In my country, this is the official car of "suburban family that used to be upper middle class but can barely afford the inflated fuel and repair costs in 2024"
Ah yes, America.
@@pootispiker2866I would say in UK its also an issue.
@@pootispiker2866 nah dude thats basically all the world, my parents barely touches its toyota kijang because of fuel prices and that thing was just 2 liter engine.
@@Aercadian Yeah but it is the UK isn't it.
@@ALIGwedew62 I am immune from gas prices haha. But yeah they're insane everywhere right now.
"you put mayo on spaghetti and don't use turn signals"
Both are actual war crimes
I know a guy who is a senior ED (emergency department) consultant at my local hospital. Probably earns upwards of £100k/$130k a year. Drives one of these from 2006 with 130k miles on it. Truly a car for anyone.
I used to work in the legal field and met several successful lawyers who drive this very generation of CR-V. So you’re right.
the coolest car is a paid off car; he wins.
Senior Erectile Dysfunction consultants only get $130k salary?
@@batmitestar1560 emergency department 🤣
There are senior consultants of erectile dysfunction?
An uninteresting car is the right car for 90% of the population. A car that is affordable to buy, drive and keep while still being decently comfortable and safe is exactly what most people are after.
This. I get my kicks, daily motorcycle commutes for 30 years, decades of spirited adrenaline. My need for speed is more than satisfied so I have no yearning for it in a car. My first car was the family Dodge Dart (the original one, with the Slant Six) and what I want in a car is what I got with that and what you get with the CRV; the most useful, reliable vehicle that money could possibly buy. I have a 2010 Fit with 190K miles- needs only wear items like brake pads, wiper blades, oil changes. I finally replaced the spark pugs, serpentine belt, and transmission fluid for the first time- last year, at 180,000 miles! If I wanted a larger car, I'd buy this 2014 CRV in a heartbeat, and be happy, yea even excited about it, and I'm not prissy enough to car about what it does or does not "project".
Until you realize 90% of the global population would benefit more from public transportation.
@@Lorentz_Driver Easy to say that if you live in a good area for it. Here its completely impossible without inconvenient amounts of busses
It's boring if life is boring, it's fun if life is fun. I enjoyed driving it to the beach, road trips and new locations abroad.
@@Lorentz_Driver🤓
now THIS is a certified regular car classic
What do I need the family car to do?
- Move 4 people and a dog in comfort
- Occasionally carry a van-load of stuff
- Be reliable
What don't I need?
- Amazing handling or performance : The components are more expensive, the fuel is more expensive, and the traffic is too bad to enjoy it anyway
- Unreliability
Yep, it's the automotive equivalent of a fridge. It does the job in a deeply boring and predictable way.
If I want excitement, I use my motorcycle.
I just used the same reference to a refrigerator. I call this kind of vehicle, an "appliance vehicle."
also these mid-2010s CRVs are cheaper than the equivalent RAV4, and are easier to find with heated leather seats
I just bought a 2014 CR-V today, and this describes me to a T. I just want beautiful, boring, comfortable simplicity. My bike handles my fun duties these days.
The official car of merging into highway traffic at 40mph.
My mom has the '13 model and this thing is the definition of a utility vehicle. Plenty of storage to take me up to college with all my belongings, and it has some underrated towing capacity. Up until I got my pickup we would haul two motorcycles to Birmingham every year, granted it does struggle on hills a bit. That CR-V has been all over the South, from Houston to Nashville, and even though there's no thrills with it, it takes you where you need to go, no question. Love you, Mom.
That is not a 2014 Model with a 5-speed Auto trans.
That is a 2015/6 with a CVT & Direct Injection (Bright 'longhorn' Molding below rear window, different grille, different engine cover with Earthdreams label)
You really expect these automotive journalist to know what the fuck they’re talking about? It’s not what they’re saying, it’s how they’re saying it that matters.
U sure?
🤓🤓🤓
Came here to say the same thing. I specifically bought a 2014 for my kid to drive for this exact reason (no DI and no CVT). That’s a 2015 unless they swapped bumpers and lights (doubt it)
Also the head unit came out in 15'
"...a time in one's life where boredom is preferable to the excitement of uncertainty"
This is why I come to RCR. Darkly beautiful, Roman.
I own this car. I fucking love it. Never gives me problems. Enough space for it to be useful and it’s comfortable. It has the utility of a truck in the back and car styling and feel in the front. This is the car for anyone who doesn’t need a car to fuel their ego. If anyone asked me to suggest a car to them I’d glowingly recommend the CRV to them.
