Honda ZR-V

WE MUST KICK OFF THIS MONTH'S UPDATE WITH A SMALL ROUND OF applause for the Honda ZR-V. You see, it has slipped into daily life with consummate ease here at TG. It's simply an extremely easy car to live with. The powertrain may sound complex with its twin electric motors, petrol powered motor generator and Honda's 'Linear Shift Control', but from the driver's seat there isn't any real sense of the engineering that's going on underneath. And that's a compliment, honest. The ZR-V is quiet, reasonably refined and actually much more comfortable than I gave it credit for when I first drove this car on the launch in Spain.
