I bought a 2012 for my wife 3 years ago. She wanted a Jeep and I gently said HELL NO! 148K miles and going strong
Jeep = Fiat. Stay away from italian cars
Not all heroes wear capes! ✨👏🏼
How come she doesn't buy her own car?
bravo! friggin jeep/ chrysler with a fiat part bin motor power train
@@jamessapnaro6089 because she doesn’t need to!
No I swear to God scotty I seen a honda crosstour a couple months ago and said that's my new dream car. Please don't bring attention too them I need it cheap!!
Best of luck. The dealer calls us asking to buy it, said they have over 20 people on a waiting list for when they get them. they're great! Hope you can find one for yourself.
I think the Crosstour has a really nice side profile!
@@mcc7762 well, Si is my dreamcar. Just dont want to drive manual hear on jersey. Lol
They were already sky high in prices.
You don't have to blaspheme God
My grandpa bought a 2012 crosstour in 2019, $1500 with 220k miles on it and it's still running to this day with over 300k miles. He got a quote from carmax recently and they said they'd give him 5k for the car🤣🤣🤣
Your gpa got a hell of of deal. I was selling used cars then and we sold Crosstours with that mileage for $7k all day long
Art of the deal
5k for a 300000 mile car, man the used car market has gone crazy..Don't get me wrong I own 2 Hondas closing in on 150000 miles and I now have a new goal....
@@tonyjordan1320 I have an accord with 369k miles
@@kingyeti6336 I'm pulling for you to make 400k, or more....
I have one the same color and year. I purchased it just about a year ago and haven’t regretted it yet. 127,000 miles and still going strong! Great video too!
Low mileage!!
For a Honda it's still low mileage
Hopefully not the Nissan he was talking about!
Purchasing a 2012 crosstour this week as an upgrade from my 2003 accord - saying I’m excited is an understatement.
Won’t be dissatisfied
best car ive ever purchased - just a little tip though, the 2012 crosstours come with really aggressive cylinder deactivation that causes piston ring burnout and VERY expensive specialized active mounts to dampen said cylinder deactivation (about a $2k in parts alone fix for the mounts) - Id highly recommend picking up a SVCM or VCMTuner II from their googled sites - this little device tricks the thermostat to be 'under full operating temperature by a few degrees' to keep the car in V6 mode at ALL times - Month one of owning one and you WILL notice the lack of power when switching from 3/4 cylinder mode to v6 - Skip it all together and get that little device, itll save your wallet down the line and also give you MUCH more enjoyment out of your crosstour having the full V6 on tap at all times - At most, it takes 5-10 minutes to install and you will no longer get the dreaded 'ECO' light (which means its in 3/4 cylinder mode - BOO) - As for gas mileage, sure, you will lose about 2-3MPG (from what i observed) at most but its not about the gas mileage with these things; it was always meant to be about the drive but EPA had to neuter anything with the words 'V6' in them from the time they were built until now
a 15 year old car ?
@@missingremote4388 Ummm.....math?
Honda is the way to go!!! Honda person here!!! My 1999 Accord went up to 319,000miles until it was rear ended 🥲
I hope my 93 prelude can make it that far. Currently at 221k miles
They're essentially an Accord Wagon. With a little more ground clearance. It was probably trying to compete with the Outback
Iirc it was originally talked about as a wagon, like the old ones but then they dropped wagon and went with crosstour
@Tay Bougie yeah, and butt ugly!
I am SO sad!! I bought a pre-owned 2011 Honda Crosstour in 2014. Sadly, a person driving without a license hit us as she ran the red light. I only got to drive it for about 50,000 miles before it was totaled 😞I loved it SO much!!!
The Honda Crosstour is a vehicle I never seen and heard before Scotty talks about. This is the second time hearing about it
Theres like 6 including mine in my area
I bought 2010 6 years ago with 40k on it. It has 155k on it now. The big issue with this car has been the variable cylinder management causing misfires. I got the vcm muzzler which disables it and oil burning and plug fouling has gone away. Along with 1 - 2 mpg. Its a great car. I wish I had the 2012+ with a 6 speed transmission but ce la vie. It also handles quite well in the snow.
You on my 2012 v6 coupe i gt misfires but due to a dying battery. Replaced it and misfires stop
There are two things you can always count on with Scotty, 1) Great Information and 2) Great laughs. Amazing guy!
