any thoughts on two budget cuv's?

I don't remember if they were regular autos or CVTs (Honda CVTs are pretty decent) but up until 2019ish the base (LX) CRV was a K24 ....

The CR-Vs in the US all went CVT for the 2015 model year. HOWEVER... No turbo, no CVT, FWD... I've got it!!!! 2016-2018 Honda HR-V with a 6-speed manual trans.
