Honda CR-V 2005

1 star review

Be aware that the oil warning lights do not warn you if you are low in oil!!!! On boxing day our engine blew up while driving along a busy dual carriage way in Sussex with two small children, a dog and all our Christmas gifts. The bill is £3600 for a refurbished engine and turbo. Surely with such a normally great car, they should have warning lights when the oil is low?

Honda CR-V ctdi se 2005

4 star review

I bought my CR-V at 3 years old and it is now coming up to 7 years, with 110,000 miles on the clock. A supremely reliable machine with good mpg, 35 to 40 and powerful enough for all round driving. Road noise is pretty bad on rough surfaces, but it is a small price to pay. I highly recommended this as a reasonably priced (second-hand) reliable family car. 4wd gives it some (limited) ability on rough tracks and gives added confidence in winter snow and ice.

Honda CR-V CDTi executive 2005

4 star review

Bought the car new, was really impressed with the comfort and refinement. Had a few warranty issues, flat battery, air conditioning unit faulty, warped front discs, rear axle needing a double oil change. But that apart love the car, good MPG (36 average), great handling and prefer this model to the new one. Like the wet boot area, plus good for our dog. Had to have the clutch replaced at 48k due to the pressure plate being faulty. It’s a known fault. Car still looks and drives like new, will be keeping it for a while longer.

Honda CR-V Diesel 2005

3 star review

My Honda CR-V diesel had a new turbo after 50,000 miles, the problem I have now is it is smoking on start up, any other Honda owners have the same problem? Went into local Honda dealer to have turbo fitted and told them of the smoking problem, they said it was not smoking; believe you and me it is, when on holiday people commented on the smoke! No Honda I am not telling lies! Anyone with any idea of the problem please let me know, it has been on a diagnostic machine when the turbo was under investigation.

Honda CR-V CTDI 2005

4 star review

This is my second Honda but first CR-V. I decided on a diesel and CR-V having read many of the reviews on this and other sites. It was a fairly high mileage example and was not cheap having the leather upholstery, but the body work and interior was in very good condition. I’m afraid I don’t like the look of the new version. I find it a quiet car, particularly on motorways with plenty of power for normal driving. All the controls fall easily to hand and the handling on winding roads perfectly acceptable with plenty of interior space although I agree it is very "plasticy". The only downside is on the front passenger foot well where it is not possible for an average height person to sit normally with their legs out and heels resting on the carpet, an intrusion onto the well forces anybody but the smallest to bend their knees and keep their feet flat on the floor. So far I get reasonable fuel consumption and am perfectly happy with the car although am about to have the clutch master cylinder replaced as it squeaks like mad. My dealer informs me this is a known problem.
