I nearly bought a 3rd gen when I was looking to buy a CRV. After reading a lot of information and watching videos etc... My choice was the 2 Gen. I absolutely love my Honda. You can see how well built it is and for my use... Being daily, offroading, camping it's definitely a better option for me. I have done some mods to mine to make it a better off roader. Though I really like the shape of the 3gen. Great video.🇦🇺🚙
Thank you very much..Both cars are very good, even though each is different..I also ended up choosing the 2nd generation..It is absolutely perfect for my use.
My Mom had the 2nd Gen and 3rd. The 2nd seemed way too top heavy and unstable, esp in higher wind. The wheelbase also seemed too close to each other. I feel much more comfortable and safe in the 3rd. It's a 2011 with only 63,000 miles on it.
I had a 1st gen and it ended up breaking down. Bought a 2nd gen and love it, was from a very caring owner, long and thorough maintenance record. I sold the 1st gen to the junkyard, but was sure to take the picnic table out before taking it to the junkyard, so now I have 2 tables, they're great.

I got mine today, black 2.2 mk2 127k miles. My mum has a 1.6 4th gen which I really liked, but the 2.2 on this is enthusiast level fun. 4x4 is nuts and you can even hear it (the turbo) spool up and feel it kick in. You can also somewhat control your fuel economy with the helpful gauge which is pretty helpful in a car as fun as this. Comes with a fridge and a free picnic table, 10/10 would recommend
Great video, and 2 beautiful CR-V's. I've been recommending them for years, to anyone who might ask, "What's a good used car to buy." So I've test driven a few of them with those friends who were looking to buy one. Finally, a few months ago, decided I should get one. Held out for a Gen2 EX model, same color as yours (Silver Moss Metallic) with a 5 speed manual transmission (very rare in the US) and sunroof. Just purchased one a month ago. I've heard the AWD system isn't that great because the front wheels have to lose traction and spin (loss of control) before the different speed between the front and rear wheels, will cause the rear differential to power the rear wheels. And then as soon as the rear wheels are spinning as fast as the fronts, the rear wheels are disconnected again. So the car comes in and out of control and loss of control, as it repeatedly comes in and out of AWD mode. Having previously owned a '95 Audi A6 Quattro Avant that was all wheel drive, all the time, the Honda system sounds pretty poorly designed. It'll be interesting to take the car skiing and see how it does.
Thank you very much and I agree, the CRV is a really reliable car..It's not so bad with the AWD..it's also the case that when the front wheels can no longer turn and are locked up, the rear wheels are added to help. But for example Subaru's S-AWD doesn't compare. In the snow the CRV works very well..I have several videos of it in the snow on my channel.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 I found your snow driving videos after making my comment. Great to see the car(s) in the snow, getting stuck, and what the wheels were doing under both conditions (driving, and being stuck). I'm looking forward to getting to know mine better. Thank you for the excellent videos!

I have a 2nd gen facelift... I love the shape, the engine and the reliability! I love the off road capability but i believe the perfect match would be the 2nd gen exterior and 3rd gen interior....

tímhle videem jsi mi udělal velkou radost!!!Je to super heledám nějaké auto do terénu jako overlanding.Žádný těžký bahení teren a podobně :) Narazil jsem na Hondu CR-v a líbí se mi ta starší.Sice jsem si nevšiml žádné uzávěrky nebo locku nebo něčeho nejspíše má svůj systém :) Ale líbí se mi i pneu na kufru :) Rozmýšlím mezi Duster,Nissan Xtrail a honda CR-v gen 2!!! takže trošku dilema,ale děkuji za moc pěkné video kterým jsi mi auto více ukázal :)
To jsem rád 🙂 Mám tu s CRV hodně videí, tak koukni..Kopce, bláto, sníh, brodění..Všechno možné. Já bych šel do CRV, je z toho co jsi psal nejspolehlivější. U 2.0 ivtec řešíš jen běžný servis. Není to offroad, nemá uzávěrku, ani redukci, ale zvládne dost..Je to kompromis mezi silnicí a lehkým terénem..Offroad to ale fakt není..

