Buying a 2000 CRV AWD automatic

[sceh]

Hi,

I am new to Honda and might be buying my first but would appreciate any advice or tips.

The car I am looking at has done 70K from new and seems to be mint with no rust or damage - almost too good to be true.

My first question is general - are there any issues everyone knows about (except m() that I need to look out for?

Fuel consumption seems to be high but even the original spec shows it to be high. What should I expect?

Is the AWD full time AWD  and does the car change the power to back and front depending on conditions?

I have had Landrovers to date but they are not as good as they pretend off road so I thought a change would be good.

thanks for any hints and Happy New Year!
