Good cars just make sure there is no rear diff shudder. Starters wear out 160-180km on the k24 but they are very cheap new.

Yes reliable, but like any thing depends on servicing and care, So make sure it’s all up to date as on anything the little things can add up after time of neglect. capable of many more miles

Yes they will do 250k easy if serviced. Diff shudder is not a problem, means u need to change your oil .honda have the correct stuff.

ok main big problem i have with any honda is the special honda only fluids that you must have and use if you want it to not go nuclear. Plus a V6 engine any of them are bad no matter what make i have not seen a single good one= one that dont needs a lot of expensive component replacment before it gets nuked . like swirlflap bodys on mercedes for example They are used for lowdown torque and there is no magic wand to not have good power range and pass emissions without all the lego like plastic garbage and on a V engine thats parts for 2 engines not just 1 each side of the V is a engine. its why inline 6 are so much better over a v6 you cant not buy the honda fluid compatible means it does not meet hondas specified specs. the trans fluids cost a fortune something like 125 $ a liter last time i looked. and i guarantee you you will have problems and destruction if its not 100% hondas fluid.

Poppycock mate, had no trouble getting fluids when I ran a Company Accord - which like CRV is a 4 cylinder with conventional Auto not CVT or V6.

yea same as the people who have no problem puting plain water or coolant that is red and is Gm dexcool in to vag and say they had no problems sold it to the next guy who comes here posting what crap vag cars are because it blew up on him.

if the trans is a aisin then its toyota fluids toyota new ones also need special fluid i have 3 different trans fluids in my shop of ATF. and i wont be getting honda fluids as all the fluids i seen do not meet the code honda demands They are compatible= it does voide any warranty and is not correct. it took me 2 years to find out who has a aftermarket coolant that meets the vag G13 coolant standard not just fakes it with the word compatible. if i put tapwater in your cooling system then thats also compatible it dont meets the spec but its compatible i can also pi$$ in there and thats compatible also. i never said it meets the factory spec and you cant sue no one because its compatible by my standard my rules not the specified rules the car maker stipulated. Thats how deceptive the word compatible is. crv likely just a rebadged rav4 toyota. ?

Think 2005 Accord jacked upon stilts. I'm really over simplifying but you get the picture. A few issues with the factory radio/satnav setup in SOME examples but otherwise good cars.

Not quite right, Think Honda Civic jacked upon Stilts , If the CRV was a jacked up Accord ,it would be the size of a Highlander. I know because I traded an Accord for a CRV and the CRV is much smaller.

No mate the Honda CR-V is no relation in anyway to the Toyota RAV4 and Honda make own gearboxes so not an Aisin to best of knowledge. Chill pill mate.
