Hi, all the CRV owner out there......

Please come & share your thought on this car......

Want to know how is this car, before I decide to get it.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you............

new CRV ? i can say nice car ~ worth for you money ~
spacious
comfort
good FC

only 1 problem ~ need 2 month waiting list ~ heheheheh

if no good then no ppl buy ~ Am I correct ?

but saw lotsa review on it.....sucks off road

the new version ? I drove it ~ ok ah ~ in-fact improvement from previous model alot ~

how they define suck off road? well, this car mean to be city type SUV not those heavy duty car.

if you looking for heavy duty, Toyota Hilux will be a good budget 4x4~ if SUV off road heavy duty? range rover is the 1 ~

2 months waiting?

i thinks consider ok la.... unlike the civic tyre R.... and also the mitsubishi lancer.... damm long man... 6 months le

Im talking about mini suv dawg........all the review point to RAV4 the best...

but the prob is my wife digg CRV

erk ~ i tot type R was not many ppl book ~ there about 30 pcs left only

in-term price, CRV more affordable.

I not sit in new RAV4, so cannot comment.

Crv and rav 4 i can comment ! both same and a good car ! wan fuel efficent go for crv can save up RM 30 pe rmonth ! if u add 3 fuel boasters ! Bro argo i am planiing to swich to LPG more comvident so my Civic will take out the Fuel tank and add gas ! haaha more cheaper!

WTF ?!?!? oi ~ read the TS before post lah ~ dun simply spoil ppl topic....... gosh ~

ur Civic 2.0 switch to LPG ? god must be crazy ~

Btw, TS mention within 1 week can get car liao ~ anyone could verify this? I been told last 2-3 weeks ago needed 2 month waiting list

crv isn`t meant for off roading , though the higher ground clearenace might help abit in negoing our malaysia roads . (pot hole, bumps etc )

you forgot his famous civic thread ka ? lol

Cheaper ma ! oil here exp ! almost RM 20 30! ! !

Why not consider nissan x-trail? i saw fifth gear tested all the suv model, nissan x trail is one of the best

oops. Wrong stuff.

I drove the older CRV once...I have to say, quite nice to drive...but I really can't feel the road grip at all maybe I'm not used to it...and also maybe coz it was raining But in my normal car, even in wet I can feel the car is quite stable.

when u buy exp car, dun think bout fuel price... buying exp car means u r willing to spend more on fuel...

Man....

I got all this mini SUV playing on my mind......

RAV4, CRV, Outlander.....Can't make up my mind which one to get....

Saw the RAV4 was reviewed as the best of all...

& now some of you guys come in & tell me X-Trail.......my gawd!!!

Headche...!!!

rav4 the most expensive about rm50k more then the crv

Is it?????

How much is the market price for RAV4 & CRV at your place????

crv 147,800k

rav4 203,384k

price taken from the website ..

RAV4 is expensive because it's CBU

Added on December 6, 2007, 3:31 pm2nd generation CRV uses K20A engine (which uses in JDM civic type-R)
this car is seriously underpowered and quite heavy FC
i thought of sending my dad's car for chipping and retuning

This post has been edited by andyjyneo: Dec 6 2007, 03:31 PM

well.. true, the crv sucks off road.. but, it was never meant 2 be off road in the 1st place.. besides, do u really seriously need off roading capability?? if yes, get another car.. if wat u want is juz a simple 5 seater suv wit reasonably good FC n performance as well as a nice looking interior which is quite well equipped n quite nice 2 drive n also priced under rm150,000, than the crv is ur best bet.. n also, it being a honda, it will have good resale value if compared 2 its korean rivals.. its not very expensive 2 maintain n quite spacious inside too.. i do wish it has 7 seats, coz if it has, it would be pretty much perfect..

the idea of the crv was never for off road anyway.. its suppose 2 be a jacked up hatch.. even the 4wd system isnt exactly a 4wd.. the back wheels only comes 2 life when the front wheels starts 2 spin loads.. so therefore, if it isnt snowing like crazy, its juz 2wd..

seriously, if u can live wit that horribly ugly styling exterior, get the crv.. theres no better choice..

i think theres few topic regarding we debate X-trial.

but, 1st I need to ask you that u taken the SUV for off road purpose or city cruising? which normally u does?

