The CR-V was on my list back in 2012 when I was looking for a pre-2006 cheap reliable AWD vehicle. After comparing the CR-V to others of the time, I went with a late model 2004 RAV4 4wd 5sp with the updated 2.0vvti engine (German model). It out performed the CRV and had better handling than the Honda CR-V of that year. Also the RAV4 (4.1 & 4.2) was waaay better with it's AWD performance than the Honda's back then. Still driving it today with 210tkm on it so far. Does great in Austria and the German Alp's in winter too.

@SandaBoxing 2 месяца назад

We bought a 2004 Rav-4 new, then sold it for a 2013 CR-V new. The Rav looked better imo; had the window switch go bad, but that's it. Nothing is wrong on the CR-V but the trans worry me. Shoulda bought the Rav-4 in 2013.

I had a Toyota RAV4 and I loved it. It never had any mechanical issue. I’ve recently decided to replace my car by another RAV4 2019. When I did the test drive I thought that the engine was so loud tbat would probably give me headache during long trips. Additionally the car had this recall pending which seemed pretty serious. So I drove the CRV and I thought it was a better drive, much quieter drive.

@juanzingarello4005 4 года назад

We were going to get the CR-V. I love its quirky but conservative looks, how practical it is, how non-taxi like the car was and how smooth it was compared to the raspy sounding Rav4. The ONLY reason I didn't land up getting the CR-V was because at the time (2016), the CR-V was having a major vibration issue with the CVT transmission that was causing the car to vibrate when in drive at a stop. I thought it was no big deal until we rented a 2015 Zipcar CR-V and we experienced first hand the very same issue. And wasn't a small vibration. It was even noticed by my wife in the passenger seat. So just to play it safe, we went with the Rav4. Though I will say, as taxi-like the Rav4 is, I am at 40K miles and not even a single issue with it.

@PedroPlckle 4 года назад

Hi Scotty. I have bought both the Honda 2.0 Auto and the 2.4 Auto secondhand, that both juddered only under very light acceleration, and only just before changing into 3rd gear. But the problem was 100% ELIMINATED by replacing the Automatic Transmission Fluid. Both cars. It's easy to do. They both run like a dream now. No juddering, no attention to torque converter required. I intend to now replace the ATF at the same time as the engine oil change, instead of relying on the manual's relatively infrequent ATF service schedule.

Mine is an EX-L trim so it has leather and a lot of options and the previous owners definitely took care of it. I can see why people like these cars, I took mine on a roadtrip in late June and it did great! Good car for around town too, it feels a little slow on the highway until you get the engine into the higher rpms when making a pass but around town it's actually really peppy.

I had a Rav4 as a loaner vehicle for about a week and it drove and rode great, the AWD system worked really well even in the 10 inches of snow that we luckily got while I had the Rav4, excellent timing to be able to really test the Rav4's AWD system. With the crappy tires installed from the factory I say it did remarkably well. Would I buy one? No, I actually like the Highlander a little better, more room and a V6 which Toyota dropped from the Rav4 a few years ago, but the Highlander does great as well and even more comfortable being a larger car. If I were in the market for a new car I'd be in a Highlander.

Scotty, I just found your videos Bro and enjoy listening to your opinions. I just bought a 2011 CRV with 89,000 miles and I love it! It runs great right now but I did not know of the accuator problems. Hopefully, I will not have this problem for a few years.

@mds2465 4 года назад

Oddly enough, I drive the same exact car. Same color combo, trim level, and everything. I love my CR-V. Yes they only make the CR-Vs in automatics nowadays at least here in the states. I have seen some of the newer models overseas that are equipped with a manual transmission. Mine is AWD also

@razminka.7522 4 года назад

I had a 2017 CR-V EX and recently traded for a 2019 RAV-4 XSE. The CR-V is a good vehicle but I am not a fan of that 1.5 turbo engine. Unfortunately, if you want any of the nicer amenities, then you must opt for CR-V models equipped with this engine. By contrast, I love my RAV4 more each day and enjoy it's styling and power. I have no regrets!