Trpí na rez na podvozku, tak nechat nastříkat. Měnit správné oleje - motorový, převodový a v diferenciálu, občas nechat sestřelovat vůle ventilů a pak je to auto nesmrtelné..Trochu větší spotřeba, ale je to SUV..Zase řeším jen pravidelný servis a ne drahé opravy..

Moc děkuju 🙂 Taky mě to více táhne ke 2 gen..Ale já mám raději všeobecně starší auta. Jinak motory měly 2 i 3 gen v podstatě stejné - ivtec a ictdi. Až facelift 3 gen měl jiný diesel..
Já jdu do 3. generace protože obavy z koroze u staršího auta, tím i tuhosti karoserie, jen ta hmotnost bude horší ale 2.2 to nějak přechroupe, ten motor znám, je příjemný a fanoušci evropských aut v něm slyší benzínový motor 😁 jediný co se mi nelíbí je střešní okno, z něj mám strach až za ušima...
This is THE video I've been waiting for, and youtube didn't offer it to me... ! 😠🤯 Same as all of you, I prefer gen2 Even if some equipment that was already missing back then is missing even more today!!!! M Otherwise I see that there is the VSA, while for the UK, France, and Benelux it was reserved for the Executive high finish (or EX depending on the country), which is not the case here (no sunroof, no leather,...) Strange that it changes so much in Europe. Your crv is built at swindon in the UK (VIN starts with SHS)?
Honda has therefore chosen to manufacture a different crv for each region of Europe. I'd be curious to see a catalog brochure of this crv in your country. One thing's for sure: we Europeans didn't get the best crv!!
great video! So if you had to choose a car for the next ~5years - which one would you choose? Im not a handy guy fixing cars myself, so reliability for me is number one. I would use the car as a daily with weekend trips to nature. Thank you for advice
I've had four CRVs. In the end, I chose the 2 gen i-VTEC. It does get a bit more gas mileage, but it is totally reliable! As long as it comes from a careful owner.. it also depends what the car will be used for..the diesel is more for longer routes..the 3 gen is more modern and more suitable for the road. The 2 gen has a bit of a retro interior but I like it. It also has a higher ground clearance, so it's more suited for light off-road. Its edgy design and the wheel on is absolutely awesome.
From my point of view, the 2.2 ictdi 103kw is one of the best diesel engines ever made.It was later replaced by the 2.2 idtec 110kw engine in the 3 gen facelift. I would have preferred the ictdi 103kw. Without the DPF, that was not well sorted! But a diesel turbo engine will always be more complicated than an atmospheric petrol engine..With the ivtec you just change the oil and adjust the valve clearances and the engine is immortal. You have to realise what you want the car for..Diesel is not suitable for frequent short journeys and frequent starts. It's more suited for longer distances.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Thank you for such an in-depth answer. 😎 I think I will go for the VTEC because, as you said, it will be better for the mostly shorter journeys I do, and the N/A petrol is so much less complicated (and cheaper to maintain/look after), even if the fuel consumption is much higher then the diesel. Thanks again, and I really enjoyed your video too 👍👍
Yes, it's like that with all car brands... they all start to look the same and the originality fades..the CRV gen 2 is a design gem.. just like the gen 1. Same with the Toyota Rav4.
As far as I know, the 2nd and 3rd generations had identical engines... The petrol ivtec 2.0 and 2.4 and the diesel 2.2 ictdi... Only the facelift version of the 3rd generation had a different diesel engine, the 2.2 idtec... The only design flaw I can think of with the 3rd gen 2.2 ictdi is that on the DPF models, the filter was placed far away from the engine and there was no perfect filter regeneration.
