Hah! Fifth Gear gets a Honda and Top Gear gets Range Rovers for their crew cars.

[BlackOpsAFG]

lol british people suck at parking need a camera for a crv wtf...come to alberta where 90 percent of vehicles are have duty pick ups and we will teach you to park..

[mipmipmipmipmip]

it looks so bland, though :(

[RFresh41]

Might as well get an auto for a CR-V, but it all comes down to preference.

[itsTiLER]

good lord. i just converted this amount of GBP to USD and it came out to $55K!

[JVL8701]

manual? on CRV? u seriously need ur head to get fix

[JVL8701]

@rock3tcat lets see if my semi-auto shift pedal match with urs. but i fogive you for being unmanly

[TheRacer3000]

So UGLY!!!

[daibadrumu]

why is fifth gear so boring guys?

[mrbenyong]

why not get a diesel wagon?

[cicatrez]

[zorokakashi]

damn cable shifters

[OpForza]

On Racing games I can't stand automatic, but in real life, why not choose automatic? Kinda dumb there's no disadvantage unless you're planning to go round the nurburgring with it

[dieselboy77]

@OpForza i drive manuals on my daily, i hate automatics , i'd never buy a car with it

[OpForza]

@dieselboy77 why is that?

[dieselboy77]

@OpForza because automatics are boring to drive

[OpForza]

@dieselboy77 hardly makes a difference if you have a boring car in silver and use it to travel frequently. Racing game? Totally automatics are for noobs. Real life? You're hardly going to a racetrack every day

[dieselboy77]

@OpForza i drive my car frequently and i still wouldn't buy automatic version, automatic cost 2000 more, requires 400 dollars service every 40k miles, can't push start it if battery dies, car jackers can't steal it since 90% cant drive manuals , makes rush hour traffic less boring , and cheap to service transmission and manuals has more advantages

[Jigsjigz]

Can i have this after you are done with it? please?

[revampted]

56k for a CR-V

UK you so crazy

[k757]

Honda America doesn't like Americans! why honda, why? Why can't we get a small SUV with a diesel? a stick? No wonder people are leaving Honda in America and going to other manufacturers.

[boricuas4669]

@k757 Well, because in America the majority of persons don't like to drive manuals and avoid cars (of previous experience in the past) with diesel engines ! So the manufactures know that and that's why they prefer to promote the automatics and regular engines !

[WhiteIceMan3]

USA top spec of this is i think 2.5 4 cylinder with ex-l w/nav trim (l means leather)

[cococly]

Our North American Spec CR-Vs have no projector headlights. Honda is cheaping out. :(

[mrjost55]

@cococly that's why they have Acura...

[JimPrower]

Hopefully they're not sourcing the gearbox from the same place Nissan got the ones for the B13/B14 Sentra/200SX SE-R...

[rock3tcat]

+1 for choosing a manual over a silly slush box.

[dieselboy77]

@rock3tcat i would do the same :)

[KesslerPeak]

Arghhhhh! I want a diesel CRV! Why oh why won't Honda bring it's diesels to the US? Hybrids are such a waste of money (we own a 2008 Ford Escape, so I can speak from experience). The only diesel's we're offered are VWs and the other way-too-expensive German cars and SUVs. And they're not even the fun VWs like the GTD.

[ThatIsGoodOJ]

33.4 MPG is fantastic if you ask me.

[LittleMikeStarCraft]

@ThatIsGoodOJ WIth the amount of new vehicles being made, and the number of drivers buying them up and driving them, those numbers are going to have to go way way up before anyone stops blaming the auto industry for this ecological hub-bub.

[ThatIsGoodOJ]

@LittleMikeStarCraft Well in America, normal SUV's have shit gas mileage.

[ukpenn]

@ThatIsGoodOJ Are you kidding? 33MPG for a big diesel engine is absolutely shocking.

[ThatIsGoodOJ]

@ukpenn In America, normal SUV's have shit MPG's.

[HondaFife]

My Civic gearbox was notchy at first but quicky eased off.

[boy638]

Top Gear crew car is a Range Rover and you guys a CR-v, but hey is free right!!! Try the CR-V off road!!!

[Rangeroversport12]

@boy638 fifth gear use different cars so the can be crew cars AND long term testers, so they can review and use them and TG's range rovers are just camera cars.

[persiansteps]

@ifthgearuk did u guys check it for radiation when it arrived?? it can be real dangerous.

[neostardust]

Isn't there supposed to be a new CRV coming out in the next year? Why test this one?

[Lucky13Vinnie]

@neostardust It's not a test, it's an introduction to a car they will be using regularly.

[gigabit942007]

fifth gear broke their crew car ... again !

[mazinais31]

nooooooo!!!

[CanonEOSseries]

why manual transmission?

Automatic is much better and more comfortable.

[paulb4uk]

@CanonEOSseries

autos are for the elderly that cannot drive a car with a proper gearbox .

[passingbynight]

@paulb4uk It's a question of preference only.

[lolovonhohenheim]

@CanonEOSseries that's exactly what my grandma said the other day

[dieselboy77]

@CanonEOSseries you must be an American

[tri400]

@nforspeed91 not to mention the massive budgets for stunts!

[HyperbirdF6]

@nforspeed91

Top Gear can afford a Range Rover because they have a much higher budget, and the budget they have is what we pay with our own money.

[H5ck]

@nforspeed91

What budget? They got the car for free.............

[AdrianC12345]

@nforspeed91 WTF are you talking about? They get the car for free and anyways the purpose of getting a cheaper car for a long term review is to make their daily car more twards what most people use.

[mclarenfanuk]

35k for a crv wow not cheap

[paulb4uk]

@mclarenfanuk

with what this cost if i had the money i would put it towards a second hand bmw x5.

[draquine]

The Skoda Yeti would have also been a good alternative.

[Jigsjigz]

@draquine Why? because top gear showed 1?

[yokohamaguy75]

To be honest, my mother has the same car (with automatic transmission) and it's always searching for the correct gear.
