Mind to share whats the avg FC for 2.0? And perhaps your driving pattern.

I hardly get abv 10 for daily drive to work. Stay in KL btw. Jam
For highways can get 11+

My 1.5TC average FC about 11 in town area, high way best average about 14.8.

Hiway usually u drive above speed limit?

anyone has noise from passenger side safety belt got solution?
the noise even not driving also can hear...

Err.. kind of
Its all about your driving style I believe. Cant blame much but myself huhu

Hi my name is Dan. I just collect my car from Penang viva hill service center regarding
To this issue，humming sound after speeding at 140. Nothing done except reporting
To KL HQ.

Hey guise, mind telling me your oil change intervals?

My car is asking me to change my oil despite it being only driven for 4.5k km. I'm a little puzzled.

Was told by my SA it is due to my driving style, truthfully i don't even floor it, always relaxed driving. Only that it is 90% in city driving. My other cars have never acted this way, even my conti is still ok at every 10k km. I thought there would be less maintenance issue with a jap car.

Hi, I am no expert in car stuff, but is your CRV 1.5L Turbocharged?

One Honda SA told me depending on conditions, the Turbocharged engine will dry up the engine oil, so the service interval may be shorter than the normal type of engine.

As I am staying in Penang, where traffic jam is daily affair, the 2.0L CRV is under my consideration beside the 2.0L CX5.

So is the 2.0 NA CRV a better choice over the 1.5T CRV for city driving? When there is a lot of jam on daily basis, I guess the higher power is not important but the fuel consumption and maintenance interval/cost become the priority.

Actually from what I read, more specifically, is short driving cycle is not ideal for turbocharged engine, probably not enough cooling for the engine oil.

This one needs engine expert to give more accurate inputs.

Agree. My SA recommends me 2.0 instead if i always stuck in traffic. Plus, i always drive slow one.. Haha

Yep, can't be helped at least within warranty period. You may experiment after that expires. Your SA should have informed you of this.. Similarly, you should have researched the differences between both engines before purchasing one. With the 1.5T, more city driving = shorter engine oil change cycle.

From what I understand, you are correct.. The turbo engine requires a little extra maintenance than non-turbo 2.0.

My friend owns a Kia Carnival and top spec CRV and I asked him overall his personal bias and why. he preferred the Kia overall and complained that the CRV was very noisy on the highway. Do you have the same problem as him for the CRV?

The CRV's NVH levels is subjective.. Some say it's quiet, others say it's noisy. So I guess, it depends on what car it's being compared with, especially if one is switching from a quieter car. As for me, it was noisier than its other competitors I surveyed. I didn't compare with the Kia Carnival as that car serves a completely different purpose.

Oh yeah, for those who'd like to purchase the CRV.. Official sales prices without GST have been released and you can save as much as RM12,474 off the list price of the top spec 1.5 TCP, provided you buy within the "tax free window", before SST is reintroduced. There are some who suggest that folks still don't buy yet as SST rates haven't been announced and or the new government might slash prices further by reducing other taxes. So buy now or roll the dice a little bit more.

It’s a good deal with 0% gst. In general, I heard quite a lot of ppl in the car showrooms to check on various cars.

I am considering to buy the new CRV, but the lack of built-in GPS navigation is a potential deal breaker for me. Been reading this forum, and found that can use Android Auto and use Waze through it. How does this work? Need to plug in your phone to the USB, then open waze from your phone, the waze will appear on the CRV's 7 inch head unit? And we can control waze from there (search and select destination etc)?

My SA suggested that if I really want built-in GPS navigation, they can install "android box" (which costs RM2k+), or alternatively, and install honda's own nagivation system which costs RM4k+. I asked more details but my SA also dont know much. Anyone know about these options?

Hi All. Planning to get the new CRV TC-P soon.
Anyone can share what's your best offer from SA in klang valley area?

With Android Auto and supporting handset, you really don't want the inbuilt navigation.. Those are typically laggy and older maps. Nothing as updated as Google Maps or Waze. Using AA is easy and best way to explain how it works is for you to watch it in action. Just go to YouTube and search for AA videos.. Far superior.

interested in the 1.5TC 2WD, any SA can offer?
