Hi all,
I've been good and searched for related threads, but couldnt find a huge amount of info :confused:
My girlfriends just put a deposit down on a 2000 RD1 CR-V Sport. She originally had her heart set on a Toyota RAV4 but I talked her into the Honda :cool: Picked it up from Von Bibra Honda (Southport - Gold Coast) for ~14k. We took it for a decent test drive and the car drove really nicely. It has 110km on the clock and has been Honda dealer serviced its whole life (every 10,000 without fail). The colour is gold with darkest legal tint.
I had a quick look at a US based site Hondasuv.com ? and some of the Vs posted were still going strong with 200,000 miles +.
Anyone know how strong the B20 motor is? For a car thats about 1450kg, the motor only puts out 94kw so I'm guessing it can sometimes work fairly hard.
Basically are there any common mechancial issues that have been highlighted with this model run? Major expenses at 150xxx interval for example?
Any help appreciated - thanks guys :)
