2007 Honda CR-V [Merged]

[niky]

I was with Carlo during the test-drive. I actually think there's enough power in the R20 engine. Kaya lang, it's a high-revver, not a torquey engine like the older 2.0s.

It's got good initial response, and if you floor it, it actually gains strength near redline (kaya lang, ang gaspang ng sound... kinda like the Alto at full blast... ). It's just the gearing of the AT and the relatively low midrange torque that make it feel sluggish.

On the Macapagal run, the R20 reached 130 km/h in almost the same distance that the K24 4x4 did... pero mas torquey lang talaga ang K24. I'm really impressed with the R-series engines, I hope Honda gives them ATs that will better optimize their power (hint... they need lower first and second gears...)

rgistered FC yesterday lang. A 15.2km/l Highway driving a 80 km route.

The family went for a vacation on Monday to Calatagan, Batangas. With the 2.0M/T, I was able to do 14km/l from Sta. Mesa to Calatagan. Back from Calatagan was able to manage 13km/l with heavy traffic in SLEX. Speed range from 100 to 120KM. I usually shift around 2000RPM.

Aside from having trouble shifting to 6th gear. The power is adequate. I have 5 passengers and quite a few luggage. I never encountered any sluggish performance. Also If I may add the cornering ability is great. Compared with my 2001 Civic. I think the CR-V is better in terms of handling .

Brod Sparkle Gray Pearl. Wala pa pong modifications, sagad sa expense eh .
I'm saving for a leatherette seats na lang muna. Ang pangit kasi nung free car seats ng Honda.

Last month though I treat the CR-V with a two step paint detailing to seal the paint finish. Glaze + 2 Layers of Carnauba Wax. I love the finish. Kaya kahit medyo naarawan. I don't worry much na magfade kagad ang kulay. I plan to wax it again after two months.

Same here bro, I'm planning for backing sensor, muffle tip, door visor, rear visor, side mirror cover & leatherette seat cover too. Kapag nagkaron na available sa Banawe.

Tag-ulan dito sa min ngayon, di ko pa ulit ma-wax (Turtle spray wax._)

Hindi ba uso ang maxguard dyan sa pinas, dito sa Dubai uso ang magpa-maxguard dahil protection the dust and heat, hindi na rin kailangan mag wax dahil exterior and interior protection siya.

Ok talaga FC ng 2.0L CRV M/T, panapat ito sa diesel ng tucson. Pagtaas naman ng presyo gasoline, kasabay lagi ang diesel.

The only problem with my CRV is that when im in xpressway at about 100-140kph, may smell pa din nang rubber tire. HCP alabang doesnt know how to remedy that kind of problem.

* armanjr ;
do you also encounter that kind of problem? * air ventilation???

[ehw953]

guys, quick question lang po, for everyday city driving with heavy traffic, alin mas matipid? yung 2.4 or 2.0 na CRV? and also, san nyo binili ung CRV nyo? what are the free items and how much insurance? thanks in advance!

[niky]

The 2.0. Newer block design, more economical engine series than the K. Smaller, too.

Wala naman bro.. The CRV is around 3T mileage with no problem at all.

With the 2.0 M/T I'm getting 14KM/L highway driving 100 to 120 km/hr. But on a heavy traffic I can manage only 10-12KM/L. The ODO reading is 3TKM, i'm expecting a little more improvement once it reach 5T.

I got the CR-V from Honda Shaw. The freebies are: car mat, seat cover, plate cover, umbrella and key chain . NO TINT

[oldblue]

those are good FC readings for a gasoline car. galing talaga ng CRV engine

[ehw953]

thanks for the input guys mahaba ba pila ngayon sa CRV? and is it assembled here sa PHIL? what is the max speed of the new 2.0 crv? maganda parin ba handling at that speed?

[number001]

^2007 CRV is now imported CBU from Thailand.

[meldy12]

mas mahaba ang waiting time for automatic unit than the manual. last month sabi ng SA 2 months waiting time for automatic unit

[armanjr]

what is the max speed? maganda parin ba handling at that speed?

I tried 140 and the handling is stil good. I believe the 2.0 can go 180 but haven't tried yet.

As I said before on my previous post. IMO the handling and cornering ability of the new cr-v is great. I think pa nga it's much better with my 2001 CIVIC.

[Ventoy]

Has anybody can post FC on their 07 CRV 2.0 AT, since this can be considerable SUV to have with????????
