2014 Honda CRV

[Spaniel]

I just sold my 2007 Honda CRV last week and plan to order the 2014 model, 2.0E 4WD, next week. For anyone who has recently purchased this model, any complaints/recommendations?

[Spaniel]

Looks like no new CRV owners around?

I think they drive cx5's now:)

[Ace of Pop]

Those are Daewoo Trucks are they not.?.

[Jitar]

Nah Ace, the CX-5 is made in Malaysia so must be a rebadged Proton.

At least Mazda have some originality, unlike Honda who blatantly copied the fine Dongfeng Ciimo.

[IMHO]

Mrs Pop.

But she's not generalizing like you, she's just looking to her left when she says that

[Ace of Pop]

Jitar .I recon Honda copied TingTongfeng Homo but it works and its cheap.

[Jitar]

Honda Ting Tong....

Catchy name for refined drivers.

A friend used to have a CRV. Is it true they only like to drink the top of the line 95 fuel at 49 baht a litre?

The new model takes E85. The problem is where to find it.

Yes James, and the Owners Champers. Not a Ride for Teachers.

Thanks for all the replies. I now know the type of person that buys a Honda CRV. But I still haven't heard from any recent CRV owners and their complaints/recommendations.

maybe this fact alone might tell you something

[Ace of Pop]

Tells me they have more sense than listen to us

Did the OP bed up buying one in the end?

Yes

If you haven't already found out, the lousy Dunlop tyres Honda fit are extremely noisy. We bought the 2.4 4wd about 4 months ago and the road noise is bad. My 5 year old Pajero Sport riding on Michelin is far better. But our model does have 18" wheels

How much did the OP get for the last one?

B 555,000. May 2007, 113,000 Km

Holy cow you did well for a car that old, congrats

I concur... must have been absolutely mint, with the bigger engine option and no prangs at all. Mrs NL got a tad under 400 k baht for her not quite so mint, same-ish age, lower mileage dust cart. What did you pay for new tires before you pitched it? Auction, tent or private sale to a stranger and not a friend or family member?

We sold the car in April 2014 and bought it in May 2007, so almost exactly 7 y/o. We paid B25,000 for the tires. I don't recall which one but we found the buyer by advertising on one of the Thai car websites. At the time other 2007 CRV's were selling in this price range, some a bit lower. Overall it was in excellent shape.

A very sweet deal then but you sold in April 2014 whereas Mrs NL shifted hers earlier this year. You timed it right since the second-hand market is flush with newer models, mostly repo's, after the 'first-time buyer' fiasco collapsed. We talked to dealers, tents and private buyers and generally nobody was much interested in anything over 5 years old regardless of the service history, mileage or being prang-free. I managed to get the car reshod for 14k baht but forked out about 3k baht on fixing some front-end steering bushings that were rattling.

How do you like the new one btw? We deferred on a replacement while we waited for other options to come on the market. We liked the CR-V but weren't overwhelmed by the new model and Honda didn't seem to have any great dealer incentives in Q1 this year.
