How Good is an Old CR-V Off-Road? 

Had my CRV for 5 years now bought it with 85,000 on the clock and just about to push through 200,000 . She’s been up mountains through bogs and fords . In the sea racing the tide . Never let me down . Think it’s the best car I’ve ever had .

Haha, speed and power is not the answer, often, but it obviously was today, well done! We had a 2002 auto of this model, it was really good in the snow. Very reliable and we got a great price for it, selling privately. I got an Audi A3 to replace it, man was it junk, in comparison!

Love it!!! Especially the Clarkson-lite with a Kiwi accent... would love to come and buy a Honda off you but another one of your vids solidified my recent purchase choice lol

I’ve taken ours everywhere including over Gunella Pass in Colorado in the Spring. It went absolutely everywhere my friend’s Jeep went. Sure footed in the CO snow as anything I’ve ever driven.

damn I love the energy, we need more of these man 💯

Good that you showed the driver pov. Enjoyed it a lot. The overtaking part was the best for me hahaha. I am a fan of the 2nd and 1st gen crv though I don't own either. Do you prefer saloons over SUVs?

What a view and a car!

I like the shape of the old CRV. More rugged and jeepish, not the generic shape of the new ones.

I've owned a manual petrol mk2 CRV since 2006 and it drives today as well as it did when I bought it. Its never let me down and I'm never going to sell it.

Man after my own heart. Own an '05 CRV and an '07 CL9 Accord, and will likely never sell them. Much love from South Africa

0:35 Honda Stream :) . Would love to see you testing one. I own a 2.0Si with a full Mugen body kit. Greets from Serbia!

that ocean view is sweet

Ohh boy. Now the CRV prices are going to go up!

i relocated a gen 2 facelift crv (5spd auto) from queenstown to auckland via the westcoast, i pushed the crv hard in the twisties and it was great fun. I drove for economy and managed high 6l/100km worked out on the fills.

Señor good video great content

Speed and power yeeeeess. Someone is a clarkson fan!

cool video !

You didn't get through the Devil's Gate because you forgot 'speed and power!' Great video though.

buen video compa

Great video. Sadly only got the 2.0 petrol which is lacking in any form of power but at least it's manual

This video convinced me to get the car, does the 2004 & 2005 models have same engine power as 2002?

I love the excitement haha

Speeeeeed and powwwweeeerrr

Don't forget the picnic table in the back xD

Not bad cars I have one but parts can be hard to get like bush bars, and stuff and american shipping is crazy price.

I had been driving my Accord on such roads. So I sold it and bought an old CRV. It handles my off road adventures pretty well. Mud, snow and rocks. And it was a bargain.

You seemed very lucky to drive offroad.😎 The model 2 (2002-2006) that you were driving seems to be one of the best. And the iVTEC engine can last for a very long time. It is better than a new one with turbo..It's a HONDA. Made in Japan.

for a first time off roader this dude was treating it like a time attack 🤣

A low km CRV lol, mine has over 360k on it, they good vehicle's

Watching from united Kingdom I own a 2.2 ictdi civic type s massive honda fan love your honda content 💯

Id love to see how this crv does next to a same year subaru forester

crv's are slept on for offroading

Speed and power! We usually say gas here, but I think I might start saying speeding power. Hit the speed and power!!

Hmm I like this video Your fun Cool man

Crack up mate

Hahaha really enjoyed watching this bruv. Speed and Power all the way! And Yes K24 is the best engine in the world😎😉

Imagine if you had airbag suspensions and lifted this car is a mini off-road Lexus

Missing the accord videos

Soft roading is the CR-V’s speciality.

Drove a first gen 2.0 manual on a beach and the bloody thing got stuck. 1st gear was so high (topped out at 40+km/h) that we couldn’t get enough power to (a) spin up the front wheels enough to trigger the viscous coupling and (b) if we did when the load of the rear drive came in it overloaded the clutch resulting in a lot smoke from the gearbox. Given that it was a press test vehicle there was a lot of tight clacka going on as the tide was coming up. Eventually we dug a path through the sand, did a u turn between waves and the driver shot off back to the ramp, 3km away. We walked back.

South Pacific Ocean is present

So, I've watched the whole video... Where was the offroad?

dont underestimate 2wd... they are capeable if u use them smart. This course is easily doable for higher street cars

Was that a j90?

This man is the Jeremy Clarkson of New Zealand 😂😂😂

Useless test again. I could do al lof this with my corolla if it just had the clearance. Any vehicule would roll on some rock pebbles, it's just a matter of clearance... this is not really off road, it's a gravel road...

more cu2 content?

Similar to the rav4 with 3sge engines

How hard would it be to swap a K24A2/3 into a CRV.

Bloody oath run the company cars to the limit ;)

You shall defeated!

Do some proper off-roading like this is off-roading but like you need to do proper proper off-roading

You know you are not JC right?

Ebay turbo that thing and you will eat forester XT's, on road.

first comment!

Off road???😂
