Hi all, 1st time post on your forum.
I recently purchased a 2007 CRV with Honda roof racks and hit the highways yesterday. Above 90kph the roof racks start their whistling and on a long trip would drive me mad. anyone else struck thsi problem? Is there a "quick fix" apart from keeping the speed down or removing them?
On another note I am quite impressed with the car. I bought it for my missus and it has a lot going for it compared to my 2011 XS premium Forester that I bought new. The 5 speed auto box puts the Subie to shame, the general driving comfort is superior and the Honda responds far better to throttle when needed. The cruise control actually drops back a gear on steep downhill runs to maintain the selected speed. I planned on updating the Subie a 3 year intervals and am now thingking that the Subie may be replaced by another CRV in a couple of years.
Cheers,
Squid
