda has decided that drivers of their cars don’t deserve the best tyres. Sadly I think this is a deal breaker for me." Have you changed your mind then?
Well the Crosstar is back on my preferred list because AutoExpress recommended the Falken AS210 to me as a good all weather tyre available for the Crosstar. I do like the Crosstar from everything I have read but, of course, I haven’t had chance to drive one so everything is theory at the moment. My other comments about lack of auto dipping mirror etc. are points I would make about any car I was considering and, yes, I do wonder what Honda are thinking by not including it. They have added multiple safety features but omitted the simple auto-dipping rear view mirror to prevent the driver being blinded by following traffic - I know the driver can manually dip the mirror but that goes for many of the safety features like lane keeping assistance etc. I also like to read the views of Crosstar owners who have experience of the vehicle.
