Your thread is old, but i want new information about CRV because my mum ask about it.

How was the CRV in terms of :

1. handling
2. brakes
3. stereo or sound system
4. Maintenence
5. Which 1 is better for highway driving?
6. brakes
7. fuel consumption

Any reply would be appreciated.

just brought 2nd crv.. 2007 model..

here my review

How was the CRV in terms of :

1. handling - ok la
2. brakes -
3. stereo or sound system - cun cun only..
4. Maintenence - just make my 1st service... using fully synthetic oil.. RM300 ++ only..
5. Which 1 is better for highway driving? - comfort but quite noise.. came from big tire..
6. fuel consumption - can get 500++ for full tank(highway), 480++ for daily use..

I am noob in cars, what does that means?

Sorry.. Thats kilometer.. Hehheh

Thanks for replying, bro.

I heard that new CRV might have the electronic problems.

how much you have to pay to get a 2nd hand CRV approximately?

115k

Hehe this thread is brought out from the grave?

Hi guys I'm thinking of getting a 1st gen CRV year 97 to 99. Any advice from the owners of such models (perhaps who is still driving them still?)

By me.

I am not sure though. I heard that the new CRV is not as good as the old ones. My relative using the New CRV says that if the CRV is always sent for service.

me just get 2nd hand 1st gen crv... year 2007...from 1st day until now...so far so good... enjoy..

New CR-V is good. Own it for 2 1/2 years already.
No problem so far.

Mine using modulo bodykit.. You all?

Thinking of getting a 2nd hand unit

How is the fuel consumption for the new facelift crv?
I understand the engine is a bit underpower but go genting or cameron no problem rite? If run on 4w drive will consume more petrol.
Is there any common problem for this model?

I don't wan regret after getting then got many problem like electronic or gear.

Thanks

looking for used set? Wats ur budget? New set interested?

for crv the 4wd is full time one. cannot be manually turned off. unless you DIY.

most of the time it will be on FWD until it detect a slip and the system will send traction to the rear wheels.

underpower is subjective. What is your definition of "powerful" ?

How about when first pickup or overtake, is the car running on FWD or 4WD? because it need power to push it forward instantly.

Is this means that it will be running on 4WD when driving up a hill?

Is the fuel consumption different for FWD and 4WD mode?

all the time it will be on FWD until the system detect a slip or lose of traction at front wheels.

hard to say. Its a sophisticated system and because there is no any light or indicator to tell its on FWD and 4WD mode.

FC also hard to say, reason same as above. But as long as you dont drive and corner like a mad man, then the FC should be easy. I drive the first gen CRV, RM50 can last around 260-280km (city + highway). Drive and corner like mad RM50 last only barely 200 km.

And the first gen one, that's really underpowered. Have to constantly shift to D3 or D2 when climb hill or else will climb like turtle. I envy those in second gen one.