As I say, X-trial also not mean for off road. I drove the X-trial regulary.... and not mean for off road car....

if you say city cruise then X-trial are value for money than CRV

aya hybrid more exp la ! hibrid is not GAS aslo!

the xtrail's quite old already, even the replacement's out already, juz not available in our country yet.. so if compared 2 crv, it has better tech in it..

im not surprised.. cars like these, of coz a bit underpower.. the powertrains that r fitted into em cant quite cope wit the weight.. thats y i was hoping there would be more diesel ones coming into this segment..

outlander already available in this country ah??

This post has been edited by CooShyRee: Dec 6 2007, 03:52 PM

7 seaters = the new stream
pawn wish

the previous crv model is quite nice.. but i don like the rim and tyre.. too small for a huge car.. the inside was nice.. the gear is on the steering and the handbrake is somewhere on the left..

both previous and current CR-V is fine for me, but without spoiler, it sucks

I just came back from Toyota showroom....

I am a on & off road user.......

60% on road & 40% of the time...I will be on f*** up kelapa sawit mud road & some really really bad tar road.......

& I travel long distance on those 40% time...

Wanna get the outlander but just know that it is same price with the fortuner.....

Dad got a old RAV4 so I dun wanna get the same at his....kuat minyak somemore...

just curious, why u not chosing harrier ?

Harrier.............???!!!!!

I damm wish man........but the price..............!!!!!

buyit i will have to sell my butt man........

harrier recond 2004 2.4 premium L @ 170k+. very lasting, my boss car already 7 year ~ no problem.....

in-term comfort/ reliability/ resell value and spacious. this car well worth to take it.

harrier is really a nice car, but with 170k, i prefer 2.0litre wish

the new one kinda big and dumb

with mugen spoiler, see dumb or not

got pic?.. wanna hav a look

yeah, post the picture & see man.......

I need one that look good, able to handle off road from time to time....of course will be great it save on petrol...

Oh one more thing, my future wife just cant drive manual...so I had to opt for auto...

---

Added on December 6, 2007, 7:38 pmYeah, I was being recommended a recon Lexus RX350 with a RM200k price tag....but that was before this...


Let say now I'm in a place that I can get cars with no tax....& that's also explain why I say there is Outlander already here.....

The car price that I can get are as below...


CRV = RM 9,3150

Fortuner = RM 11,5000

Outlander = RM 11,7300

This post has been edited by Saint_Kawa: Dec 6 2007, 07:38 PM

but currently TS use for off-road......... wish sure not the option

if without tax, I think the Lexus were less than 200k also.

Dude, when I was at Toyota...they told me Prado gonna cost around 173k....

So I assumed that Harrier is totally out of the question..........

I don't wanna spend too much on this car man.......wanna go as low as I can

oh ~ i see. not sure with the non tax price car ~ sorry ~

Yeah man..........


Now still thinking what should I get.......dammit


cause I'm worried of getting a wrong one & regret later on......

if you say offroad, CRV not really suitable. X-trail .... ok la ~ price also lower.

alot of people say x trail is a good SUV.. but the new one release in some places.. so up to u

I doubt they got it here...all the Nissan X-trail here are old stuff....

Except the cars like 350z & stuff.........

http://www.mugen-power.com/street/CR-V/

if TS feels that harrier is expensive, maybe fortuner can fit your bill
but as for me, a true loyal honda supporter, cr-v still the best

Guys ... what is the FC feedback for below model? Planning to get one.

that's 2nd generation of CR-V, which is powered by K20A4
FC is quite high, but not much power
this is why honda ditched DOHC engine and placed R20A

that model vomit blood. new model nicer to drive. more pleasant.

my dad has both models.

fc
80-90 full tank can go up to 450km
for me not bad car, the outlook nice if modify it.

