Up until October last year I was a salesman for Honda, the FR-V was my weapon of choice for a Demonstrator. Living in Wilts it was great for the 3+3 trips, 3 bikes and 3 people,off to Afan and Cwmcarn for day trips. I wouldn’t have wanted to do much more than a couple or three hours though (quite tight in the front).
For a trip for six to the alps snowboarding, forget it, unless you have a trailer and a roofbox.
I would only go for the 2.2 Diesel, the 1.7 is gutless and the 1.8 are very few and far between. The 2.0 is the most common but very thirsty.
Would i have another one, definitely.