Hola amigo buenas noches, reciba un cordial saludo desde Colombia, felitaciones por su completo video, muy completo y la comparativa de las generaciones excelentes, estoy muy interesado en el Honda Cr-v modelos 2008 al 2012 mecánica, que confiada es la transmisión automática? Gracias por su oportuna respuesta, seré un atento seguidor de su Canal.
Hola amigo, saludos para ti desde la República Checa, debo afirmar que el Honda CR-V es una buena elección... ya he tenido 4 y nunca he tenido que lidiar con ninguna avería grave. En cuanto a la transmisión automática del CR-V, es muy fiable. Eso sí, no te olvides de cambiar a tiempo los líquidos de funcionamiento y los filtros. Utiliza siempre aceite original Honda en el diferencial trasero, de lo contrario no funcionará correctamente. ¡Te deseo mucha suerte y que tu Honda CR-V se haga realidad pronto!
Buenos días desde Colombia, que buen video, me pueden ayudar si alguno le a pasado con este vehículo, de un momento a otro empezó a zonar el disco trasero izquierdo y quedo frenada la rueda, se gasto toda la pastilla trasera izquierda. La derecha sigue igual. Que pasaría o cual será el problema? gracias.
Chcem sa opýtať ohľadom crv 2.gen ako jazdí, nenakláňa sa moc v zákrutách? Zadný rad sedadiel sa dá úplne vymontovať, nejakým jednoduchým spôsobom? Nehrdzavie - karoséria, podvozok? Má to nejaké typické chyby, počul som trebárs že často sa kazí kompresor klímy, alternátor apod. Ďakujem.
Ahoj, CRV je určitě auto pro klidného řidiče. Já s ním zatáčky nevymetám..No ale určitě se v zatáčkách nenaklání, jízda je v něm pohodlná..I když je třeba brát v úvahu vyšší světlou výšku auta. Celkově je podvozek o něco tvrdší, než třeba u 3 gen..Ale to je fajn v terénu, protože máš lepší odezvu po čem jedeš. Zadní část sedadel jde bohužel vyjmout jen klasickým způsobem. Je přišroubovaná, žádné rychloupínáky atd..Co se týče rzi, tak klasika jako u všech Japonců..Je třeba před koupí zkontrolovat podvozek..Trochu na to trpí, ale žádná tragédie. Možno nechat preventivně ošetřit spolu s dutinami a místy schovanými pod plasty. Měl jsem kus z Itálie a ta měla podvozek jako nový. Jinak CRV nijak zvlášť nerezne. A teď k poruchovosti: Měl jsem již 4 CRV (1x 3gen diesel a 3x 2 gen benzín) Jediné, co jsem řešil byl DPF filtr u té naftové..Jinak s CRV pokud to má svůj servis, tak člověk skoro nic neřeší..A když už, tak vždy dávat originální díly.. Hlavně originální Honda olej do diferenciálu..
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Ďakujem za info, ten zrovnávací test si rád pozriem, práve rozmýšľam nad kúpou CRV 2.gen I-CTDI vs RAV4 2011 2.0 benzín. Ktorý by si mi doporučil? Viac sa mi páči CRV II (CRV III asi nie už aj kvôli DPF), no v bazári je táto generácia už pochopiteľne s väčším nájazdom min. 200-250000km. Neviem koľko vydržia napr. vstrekovače alebo rozvodová reťaz.
@@pike1861 Ahoj, obě auta jsou výborná...Záleží, co ti vyhovuje. Rav4 když je to čtyřkolka, tak má trvalý pohon 4x4. CRV je zase prostornější, trochu pohodlnější a má větší místo na zadních sedačkách a v kufru.. CRV je více rodinné, Rav4 mi přijde o něco lepší v terénu (existuje i verze s uzávěrkou diferenciálu)
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Koľko km majú najazdené CRV II? CRV III i-ctdi - motoricky je spoľahlivý, trebalo niečo meniť (vstrekovače, zotrvačník, pal.čerpadlo, žhaviče, alternátor... )? Díky.
