Replying to: piast (Aug 20, 2009 6:30 pm) 0-60 in 8 seconds is pretty indicative of the vehicle's capabilities with just 4 cylinders. Next... |

Replying to: comem47 (Aug 24, 2009 1:21 pm) “I agree with Edmunds. The CR-V is a very well laid out vehicle, but the engine is just lacking. It's fine around town, but hit the highway and catching up to traffic is another thing entirely”. “I do, getting on the highway where most cars do 65mph and trying to get up to speed is where the CR-V has problems. “ “And I've driven through hills and mountains in upstate NY with my CR-V, the grade-logic does nothing. You simply must be in D3 mode. You don't even have to tow anything to feel the lag, just load it up with 4 adults and their cargo. “ “0-60 in a leisurely 10 seconds is not adequate. And it gets worse when loaded up with people and cargo.” You can read rest of the posts in this tread ” Honda loses yet another Edmunds comparo,” in one of the Honda entusiasts blogs, which name I can't mention here. |

Replying to: comem47 (Aug 24, 2009 1:21 pm) How about the warranty differences? And what do you suggest I tow? Besides, if you are regularly towing something that is 3500 lbs, maybe you should be looking into a body on frame vehicle, not a unibody? Hondas come with 5 years/60,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Replying to: piast (Aug 24, 2009 3:08 pm) ( from Edmunds and Motor Trend tests). How exactly you are going to run dose circles again? I tested mine with G-tech device. Here is the old review from Edmunds for the 2002 model. http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpcontainers/do/vdp/articleId=48575/pageNumber=2 Next time I am in Chicago, I will show you exactly how I run circles around those vehicles... |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Aug 25, 2009 8:54 am) Next.. That's the bumper to bumper with roadside assistance on the Outlander. Powertrain is 10 yr/100K. As for towing I regularly tow 1600 lbs effortlessly in winder. I have the ability to go to 3500. Most all the silimilar CUVs are 1000 lbs (Rav 4 is the same and Subaru is 2400). I'm Just referencing your original claim of running around the Outlander in circles with a CRV.. And I've gotten 27 mph on hwy (typical over 25). 20 is typical around town only driving. Did a rather nice job of hauling a 4X8 sheet of plywood and 8' 2X4's last week (with the tailgate down only 2 foot sticks beyond it.) That's what I call utility. Yes, my old Dakota and wife's Durango could haul more, but 15MPG on a good day. (I love parking the Outlander, tightest turning radius I've ever had). .. |
