Better get the 3rd gen... Gen1&2 really drink petrol. A well maintained one is hard to find. I know the shape and size is very likeable. Still, the 3rd gen is a better bet... Its on the market for more than 5yrs... I think almost 7yrs before it got replaced... Parts will be plenty. The 7sp auto gearbox is really smooth and save petrol but at a cost, its not very spirited.

Ya is true, the latest 5th gen CRV have problem on gasoline and engine oil mixture problem. It is a very common problems on most Honda new EarthDream 1.5 Turbo engine. Btw I'm like the classic design of CRV, is a timeless design. Many other countries have use some modernization part to modify it. It look charming 😍

To be honest, my cousin work in one of the Honda dealer center at PJ, he told me that to avoid this 1.5 turbo engine for now. He say the engine spec look promising but the engine actually still new and not mature yet, so reliablity still a question mark. He say let wait the Honda engine evolve 1-2 more generations b4 we commit.
