I have moved over to the dark side.

We gave our Forester to our daughter/son-in-law so they had a safe vehicle for our Grand kids and we traded their car in on a Honda CR-V VTi 4x4 2.5L, we pick it up in the morning.

I will still be viewing the Forum and making the odd comment as theoretically we still have a Subaru (in the family

).

Those Hondas aren't bad, you'll just need to live through the 'Old' people jokes...

I've a mate with a civic and mates and I rip on him being ancient because he drives a nannas' car. (he's 19 and I'm 21)

Do they still come with a complimentary cardigan

are they really 4x4 or just when the front wheels slip enabling the double pump rear diff to kick into action ?

My bro has an older CRV, its 90:10 fr:rr

The newer ones apparently are FWD until it senses slip then shares torque. Dont know what the torque split is though...

I am an old fart (early 60's) so the jokes will be normal for me.

You got it in one Steptoe.
I am already missing the comfort and assurance of the AWD.