Ahoj prosimte jak si stojí u gen 3 motor 2.2 103 nebo 110kw ??? Já jen ze zavádět o benzinovou 2.0 gen 2 je fakt kumst . Už jsem byl na 5 vozech a teda nic moc 😔a byly to 2004 roky a 2 byly 2005 . Takže musím trosku rozšířit pole hledání
Ahoj, motor 2.2 ictdi je výborný..Jen se vyhni verzi s DPF (dovoz z Německa, CZ byly bez DPF..) To je tam špatně řešeno. Občas trochu píská turbo, ale 2 roky mi jen pískalo a vše ok. Ten motor sám o sobě je jeden z nejlepších dieselů vůbec. Taky svezení je o dost živější než benzín.
@@KingAngeal 2 gen měla jen jeden typ dieselu..2.2 ictdi (103kW) Ten stejný se pak dával i do 3 gen. Až facelift 3 gen měla jiný diesel 2.2 idtec (110kW). 2.2 ictdi 103 kW je podle mě spolehlivější. Každopádně bez DPF.
Hi, the gen 2 and gen 3 both have exactly the same all wheel drive (RT AWD). The gen 2 has the better ground clearance. I felt better off-road in the gen 2. But it must be said that the CR-V is only suitable for lighter terrain. It has no differential lock, no reduction gearbox and no solid axles either.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 thankyou, response understand. At this stage a Subaru or even a VW Tiguan looks like a stronger offroader. I already have a solid axled 4x4 but some ability would be good.
@mechtechau Yes, the VW 4motion has permanent all-wheel drive and the Subaru has Symmetrical AWD, which is unmatched in the family SUV category.The Subaru Forester also has a reduction gearbox (manual only). But on the other hand, these are not off-road vehicles..and for regular lighter terrain, the CRV is fine too. Another thing is that in terms of reliability, Honda CR-V gen 2 and 3 has no competition.
Agreed. Very reliable. I bought my 2006 diesel in 2017, with 160,000 miles. It now has 230k miles. Unbreakable and unstoppable. The man who sold it to me said there were a few years left in it yet. Yes, yes there were 😂
Let me temper this remark. Sure, it's reliable, but maybe not as reliable as the Toyotas and Mazdas I see at my mechanic friend and around. And I'll even go so far as to add that my father's lada niva, at 240k km (and 10 years older), is in just as good condition as my crv. But my crv is out of the competition 😅, it has all the known faults of this generation.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 sorry, i saw the whoke video but did not realize of that. Thanks. I'm between buying a 2004 manual or a 2011 atm. The 2004 has 260k km and de 2011 has 141k. The 2004 looks "damaged" and the 2011 looks like new. Both are petrol and runs very well. Hard choice.
@@walterascarrunz5874 Cool 😉 Well I would recommend taking someone who understands...Look at the engine and chassis...If the car was not crashed etc..For fluid leaks - oil, brake fluid. Otherwise I would take the better one..👍 Both generations are excellent...
@@chehuicho It's not about whether it's primitive...It's about who likes what...In our country the manual is widespread. It definitely has a lot of advantages over the automatic. For example, I can get the car up to speed faster. That's useful when going up a steep hill from a point... We've tried and compared with the automatic. The rider is also in better contact with the gearbox... which is absolutely essential, e.g. when driving in sport. Yes, the automatic is more comfortable...
Лично я предпочел бы i-CTDi, а не i-DTEC. Единственный недостаток i-CTDi - частые проблемы с DPF. Но для некоторых стран выпускался вариант i-CTDi без DPF. i-CTDi должен быть более надежным. Он даже был назван дизельным двигателем года. Это не значит, что i-DTEC плох.
