This video is ten years old now, but everything said still remains true. I recently bought a 2010 CR-V from the original owner and so far, it's a wonderful old car that runs and looks great. The fact that I still see so many 3rd generation CR-Vs on the road in 2023, is testament to how good the design was.
LOVE this vehicle!!! I'm a huge fan of the 3rd generation (2007 - 2011) model; I think they're more attractive than all the CR-Vs out there. I can't wait to pick-up mine (Borrego Beige Metallic)!!!
All about the Honda that the guy didn't say 1: 180HP 2: map that u can play 3: 6 batterie cable front/back 4: they have blue tooth to call 5: if you go inside and look at the top of the roof, two sun roofs And 6 my dad has that
Agreed 100%. what makes the cr-v a cr-v is its ruggedness with modern city refinements throughout. LOADS of owners on forums use these in snow, towing, offroading, hell even as military CUV'S for transport actually. not to mention in urban city areas potholes will really bend a rim if the tire is thin enough.
Good review, I have a 2012 CR-V which as you probably know was the first year of the 4th generation. I have to say, I like it much better than I thought I would. I bought it used in November 2018 with 94k miles on it and I already have almost 125k miles on it. It's been a great car. The dealer I bought it from also had a 2010 in this exact blue color so I test drove it. I liked mine a lot better and thought there was a noticeable difference in power. The 2010 felt kind of slow but mine actually has great low end pep for around town driving. Yeah it's slow on the highway but I will say the engine is buttery smooth and very quiet, definitely the nicest 4 cylinder I've ever driven. My grandfather also has a 2010 and he even asked me if they improved the power for my gen haha. Mine is an EX-L so it's got leather and is nicely loaded. I think you gave this a very fair review. It isn't the nicest vehicle inside but it's simple, practical, and reasonably comfortable. Most importantly, it's so easy to drive for anybody and I think that goes a long way if you're shopping for a vehicle in this class. That combined with Honda reliability. Now I will say to anyone looking at a CR-V that the 4th gen would be a worthy upgrade over the 3rd gen. Nothing wrong with this gen, they're just not as nice overall IMO. Plus a 4th gen would be newer and more likely to have fewer miles and be in nicer shape.
Great review! For the current generation, I think they need to bring back the 240-hp J30 V6 as an option on the EX and EX-L. i also think they need a CR-V Touring with LaneWatch, push-buttion start, power tailgate, memory drivers seat, and maybe some other premium features.
I have a 2010 CRV in gray! I absolutely love it, especially how fun to drive it is for it’s size, it’s power, and how much space it has! The only two things I don’t like, are that it is surprisingly an absolute pig on gas(only 18 miles per gallon) and it has a SERIOUS blind spot.
One routine maintenance item on the crv k2 engine is the valve adjustment that is required. Not many owners have it done. Maybe this is the reason your mpg's are like a pig.
Honda's legendary 2.4L K-series 4 cylinder is one of the best 4 cylinders ever made. I've always loved its sound, its smoothness, and just the reliability that is has.
It is something new to crave judging by its sales. we wanted our 2006 and its simple you want to pass someone you put your foot in it.my mom likes the way it sounds because she drove around in a CRX 5 speed manual for 10 years.we have 2 of this gen CR-V in my family and one 2nd gen in our driveway.its marketed as a car that will get you where you need to be no matter WHAT condition.and carry your stuff. change rim size were affecting pothole bending/light offroading/tow loads. which is important
My 3rd generation CR-V is from Japan right hand drive I imported this CR-V in Canada from Japan it's fully loaded with navigation, side beading, fog lights, nice body lips, this 3rd generation CR-V looks much better.
I would love to own one of these, can't wait to afford to be able to get a CRV. Hopefully soon, because my aging 1998 Civic DX with 207,000 miles isn't gonna last forever. Well it might, it's still a Honda after all.
as an owner of two honda 5AT transmisisons, they have been more reliable then anything german ever could be. i am sorry but its damn true and everyone knows it. the vibration ECU thing was only in V6 engines due to gearing for the LOWEST RPM the car can run in and downshifts held it creating a vibration. owned an 03 odyssey for 175,000 miles, HAVE a 12 pilot with 11K AND an 06 cr-v SE with 75K miles and NEITHER of them needed a single repair.