I tested drive both old model and new model of CRV. I feel new model is more responsive and lighter than old model but I still consider quite heavy. Both also same, minum minyak and underpower probably because of the weight of the body, I tumpang my friend's new crv from klang to genting highlands, full tank gone. For comfortable, I feel ok only. I am looking forward to book CRV when it launched but after test drive, I change my mind. The price for spec is reasonable. If you got better budget, go for harrier 2.4 recond with Japan spec which currently should be around 160k -170k. Highly recommended, superb comfort and quiet with reverse camera, you will see a big difference when you test drive that car. I am going for that vehicle but still saving money for that since insufficient budget. My housemates bought harrier last year, no problem so far and he is happy with it but devil because always convince me not go for showroom car but recond since much more selection.

new crv more stable coz it has 17" rims.

only if you can control your right leg with the speed of slow turtle.

yeah, same here
dad is driving 2nd gen
wahlau eh

harrier is a referred risk for insurance ocmpany
R20A vs K20A4

yup, 17" looks solid

You must be exagerating the outcome.
The distance between Klang & Genting Highlands paling-paling also 100km.

Assuming the CRV could take in 50 litres of fuel, that translates to 2km / litre!!??
You must be kidding me!! I bet a Ferrari has better FC than that!!

hurm ... im driving a 2004 2.4 CRV fully imported from japan? what engine it is using? just bought it tho...

Harrier very very bumpy for the rear passanger. Some japanese fcuk in the car already and then sell it to you. Use the CSI blue light i bet you can see all the sperm around it.

Since u stated that u doing 40% offroad, i suggest u to get something tougher. CRV, XTRAIL RAV4 are not suitable.

Why not u try out Toyota Fortuner, Mit Pajero Sport. They are much better offroad, cuz hv higher ground clearance. U been through those roads, and i m sure u know what will happen if u drive a car with low clearance. hehe..The feeling is painful.

If u can live with a pick up, suggest u try hilux 3.0.
Forget about those city 4x4.

Toyota Fortuner is really really a fcuk car better go for Pajero sport.

TS, tumpang thread ya, since i also want to ask the same question.

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?

is there any specific forum in the net discussing about 1997 crv? thinking of getting one

nope...only here...

where can i buy this side step?
any 1 have a used 1 to letgo?

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" ?



This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: May 7 2011, 09:17 PM

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.

how much is the new one?

Hi mate, i'm driving a 1st gen crv recon year 96/01. Got it as 2nd owner 4 years ago. Well its been faithfull to me without much hassle with the exception of normal tear n wear only. If u are planning to get 1, just make sure u have your mechanic to check the suspension and engine, plus get it from a credible dealer or owner. If possible get it with all the standard tear n wear parts replaced and u'll be set for couple of years without any sweat. I'll elaborate the standard tear n wear parts are mostly the mountings, bushes and absorbers. But do bear in mind that the original parts are pretty costly as well as a set of absorbers will cost rm1.5k for both front and rear. I did a couple of upgrade to the ride myself which really burns a hole in the pocket of which namely sound proofing the entire car and ICE of course. Hope above said helps u out a bit in deciding to be the owner of a crv rd1. Fuel consumption varies according to your right foot. Well for me on highways cruising, a full tank usually will last me a mileage of 6++kms. On the other hand for city driving, a full tank usually will last me a mileage of 450-500kms.

share some pic of ur ride ICE bro

haha

I've posted the pics of the soundproofing and detail in another forum. U can get it at http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/mal...g-zone-310.html

H.U - Alpine 9835
Amp - Tru T2.100
Component - Rainbow cs265 profi vanadium phase plug
RCA head plug - Monster (no idea what series)
RCA cables - QED original

Total spent including soundproofing >10k

when do we need to change CR-V rear axle gear oil?

I usually change it at a mileage of 20,000km or after 2 years whichever comes 1st.

Do we need to install gearbox ATF cooler for CR-V?
some how like perdana V6?

Not that i know of and mine is still doing fine on stock. No cooler is required unless u are planning to do extensive mods to the engine.

Perdana v6=Malaysia car=boleh car but 'unfortunately' the parts tak boleh.

LOL.......