Yeah, I know...A lot of people have families, like me..So it's not possible to throw away the back seat. Before I had a rooftop tent, I used to sleep in the car this way: ruclips.net/video/mB4zVzAf8fA/видео.html
On byl diesel 2.2 ictdi už i v 2 gen.. Ačkoliv diesel už nechci, musím říct, že 2.2 ictdi je velice dobrý a odolný motor. Vyhrál dokonce i ocenění diesel roku. Jinak jsem taky zastáncem staré dobré klasiky..
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 viem že boli aj tam diesle, tiež som skôr za benzín, je mi sympatickejší starý dizajn a novšia crv mi nepríjde vôbec pekná ani praktická ako staršia, a to nevravím a novej generacii, myslím že sa z toho stalo skôr mestské auto, a ako predošlé všestranne generácie ktoré zvládali celkom aj horší terén ako len polné cesty

Hi, I wish your car serves you well..And remember, older cars are definitely more fun than newer ones.
Great video, and 2 beautiful CR-V's. I've been recommending them for years, to anyone who might ask, "What's a good used car to buy." So I've test driven a few of them with those friends who were looking to buy one. Finally, a few months ago, decided I should get one. Held out for a Gen2 EX model, same color as yours (Silver Moss Metallic) with a 5 speed manual transmission (very rare in the US) and sunroof. Just purchased one a month ago. I've heard the AWD system isn't that great because the front wheels have to lose traction and spin (loss of control) before the different speed between the front and rear wheels, will cause the rear differential to power the rear wheels. And then as soon as the rear wheels are spinning as fast as the fronts, the rear wheels are disconnected again. So the car comes in and out of control and loss of control, as it repeatedly comes in and out of AWD mode. Having previously owned a '95 Audi A6 Quattro Avant that was all wheel drive, all the time, the Honda system sounds pretty poorly designed. It'll be interesting to take the car skiing and see how it does.
Thank you very much and I agree, the CRV is a really reliable car..It's not so bad with the AWD..it's also the case that when the front wheels can no longer turn and are locked up, the rear wheels are added to help. But for example Subaru's S-AWD doesn't compare. In the snow the CRV works very well..I have several videos of it in the snow on my channel.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 I found your snow driving videos after making my comment. Great to see the car(s) in the snow, getting stuck, and what the wheels were doing under both conditions (driving, and being stuck). I'm looking forward to getting to know mine better. Thank you for the excellent videos!

I have a 2nd gen facelift... I love the shape, the engine and the reliability! I love the off road capability but i believe the perfect match would be the 2nd gen exterior and 3rd gen interior....
Love them....
About consumption i have this kind 9l/100 klm only with my kids inside... Alone i drive more aggressively, so I have 10 litres per 100 klm
I like the older interior of the 2nd generation..It reminds me of the time when the best cars were made..I wouldn't change..😉
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 I won't change it myself, I have the full leather interior and the moon roof, full Extra car! The best SUV ever made! Just thinking to have an engine swap!!! K24 about 200 hp....
👍
Indeed, I too think that if there's the one modification to be made, it's the change of engine and gearbox from a honda accord gen7 / acura tsx, K24 MT6
😈
Hi , I wonder if the petrol engine is more reliable than the diesel one

Надёжнее.
tímhle videem jsi mi udělal velkou radost!!!Je to super heledám nějaké auto do terénu jako overlanding.Žádný těžký bahení teren a podobně :) Narazil jsem na Hondu CR-v a líbí se mi ta starší.Sice jsem si nevšiml žádné uzávěrky nebo locku nebo něčeho nejspíše má svůj systém :) Ale líbí se mi i pneu na kufru :) Rozmýšlím mezi Duster,Nissan Xtrail a honda CR-v gen 2!!! takže trošku dilema,ale děkuji za moc pěkné video kterým jsi mi auto více ukázal :)
To jsem rád 🙂 Mám tu s CRV hodně videí, tak koukni..Kopce, bláto, sníh, brodění..Všechno možné. Já bych šel do CRV, je z toho co jsi psal nejspolehlivější. U 2.0 ivtec řešíš jen běžný servis. Není to offroad, nemá uzávěrku, ani redukci, ale zvládne dost..Je to kompromis mezi silnicí a lehkým terénem..Offroad to ale fakt není..