Another good example is my friend's 96 BMW 328i. 235k on it and minimal repairs in the time he has had it and he does have the service records from the previous 2 owners. Overall it was only marginally more expensive to maintain than a G35 would cost.
My neighbors drive this car. It's very nice to cruise in. Very comfortable. Rode in it once on the way to Mammoth to go snowboarding a couple years ago.
We used to have a 2004 Odyssey and the transmission failed at 108,000 miles, so I am very aware of the transmission problems :p Early 2000 Honda products were plagued with transmission problems, but Honda/Acura has mostly rectified those issues. Yes, I'm well aware that some people have had issues with transmissions since then, but it's a VERY small amount. I am not afraid to admit Honda has issues, no car manufacture is perfect. Honda's are generally reliable cars and you know it.
Actually the trans problems still continue. The TLs are having a TC issue that causes a vibration felt through the pedal and the ECU was reprogrammed in order to alleviate that problem but for most owners the problems still continue. IMHO Japanese cars nowadays aren't as reliable as people claim and German cars aren't as unreliable as people claim. In general they're still reliable but overall the Japanese companies are relying on customer loyalism vs. actual quality.
I like how when Toyota started the segment both toyota and Honda had the side hinged doors. Then years later they switched to the top hinged doors like the traditional SUV.
This vtec engine sounds great. I recently replaced my 2011 cr-v lx with a 2018 Accord 2.0T Sport MT, and while I love my Accord I still think about that 2.4...
My parents have this (same trim and color), and I drive it time to time. Two things I really liked! First, if your windshield wipers are on and you put it into reverse.. the back wiper turns on to give you a clear view behind you. Second, the cargo cover in the back is hard. It can hold about 20 pounds on top of it. But you can remove it from the "shelf" and it can be placed flat on the floor of the trunk space. Overall a great looking vehicle, and it's aged very well.
Watch his review of the 2010 RAV4 Limited. I'll take the RAV4 with it's V6, 5sp auto, 4wd button and still 26 mpg highway. I think the RAV has better looks and the rear side window doesn't have that ugly and visibility reducing slop. The back side door could be annoying though. 3500 towing with tow package so, it's perfect for us. Cheers
Well an Infiniti G37 or Acura TL SH AWD isn't really cheap to maintain either. They have complicated suspension parts (multi link) and brakes/tires are eaten up quite often. They will be cheaper overall and the visits to the shop will be less than their German rivals but I have a few German cars in the family and they've been relatively problem free. Uncle's 2005 E320 Benz with 175k on it has been great, only wear and tear parts were changed out.
hello... have you done the 2013 yet? or are you still planning a 2013 CR-V review?... i already bought a 2013 EX...lol..i still would like to see your review on that or my car.... luv my 2013 CR-V... even though most reviewers mention that this car isn't eye candy. an the transmission an engine are outdated the car does what Honda designed it to do... performs... i really enjoy your reviews... thank you...
I completely AGREE with you. I am no honda loyalist, and realize no car is perfect, some are more prone to problems than others. This individual believes German cars are reliable is simply not true. My aunt bought a used 2001 MB SLK and that thing has given her costly problems. But she wanted the car since she hasnt treated herself to a nice sports car and since she was getting a good deal from her friend, she will deal with it. I told her why deal with the pain of sending it in all the time
my aunt has had two early 2000's jettas. in the early 2000's german transmisisons were not reliable either. im not arguing with you japan has the relibility edge and still has. i have one 2009 toyota with 111K miles and two newer hondas both with zero problems. you cant knock a brand like honda for reliability its just not happening. they won countless awards including one this year for the best mainstream brand for resale and longevity behind them,
Well I've driven a Lexus ES350 and one thing it lacked was that solid and stable feeling. It just didn't have that heavy weighted feeling a German car provides when going down the road. Doors didn't "thunk" and it felt more upscale Toyota rather than something of distinction and on it's own. Engine/Trans was silky smooth so I can't fault that but the "feel" just wasn't there. It's ever present in the Benz though.
