2009? by wstevec

Hi Folks, have anyone heard anything about the 2009 in terms of a possible re-design or when a re-design may be coming? The CR-V seems great, but it could use a few more ponies under the hood, even another 30 would be nice to get up to highway speeds quicker.

Don't look for any big changes with the 2009 CR-V design. 2010 (4th Year) will be time for the Mid-Cycle Change, which usually changes some details such as headlamp and taillamp design, and a few interior upgrades. The big redesign will be most likely in 2012.

If gas prices continue rising, I wonder if automakers may need to rethink their near annual tradition of boosting horsepower. More people may start looking for cars with fewer ponies under the hood.

These days, getting better fuel economy usually accompanies more horsepower. See the RAV4 V6 for an example. A much more efficient engine than the 2.4L RAV4, since it just about matches it for fuel economy yet makes TONS more power.

The ability of an engine with more cylinders, weight, and horsepower to provide better performance with little loss in mpg only applies if the weight of the vehicle is more appropriate to the larger engine. That is, the RAV4 is really too heavy for a 4-cylinder engine to operate efficiently and provide the acceleration people want. Re-gear the engine to operate at max efficiency, which would slow its acceleration, and it would provide much better mileage.
 
If all things are equal, more power comes only at the price of reduced mileage.

What is the real world fuel economy in the Rav4 V6 compared to the EPA stated, and same for the 4 cylinder version. How much of a deviation do you get with both?

2008 CR-V EX owners: moonroof (tilt?) and rear speakers questions by smackldog

For those of you who have a 2008 CR-V EX, can you check something for me?
 
I have a 2008 CR-V EX (Green Tea Metallic) that I took delivery back in 12/31/07 and with my first scheduled oil change coming up (currently at 20% per MMC), I need to double check on one or two items that may or may not be warranty/service related issues when I go in for service.
 
1. Honda's website states that the CR-V EX and above models power moonroof have a tilt feature. Does it really have a tilt feature or is this just a mistake on the website? My CR-V doesn't have a tilt feature as far I can tell.

2. Are your rear speakers (by the doors) softer than the front door speakers when you adjust the fader to fade to the back? Mine is much softer than the front and I'm not sure if this is just by design, or if the front and rear volume should be equalized or the same?
 
Thanks,
David

DOH! I am an idiot!
 
It dawned on me that I may have missed something, so I looked it up in the manual and sure enough, on page 110, it states that to operate the tilt feature, you push on the center of the button (up towards the roof).

TPMS by sleake1

I have had my 2008 CRV for less than 24 hours, got on the highway and home and the TPMS light came on. We checked the tires, the manual said there it was a malfunction and to contact the dealer ASAP. Has anyone else had this issue?

Personally, I have not had this issue with my 2008 CRV EX, I have had it since April 4th. However, my friend just bought her 2008 CRV EX on this past Monday, and she had her light come on, on the way home from work on the next Tuesday. She took it to the dealership and they told he she had lost 1 PSI on one of the tires. That's pretty much all I know, sorry if that doesn't help.
 
I love my Green Tea CRV though, I can easily see this car lasting me 10+ years.