Having driven one a few times, the big things I don't like about it are that a passenger can't pair a phone to the audio system while the car is moving, the audio system sounds like hot garbage, and finally the throttle takes like 2 seconds to react to you pressing the pedal, it's ridiculous. Back when the car had a regular automatic this was much less of a problem, the change to a CVT really ruined the feel.
@@CockatooDude I drive the 2014 before the switch to CVT. If I were a nut about audio, I’d probably go aftermarket. I don’t have issues pairing different phones while the car is moving. Sounds like 2014 might be the year to get. When I was searching for my CRV, the 2014 had the least amount of issues on the old NHTSA website.
@@billistics Yeah seems like it. In that case I'll concede, you got a good car.
What a beautiful review and really struck a chord with me. I have this car and next year she will be 10 years old. Never had a single fault, just fuel oil and tires. You are right - I bought it to have unevenful and comfortable motoring, when I had too many other events going, and it has done just that. This is a car equivalent of having a wife who heals your childhood traumas. It's even nice from behind, kind of like a Volvo SUV.
This car just hugs its occupants and takes care of my family. Even in moderately deep snow, it has always gotten us home. It always gets us to, and most importantly, away from the adventure. This a car that cares about you and was designed by someone who cares.
This video made me feel grateful. You captured the essence here
The Streets song at the end absolutely made my day. I listened to that album on loop when my first adult love ended. Thank you Roman for all you do.
Such a good album! It took me a second to clue in.
I heard it and was like “I know this” then he put on the accent and I knew it was the streets
For a channel that is named “Regular Car Reviews” we get very few reviews of actual regular, everyday vehicles like this one.
Now if you see a sporty car, it's probably a giveaway
@@kreaola93 I think the word you meant to say is “Scam” not giveaway
Can you explain to this? I'm new to this channel @@colincraigo5793
Your top 25 of 1995/97 are completely on-point.
Well done!
My dad's favorite car was the first gen CR-V. Perfect and practical SUV that is great for hiking. The trunk lid was a foldable table which is perfect for having a picnic in the woods. My dad even imported 2 of those to Russia, he has owned one for almost 10 years. The flat floor was great and had a lot of cargo space. He went on fishing trips to the woods and survived the Russian harsh environment.
Loved mine too, I really considered importing one because in the states they are torn up. Wish it had made it to the states with a diesel of a 6cyl
My mechanic dailies a 2007 ish CRV with 300k on it. He bought from a customer who was going to trade it in at 200k - they brought it to him once the warranty was done, he knew it inside and out. His co owner at the shop has a Corolla with 280k
When my dad needed a new car a few years ago he bought a 2016 crv because he found one that was too good a deal to pass up. The compass and the electric trunk latch broke every time he got them fixed but other than that you’d never have to think about the car because it always just gets you from a to b with no drama. I don’t know if the crv is ever the right car for anyone but it’s never the wrong car either
My wife has one of these, same color, just a 2016 which has the CVT. It's an awesome car. Good mileage, great in the snow, safe, comfortable, and spacious. The CVT actually acts like a CVT and doesn't fake shift. It's got heated cloth seats, and all the creature comforts you would want. It's certainly not an exciting vehicle, but it's as reliable as a wood burning stove, and perfect for my wife and our family. It's a car we don't even have to think about. I do all the scheduled maintenance and my wife racks up the miles. It's great. The only real negative is the wind/road noise at highway speeds. But it doesn't bother the wife so it doesn't bother me. And it will run until the heat death of the universe, which suits us just fine.
My mom recently got a gently used 2020 Accord and I have to agree, I LOVE that Honda doesn't make the CVT fake shift. That thing is scary fast and very quiet. One day I'll probably end up with that car and idk how I feel about that. I like my 5spd 99 civic (which also used to be hers) and my 99 jeep grand cherokee with the 4.0.
The one they're reviewing has the CVT as well because it's actually a 2015, not a 2014 as stated.
I can't wait to see you in my home city of Melbourne, Australia towards the end of the year - I've been watching you for ages and ages and glad you'll be making the trip down here.
They need to test drive an Alphard!!
My car is a Dacia Lodgy.
It is 1.6 litre, single overhead cam, 2 valves per cylinder and no turbo.
It has 89 horsepower.
You would die if you had to drive this.
I absolutely love it. Because it's comfortable (for me), boring, reliable and it just works.
I'd love to see the RCR review on that.