My grandma has a crv, black with leather. Its pretty nice and simple. Interior looks great although the hard touch is semi disappointing. Great mpg. Good upgrade from her old tahoe getting 12mpg.
What year TLs are you referring too? And German cars are still unreliable just from what my family have encountered over their many German cars they had They have improved with their current generations but older models still suffer costly repairs for small parts failing. My cousins 04 330i has many knocking sounds, squeaks, electrical problems with gauge cluster and faulty sensors, she bought it new. Same goes for MB c320 that my cousins GF has, only reason for keeping it is her dealership
The German ZF 6 speed auto is a reliable and silky smooth shifting transmission. The same can't be said for a Honda/Acura AT, heck Toyota uses a smoother transmission so it's possible for a transmission that's seamless running through the gears. I won't doubt that all around the Japanese brands are still reliable but the older examples were better which sort of makes me wonder what the future models will be like.
Lol luck may be a factor but that car is a wonderful driving experience and the fact that it was quite reliable makes the whole thing even sweeter. I'm not a fan of how the Honda/Acura 5AT shifts, they're quick shifting but you feel the transitions between gears which is a bit annoying in city driving.
agreed. im pretty tired of hearing that argument. japan will ALWAYS have the reliability edge going for it. look at ford and their tech and BMW and their high price tags for the tech and then look how long the tech even lasts compared to honda/acuras nav system, toyotas link system and hybrid powertrains and nissans CVT's. they do the best real world fuel economy numbers and resale as well. and that's why i prefer them
Acura's, Lexus's and Infiniti's are not known for electrical problems, something BMW's, Audi's and Mercedes are. I could go on, we can go on, but it sames as though you think the added refinement a German car gives (Though Japanese cars have caught up/surpassed) justifies the crappy reliability. Am I wrong? I realize no car manufacture is perfect, and all manufactures have improved reliability, but until I see most German cars being able to do 100K easily with minimal issues, I'll avoid them.
What makes that car so wonderful to drive? Just curious.... I consider Lexus to be the Japanese Mercedes and the 2003-2009 year E class was a little "Meh" IMO. I think the GS was a better car, as well as the 5 series and A6. As for Honda's 5 speed, the transmission can be a bit clunky in city driving, but you get used it and it's not so bad. I won't doubt that German cars are amazingly engineered but why can't they engineer some reliability into it? I don't understand.
Mercedes of 80s were reliable Honda's of 2018 are not much reliable It keep changing due to changing priorities The emission norms are leading to over engineering and greed for profits cost cutting etc
IMO, he got lucky. Look, the point is, Japanese cars have a reputation for being reliable and less costly to maintain. Older MB's and BMW's were pretty solid. They started to decline in the early 2000's. I have an uncle with a 2009 FX and the tires and brakes are like new at 31,000 miles. My cousin has a 2004 TL with 50,000 miles and it still runs, looks, and drives like it's new. He get's it maintained at a Honda dealer :p
I completely disagree. You're ignoring the problems people are having with brand new BMW's and Audi's. I know about the TC problems, but again not many people are having those issues. The question was asked on the MDX forum how many people were having Transmission vibration and 98% of the people had no issues. I know three people with those MDX's with no problems. You also have to remember cost of ownership, I can maintain and Acura or Lexus right in my garage.
As for the Pathfinder, no it won't stand up to the rugged terrain the old one could, but it's marketed toward a different person. Lets be real, how many people who bought the old Pathfinder took it off road? Not many, and if you need an SUV that can off-road and want to stay Nissan, just buy an X-Terra. Perhaps Nissan should have changed the Pathfinders name? What do you think? We represent 1% of people who buy cars, most people won't even know the difference between BOF and car based.
