Description
2008 Honda Crossroad 1. 8 FWD Automatic RT1
A unique optional 7 seater SUV with a combined real world average mpg of 34.
This is a Japanese import and was first registered here in the UK in 2019.
I bought this car with 90k miles on it as a fresh import to use as a daily driver. It has never let me down and now has 132k miles on it.
I am only selling because I have two other vehicles and cannot afford to run three.
When I bought this car I very quickly had it freshly undersealed. Since then it has had the front grille and rear light surrounds proffesionally painted black and the windows tinted. I also replaced the steel wheels with Civic EP3 Type R 17" alloys as they were the exact dimensions of the optional alloys for this vehicle.
The car is mechanically sound, but does need the near side steering rack joint replacing soon and two tyres.
The low asking price for one of these cars is because of the body work. There is no major damage, but overall needs some tlc.
Features include:
optional 7 seats
power steering
electric folding mirrors
air conditioning
rear parking camera
wind deflectors
central locking
There is part service history. I never received any from it's previous life in Japan as it was lost in transit and never recovered. I have history from my ownership, but not much as not much has needed doing with exception to normal servicing. I bought this car as I love unique and rare vehicles.
It was only manufactured between 2008-2010 and only available in Japan. It was then superseded by the CRV.
It's a very unique looking compact SUV with some calling it 'the mini Hummer' for obvious visual reasons.
The more I drove the car, the more I loved it. Easy to drive, not fast but practical and doesn't seem to suffer when fully loaded with 7 people. The optional two seats are also complete seats with headrests and proper seatbelts, not lap belts.