It has wind up windows, no aircon, no central locking, no heated seats, no electric mirrors, no cruise control, no alloy wheels, no metallic paint, no tinted windows, no speakers in the rear, no front fog lights, no screens, no trip computer, it doesn't even have a temperature gauge, well, it would be faster to say what it does have. Which is seats and a steering wheel.
But it cost €6000, does 30 mpg and can probably carry more than modern pickup trucks with their stubby little beds and provides comfortable seating for five.
My car is worse cos it's a Honda Jazz with 95 hp but also CVT trans 0-100 kph in 13.5 seconds 😅 it does have cruise and climate control, auto headlights and wipers and panoramic roof but it's so slow....
Great analysis, I felt nostalgic with those lists of things from '95 and '97. I liked seeing this generation, because I barely remember anything from 2014!
I get what you mean about living a "boring" unexciting life, it's relaxing, low stress, and frees you up to enjoy what you want to enjoy and do what you want to do.
I remember when the CRV debuted in 97 being reviewed on car and driver (with the picnick table). I never knew the letters stood for anything, very cool.
this has gotta be one of if not one of RCR videos in a given time frame
This is or is not a statement made in a particular period of time.
Refreshing to see an actual "regular car" and not yet another circlejerk over a niche enthusiast vehicle.
I love this channel. But there's a mistake in this episode. I had a 2014 CRV and that's not a 2014. It's 2015 I know because of the lower grill, fog lights and the silver strip on the back lift gate. I loved the one I had, until it developed Electrical problems. It was a good car .
Thanks for some brain.
It's probably less a mistake on the Roman's part and more that the owners just forgot exactly which model year they have.
A box that moves, result.
If you have to purchase one of these NPC mobiles the 2 gen 2002 - 2006 is in my humble opinion the best option, they're inexpensive, easy to get and you get the fun quirks and features of the 1st gen
(Picnic Table, Full Size Spare, multitudes of interior hidden storage and folding seat configurations)
And the reliable easy maintenance of the newer models (K24, 5 speed torque converter automatic, modern crossover space)
The 2nd gen CRV is on the shortlist of vehicles i would buy without thinking.
I had an 06 CRV, manual, black on black with AWD. Unfortunately I T-boned an F350 with it. Miss that sucker every day. Took it everywhere; it was surprisingly hardy when offroad . Say what you want about it, but it's literally everything you could possibly need out of an SUV. Utility for days and reliability for much, much longer
First Gen CRV has double wishbone suspension based on the civic, b series, tall station wagon roofline, and all the good 90’s Honda attributes. The second Gen has none of those.
I love my 2005 2nd Gen with all my heart. Thing he’s been with me through thick and thin and has driven across the country twice.
@@CaptainTexas92
The second gen has the k series, more interior room, and doesn't rust if yleave if outside overnight in the rain...
The station wagons are supposed to be long, not tall by your logic the ford C-Max is a station wagon.
@@pbfloyd13 mine has never left me stranded I’ve owned it since high school it had 94,000 miles then and it has 315,000 now and sorry what I meant was a tall square roofline not egg shaped. To me while the k series is nice the CRV became a basic chassis and lost all the cool quirks the original had. It’s not a bad car just nothing “special”.
Man these video essays get me every time. This one is especially close to my heart. My Mom and Dad have had ever new model of CRV since ‘97 and I have driven a 2007 CRV that I bought off my Dad in 2010 and I have just clipped over 128,000 miles on that sweet little feller. It’s pretty gutless but it’s quick enough if you hit the green light just right and floor it you can be pretty annoying to most vehicles. Not win! No! But be annoying yes lol. Where it does shine is its reliability and it is a mountain goat for ice and snow. In winter time I often help rescue vehicles with my stock CRV. The all wheel drive just works really well and since it doesn’t have a lot of power it gets great grip. And if you hypermile it, I have achieved a best of 40 miles per gallon and was able to drive a total of 480 miles on one tank of gas. Not too bad. Cheers!
OMG! The Streets reference at the end. *core memory unlocked*. Spot on for the time period.
"The glorious simplicity of consistent, unbothered operation."
*the warhammer 40k mechanicus has entered the chat*
I got a 2012 of these from my mother and I adore the way I know it will never die. The 5spd auto they had until the refresh with the older engine still kicks some life out. It’s almost fun when I have to floor it to avoid an idiot swerving in a LIFTED DODGE RAAAAM going from 80-95 on the interstate
PS - that’s a 2015 or later. 2014 was pre-facelift and pre-saddening
You nailed it when you said boring can be welcome compared to uncertainty. The car is reliable so it eliminates the excitement and anxiety about breaking down. The car is good on fuel so it alleviates the anxiety about fuel prices. It was affordable so it alleviated the anxiety of high car payments. It was good in snow so there's more anxiety avoided. What's boring to one person is peace of mind to another.
