Honda Crossroad (Parallel Imported)

The Honda Crossroad has a boring exterior look and also is lacking in interior sparkle. The average fuel consumption (in Singapore) is 8.4 km/l. The only reason I bought it was because it was cheap and (at that time) had a fiercer look than the Nissan Qashqai.

I am a person that would not spend too much money on an expensive car. But over the pass 2 months, I was thinking of getting a Q5 or the X3 but my wife prevents me from getting it. Over a span of 12 years, I had many cars and but generally a 1.6 litres car ranging from Corolla to Corona. All the cars I had with me was less than a year except this crossroad that is already with me for more than 2 years. I also occasionally drove my friends' car like stream, wish, Picnic, Forrester, etc. Not only me like this crossroad, my friends whom I transported often also likes the handling, the stability and etc.

+points: Very big looking car and fuel consumption is consider low for such a big car, combine highway and city driving 70% & 30% is aroung 12km/l. Car is roomly even my european boss's long legs and fully extend in front, only thing is due to the height of the car take sharp cornering will feel abit light and floating otherwise very stable, overall is a nice looking car if u like Jeep style.

-points: Basic interior features are acceptable for not high expectation people like me, interior has no clock display and no keyless entry and no auto light on/off sensor. Sit 7 adult will be abit tight and no aircon at 2nd and third row, when all 7 sits been taken no more space to put anything behind, storage space is none. The back opening door when open up is quite high if u r 1.5m height and below.

This hummer lookalike really takes the cake. For a Japanese price you get American styling but Japanese reliability and fuel economy. Kudos to Honda!
