In various test reports, the CRV’s main criticism is the somewhat sluggish reaction of the lamellar coupling on the rear axle. Obviously, first the front wheels rotate through some revolutions until the clutch closes due to the speed difference between front and rear wheels. This would of course not be so good in smooth winter road conditions, as rotating front wheels cannot build a side guide. I would be interested to know whether this effect of the new CRV (interest me for the 2.2 l diesel) actually has a negative effect on snow-covered roadways or not?