Nothing wrong with a timing belt driven engine as long as you service it accordingly and change your oil to minimize friction between your rotating parts. From what I’ve seen, historically timing belt engines run smoother and much quieter than metal chains. The only advantage with chains is that they can last 4x as long though that’s not guaranteed.
I would take a belt over a chain in a German car every time, since they don't know how to make the chain last. But on Hondas and Toyotas I would rather take the chain, because they know how to do it.
I’ve gotten one over a year ago, after ditching the 06 Chevy Impala SS… Let’s just say I love my 2010 Crosstour. That V6 V-TEC is great and gas mpg is not shabby. It even perfectly fits my Great Dane Lab mix with the seats folded down. Sound system isn’t something to shake a finger at either.
Jacob I'm undecided between and Impala and a Honda Crosstour, being a 6'4 guy , which car do you think I'd fit better into?
I bought the same car used at a 210,000 miles it's now going on 300,000 starting to have some issues with suspension components ; possibly timing belt. but I love this car. I want it to run forever!
Better change that timing belt. If that goes the engine is toast. Just had mine replaced at a local Honda dealer for $1,600 parts and labor.
Love my 2014, they ditched the accord Crosstour and just went with Crosstour. $15k only had 60k on odometer and the EL X package. The teardrop design, drop the backseats and I can sleep in the back no problem. Mine is only 2WD. I live in the Mountains of Colorado, put a set of Cross Climate 2’s on it, snow not a problem.
I have a 2012 Crosstour V6 with Navi and still love it. I've had it for nearly 10 years too!
My Mom has a 2010. I helped her purchase it new & all we have done are oil changes, tires, brakes & battery. Low cost of ownership compared to her prior vehicle- Mercedes CLK320- very high maintenance costs!!!!
We bought a brand new 2014 Crosstour EX-L in 2014. We still have it. Looks like new. Drives like new and only thing we've done iin all those years is basic scheduled maintenance. It's absolutely amazing in the snow. Prob keep it a couple more years & give it to one of our kids
2015 Crosstour owner here. I love it. Went from a 2005 Pilot over 300k miles to the Crosstour. ❤
This car is criminally underrated
I have a 2010 Crosstour, 190,000 miles and it run great. Best car I've ever owned. I believe it's the perfect car for me here in Minnesota.
AWD, extra ground clearance for when it snows.
I was thinking of buying an 08 MDX and turning it into a camper and traveling the country, cleaning myself at recreational centers, this too now I suppose.
I wanted a Crousstour the moment I first saw it, couldn't found one in my city with less then 150k miles and people wanted good money for them (now I can undestand why), instead I went for a 2014 Camry which has been reliable and I love it, only 54k miles as of today, next time I'm definetly going for a Crousstour.
I got a 2010 Crosstour, 300,000Km. Handles great in the snow. Love it!

I was actually thinking about buying these lately, seems like a good car I can go camping with
Very well built
i loved my v6 accord so crosstour sounds awesome
I’m 6’ tall, with the seats down I can sleep comfortably in the back no problem. Have done this multiple times. I have a 2014.
Great cars I have had one that I've owned for 2 years now. The suspension system does get overwhelmed off road just on gravel.
My family has had our 2012 crosstour for 10 years. Still runs as good as it did when we bought it. I am also impressed of how it handles snow.
My parents bought one of these when they first came out. Ugly as sin but reliable and comfortable.
More ugly than most sins.
Yep that thing is ugly but that engine is bulletproof.
Toyota Prius’s are ugly 🤮
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." 🙂
@@robertburns3014 Yes and so is ugly. This thing is world class butt ugly.
You are absolutely right. The best car I have ever owned. Great in the snow without being an SUV and carries all my camping gear. The seats fold down flat so I camp out of the back.
I was going to trade in my 2014 Crosstour EX-L for a new Ridgeline but I like the Crosstour so much I decided to keep it and get a Toyota Tacoma SR with the four cylinder and two wheel drive instead. The Taco should arrive in the next two weeks and I'm looking forward to having a truck again.
I love my 2010 Crosstour. It's at 166,000 miles still going strong and still look brand new!
I absolutely love my 2013 Honda Crosstour with a V-6. I bought I with 11,000 miles on it. I drove it a while before I began having a problem with the starter. My “former” mechanic said the year model had issues with the starter the so he replaced it with an aftermarket starter for about $600 and I continued to have the same problem. It would alway start but it was still annoying. I finally found the fix online and my current mechanic took care of it for a reasonable price. She runs like a dream, comfortable, fast, roomy enough for us to take trips. I’m keeping it, only about 66,000 miles now. My boss got his daughter’s Honda Accord when she bought a new car. It has 200,000 miles on it. I drove it for him to drop it off for a tune up and it drove just like mine.
