#2827 of 2831 2007 CRV: Buy or not? by slowpitch8 Sep 15, 2009 (5:11 am)
Considering a used 2007 CRV AWD with about 40,000 miles. Are there any major problems that I should know about. There seems to be a lot of discussion about tire wear and rear differential issues. Please give me your opinions....both good and bad. We don't buy or trade often, so I'd like it to last. Anyone over 100K on one of these yet? Replies to this message: lzc (Sep 15, 2009 7:37 pm)

Replying to: slowpitch8 (Sep 15, 2009 5:11 am) My '07 model has been bullet proof. The rear differential fluid was changed and gears burnished under warranty. Since then, no problem. But I think one needs to change the fluid more often than factory rec--30K seems about right.   Its wheelbase is short, which makes for easy in-town handling but the ride can get choppy on poor roads at freeway speeds. I find the 4-cyl engine fine for my driving style, but no one will confuse this with a powerful car.   It's comfortable, hauls stuff that didn't fit in my previous car, consistently delivers 23-24 mpg city and 27-28 mpg hwy mileage, but I'm not a lead foot. I should note that mileage sags noticeably above 70 mph. In short, I'd buy the car again. It's been Honda reliable.   Oh, I forgot, the carpets are junk. I mean it. They do not wear well. But that's the worst thing I can say about the CR-V. Good luck.
#2829 of 2831 after maintenance by marig0107 Oct 24, 2009 (9:23 am)
I had routine work done on my Honda CVR 4WD Nav. 36000 brakes, wipers, oil change, rear diff, tranny flush. I have my car back and it's smooth. But now I noticed, especially in school zone going 20 mph that I feel a jolt as it bumps into gear. Of course, foot a little unsteady so going 20-22 and I felt repetitive jolts.   I took it in to make sure it's not leaking fluid from transmission and it's not. My appt is monday. Curious as to what they might have done in error to cause it to do that. help.... thanks in advance Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Oct 24, 2009 12:10 pm)

#2831 of 2831 CRV Tires by tkay2 Nov 12, 2009 (3:13 am)
Replaced tires on my CRV EX after 38K (they were the OE tires continental contac ???) needless to say I was surprised. Did put on 4 latitude tour and you can feel and hear the difference,
