The car I had before I bought my X3 was a Honda CR-V (2.2EX diesel model). I bought it new in 2010 and had it back to the dealer so many times as the heaters were absolute rubbish. After testing out many other (Honda) cars and CR-Vs, we came to the conclusion that the heaters in the diesel Hondas take a long time to warm up. Given that most of my driving is local, urban driving, the heaters never worked well enough to get warm before I arrived at my destination.

The car was only 17 months old when I traded it in for my X3 - and I'm so glad I did. The X3 is in a completely different class to the CR-V. Plus, the heaters work nicely too.

To my mind, there is no competition - X3 all the way.
