I noticed on the test drive that the steering felt a little heavy and whilst not wandering off a straight line it seemed to want to wander slightly.
I mentioned this to the seller and I suggested the tyres could be the wrong pressure. This was checked and there was one rear tyre that had been over=inflated. I also suggested it could need the tracking adjusted but the seller didn't have the alignment kit in his garage. The tyres have good tread and are 17 inch. I guess it could also be the state of the roads too and the fact that this is my first Honda CR-V and I'm not used to the tyres which seem big to me.
The long drive home was uneventful but I will have the tracking checked out ASAP. Everything else seems to be great.

Hi, Just purchased a Honda CR-V 2008 ES.
