#285 of 1069 thanks kizhe by peggylou Feb 12, 2004 (10:55 pm)
I am going to print out your post to take with me to dealers if I decide on CR-V. I really would like the seat heaters if they are available. I did see one with the leather already in it, and it was even the color I like, Eternal Blue with black leather, but they had also added $2500 wheels!!! I think not! Wonder if I can get them to take them off and put stock back on? But no seat heaters on that one too. Wonder if CA dealers just aren't tuned in to heaters since we are "sunny" ca?
#286 of 1069 forgot to mention by peggylou Feb 12, 2004 (10:57 pm)
I definitely plan to get fog lights. I don't see well at night and need all the light I can get. I use fogs 365/days a year at night regardless of fog condition. HOw are the CR-V lights at night? Good and bright?
#287 of 1069 Leather for peggylou by theracoon Feb 13, 2004 (5:46 am)
You do realize that in order to add the leather seats the Honda dealer is sending the vehicle to some local custom installer who installs the leather, right? It's not a "real" Honda option. Why not look for a shop that does leather seats, or even ask the Honda dealer where they have their's done, rather than buying from the Honda dealer? And you'll probably get a better price on the leather, even if it's just the Honda dealer dropping the price in order to get you to buy the leather from them.   JM2C
#288 of 1069 Leather for peggylou by kizhe Feb 13, 2004 (7:34 am)
theracoon: thank you for rising this issue. I forgot to mention: Yes, leather job was done in some after market shop. But the deal was - as we ordered seats through Honda dealership - Honda warranty would cover seats and heaters (and fog lights) just like other parts of the car. Actually dealer showed us one car (color red with light brown leather), which was returned to the dealership because owner was not happy with the color/quality of leather. If your dealer would provide you similar warranty deal, I believe, it's worth it. Another info: dealer told us that leather shop is not just put leather above the regular seats material or just replacing it. They are adding some 'good stuff' beneath the leather so seats will be more firm and 'puffy' than the regular seats. Looks like it's true. So far so good. Peggy might ask her dealer how the job would be done. About Fog lights: Regular lights in CR-V are very good but they directed forward(where you suppose to be looking while driving . But sometimes you need extra lighting at your sides ( like on windy narrow driveways or sides of the road during bad visibility). Honda fog lights give you vertically flat but horizontally wide beam. During fog they will be looking beneath the fog and show you the road, sides of the road and dividing white lines on the road. You may use them as extra lighting also, but in forward direction they do not add too much light.

low and wide is exactly why I keep my fogs on all the time. I like being able to see where the side of the road is!
#290 of 1069 uncomfortable driver's seat by vneck Feb 17, 2004 (2:38 pm)
Hi, just bought a 2000'cr-v EX and have found that the driver's seat is extremely uncomfortable. I can only drive the car for 30 minutes or so before "pain in my neck" starts. I have tried all number of pads, cushions etc. with no luck. I am unable to pull the back of the seat up as far forward as I would like and as a result am sitting to close to the steering wheel. I have noticed that the cr-v seats are very flat and small- not really "bucket like". I was told by the dealership that seats are not replaceable due to federal safety laws. Any suggestions on how to modify or replace these seats for comfort?
#291 of 1069 '97 CR-V weak motor by htt Mar 03, 2004 (8:34 am)
Hi all,   My wife has a '97 CR-V. She bought it in the first year that it came to the US. The car is fine but it has a very weak engine for such a heavy car. I think it's only a 2.0 litter w/ 125 hp and 130 ft-lb of torque or something like that. It's ok to drive in the city but it doesn't have any enough power for freeway. Is there an easy mod to increase the hp for this car ?

Is there an easy mod to increase the hp for this car?   You mean other than trading it in on a newer CR-V? Sorry, no.   JM2C
#293 of 1069 If it makes you feel better.. by kyfdx HOST Mar 03, 2004 (9:43 am)
I believe it has 127 HP!! I had a manual transmission, so I fixed my power problem by winding it out in the lower gears... and anticipating acceleration needs with my crystal ball!!   regards, kyfdx (sorry for the sarcasm)
#294 of 1069 by varmint Mar 03, 2004 (10:16 am)
127 hp and 133 ft-lb for both the 1997 and 1998 models. The only effective modification would be to install a turbo. Probably not worth the effort.
