For those having the 3rd Gen especially a 2011. Any probs when getting into high mileage territory? My 11 has 38k. I need a truck, but can't swing two payments. So if things start to go down hill It will help my decision to know, although I really don't expect any issues. Thanks!
That rattle sound on cold starts is normal on almost any honda from my experience. Even my V6 Pilot sounded different on cold mornings vs after warming up. Our 93 Civic is that way too, and it has 211,000 miles on it. You should be good for a long time. My 2007 has 90k and is still like new.
That's interesting. Most of the time it's the other way around. I've thought about running some Lucas Oil PURE SYNTHETIC OIL STABILIZER, but I just don't know.
I drove a good-condition low-mile 2010 CR-V yesterday. Manual gearbox, 2.0 litre petrol engine, 150 HP, Swindon-made I assume. I really liked the sitting position and ease of changing gears, as much as I like my 2005. Felt the engine to be a bit more eager than on my 2005. Biggest improvement over the 2005 was the 6:th gear. At 3000 rpm the 2005 does 100 km/h (top gear=5), while the 2010 did almost 120 km/h at 3000 rpm (top gear =6). The lower revs makes the drive quieter and will bring down petrol consumption a bit. Visibility backwards was worse than for the 2005 (smaller rear side windows). Now I know that I will go for a 2010 or 2011 model year CR-V when I retire my 2005. I don't like the looks of generation 4, and the manual gearbox of gen 4 did not feel as good as for gen 2 and 3.
Just crossed 231K on my 08 V.
Tires, brakes and other maintenance items.
Dealer says compliance bushing show signs of cracking ( no clunks yet ).
Also, catalytic converter heat shield is beginning to rattle
Probably will have to replace shield soon.
That's quite a few miles! Glad to hear it's holding up. And here I thought I had a lot of miles on my 09 (131k). Glad to know there is a lot of life in mine, I like it a lot!
My 2011 CRV-EX-L with navi has 80 K and I have changed oil every time the light comes on with Mobil 1,replaced a battery and at 80K replaced all the brake pads. Also at 50 or 60K replaced all fluids. It runs great and gets good mpg but I did drive 14 hours to S.C. it does not has long distance ass friendly seats ! I am actually going to an auto seat place to see what it might cost to get them more padding.
