AFAIK, merong limited edition yung CRV. Sound Cruiser yata yun.

how much is your budget?
But,.. If I'm in your place...
I wouldn't even think about buying a cr-v.
because first of all.. It's a gas guzzler..
I think Honda miscalculated the engine of the cr-v.
Go for x-trail.. only problem is.. its resale value is a bit lower.
Toyota has the highest resale value..
but the rav 4 isn't a bit roomy..
Go for Tucson..
just my suggestion...
If you need more help.. pm me.. I'll send you my cel number..
I'm willing to help without any thing in return...

FC in typical city driving (with A/C) based on my brother and brother-in-law's 2nd gen CRVs are in the 5 to 6km/L with feathering of the throttle already.

It's really a fuel guzzler. The 1st gen CRV gets much better FC figures. An alternative many 2nd gen CRV owners have done is to convert their CRVs to run on LPG and place the LPG tank in the storage area under the picnic table in the cargo space.

4 to 5 km/l sa akin, Grabe talaga. buti na lang na benta ko na. thank god na bunutan ako ng tinik hehehehehe

5km/ltr - very light on pedal as in no rapid acceleration, almost a turtle, speed not exceeding 75km/hr with a/c (no traffic po yan, if traffic sometimes 3-4km/ltr with a/c). whatever i do to save gas wala na po itipid pa sa 5 km/ltr

3-4km/ltr - rapid acceleration, hitting 3k rpm instantly and engaging vtec at 5krpm, highway no traffic.

never tried my crv fc if loaded with passenger, usually single ride lng po me.

im wondering if something is wrong with my crv fc but accdg to casa there is nothing wrong

not sellable in market CRV (like above picture) grabe talaga fc nito almost nagtatapon gas, i predict babagsak presyo nito in coming months, aside grabe parts niya, super mahal, nakakapulubi maintenance
