NEW CRV Capabilities

[downshifter]

mga paps,


I am considering the CRV for my new car. My concern is kung soft ride sya but can handle mga lubak...i mean yung parang pajero ba ang suspension nito or close man lng? basta comfort ride plus capabilities for uneven roads dito sa philippines......


fuel consumption?


thanks

[downshifter]

diesel engine po ba ito?

[tidus1203]

I don't know about the ride comfort 100% but since the CR-V is base on a Civic then my educated guess is ride should be pretty good for a mini-SUV. Fuel consumption has improved from the 2nd gen CR-V but its still not its bright spot. My neighbor has one and he says he gets around 6-7km/L on a 2.0L 4X2 A/T.

[tidus1203]

No its not a diesel, Honda does not have diesel in the Philippines... And they are not know for their diesels but they are very known for their high revving VTEC gas engines

[downshifter]

ah okay. Im considering yung 4x2 na manual e...ano kaya fuel consumption nito...since i-vtec i believe is build for fuel efficiency.......


mahal na unleaded e...kung hindi sya fuel efficient, mukang not a good idea....

more inputs pls....


ride comfort on lubak? anyone has experience?

Your best bet is to test drive one, since others' responses about being too soft or too stiff can be very subjective.

fuel consumption?

If you are really concerned about fuel consumption, you shouldn't consider SUVs at all unless you really need the extra cargo space.

[downshifter]

yep i need seating capacity for my family...kaya ask ako fuel consumption ng CRV at full load......

Di ba 5-seater pa rin ang CRV?

Some unsolicited advise lang... why not consider the likes of Kia Carens? It's 7-seater, so with the 3rd row folded down, it'll have a bigger cargo space than the CRV, while still being able to seat 5 persons. It's CRDI, meaning FC is about 10-13 kms/liter (double of the CRV). And it's diesel, so fuel is significantly cheaper. And with the powerful 2.0 CRDI engine of the Carens, I'm sure it can keep up, if not leave behind the CRV, in highway driving.

+1 but the problem is its NOT HONDA BWAHAHA!!!.

ill pick the kia carens in a heart beat, but i where you get the hyundai sta-fe diesel.

honda CRV are overrated, my sister owns one and everytime i drive it feels so boring!!!

i can attest to that.... although 2.0 na crv MT yung akin talagang iniwan ako ng kia carens na 2.0 crdi...

But the CRV is only a 5 seater... not any more than the Honda Civic. If you want to seat more than five, you will have to look at vehicles with 3 rows of seats.

For me
If your looking for ride comfort and fuel economy then dont look at the cr-v
we use to have a gen 2 crv malaks sya sa gas nakaka 6-7km/l lang ako kahit tipid mode pa! at matag tag sya lalu na pag nag palit ka pa ng mga 17' rims or bigger! and 5 seater lang sya AFAIK so hinde rin pwede sayo!

you could check out the santa fe or the carens!

[hsc183]

I agree the 2nd Gen CRV is a gas Guzzler, its good you can manage to have a 6 km/liter. Mine I only got 4.5 to 4.8 km/liter FC, whether magaan or mabigat ang tapak sa gas. Mine it A/T transmission. Except for the gas consumption and stiff ride, nothing is to complain about. Suggest you see elsewhere like Kia and Hyundai. Just a thought.

here's my take.

[2008 CRV on Comfort]: yes i believe its very comfortable for 5people. the ride is serene and a great hiway cruiser (none of the road noise u get fm. the Civic). the testdrive unit i drove was well screwed together and exhibited a very solid ride. though didn't have much experience on lubak, i'm sure it should handle it just fine.

[2008 CRV 2.0li / 6MT on FC]: i think an average of 6-8km./li on City driving is just about right. and around 10-11km/li on Hiway driving (probably more if real hiway (no lubak/traffic).

[2008 CRV 2.0li / 6MT not being Diesel]: if Diesel is really of primary importance to u. then i suggest u look elsewhere.

if u have the extra cash then perhaps u can get the Hyundai Sta.Fe-II. its owners have mostly raves about it (little negative feedback). but that's about Php300-350K more than the 2.0li 6MT for the FWD CrDI.

if not enough budget & diesel is still of Primary importance...then you can BEG HCPI to a allocate some Honda diesel engines fm. European market.
or just consider other brands such as Toyota D4D, Hyundai/Kia CrDI. or the Ford's TDCi.