What was the fix for your starter? My 2014 is having intermittent problems with the starter, otherwise its a workhorse DD!
What is the fix?
I absolutely love Honda crosstours! The reason why is that I always loved Honda Accord station wagons from the late '80s and '90s! Tremendous vehicles in terms of how they look and how they run. I almost bought a a crosstour recently but ending up finding a hell of a deal on a 2006 Honda CRV that is in very very good shape. Maybe one of these days I'll get a crosstour to place next to my CRV
wont be disappointed - honestly, except for the Accord Sport/tours, these really are one of the best vehicles to purchase for a 'fair' price and have a blast on backroads and just general driving in it - Plenty of everything in it from power, to looks (subjective i know), to interior quality - Honda really knocked it out of the park with the Crosstour; its just a shame they had to butcher it with their aggressive cylinder deactivation - Without it, it would be the best bang for buck 'tourer' car hands down
@@kendog0013 what is aggressive cylinder deactivation?
Bought a brand new 2012 Honda Crosstour 11 years ago and wish I would have bought something else. I had 2 Honda Accords previously and almost no trouble at all. First Accord purchased in 1988 and the second in 2000. When I bought the Crosstour I felt a big vibration or shaking in the car between 21-25 mph. Had it back in the shop about 5 within the first 6 months of my purchase. The car dealership replaced many things on the front end but couldn’t fix the vibration. Had one of their car mechanics drive it with me in the car and he definitely felt the terrible shaking. The dealership couldn’t fix it so they called Honda of America. Honda of America basically said there is nothing wrong with the car. Since I don’t like conflict I just let it go and drive my car with the terrible shaking between 21-25 mph. And now the the car is older it also shakes between 35-40 mph.
If you think this is the only Crosstour with this problem and Google it and you will find many other owners with the same problem.
The shaking isn’t the only problem I’ve had. I only keep the car because the price of new or used cars is high and retired on a small income.
I have the same 2010 model year but with the 2 wheel front drive V6 engine version. I consider it a Accord Wagon because of the ground clearance and 18" wheels. The V6 3.5L engine is the same engine for the Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline. The only negative review I have is the bad turning radius and poor rear view visibility because of the sloping rear window. The Eco mode for the VCM V6 engines (Variable Cylinder Management) also is an issue but you can buy after market gadgets that disables that.
The j35z2 was only used in the 08-12 accord, 10-12 crosstour, 13-18 RDX, and the jdm 07-12 inspire. There were other j35s that were used elsewhere but this one wasnt in the odyssey, pilot, or ridgeline
@@packerman1203 Technically your right because of the VCM mode. But other than that I also have a 2009 Odyssey and they basically share the same basic parts, like oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, serpentine belt, timing belt and so on...
I'm a Honda guy thru and thru, almost bought a crosstour but went with a crv. On my 3rd crv, just traded my 2009 with 310k miles. Totalled one hitting a deer on hwy
I have the exact same car, exact same year. Right now, it's got about 230,000 miles on it. My daughter is driving it away at school now. Now I've got a Ridgeline..
back in the 1980's when I worked for Honda they made a Hatchback Accord. At the time I though and still do, that it was one of their most practical cars ever. While I had Civic hatches I really liked the additional room of the Accord version.
These are the new station wagons. The only thing I've heard of that's bad about the Accord is that the transmissions usually start to wear out between 150,000 and 200,000 miles with the V-6. The ones with the 4 cylinder engines can go 300,000 if you change the fluid regularly.
Just bought one the other day with 116k miles for $9500. Glad to know I made a good purchase 👍🏻
8900 last week 2010 w 110k EX-L
There is nothing wrong with the Crosstour however i get the exterior look may not be for everyone. And I also found out from a couple Honda dealerships that folks are looking to buy the Crosstour but they of course do not make them anymore.
I had a 2014 V6 Accord Coupe EX-L but had to sell after i was rear-ended so I bought a 2013 Crosstour EX-L V6 with Navi about 9 months ago and I love it. Had 118K at the time of purchase and I now have 130K. The previous owner kept it well maintained and I am doing the same.
