Pros: What do you like about 2005 Honda CR-V? Usable and flexible interior space, peppy engine, reliable (so far) Cons: How would you improve 2005 Honda CR-V? More standard (safety) features, better fuel economy, easier routine oil changes (look at the filter location). 2005 Honda CR-V Review: At the time we bought ours, ABS was an expensive option in EX only and we wanted an LX. Same for the optional side airbags which should all be standard across the board. The standard Bridgestone tires wore out at 28,000 miles but with a tread wear rating of 165, I should not be surprised so we replaced with premium tires, and for less cost than the original B-Stones. We were also concerned with transmission issues so we bought the extra warranty and use synthetic and so far, no problems after 50k (not that there should be, but after the Acura tranny problems, I wondered about Honda). Our neighbor's identical unit lost the tranny at 40k, but the dealer made up for it with reasonable costs. (2003 model) |