I never said the Pathfinder was supposed to be sporty. The Pathfinder is meant to be a capable and rugged SUV but now it's more like a fancy van with a transmission that won't stand up to heavy duty work like the old Pathfinders could do. Like I said they should have canned the Pathfinder name and let it go down in history and made a new name for what is the new Pathfinder.

Acura's, Lexus's and Infiniti's are not known for electrical problems, something BMW's, Audi's and Mercedes are. I could go on, we can go on, but it sames as though you think the added refinement a German car gives (Though Japanese cars have caught up/surpassed) justifies the crappy reliability. Am I wrong?
I realize no car manufacture is perfect, and all manufactures have improved reliability, but until I see most German cars being able to do 100K easily with minimal issues, I'll avoid them.
It's for ppl who don't like push buttons start and cvts but want nav like my grandma she might get one ivhope
Love mine
The Edge does not compete with this vehicle.
What makes that car so wonderful to drive? Just curious.... I consider Lexus to be the Japanese Mercedes and the 2003-2009 year E class was a little "Meh" IMO. I think the GS was a better car, as well as the 5 series and A6.
As for Honda's 5 speed, the transmission can be a bit clunky in city driving, but you get used it and it's not so bad. I won't doubt that German cars are amazingly engineered but why can't they engineer some reliability into it? I don't understand.
Mercedes of 80s were reliable
Honda's of 2018 are not much reliable
It keep changing due to changing priorities
The emission norms are leading to over engineering and greed for profits cost cutting etc
The USB port is on the middle console. My mom has a 2008.
IMO, he got lucky. Look, the point is, Japanese cars have a reputation for being reliable and less costly to maintain. Older MB's and BMW's were pretty solid. They started to decline in the early 2000's.
I have an uncle with a 2009 FX and the tires and brakes are like new at 31,000 miles. My cousin has a 2004 TL with 50,000 miles and it still runs, looks, and drives like it's new. He get's it maintained at a Honda dealer :p
I thought CRV stands for Compact Recreational Vehicle?
That's what it stands for
can you guys also do the 2014 mazda 6
The 4th generation should be getting Honda's new DI motor & CVT within the next year or two.
Can I request a 2003- 2008 Honda Pilot? Nobody does those.
my parents bought the redesigned 2012 model in July and we just love it. Sleek styling, quieter than this model and it looks gorgeous in burgundy :D
please do a 4th gen(2003-2009) Toyota 4Runner!!
I completely disagree. You're ignoring the problems people are having with brand new BMW's and Audi's. I know about the TC problems, but again not many people are having those issues. The question was asked on the MDX forum how many people were having Transmission vibration and 98% of the people had no issues. I know three people with those MDX's with no problems.
You also have to remember cost of ownership, I can maintain and Acura or Lexus right in my garage.
The steel wheels on the LX are 17 inch as well
hmmmm rust protection then?
I just brought one
As for the Pathfinder, no it won't stand up to the rugged terrain the old one could, but it's marketed toward a different person. Lets be real, how many people who bought the old Pathfinder took it off road? Not many, and if you need an SUV that can off-road and want to stay Nissan, just buy an X-Terra. Perhaps Nissan should have changed the Pathfinders name? What do you think? We represent 1% of people who buy cars, most people won't even know the difference between BOF and car based.
The steering wheel reminds me of a Mazda 6... I like this crv
I think it's compact recreational vehicle
I never said the Pathfinder was supposed to be sporty. The Pathfinder is meant to be a capable and rugged SUV but now it's more like a fancy van with a transmission that won't stand up to heavy duty work like the old Pathfinders could do. Like I said they should have canned the Pathfinder name and let it go down in history and made a new name for what is the new Pathfinder.
CRV stands for Compact Recreational Vehicle..
is it big enough for a 6'4 guy like me
Danthony Dunn yes, supremely comfy
Danthony Dunn i'm six ft and have about a foot plus of headroom when the seat is at its lowest height