No problems, it drives extremely comfortably, still getting about 33 mpg on average, and I've never gotten stuck in the snow with its 4WD/AWD.
When Honda went to a chain from a belt on the J series it went from 4.5 quarts of oil to 5.5-6. They kept the belts I think because they had to redesign the oil system.
My J35Y1 in my 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Coupe takes 4.5 quarts of 0w-20. I've never put 5 quarts in. It would be too much.
@@gabevillarreal96 your engine (although not quite as good as the Y2 in the manual transmissions) has a timing BELT and therefore takes 4.5 quarts as I stated earlier. Honda went to a chain starting with the 2017 Ridgeline.
@@SuperDancingdonkey You said "when honda went to a belt on the J series ( mine is a j series and has a belt) it went from 4.5 quarts to 5.5-6. Mine is a j series abd has a belt and did not go from 4.5-5.5-6. It takes 4.5. I knew that. If you read your post, that's not what you say. You say when honda went to a belt on the j series it went from 4.5-5.5-6. There are many j series engines. Be specific. And not quite as good? While I'd prefer a manual they are very rare and while I don't love the vcm I do get 34-35 on my 2700 mile trip to Texas and bscl in the summer. The j35y2 isn't getting that with the shorter top gear and no vcm. Mine is a more advanced motor so "not quite as good" is an opinion and relative to the owners wants and needs
@@gabevillarreal96 I apologize if wrote belt instead of chain. I think anyone watching this video in context knows I meant belt to chain. As far as opinions, you are correct it is all subjective. To me the point of the V6 over the 4 is to have the best engine. If I wanted good fuel economy I would get the 4. However if you want a V6 and an automatic then all J series engines not in the Odyssey are pretty good.
@@SuperDancingdonkey WE know what you wrote. I might have assumed you meant chain but when you argued incorrectly I had to let you know. All is well. And I like both. V6 power and smoothness along with really excellent fuel efficiency for a near 300hp v6. Around town though I would prefer to not have the vcm turn off and on though but I've lived with it for 7 years without issue. Reliability has been stellar and its been paid off for 4 years so I will be keeping it for the foreseeable future. 6 speed automatic has been bulletproof with me draining and filling the tranny fluid every 20k.
I have a 2010 Crosstour with 178,000. Still running like a champ!!!
Budget Porsche Panamera.
Great car, I love mine!
We had two cross tours. 2010 and 2012. Obviously we loved the car. Stupid Honda stopped making them and hence we spent our money elsewhere.
That little A30M can even do most of the bi-directional controls. It's by far the best scan tool FOR THE MONEY.. for what it can do for being that cheap. The reason it's so slow is because it's Bluetooth.. Even the really high dollar scan tools are slower when they are bluetooth.
Scotty, maybe a video in 3 segments showing what maintenance items to check with popular vehicles: example, buy a Honda, check the timing belt/water pump, that sort of thing.
I have a 2011 HONDA CT. 146000 MILES. LOWERED ON COIL-OVERS. 20S.
LOOKS LIKE A PORSCHE PANORAMA from the side/back. Lol..
I luv it!
The XTOOL AnyScan A30M is slow because of your phone (a newer iPhone 11/12/13 Pro may be faster), but it's also slow because it's a WiFi/Bluetooth connection instead of wired. I'm sure you know this, but it should also be said. Even still, for all it does, that's a great price. I was gonna buy an XTOOL D7 or D8, but the '95 car I have now doesn't do much through OBD2, so I'll wait until I get a car that does... if that ever happens.
Terrific Vehicle.
Now Scotty…..do a video on the Toyota FJ Cruiser! The resale value of that SUV has skyrocketed!!
Watch out for internal rust in trunk and wheel well above gas tank in thr newer ones. They aren't sealed well and will rust from inside out
Crosstour was Honda's equivalent/competitor to the Toyota Venza, both were produced pretty much the same years. Venza sold a lot more- both were good ,reliable cars, but neither sold all that well, possibly due to the high price/ in-house competition. For a little more you could get an Acura ZDX or a Lexus RX 350.
Hell, one of my mom's brother in-laws got a new Venza years ago to replace their totaled 2001 Oddessy. He and his wife didn't like how it wasn't a comfortable ride, so they traded it for a Sienna instead.
@Jonathan A
I mean, we live in OKC, and the road conditions here aren't that great.
@@XzTS-Roostro They were comfortable vehicles once you got rid of the 20" wheels /low profile tires.
