I think most people on this forum are Honda fans so may recommend Honda. I certainly believe Honda has VW beat in long term reliability. I have the touring which comes with very bright led headlamps and led driving lamps and they are great. My advice is to drive one in the evening and see for youself. Up here we have 7:30 sunset and before 9pm when most dealers close it is quite dark.
Wifey may however think the crv is rather large for her. The honda hrv is somewhat smaller and there are other vehicles and especially Mazda offerings too. I really like the way Mazda’s drive and came very close to buying a CX5, but I wanted the larger rear seat legroom of the crv (3 growing granddaughters). The Mazda CX30 also looks very interesting for someone looking for a car that is a bit smaller with room for a child and all the associated stuff.
My advice is to visit dealers and let the wife drive the cars. Unless she does a lot of dark country driving, don’t get too hung up on headlamp effectiveness, seems it may be more important to her to have a car she can easily park, maneuver etc?
Regarding fuel dilution and other issues, the 2020 models seem quite exempt from any problems and I love mine.
Apple car play works well, I did test for a while but I don’t normally use it as mine had built in Navigation.