Loved this video. Keep it up Roman!
Built in Swindon, home to a large roundabout.
A large series of roundabouts, and one "magic" one.
Canadian built for us. No Swindon
home to a now empty honda factory and local economic stagnation lmao
Should review the gen 1 or 2 CRV. Super loyal following for an older car.
I put all terrain tires on my 2005, a top rack, and slotted rotors. It’s a light off road machine. I will always love it.
I own a 2014 Honda CRV and you absolutely nailed every aspect of this car, especially what it’s like to drive. 100% appliance. After owning a succession of VWs and Audis, appliance is a compliment. And yup, in the future will probably drive something more fun as daily, but with a family it’s so easy. Loved the video. Laughed out loud a bunch of times and shared with my sister (who bought the same model after driving mine.)
I love this series man much love!
I had an AWD 2008 EX CRV. Absolutely loved it. Had that thing up and down mountain roads, family camping, cross country drives and the front seats laid flat to the back and, the back seats reclined creating a place to stretch out. Lost it in 2019 to a not at fault accident. Would have still owned it today
I have an 08 crv with 223,000 miles. It’s been in my family throughout its whole ownership. I love that car, it’s swift in traffic. Has a lot of room and is reliable as hell. I wouldn’t fear driving 1000+ miles away from home with it
Let's also remember that an SUV is very different than a crossover. A crossover is a tall car, and SUV is a truck on a truck chassis with truck stuff.
The CRV is what I call an "appliance vehicle." It will safely, economically, and reliably get you where you need to go with no more emotional connection than one has with their refrigerator. It's the kind of vehicle I recommend to non-enthusiasts.
It's finally dethroned the Corolla as the "I just need a car, I don't care which" car
Shoutout to the rallycross Mazda 6. I love when people rally just anything at all.
18:56 ' dont take a boring simplistic life for granted' as a silver corolla drifts past.... 😄😀
Love it! You guys rock
That was beautiful!. Great job guys!.
I bought one of these a few years ago. I needed something big enough to get my parents around. Something that could fit adult passengers sometimes in all the seats. Something comfortable for road trips. Something to fit ikea runs. Something boring and reliable. Something that will grow with me as I do (having kids wise). I plan on having this car for a LONG time so I’m not mad at my decision. As I enter my 30s this year I find myself caring less what I drive. I love this car because it’s always there for me and that’s all I need.
"The glorious simplicity of consistent unbothered operation" - what a great line!
This is, by far, the most accurate car review since the 7th gen accord video. Love youuuuuu
I used to work at a Honda dealership and these were oddly my favorite generation of C-RV, even more than the newer ones.
Adrenaline, in my soul, something something Cody Rhodes
Stoked for Australia!!
But Melbourne...The best view of Melbourne is in the rear view mirror! haha!
Doing the Sydney to Melbourne drive though... yeah, that's a nice drive on the ocean road! Might head down for the car meet!
a young lady I know put over 300k on a 1st gen. Sold it and bought a 4th gen. which now has over 150k on it. She swears that other than basic maintenance, both have been perfectly reliable. For that, I have a lot of respect for these uninspiring cars.
Lol the streets reference at the end. I love that song
I own this exact same CRV just one year newer. It is reliable, comfortable, good in the snow. It even gets 28 average MPG. Literally has everything MOST people need in a daily driver.
That was the best outro song yet, love the streets
I genuinely thought that would be the one song to stump people. But I'm glad it didn't. Now I really know I'm among friends.
I love my ‘21 CR-V! Have taken it on three long distance road trips since I’ve had it and was far more comfortable than any other vehicle I’ve owned. I plan on holding on to it for a good long while!
The still frame walking reminds me of a grade school film strip from 35 years ago. The little white projector that played audio fro a cassette, and there'd be a tone and the librarian would advance film strip to the next frame.
I've had my 2014 CRV for over a year now. It's been a great car all around. Ive been across the country in it, camped in it multiple times, and i loved every minute.
Its also the most "sport" SUV I've ever driven, its much faster and handles better than both my old chevy s10 blazer, and nissan pathfinder. Also the AWD has been great even on super slushy mud roads. 9/10 just wish it had better clearance under the vehicle.
