Haha, speed and power is not the answer, often, but it obviously was today, well done! We had a 2002 auto of this model, it was really good in the snow. Very reliable and we got a great price for it, selling privately. I got an Audi A3 to replace it, man was it junk, in comparison!

Had my CRV for 5 years now bought it with 85,000 on the clock and just about to push through 200,000 . She’s been up mountains through bogs and fords . In the sea racing the tide . Never let me down . Think it’s the best car I’ve ever had .

Drove a first gen 2.0 manual on a beach and the bloody thing got stuck. 1st gear was so high (topped out at 40+km/h) that we couldn’t get enough power to (a) spin up the front wheels enough to trigger the viscous coupling and (b) if we did when the load of the rear drive came in it overloaded the clutch resulting in a lot smoke from the gearbox. Given that it was a press test vehicle there was a lot of tight clacka going on as the tide was coming up. Eventually we dug a path through the sand, did a u turn between waves and the driver shot off back to the ramp, 3km away. We walked back.
