My wife bought a Honda crv 2nd gen, in 2007, it was unsold, because the new model was already in the dealership, she had a nice price reduction. 2L petrol model, automatic gearbox, manual air conditioning, and no other extras, only the stainless steel rocker strips. Today, the car has 200,000 kms, it works wonderfully and we are very happy, we will keep it as long as possible.

Only problem with his is that whistle you mentioned and broken AC. The whistling is common with 2nd/3rd gen CR-Vs, I believe it is due to a pinhole in the exhaust somewhere.

I have an 06, red with beige interior all-wheel-drive EX automatic. One of my close friends from high school has an elderly father who I noticed kept it in his garage up in Philly since we were in high school. Going on 12 years now 😂 and I always noticed that rear end with the tire sticking out of the garage when they’d open it. He told me if I could get it out of the garage, I could have it. He’s a bit of a hoarder so it was an all day thing, but ended up plugging a jump box in it when I cleared everything out around it and saw it only had 60k miles 😮😮😮😮 this past 2 years I brought the thing close to brand new: new tires and brakes/rotes/lines, new suspension, did all the services etc. All new plastics on the exterior. Threw in an Prioneer Apple CarPlay screen too which turned out really nice. Couldn’t believe how many people walk up to me in the parking lots down here in Florida at the supermarkets and offer me money for it on the spot. I have a 2014 MX5 Miata, and Tacoma. All the same color combos, didn’t do that on purpose either 😂 But probably going to sell both of them and just hold onto this. Love it.

Thank you for this terrific review! I’ve owned my blue 2004 since new and, with some maintenance and occasional parts replacement, still runs great. A few thoughts and corrections: 1. The picnic table is standard issue from the factory and yes it’s a great surprise when you find it back there 2. The most significant mechanical changes to the refreshed Gen 2 (in my opinion) was the inclusion of a 5 speed automatic (up on extra gear from a 4 speed like mine) and side curtain airbags in the top trims for a major boost to safety 3. You get two (A and B) trip mileage calculators if you push the right side dash stalk by the speedo 4. In the automatic, the coin tray/ ashtray thing is a pop-out cup holder since the gear shift is up on the dash. It would definitely get in the way with the standard transmission.

I own a 2005 CRV manual transmission, bought it used a year ago with 230K miles off of FB Marketplace for $3200; red paint with brown interior. It now has approx 257K miles on. I've done a handful of minor maintenance work which is to be expected for the year: new brakes, rotors, tires, power steering pump that failed, catalytic converter, o2 sensor, front axel, replaced all the engine fluids, rear sway bar links, bushings, master clutch cylinder - now that I type all of that out, yes I've done some work to it. But, know what? I freaking love this car, so much fun to drive and very practical. If I could find another manual transmission 2nd gen out there with under 200K miles on it, I buy another one.

Ben, I am only 1/2 way through you CRV video, & now I like it better than my MDX. Thank you for your videos,... watched a bit more of your video. Noticing a bit of maybe stain on the arm rest, & wondered, if the rig was detailed, maybe a friend or detailer that would like to make a name for them selves "Ben's Detailers" would do the work, your video item would be as good as it could get, & your lender would be very happy, & more may be willing for you to show their older rig. Just a thought :-) Love your video reviews. When the CB-750 came out, Honda has always had a nice sound, & AWD, your tires will have some sound, they will grip what they can, mud, rain, snow... as safe as can be. You see the Nicest People on/ with a Honda. Thank you Ben :-) Just before you ended, I had a thought... What if... the cars, some, maybe not all, could be sold because of the detail & review. People could see a car type, & year, cleaned up, reviewed, & maybe even sold. I am sure that would be a very small % of the cars your review, as you would not want to be known as Ben, The Car Seller... But, a review could interest some to the rig they really should have, & if the owner really is not using the potential, why not get something that does. It would be really cool, if your video prompted a person to have you review their rig, & that led them to want another in your video. Just thinking, maybe...

I have always liked this generation and have seen a few manuals pop up here and there, but do to their rarity the manual is always overpriced. I recently rented a new 2024 CRV that was fully loaded for two weeks to drive cross country and back with my family. It was a wonderful vehicle when not in the mountains as the CVT does not have pre set selectable gears like other manufactures have, making the many steep grades difficult to navigate, but over all, when put into S it did okay. The overall gas millage was 28mpg but that was with going through multiple mountain passes there and back and at time around 90mph for hours.

I was looking for one, because it fits perfect commuter car with space and easy to replace audio. Audio stands at driver's eyesight perfectly. For automatic, the shift is at the steering column, so it definitely saves the room in the middle. between driver and passenger. like you mentioned, one bad thing is transmission.

Zero shifter feel, terrible steering, power was decent, could do burnouts in the wet, but the whole car just felt like shiht. And the trans lost 5th and reverse was whining when I sold it around 160k. Those trans are known to be glass

It legit looks like it never touched the road, despite having 138k miles. Pristine and looks brand new, can't find a scratch on the exterior or a bit of wear on the interior. Under the hood looks fresh out of the factory. I love it, but I can't decide if I should buy it.

We had a Honda crv, the vehicle never got us stuck in snow. Always started right up, honda signature of course, closing the door is ridiculously easy and light. My father got rid of it years ago and he regrets it now, literally out of all the vehicles we owned, it was the most reliable. The handling felt great, but the big shock for me is how comfortable this car is, I go as far to say that the honda crv is more comfortable & more upscaled interior than the toyota RAV4 in the 2000s. Lastly, Honda CR-V has a 5 speed manual or automatic, the Toyota RAV4 has a 4 speed automatic and a 5 speed manual.