My dad was the most painfully average baby boomer when it came to cars. When my parents had kids, he bought a used Pinto station wagon, he started making a little more money, and they got an early Escort wagon, then he got THE BIG promotion and got a maroon '87 Taurus wagon. He drove that till the transmission imploded on a desolate stretch of GA state highway in 2000. Then he bought an off lease '97 CRV, and drove it for another decade.
YES! See you in Melbourne!!!!!
I have a 14 Holden ute
We had a 2008 Acura RDX, admittedly it had a hotter motor and SH-AWD but it’s the same platform. It’s a really good platform, it handled very well, had an excellent car-like turning radius and feel, and yet was extremely rugged and could handle snow, ice, wet gravel, sand, etc. The fundamentals of the SUV-ness of the car is really solid. It’s just a great platform.
listen to that pronunciation of melbourne. listen to that - beauuutiful mate. oh nick, i love that outro
Yup, that's me...I hit the age where I decided my vehicle wasn't an extension of who I thought I was (my Sentra SE-R filled that role a few years ago). My CR-V is bulletproof, roomy enough, comfy enough, efficient enough, and spacious enough for anything I need in my life, and it does everything without requiring any sort of mental energy on my end.
Excellent spot on analysis best roman vid to date
I drive a 2008 CRV, it is sexier than the 4th generation, it is 16 years old and has seen other cars come and go in that time, it will make it to 20 easy... its hard to consider getting a different vehicle either new or something interesting because for my lifestyle as a triathlete, trail runner, and documentary filmmaker, nothing has the prospects to do better than what I have. Have been watching RCR for many years.
Had a Honda CRV 2003 EX for the longest time. Loved that car. It handled well, I drove that thing into the ground. Eventually like all good things, it too, hit an end. A mechanic who knew how to replace transmissions bought it from me, so I hope good old Bucky is still out there being the best CRV he can be.
I almost bought a newer Honda CRV but went with a Subaru for my next car. I love the CRVs but the transmissions issues did scare me away from a used one, and the new ones were a bit out of my price range.
I have a 2012 ex fwd model with a K&N air filter. I love it
I daily an 04 crv and almost all of this applies. Main differences are mine is a manual with 210,000 miles. The gas mileage isn’t good enough to make it worth wanting to keep driving, but it won’t die and it’s costing me nothing to keep seeing I only drive 1/4 of what I used to. It can be fun in that it spins the fronts wildly for 1.5 seconds before the awd kicks in, but it IS killing me slowly in almost every other aspect.
Hello everyone hello RCR 👋 Great video as always you guys ROCK!! CRVs are actually great little SUVs really simple and to the point really hard to find a fault! Thanks for the Life lesson 16:00-19:00 life is truly what you make it 🙏💯!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos I love the area/scenery I used to live in Hazleton!
*Side note the K24 engine has a lot of potential!! Slap a TURBO KIT and you have 400HP Sleeper 🏁
I was thinking at 5:08 haha you missed me until 5:26 when 1997 came up and directly nailed my birth year lmao.
I inherited a 2014 CR-V from my grandfather last year right before I went to college. As far as I know he got it new. So far it’s been the most reliable car I’ve owned and, despite it being even more basic than this example (which may or may not be a 2014), I love it. Maybe l just like “boring” cars (my first car is a Volvo 240), but it’s nice to just have a car that *works* for once.
They got it wrong. It's actually a 2015 in the video.
I have one of these. And it's great for doing exactly what it's supposed to. VTEC kicks in at 5k so there's that.
This reminds me of my 2011 Subaru Forester a bit at times, except my Forester can go up a light trail, wade through up to 20 inches of water, and has some serious traction to let me go through snow better than most other even 4WD vehicles. The handling is about the same as you describe, which is pretty good, the cargo space is damn useful, and I have close to the same towing capacity. The AWD system kills the gas milage (19/26) until the Forester gets the CVT and I can accelerate way faster with the slushy machine that is my toque converter.
my neighbour has a green one. though 'green' is too strong a word, it's green the way '90s gold corollas are gold, only as a way to distinguish it from grey. there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I’ve been waiting for you guys to do this car. It’s been my daily driver since 2015! (Same options but mine’s white) I’m literally sitting in one as I type this comment 😂
I have to say though, 8 years on, it hasn’t worn on me. If I want excitement, I have other cars for that.
Every time I drive through Pennsylvania it's like a time capsule of the peak 1990's. The cherry on that cake was a trip to the Chambersburg Mall.
