Is Honda CRV Strong And Reliable by Bestman2021: 9:17pm On May 16, 2021 |
Good evening car enthusiasts and dealers. I'm in the process of getting a car for my wife. We prefer an SUV because of the terrain of the area where we live so we finally settled for a Tokumbo 2004 Honda CRV instead of a 2001 Camry we had earlier inspected. I have invited my mechanic to do necessary checks on the car and run a VIN check and everything clicks good, asides the radio which requires a code to come on but he said he will circumvent that code for us. The car is neat and engine and gear are in top condition. But he's advising me that the parts are a bit pricey compared to the 2001 Camry we wanted to pay for initially, and that it doesn't do well on long distance journeys, especially if we intend to put it on the road regularly, say Lagos to Ibadan and back, as the engine might fail. That it is best for intracity use (short distance commuting) unlike the Toyota which would best any distance and weather without any problem. So please I need Honda users/dealers/seasoned mechanics to please tell me if this is true. Is the 2004 Honda CRV Strong and reliable? Is it easy to maintain? Is it fuel efficient? Are the parts easily available? Please I await your honest advice to guide me and my wife. Thank you. |

In my opinion the honda CR-V is built for Nigeria. That motto no dey die, even the 1999 own still dey road with their smoky engine and rear k leg. Get the 4x4 variant according to your description of the terrain in your area and ensure your don't abuse the engine and you're good to go. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Bestman2021: I'm sure your mechanic is one of those old school mechanics who learn how to repair cars with Toyota and Datsun. Just make sure if you get it he's not the one you'll be using to maintain the vehicle. For the radio it's simple. You need first of all the serial number of the radio. You can do that by holding down 1 and 6 together on the radio then turn the ignition to on. The s/n will display so you can quickly write it down. Then proceed to https://hondaradiocodes.com/ and input the s/n to get the code. That's all 25 Likes 1 Share |

Honda CR-V is better than Camry. I use a element 04 which is same as CRV and I use sienna 2000 which shares part with the Camry V6. I don't want to talk too much but the Honda parts are way stronger than toyota. Interms of price, they are identical but the Honda parts rarely break but Toyota parts are cheap sha even brand new 1 Like 1 Share |

U can do your research too.. Check for reliability ratings and reviews and u will have an idea how reliable a particular brand of vehicle is. They are both very reliable.Go for Honda crv as it's more recent in model and for the reason of your terrain as it has better ground clearance. Sorry to say but please stop using cheap mechanics.. Good things are not cheap.. A better qualified mechanic will charge more but u won't go wrong with them.. How can your mechanic say a k24 2004 Honda iv tech engine 2.4 liter could knock engine as it's not strong enough for long distance? Your mechanic is quack. That engine is a very reliable engine that can travel anywhere, anytime as long is its properly maintained. Honda is quite selective of its transmission oil so use on Honda ATS DW1 only and service every 6 months with a qualified mechanic if u travel a lot or to be on the safer side and strictly use full synthetic oil 5w 30 products like Castrol, valvoline, Mobil etc and u will have no problem.. Good qualified mechanic, routine maintenance and buying authentic/OEM parts and my brother u have no problem again and u will thank me later. By the way do u know Honda makes better engine than Toyota? 12 Likes 2 Shares |

with what you just stated, i think what you should be bothered about is your Mechanic and not the Car. From personal experience, Honda CR-V is a very strong car that won't give you any fault whatsoever as long as you keep up with a very good maintenance culture and not cut corners when its time for you to purchase genuine parts. The 2.4L engine is very reliable and can take you to Maiduguri and back if need be. You should be weary of that your kazeem you call mechanic before he tells you to remove the thermostat immediately after buying the vehicle. 9 Likes 1 Share |

I have the 2004 model which I bought in 2008. I still drive the car till date. The engine has never been worked on apart from change of kick starter. This car has been driven from warri to Ibadan and Lagos several times. Also to Ondo state as kids were in boarding school. So driven to Abuja, Jos, Kano when on holiday. The CRV has not stopped on me once. I service the car regularly though with Mobil oil, Evey 3months as I am always in the road. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I highly recommend Honda CRV. This 2004 model is rugged, climbs Rocky terrains with ease, good fuel economy, superb handling, the seats are comfy and interior is spacious for people who have legs. I wish I know what I know now about Honda CRV a year or two ago. It's so beautiful. Abroad pics below. Yet to snap it in since I took delivery of it. Will update the thread when I do. 2 Likes 1 Share

Kaiiiii and he calls himself a Mechanic?how dare him compare the bullet proof engine in that Honda (and most Honda) with the engine in the drop light camry(2001 Camry)? Sorry to say some people don't know anything about the profession that claim to be into...smh,congrats sir for making a wise decision and enjoy your ride.p.s Toyota can lay claims to be equal or better to Honda in a lot of areas but one area they don't even dare is when it comes to the mitochondria (engine). 2 Likes |
