@lvendemo Год назад

Mine is a 03 with 245,000 miles. The engine runs great but needs rear shocks. When you get repairs, do you get Honda parts or aftermarket? Also do you use a vehicle protection coverage like car shield? I've had to replace the AC two times in the last 10 years and a few other parts (catalytic converter). Really love my CRV but thinking about looking for a 2016.

We bought a 2016 CRV new. It is the EX-L model with AWD. We now have about 106k miles. It has NEVER had ANY issues, other than Tires, Front brakes, and normal maintenance. The only gripe is the high noise level in the car, typical with any Honda. We are careful to do the fluids at correct intervals. It uses about a quart during the 5k miles between changes, as it has since it was a year or two old. Great car! Bill & Carol in Renton, Wa.

Both Toyota and Honda made very good cars but when I first started working in the late '80's, I needed a reliable and yet easy to maintain so I went with a Toyota Corolla FX16 GTS hatchback. Drove it for 8 years with just regular maintenance but decided to give it to my little brother after buying a Toyota Pickup truck and drove it for 12 years. In the year 2000, I bought a 4Runner SR5 4x4 and still drive it today to tow my fishing boat around. Also bought a 2009 Corolla 4 door sedan and mainly use it for commuting to work. I still could not switch over to a Honda since both of my Toyotas are still running fine.

I have an '07 Saturn Vue, which I bought specifically because it had a Honda drivetrain (only available with '04-'07 6 cylinder Vues). It was cheap because Saturn went out of business and the 4 cylinders had a terrible transmission and had early failure. I love my car! I'm at 182k and still going strong! This has been my favorite car to date. I've had to replace body parts, such as brakes, wheel bearings, etc. That, however, has nothing to do with Honda. I also just bought an '05 Toyota 4Runner that has amazing engine power and looks brand new outside and underneath. Honda and Toyota are the only cars I would purchase at this point!

@michaelandrew677 3 года назад

My big concern about the new CR-V is your opinion about the 1.5 L Turbo GDI engine. I like the looks and features of the CR-V better than the RAV4, but if the engine is going to blow up prematurely and have oil dilution problems then it seems the RAV4 is the sensible way to go. Has your evaluation of the Honda 1.5 L changed in recent months?

I have a 2015 RAV4. It died in me this weekend at the grocery store parking lot. Called a tow truck to tow it to a shop. They sent me an Angel for a mechanic! He checked the alternator and said it wasn’t the starter either. He told me it was just the battery. That it was old. he gave it a boost to get it started then my son drove it to an auto parts store and got a new battery. If I had taken it to the shop, they would have charged me just to tell me the battery was bad. It had been honking once when I turned it on. I told it to Toyota and asked if it might be the FOB. It would have cost about $375 for a new FOB and to program it. Instead, I replaced the battery in the FOB but didn’t stop the honking. I asked them to do a diagnostic which would have cost $80. Instead, I told it to Auto Zone and they check it for free but they said it wasn’t spring any codes because there was no CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on. My son changed out the battery and no more honking when I start it. Hope this helps someone having similar problem.

My last 5 cars were Hondas until this year. I bought a 2021 CRV Hybrid. I loved this car until in November 22 my car was stolen. A neighbor caught it on camera. It took 3 minutes from the time they broke my window, climbed in the car and pulled off. I reached out to Honda for help. I asked how is this possible without the key. (My car wasn’t parked directly in front of the house I was staying in and I was 2 hours from my home so it wasn’t someone from my neighborhood). One person said they could have had the key codes from Honda another said that’s not true and they shouldn’t be able to take the car without the key. (Which was clearly incorrect since my car was stolen). I was also told they don’t have tracking on the CRV Hybrid. Without any help from Honda, I could no longer buy a Honda. I now have a Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid. It comes with tracking.

We had a 2005 CRV, and currently have a 2015 CRV. Don’t remember what problems we had with the 2005, but the 2015 has had battery issues. Like maybe it can’t keep up, doesn’t charge sufficiently, etc. Once a month, I do a slow charge on the battery, and it seems to be the answer. Before figuring that out, we have been through three or four batteries

I had the privilege of owning 5 Honda cars, 2 honda civics, a prelude, a 2001 Honda CRV and currently own a 2008 Honda CRV. I can tell you the Honda is by far the most reliable and best. I am not interested in any other vehicle but a Honda.

@itsbtunes 2 года назад

Guys I work at a Honda dealership. And lemme be honest with you: Avoid the CRV. Especially if you're choosing it over the Rav4. If you can get a good deal on one MAYBE. But if they're almost the same price then don't even think about the crv. The older ones were better made but the 1.5L turbos are not so good. Engine problems, transmission problems, sometimes electrical problems and the built quality of the interior is just not on the same level as the Rav4. They're not absolute garbage but they're a far cry from Toyota's offering. I've spent a lot of time with both (Rav4 being my best friend's car and I deal with probably tens of crvs a day at work).

I have a 2014 CR-V which a bought new. I have only had to do routine maintenance and I did purchase 4 new tires for it at about 50,000 miles. It has less than 60,000 miles on it now. At the time I was looking for a new vehicle the RAV-4 was also a top contender. However, after sitting in the driver’s seat for less the 5 minutes I was very uncomfortable. I am a short wider person and the seats were obviously made for a person with a smaller rear end. I never even took the RAV-4 on a test drive

We had a used 2005 crv and it never had an engine issue, biggest was the oil... had to fill it like every week. BUT we got it to almost 400k miles and i think that speeks for itself. We had to stop driving it due to an issue with the wheel or the axel, just fell off while we were driving it lol (while we were going very slow thankfully but we decided it was its time after that). I now purchased my first car and i ended up going with a 2009 honda crv. Has 154k miles or so on it now, bought it at 138k. Had it for a year this last october. I have high hopes it'll last me a long while, only have had natural car issues like breaks and oil changes. So cross my fingers nothing bad happens 🤞

My first car was a 2001 Honda CR-V I bought in 2014 off an older woman who had used it for church and groceries. In 2014, it only had 25k miles on it. I loved that car and took pride in taking care of it and would receive compliments about how well it was maintained whenever I got my oil changed or needed a new part or just by strangers at the gas station. Anyways, last month, someone was driving on the wrong side of the road and crashed into my car. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but my suspension was trashed. My beloved car is now in the junkyard in the sky. I'm close to purchasing a new vehicle, hoping for a 2013 CR-V. It's my first time interacting with a dealership so I've been researching up a storm.

We bought our 2001 RAV4 in 2001 and I am still driving it. This has been my favorite vehicle by far! I love the small size, the great turning radius, the ability to take out the seats and use it like a truck. It fits in compact car spaces, too. I will be very sad when it no longer works and I have to get another vehicle. I will drive it until that happens.

@___Karma__ 3 года назад

When something breaks just fix it...when the engine/trans goes after 400/500k+ miles just rebuild it...and drive it for another 30 years with no car payment. its cheaper to just fix it and keep enjoying it rather than buying another one if you like the vehicle. Besides life is easier with no car payments😊