@Jonathan A
Hell, I was born in Fairfax County, Virginia; lived there for roughly the first eight years of my life.
Also, everyone there drives better than those here in OKC. Everyone here thinks they're better than the other, but everyone here sucks, they don't always signal (and it's not even Asian drivers)!
@@thesultan4030 true, small low profile isn't really designed for comfort
I got a 2012 Crosstour in 2020. 14K, 35K miles on it.
At almost 100k on it now with absolutely no maintenance (not that that says much with such low miles). One thing to know is this has VCM "eco mode." Isn't all a VCM stomper off eBay those eco mode things are awful on your engine.
Babying it. Wanna drive it into the ground.
Change the timing belt
Current mileage on my 2010 accord sedan 4 cyl is 280,000 still shifts beautifully 💪🏼
Hey Scotty. Long time watcher. We actually got one after seeing the last vid you made on this car. Love it. Currently having abs and vsa light on. Buying a scanner to see what the issues are.
Honda is the greatest car company ever conceived.
Faster than a Toyota
More fun than a Toyota
Just as Reliable as a Toyota
And more reliable than anything else
US Honda sales 2021 1,466,630.
US Toyota sales 2021 2,332,262 Nearly 1 Million more!!!!!!!!
Toyota has better automatic transmissions than Honda and because of that a more consistent reliability record
@@theroyalcrown9165 that usually applies to older cars like the Odyssey, Civic and Accord, they seem to be doing better nowadays. Either way I'd still get a car from either manufacturer with a standard transmission lol
I still see quite a few accord Crosstours in my neighborhood. They sure look like they are in pretty good shape.
Scotty, Can you cover the topic of economy modes in Honda Odyssey 2006 and Accord 2012.
It seems to be that eco modes need to be stopped or prevented from being used to allow the older engines to work better and stop oil issues.
That's why the American brands (GM, Ford & Chrysler) stopped making sedans/wagons because they want to make higher profit margin SUV crossovers and the those sedans make less profit
My 2007 Pilot has 425000 miles and we take care of each other quite well!
I found these like 3 years ago when I was trying to find a Honda Accord that was all wheel drive.
They were nice looking cars I agree. I had a Honda Civic Sport and the seats were also very comfortable.
I recommended this car to a friend a few years ago. It was very much overlooked
So, I drive a 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat with a 5.4 engine. I ONLY have 335,000 miles with the original engine, 2nd transmission. No major work on engine, just usual upkeep on the entire truck. Granted it is mostly highway miles (approximately 75%).
"You don't expect airbags to work that well in a 12-year-old car! Buckle up with your seatbelt." Well that was comforting😂😂😂😂😂
I friggin LOVE my 2013 Crosstour EX V6- only brand new car I ever bought new!.. they weren’t selling so Honda offered a super rare cash incentive $5k off & I couldn’t find a used one for cheaper!!
I still get compliments on it & ppl are surprised to learn it’s a Honda cuz it’s so sexy! The factory roof racks were 100% worth it & a rear hitch to install a carrier/bike rack rocks
Very insightful video! Thank you very much!
Been a fan of Scotry for the longest. So happy to see hok hive props to this sleeper. Man i love my crosstour.
Its looks sleek, its fast, never had any issues with the engine.
Only problem is the bad roads here in Nigeria.
Personally not a fan of the look of those style cars, but my father owned one for a few years back , very comfortable and reliable vehicle. That model , acura has a similar 1, bmw x6, mercedes has 1 too........look like turtle cars to me. The extra space in the back is functional tho.
I had one for a while !!
It ran great 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Have a 2005 Accord coupe I wouldn't trade for one of those. It's a great car, no timing belt, and a lot less electronic junk to go wrong as well. These days that's a big deal.
It's kind of like Honda's version of the Pontiac Aztec, but much better made, no doubt. Kinda weird, in between sort of vehicle, not popular, but they're out there if you look around. And I've known a couple of people who owned an Aztec. Each had different opinions about the car, but they were good for utility, as long as they lasted. Will, perhaps, look for a Crosstour in the not too distant future. Another thorough vid by our good buddy, Scotty.👍
The main advantage of a manual transmission is that no need to check the fluid level like the useless automatic. And it cost less, too.
If a manual transmission runs out of lubrication, it will fail just like an automatic. But agreed, if automatics were never designed, no one would even demand for one.
