Joe D Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Have just purchased a 2009 Honda CRV, which i think is great but I would like to hear people from the shooting worlds opinions on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERCE Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 We had an 09 plate diesel on lease for 36k miles. It was poor on fuel averaging a little over 36mpg over the whole 36k. It was also dreadful to drive over long distances as it followed cambers on the motorway, I've never had a more tiring vehicle to drive. The hands free phone was a joke, it only had voice activation & getting it call the correct person would usually take 4 or 5 attempts. A friend had a 6 month newer car with a completely different system on it so I guess Honda sussed they'd dropped a clanger. On the plus side it was a Honda so ticktock it never broke & we only did standard services & a set of tyres after 20k. It was fairly good in snow, it was also reasonable for steady offroad but there were situations where it wouldn't be conned into going 4 wheel drive.

Thanks for the comment Perce, I have also noticed it wanting to pull with the camber on the road. hopefully i didnt get rid of the audi for something less impressive.

PERCE Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 No problem. I think the chasing cambers thing was a know issue with them & that they changed the cars in 09 at some point. Our car was new in the March that year. A friend got one in the September & his didn't do it, good job as he drives 30k a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 My Mrs has a 10 plate one all singing all dancing. Totally agree with the camber issue horrible. Mpg is shocking but a big bus I guess. she has traded it in now for a a220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
