Dear CRV owners.
For CRV 2nd generation owner, could u please check for me what is your original tyre size?
Is it 205/70/15 or 215/65/15 ?

crv vs x-trail, not sure which one is better. Planning to get one of it soon

I'm thinking of getting a set of absorbers front n rear to replace my stock ones which are starting to show signs of wearing out even though I've just changed it a little over 3 years ago. Original from Honda somemore. I'm looking at bilstein b6 shocks as best possible replacements as stock ones doesn't last. Any1 here used bilstein b6 in their crvs before? I heard only good reviews regarding bilstein shocks in other car made but yet in a crv. Do drop by any opinions n review here. Thanks.

My father owned 2002 crv until now...almost 9 years....U can go for it...comfort drive...for long distance....about fuel consumption for the new crv much better....dont forget maybe new 2012 crv will come out maybe next year....

Well thinking of going for 1 that will provide comfort and a piece of mind for the money spent. No doubt Bilstein is a very reputable brand therefore cost amounting to a mini bomb as well but if it is worth it then it is a good pick. Anyway how about Gab from Japan? Any1 used it before? Heard some good reviews regarding it as well. I do second to the statement "CRV is a comfortable ride in its class".

Just wondering, where can find CRV owner forum? I tried google, not much help..

I tried too.. not much help
how good is CRV 1st Generation?
in term of FC, Maintanence? Road tax?
insurance?

RM50 brings me 200-210km. Drive like mad, instantly becomes 150-160km.

maintenance if bring to mechanic bawah pokok, more expensive than normal Honda cars, need extra lubricants for its 4WD differential. Since it is such an old car, things are prone to break/dysfunction such as the wheel bearings. Road Tax is RM 370++/year.

Just a matter of luck if you're buying a second hand one in the market. If possible, get the facelift with 150hp engine. Better power and probably slightly better FC since it has adequate power to move its bulk. The OD button might comes in handy too on hill and slopes.

My dad owned this new crv.. Not bad to drive, performance and cornering are good..
1 thing is only the seat are bad.. Sofa too hard..

tq for the info. so crv consider high fc compare to sedan..
how many litres for full tank?
drive like mad means XXxkm/h?
Rm50 brings 200km in what speed?

Well I usually pumped around 50l when the yellow petrol sign popped out which amount to rm 90 for ron95 or rm145 for ron97. Frequent speeding will give me a mileage of around 400km per fil while free n easy gets me about 450km per fill. All in city drive. In cases of frequent speeding, I'll elaborate it as constant raising the rpm to about 4-5k for speedy start off or overtaking or coming out of a roundabout/junction. For long distance drive via highway or trunk road with speed bearing an average of 120km/h gets me a surprising good mileage of about 600km per fill. Overall crv is a very comfortable ride in it's class. I just changed the abs to bilstein b6 and the feedback after using it for a few months now, the ride is more bumpy at slow speed etc 0-50km/h but very much sturdy at higher speed and surprisingly I don't feel anymore bounce or so call floating feel when going through uneven roads even through small potholes. Very much a much smoother ride at the speed above 50.

tq.. so from what u mention. it is a good car.
what size is the tyre? cost how much?
normal wear & tear usually in which part?

Stock standard tyre size is 205R15 profile 70. Price wise varies according to brands. I'm using Michelin primacy lc costing about 400 a piece. Tear n wear usually are the wheel bearings, arms and bushes. I've replaced abs, stabilizer links n bushes, wheel bearings and front upper arms throughout the five year ownership. That's the parts that are most prone to tear and wear. The rest major parts such as steering rack, gearbox, drive shaft and engine are still working perfectly.

so is crv 1st gen engine is caburator or got fuel injection...

fuel injection, but no VTEC so no "VTEC kicked in yo" moments.

crv uses what type of engine oil?
mineral accepted? or muz semi?
a mix between mineral and semi like 3l mineral plus 4l semi. it is ok?
