2017 Honda CR-V Turbo and 7seats

[travajante]

Well... very true. On second thought, after discounts there's a 500k difference between CRV S gas and the Suzuki Grand Vitara SE. Buyers might consider not selling the Vitara in the future. Just charge to the difference any cost on fuel efficiency and unavailability of parts

It's the last of the simple, rugged RWD Mohicans. Not known for efficiency, but not difficult to maintain either. I've survived others w/ harder to find parts. A good friend has a couple in his stable he's keeping even if he just took delivery of a CX5 KF.[emoji4]

The Skyactiv tranny is an enhanced & improved auto. It's designed to be more responsive. Rated to give even better FC than stick. Not CVT, not belt-driven. Though it has a special lifetime FZ Type fluid w/ no listed service recommendation, it'll do more good to refresh it. The Sky tranny has been around since '12 & has proven its worth & reliability so far.

Sir travajante, what specifically do you mean when you say "w/ no listed service recommendation, it'll do more good to refresh it" for the lifetime FZ type fluid?

The FZ is rated a lifetime fluid. No tranny fluid change recommended....but my OCD won't allow me to follow that.[emoji4]

Ok thanks for the clarification. So the CX5's transmission fluid is supposed to be a lifetime one. But it's better to refresh it. Ok then.

Unlike CVTs where there'd be too much collateral damage to put everything back once the belt disintegrates, Skyactivs are more like regular autos. It just has an improved torque converter w/ the adoption of multi-disc clutch. No rubber band.
I won't wish for rebuilders to pop up everywhere, though....that might mean unreliability....hahaha.[emoji16]
And....I hope 'lifetime' here means confidence more than disposability...hehehe. I still would do fluid swaps, though.[emoji4]

same here.
i do not believe in "lifetime lubrication fluids".
it simply goes against common sense.

Exactly.
OT....Kinda sad to see automakers go the CVT bandwagon to get their FC numbers. Everything now seems to have programmed obsolescence built in.[emoji17]

There's no argument on CVT improvement & Honda's trust rating is high. They're great new w/ warranty.
Still, the belt is the weak link. Rubber will eventually go. Remember timing belts? The wise went back to chains.
Me...I keep mine long term....til there's no choice left, I'm staying as far away.

Not hoping for that, sir. No joke seeing so many fail before. I sincerely wish everyone well....no sarcasm.
Just sharing my humble 2cents, however unwelcomed. If I were to own 1, I'd definitely wipe the risks off w/ extended warranty.

you can read many good cvt reviews sa crv and civic owners club forums. so many 200000+ milestones

the many cvt failures in the philippines were compounded because of wrong cvt fluids used.. ang dami kasi hindi informed

how many new cvts have been sold since 2015... hondacity honda jazz mirages/g4s. toyota altis.

less failures because of:

information

misinformation