I bought one a year ago and I love it. And you wouldn't believe how many people don't even know about it.
Scotty, I have the Bluedriver scan tool based on your liking of it and it’s been great. How is the Xtool different?
Whats funny is I picked a b3000 then saw Scottys video, now my next cars gonna be a crosstour and he's already got a video up. 😅
I'm not sure why Scotty still complains about the timing belts. Sure, you have to change them every 100k miles. However, that really means that you'll likely only change it (at most, assuming you bought the car new) three times! Big whoop!
He’s complaining because Toyota builds an even more reliable 3.5 V6 that has a chain that never needs changing (even Hondas 4 cylinders use chains). If they wanted too Honda could build one too, but it seems like laziness on their part especially factoring in their use non self adjusting valves.
shoulda bought one when I got my '12 Accord. I had just stated a new job and wanted to scrimp, but the Accord se is still ticking along at 110K
Keep the oil changed every 5k and that accord can last a lot longer than that
@@lesterparker1594 i'm more concerned with the dashboard light bulbs.
I have 225x on my 09. Some of the best cars made
This thing looks awesome, I'm surprised the crosstours are so rare
The Honda Element was a great car as well.
A crosstour... let's be honest I work for honda now that motor will last as long as you keep up with the timing belt (every 7 years or 105k miles) and they have a terrible problem with the timing belt tensioner going bad quicker and the oil pump leaks like a mother on most. The biggest problem is the trans they don't last. However a lot of the time a stupid pressure switch goes bad not a big deal but however you don't change the fluid for the trans the clutch packs go bad so quick. Honda says every 30k miles change the trans fluid however I found every 30k to 50k miles will work just fine. Also a silly problem all bigger Hondas have problems with is sway bar end links. And the only times I personally have ever seen a dtc come on from a battery change is whatever code it is will end with low voltage not anything else
What you have described is exactly what happened to mine. I mean it served me well for 10. Years (127k). I Just bought a Toyota Highlander last week. My crosstour became a money pit.
I went after market on my headlamps and IAM glad I did.
really wanted to buy one of these, but couldn't find one in my local area. i have a 2003 civic now, and i'm quite pleased with it. 106k miles when i bought it a month ago.
My daily driver is a 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, in 2023.
1:40 damn scotty, why you gotta spit on the camera for 😂
I have one and, honestly had some problems with it, but I love the thing! Great ride, very capable in bad weather and powerful! I recently blew off a new body Accord 2.0T. He was surprised, I wasn’t. Above 4k rpm with the 3.5 V6, hold on!!!
Had three still have 2 I be knowing 💪🏽
wow
got a 2010
Wish Honda brought back the Crosstour. Market is in desperate need for another middle class reliable wagon. Only game in town is Subaru
This guy is a legend.
I've got a 2012 Crosstour, AWD. 155k miles. Great car.
My 2010 crosstour has 172,000 miles on it, I love that car to death and hate to say that I abuse it 😅 I’ve only ever had to replace spark plugs a couple months ago *that where stock* and the alternator… but I spend hours in this car running idol with the ac on and music playing… man does it turn heads :))
My wife's '06 Accord drives and rides like new, 170,000 miles. I read that the Crosstour was not that popular was that the visibility to the rear was terrible and with the sloping rear end had less cargo space than the Accord.
Visibility is just fine with the cars.
Poor
I have the 2014 exl Crosstour, they put cameras on mirrors so when you flick ur turn signal it shows u ur blind spot.
I’m only in my early 40s but hopefully I’m dead before I need to buy another car. Earth sucks. Anyway, these are hideous but they are cool and reliable aside from the timing belts lol. Love the videos Scotty. 😮
Mine has the inline 4 cylinder. 2012 crosstour. It's a gas sipper. I wish I had the awd but I'm glad with the gas prices I have on the smaller engine.
Here's another one that's rare. Honda CITY GM2 where majority only in South East Asia 2009-2014. There is no reviews from West, Japan or Europe for this good looking honda's car.
I love my 2010 crosstour, it has 244000 on it so far!
I have a 2010 Crosstour and it has been excellent and I get 26 mpg at 75 mph on freeways. 19 in town😎
My nephew has this Honda Crossstour. So smooth.
I'm curious about the decision to purchase aftermarket head lights instead of polishing. Replacing headlights seems like a very expensive option.
Talk about an eye opener when you realize that a car is going to outlast you. It's kind of depressing actually.
