I have a civic 2.2 es and i have had and still got most of the problems everybody else has. I have just seen the new brochure for the new crv and as i now need a medium size 4x4 it has got everything i need spec wise(you name it its got it )
But after my civic would it work
I do not think i would never buy a new honda untill it has been tested properly
Honda are now using customers to do there job

Brodick · 9th January 2007, 16:48

Well i hope they have got things right with thew CR-V
I am due to change my V in April/ May this year
and will be having a good nosey whilst at the dealers
on wednesday about my our new Civic

I would still buy a honda rather than a toyota or ford etc

Tony Fendall · 9th January 2007, 20:58

I met up with a Honda Area Fleet manager this morning at work and he let me take his new CRV out for a 1/2hr spin.
Very well put together, quite conventional, very quiet.
It was a 2.2 diesel, manual 6 speed box.
I found 1st,2nd and 3rd gears low and close together with a gap to 4th,5th and 6th.
I felt the need to drop to 4th in 30mph limits, where I would have thought 5th would do; however the engine had 65miles on the clock.
Regards
Tony

What about the claims it handles like a car?

Tony Fendall · 10th January 2007, 10:14

Well that's a reasonable claim, but it doesn't handle like a Civic.

I was thinking of changing our Discovery for the new CR-V, but after seeing the styling of the front I am not sure any more. Maybe it's something we need to get used to like the rear of the Civic.

Tony Fendall · 11th January 2007, 16:07

Could be worse, like the Porsche Cayenne, yuk!!

Very true

Mark996 · 12th January 2007, 19:22

I've just got back from the 'States this morning, and saw a few of these 'New Model CRV's over there...like this.....

http://automobiles.honda.com/models/...delName=CR%2DV

And yes, the front really does look THAT bad 'in the flesh' too......

Brodick · 12th January 2007, 21:21

altough it is basically the same car the UK version looks better and is far superior to the American Version

Brodick · 12th January 2007, 21:33

Nice.

Very very nice

czechplastik · 12th January 2007, 21:37

I agree its hard to get used to it, i don't think its bad, just different, overall the car looks quite 'mature', certainly has a butch element to it. And as TonyF says, better than the Cayenne, even with its facelift!

Tony Fendall · 23rd January 2007, 22:19

I would rather buy the American one. For the £11,000 it's a snip!
Tony

Mark996 · 23rd January 2007, 22:34

You don't know the half of it Tony - I saw a used (Just 2400 miles though) Nissan 350Z on an official Nissan forecourt whilst over there for the equivelent of £7200!!!!!

Oh no it hasn't got half the kit the UK models come with and it would be to much like hard work trying to match the spec

Even though it's going to cost me £££££

Tony Fendall · 24th January 2007, 13:29

Wot £11,000 worth of kit! But I jest, however car prices in the UK are still too high.
