CRV 2004 vs 2005

[stoff]

hi guys,

my dad wants a CRV..

i was just wonderin whether he shud get a new 2004 model or a 2005 model?

is there major improvements for a 2005 model?

because, for the same price, we can get a CRV sports w/ leather etc 2004 model or a base model 2005..

anything wrong with the crv's we shud kno about?

thanks!

get 2005, it would be foolish to get the 04. 05 i think has some extra features and Srs airbags.
Go 05.

There is not much diff at all between the 04 and 05. I have an 02 and saw an 05 at the dealer the other day and am not too impressed. Its a nice facelift but nothing more.

The 05 has the following new features:

new headlight design
new fogs
new rear tailight design
5 speed auto
side airbags on sport models
drive by wire throttle
alarm
new "always on" gauges
steering wheel audio controls
new MP3 player for sport models
16" wheels

If you can get an 04 with leather for the price of a standard 05, I would pick the 04. I wouldnt bother with a standard model. Go the sport no matter what you do.

are they a good car? any major problems?

i see so many of them for sale second hand..all low KM's..like 20-30K's..

and makes me think why ppl sell em off so quickly?

go for a euro. I personally reccomend. Crvs are not bad cars but much better out there like a euro..

My mum bought a CR-V Sport earlier this year, I begged her to buy a Accord Euro but she didn't. They are roughly around the same price range,If it was my money I know I would deffinatly go for the Euro.

If you are looking for more of a family car then deffinatly have a look at the new Odessey. They are a good looking car. Imagine a set of 20 inch rims on one of those babies.

i think my dad's always wanted something like a sports utility vehicle..hence why the CRV.

and i reckon the CRV's look pretty nice for what they are anyways.

I say skipp both the crv and try convince him get accord euro. Although i love the crv. Got one at home, but i've been tryin to get my dad to sell it to buy an accord euro.

Sports= euro utility=.....i duno :P Euro is ver quick car, the manual that is. Tell your dad to give the manual euro a try, if he doesnt get thrilled by its 6 speed, 140 kw 2.4 litre than you guys should consider the CRV. Crv is no off roader, it made perferebly for onraod. Want off road see the xtrail or the sub outback.