SCrobbe this car can still go with this problem. Also, Chevy have problems with their engines. I have a 3 cars, 2014 Chevy Cruze, 2016 Chevy Equinox, and a 2015 Honda CR-V. Both of these Chevys I’ve replaced the engine and transmission. The Honda, which has way more miles than my two Gm products have never had a problem.

@tionick11 3 года назад

My 2007 Element started to shudder mildly in second gear at about 1800 rpms at about 165k miles. A quick look on the Element owners group suggested Lubeguard Instant Shudder Fix. It worked. Hasn't come back in 15k miles. Cost $7. YMMV

@md2k8 4 года назад

I am usually a fan of the 2005 to 2006 Honda CR-V's with the EX or EX-L trim and standard 4WD. It has the similar 2.4 L four-cylinder engine with 156 to 160 horsepower and they are both equipped with the five-speed automatic transmission. Those older CR-V's are still on the road as of today and they handle better than a RAV4. I have some close friends that own a 2002 CR-V, but only with the four-speed auto.

I don't know, I'd probably stick to models made after 2001. There were valve seat problems on certain engines with first generation. It costed a fortune to fix and would happen repeatedly. I think you had to keep adjust valve seat clearance or something like that. Better just to replace those engines. Nice little SUV though, fun to drive.

@Xrex-li1yb 4 года назад

@onebackzach 4 года назад

It really depends on which exact models you compare too. Toyota made v6 Rav4s from 2006-2012 that were genuinely fast and would definitely outrun the CR-Vs. Toyota also now makes hybrid Rav4s that get awesome gas mileage. The Rav4s tend to be better off-road/in less than ideal driving conditions, and the full size spare tire on the older ones is a big plus for me, and the fact that it's on the rear door opens up more space under the floor boards. The Rav4 was originally intended for active, young people that wanted something more practical for daily driving than a truck that would also fit more stuff and be better off road than a typical sedan/hatch. To me the CR-V was intended more for people that wanted a car that sat up higher, had better visibility, had the cool styling of an SUV, and could fit lots of cargo

@James-rd9mo 4 года назад

CRV and Rav4 have comparable AWD systems on gas models without torque vectoring. Hybrid Rav4 will fall behind CRV AWD but Rav4 Adventure/Trail or Limited models will have superior AWD compared to CRV. End of the day any any of these will suffice for our Canadian winter's for most owners who aren't off-roading.

@glennyj65 21 день назад

I just bought my 2004 CR-V about 3 weeks ago. I was immediately drawn to how spacious the cab is and how it's laid out. Then I drove it and man! These things are actually fun to drive! My daily driver of 100 miles per day in sunny Atlanta has been my 2013 Nissan Rogue. It's just past 250,000 miles and needs some front end work I've got to handle. So I basically just wanted a get me by to drive to work whilst I begin the arduous task of rebuilding the front end. But wow! I never expected it to be as nice as it is. Also a very good looking vehicle as well.

@alexcintas8792 4 года назад

In my experience Toyota is geared more towards comfort and quiet, and Honda more towards road feel and handling, I personally prefer our Camry versus our Accord in everyday driving here in Florida, the Camry is quieter and smoother, both 4cyl engines.

I love my automatic braking on my 2018 RAV4 Limited. All the bugs were worked out on this particular model. I like to buy vehicles that are "perfected" through years of imperfect design, then updated to perfection. I'll be driving it for another 20 years. CRV's have lots of road noise inside.

2012 CRV owner, the only "issues" I've ever had (and I put "issues" in quotations because the car still ran fine, just a tiny bit of noise) were a small axle seal leak, a wheel bearing replaced, and belt tensioner replaced. Never ever stalled, or had anything fail or had anything fall apart. Sometimes the bluetooth connection to my android would be erratic, but that's it.

Has anyone heard if the 2020 CR-V dilution problem is fixed yet? Thanks Scotty

@johnedieter739 3 года назад

My 2007 6 cyl.rav4 was a very comfortable and nimble 5 seater. I found the styling to be sportier than the CRV. Especially the styling of the back side windows. Rakish! Plus it had a full size d spare on the gate. A feature that I thought added to its ruggedness. Unfortunately the timing chain slipped in 2020 so I only got 13 years of use out of it.
