not worth it.
I took this offer. But a bit regret.
only the door visor makes me feel ok.
the side step only got light at front door, rear door no light?! (even after market one got all lights.)
the rear bumper protector is even worse, very small piece not even can provide any protection.
get after market one is much more cheaper.
definitely not worth rm15xx.

I will go for a test drive of the 2.0L on Saturday. The features are good enough for me. I just want to feel how it drives and handles.

Dealers are giving a few thousand discount. A tactic to counter the new CX5 2.0 GL, I presume.

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. laugh.gif laugh.gif

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.

I called my regular Honda dealer. It seems HM is all out to promote the 1.5 Turbo. Test drive cars are only this model. Wtf!

There are prospective customers who don't want the turbo. Are they telling me to go buy the Mazda CX5 GL instead?  biggrin.gif

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 whistling.gif

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. smile.gif

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 sweat.gif
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 smile.gif

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 tongue.gif ) 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 thumbup.gif

This is your fuel efficiency..how much fuel you use per litre base on your driving style. For instance, if your car is going downhill and you are not pressing on the accelerator, the bar will go up, meaning more mileage covered per km.

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

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.
