A good oil to use is a synth 0W40. The OEM oil is 0W20 semi synth.

It's better than the current sedan, however, I have to say that I am not a fan of this new style.

The 'rolla is a safe buy and should last for ages. I don't like the styling, the look of the dash and the use of a CVT auto. These things are mostly subjective, so each to their own. I think the...

Yes, you will void the warranty. Best to stick with the recommendations. If you are not happy escalate the matter as follows: Service Mgr->Dealer Principal->Honda Aust->ACCC

The 'rolla is a safe and practical buy, and the new sedan is as big as an early gen Camry. My issues with it are bland styling, cheap looking interior and CVT auto. My beef with the CVT is that I...

The civic hatch makes sense if you want the look of a coupe with hatchback practicality. It offers 5 seats, magic seats, big 400 Ltr boot and to my eye good looks. The recent styling tweaks have...

Good luck with the issue resolution.

As requested, here is a photo of the trim mis-alignment. I can live with it, but its a disspointment that this is considered normal by Honda on a brand new car. One of the reasons I went with Honda...

Just spoke to Honda Australia and the poor rear window trim alignment is explained away as... they are all like that / within spec. So now its official Honda considers Lada like trim alignment...

No, they did not go into detail and I did not ask.

Brand new... Had 16kms on it when I took delivery.

Hi,

I took delivery of a Thailand built CRV recently and have noted the following issues with it:

1. Aircon pipe leaking, needed replacement. Apparently a known issue, dealers wait for owners...

The aircon is now fixed. Looks like a known problem with one of the pipes. This part is only replaced if an owner complains.

My new honda has a 5 yr warranty and would rate Honda ahead of Hyundai/Kia.

Interesting comment. I guess if my Honda does not prove to be a good purchase, the Koreans are worth a look at. Having said that, I know of 2 people with near new Hyundais that have had their 6...

I hope this issue with the car and the inept approach to diagnosis is a one off. The reason I purchased a Honda was for reliability and quality and that the dealership techs are well trained and...

After 2 visits to my Honda dealer, they appear to have finally diagnosed my new CRV's aircon problem... they say a pipe needs replacement. The part needs to come infrom Japan, requiring a 3rd visit...

Battery warranty is 8 years... however the warranty for the inverter is not. Pray the inverter does not fail, you could be up for $7K or so for new one. I was buying a used hybrid, I would be only...

Hi, took delivery of a CRV in June. I have had the car back twice to get the aircon fixed. Has anyone else here had aircon issues on a new Honda?

Hi,

Since I was too cheap to buy a CRV with a factory Sat Nav, I have installed concealed USB cabling to power my Garmin Nuvi 50. Thankfully this involves almost no drilling and dismantling and...

I found that I could enable Pandora functionality in my CRV. I got into the service a menu and switched Pandora on. Now, when I plug my iPhone into the USB port, I can select the source Pandora. ...

Congrats on the new car! If I was you I'd keep it stock or add the Honda bits, you avoid possible warranty and insurance issues if you go aftermarket. I'm loving my VTiL hatch and thats after owing...

Is there an alternative to paying a dealer $525 for a keyfob? I'd like a 3rd key but baulk at the price asked.

Thanks GreyFox, you seem very knowledgeable on the UK Civics. Seems like electronics are the achilles heel of all modern cars, Honda's included. I'm confident that my honda will give much better...

Thank you for the welcome, happy to be part of this Honda community.

I have had 2 Golf IVs from new. The first one was a Wolfsburg built lemon and the second one a 2004 Golf Sport was much...
