Spaniel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcgardener Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
