You fell for it.

Tried 2.0 , car seems sluggish and underpower. It'll be fine if u looking for some smooth daily ride. The feature though I agree is value for money if u compare it with 1.5 turbo as specs almost same . Initially was going to consider this but end up dropping the idea. Most of the salesman discourage 2.0, dunno why though.

the discount is most likely due to year end promotion. Mind you it'll affect year end car value the most in terms of used car value when you sell it in future.

I booked the 2.0L, now your comment making me feel a bit concerned. Tested with latest Mitsubishi Outlander CKD 2.0, feels that almost the same, that’s why I opt for CRV 2.0L

They discourage 2.0L is to make you spend more on cars. That's all they do. From a 2.0cc car, can sweet talk till you get 1.5cc Turbo.

Do not be too concern about it, unless you have additional funds, then you may think about it. If you have budget constrained. 2.0cc is nice to drive too.

Sir, on behalf of all.. We thank you for your sacrifice.

Turbo engine still new for CRV and guinea pigs wanted = return more frequently to them = more opportunities to charge = higher chances for us to lose warranty = we are customers and the product aka lab mice... Just saying

Hey, if your mind's made up & die must stick to budget, then your mind's made up.. Don't think too much about it as there's always another vehicle that's better than this. However, if you can afford it, go up.. Buyer's remorse is worse when you have to live with a depreciating asset.

Thats solely my opinion though, i seriously think if you just city drive 100% it'll be worth it. But when I test drive to overtake car, the car throttle like no response
It'll be your call & preferences, you may take note forummers opinion but dun be swayed by comments solely as everyone have their own preferences and constraints

Initially I thought so, but he ended up recommending me cheaper cars and also from other brands

Yup, the 2.0 when i tested it, i'm seriously impressed by the features and spec, if u go thru 2.0 & 1.5 TC 2wd spec, there's only minimal difference. Too bad i can't accept the sluggish feel.
Anyway as my budget only can go to 2.0, hence I dropped the idea.

the term 'underpower' is very subjective. if u are driving small cc car (non-turbo ofcoz ) previously, u won't feel underpower on the 2.0 crv. After owning the 2.0 for 2 weeks, i would say the power is adequate for daily drive and don't expect to zip-zap at highway.

the main reason i take crv instead of cx-5 is the huge cargo space, rear seat can easily fit 2 adult+ baby seat. And again, i definitely wont play zip-zap on highway and try to overtake the passat at 140km/hr while ferrying my 60+ yr old parents and 2 yr old son.

I like the cr-v keyless entry. Unlike those after market keyless entry with a button on door handle, juz put your hand at the door handle sensor and ur car is unlocked. and simply touch the door handle to lock the car.

Overall a good car, no issue yet so far, a happy family man

okay thanks for the info

We have the same car plate starting RR and same color too

true. i turned on ECO all the time and frequently being overtake because it felt like you are driving really slow (some sort of being pulled feeling) but not an issue for me - i just make sure i'm not a nuisance to people and stick to my inner lane.

i will use 'under-powered' term on this too but that is because i wanted it to be. if i drive without the ECO mode well i don't feel much of a difference compared to my other 2.0 car

damn, i was aiming for that too RR. but my preferred number sold out - even aimed for RS but also sold out

silver color easier to take care
share some of ur handsome photo here

i saw 3 transporters carrying ALL Honda CRV 2017 on Monday. heading towards KL - all Green Olive with some gov logo at the side

seems they have switched from being Fortuner customers to CRV

Don't worry, its a great car with space and spec. If u are not the one who always fight for the place in front of u, the power is adequate. If u have doubt test drive it again. In this 2.0 catagory the CX5 have more powerful engine but u got kosong spec and sacrifice space.

Booked 2.0 dark olive also. Car expected to arrive next week. I only test drove 1.5T but due to budget constraints & spec wise not much diff with turbo, decided to go for 2.0 Hope not making a mistake though

you share my same sentiment. While many is comparing CR-V with CX5 and make fun of CR-V turbo and CVT in this forum, I was comparing it with Tiguan. I like how Tiguan is shaped and space it offers coupled with good engine and wet clutch DCT plus superb handling. However, the reason for me to get a SUV is to ferry my family from point A to point B and can place a car seat and at the same time carrying 2 adults on the back. I'm not going to do any racing from a stand still or taking any sharp corner at a speed of more than 60km/h. So after test driving the CR-V, in terms of space and handling it fits my bill and I place the booking. If the CR-V doesn't comes with Honda Sensing / it comes with 7 seater, then Tiguan will be my choice.

I do like the design of CX5 as well and I don't mind the design is not a redo of the 1st gen as it still looks sexy. But the moment I sit in the car immediately I feel cramped. Yes the driving dynamic and handling is better than CR-V but the space fail big on me.

For car coating, 3M HyperShield ok? Anyone can share their experience.

in fact i bring the baby seat with 2 full size adult at rear seat when i test drive the cr-v (guess that is the first time the young SA encounter this kind of mafan yao )

wait for RX

haha wait for next year when the wallet is loaded can get HRV new model for missus (then swap the car plate for my CRV)