Thank you for this very regular car
I was released in ‘95, thanks Roman :)
The CRV is so normal that in the rolling shots with other cars I actually look at the other traffic around it and can’t discern what is being shown. We’re picking up a 2015 for my brother this week. Great timing on the video after having drove one of these
I love the Cody Rhodes song nod. Lyrics fit perfectly.
Not the worst outro, amazing Streets homage!
This is such a great generation of the CRV. Last to exclusively use the legendary K24 engine (yes, I know, the base model 2017-2019 models could still have the K24), great fuel economy, comfortable on long trips, and a truly insane amount of storage for its size. It’s the family vehicle equivalent of a Honda Civic (appropriate since it’s basically a Civic on stilts with an Accord powertrain). The one in the video is peak CRV… the 2015-2016 with the Earth Dreams direct injected K24 and the CVT (which, unlike Nissan’s, is actually an excellent transmission with a proven track record of reliability if you maintain it).
The EX and EXL without navigation can even have beta firmware installed on the radio to add Apple CarPlay (but not Android auto). The navigation has some quirks, which is why Honda never gave the beta a full release, but the music is excellent.
Had one for 7 years and it cost me a grand total of, no joke, under $1500 in routine maintenance, and not just oil changes, that includes two transmission fluid changes, two brake fluid changes, and a 4-wheel brake job (DIY at home).
Finally. An actual regular car on Regular Car Reviews.
The first gen Cr-V is a gem, 90’s Honda double wishbone suspension, based on the 6th gen civic, the “big block” b series, perfectly laid out sensible interior design all pre 2000 Hondas had, and the versatile nature to raise or lower the suspension and make it a nice off-roader or a station wagon EK. Granted it all ended with the second gen CRV when it got its own chassis.
We owned a 2001 for many years (with a 5MT), and my parents had a 2006. Many years of reliable, trouble free service. Honda does an amazing job with interior space, when we used ours for a move the amount of stuff it could fit inside defied reason, it was like a TARDIS.
We just bought one. It's obvious how family centric it is. The mirror really is handy. My partner drives it and I drive a 2015 Fit. I take the CR-V when I have the chance because it is so much more comfortable than the fit. I am considering just getting a second one for myself.
Thanks, definitely needed to hear that at 17:20 today.
The CR-V really is THE official car of doing 55MPH in the left lane. I'm stuck behind more of these than I am stuck behind Prius drivers and ex-Prius-driving Tesla drivers... and that says a lot.
I work in a thrift store warehouse, and this is the number one most common vehicle I see giving donations. The number of CRVs probably outweigh the amount of other honda vehicles I see on a daily basis in general.
At the end with the hood release, I have had some Peugeots and Citroens where that's where the hood release is, and to me it's the 1st place i look, since all the other cars i've had, had either no interior hood release, or it was broken so id have the cable running through the grille. Much love from Finland.
Owned one of these for 6 years, 110k miles. 1 set of new tires and oil changes every 5k was all the maintenance I had to do for it, extremely boring but the most reliable car I ever owned
Pretty funny someone with the nickname "The Roman" wants Cody to finish the story at Wrestlemania
From one Roman to another, I hope he takes a nice, long vacation after Mania...just not with the belt.
Had one of these and sorely regret trading it in. Loved everything about it.
Here in Canada, older gen JDM CR-Vs are a option for rural mail delivery (import rule up here is 15 years, so with it being 2024 up to 2009 models could be imported)
Dedication and humility are the secrets to your success. Keep shining.
Even the spammers love RCR.
where I live this car currently has two types of owners, the first owner is over 50 years old and bought this car brand new and continues to do most of the maintenance according to the owner's manual, occasionally lending it to his daughter to do shopping or taking your grandchildren to school, or this car has had several different owners who barely did basic maintenance, loaned it to friends and family who used the car for everything possible as if it were a rental car
My dad got one of these recently, in the exact same color. The heat doesn't go back past the front seats so we keep a pile of blankets for rear passengers.
My mom is so old fashioned. The center console of her CRV is filled with SO many CD jewel cases packed like she was going for a Tetris high score that I can't fit my hand down there for the built-in USB dongle whenever I drive it.
Not sure if the monologue towards the end was serious…. But feel like I needed that
I drove my older sister's cr-v for a day. my only experience with hondas up until then was an accord manual and despite both having 2.4L engines these two vehicles couldn't be more different.
the accord just wanted to move. the only language that thing understood was violence and it was a blast to drive.
the cr-v on the other hand felt subdued. it wasn't a bad car, but it's not something I have any striking memories of either. it was just there.
Thank you Roman, I appreciate you too