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 líbí se mi i ze se dá sehnat za rozumné peníze ,kdežto xtrail t31 se pohybuje poměrně výše . A duster drží cenu ,ale tam zase kufr nic moc 🙃a mám to takový ty polnacky,louky,lesní cesty atd žádný neskutečný blato a podobně . Samozřejmě koukam i na úpravy jako zvýšení podvozku trosku větší kola atd … na internetu je takových expedičních úprav hodne a na tenhle 2.0 motor sama Chvála ,ale vážně všude 🙂
@@KingAngeal No a myslím, že kvalitou je Honda top..Taky vzhledově je 2gen CRV dokonalá..Z těch 3 aut, co si psal bych volil určitě CRV.. Nebudeš litovat.Jen si pořádně vyber pěkný kus.. Trpí na rez na podvozku, tak nechat nastříkat. Měnit správné oleje - motorový, převodový a v diferenciálu, občas nechat sestřelovat vůle ventilů a pak je to auto nesmrtelné..Trochu větší spotřeba, ale je to SUV..Zase řeším jen pravidelný servis a ne drahé opravy..
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 super ještě jednou moc děkuji za tipy a rady :)
@@KingAngealУ меня Honda CR-V2 2.2 дизель 6МКПП 2005 куплена и используется имою в Германии но останется в семье ето уже решено. Текущий пробег 300.000км 23.000км накатал я за год после ее покупки.
Масло меняю каждые 5-6000км. Масло Шелл 5w30 после 5000км в городском режиме начинает есть и до 5500км уровень масла с верхнего до нижнего опускается. Масло FUX 5w30 начинает терять свои свойства после 7000км и очень медленно опускается уровень но при етом нагар страшный на 7800км хоть уровень бил между верхним и серединой...
За год менял масло 4 раза. На прошлой неделе поменял масло в круг везде конечно не у официалов, моя Хондочка больше ни ногой к ним. 20.000км проехал и горя не знаю, ни разу не подвела т TUV прошла почти сразу (фари надо било регулировать и ручник).
Пережила она 4 ДТП. Два спереди до меня и я ее восстановил. И два сзади после того как купил ее но без ущерба для нее, фаркоп и запасное колесо объяснило легковушкам что 2.2тонний кросовер просто так не затаранить )
Расход по трассе минимально било 5.4 литра на 100км на скорости до 140км, по городу 6.7 остановился.
Максимальная скорость в ручном режиме 187км в час, а на круиз контроле 203км в час но при етом расход увеличивается почти до 11 литров.
Обично я езжу только на круиз контроле 100-133км в час.
Очень любимая, стильная, красивая, практичная, долговечная, неприхотливая, виносливая и економичная машина. В комфорте неплохая особенно ергономика сидений и руля как злелано то после нее на другие машины не пересесть ))) вот пластик обшивки/панели ето беда... Но планирую ето исправить.
Как доведу ее до ума то такую же дизельную куплю для своей девушки.
Nice video,very helpful when trying to buy CR-V.
Good job!
Love my Honda’s to the bits ❤
Обе машины хороши для определенного пользования, машина не для гонок, машинка для кайфа 👏👏👏🔥💯
Да, каждый из них немного отличается от другого. Мне нравятся оба.
Krásně se ti to povedlo 👍
Děkuju 🙂
Honda ❤❤❤❤
Veľmi pekné porovnanie, ale aj tak ma to viac ťahá k 2 generácii výborný motor keď sa človek o to stará 👍🙂.
Moc děkuju 🙂 Taky mě to více táhne ke 2 gen..Ale já mám raději všeobecně starší auta. Jinak motory měly 2 i 3 gen v podstatě stejné - ivtec a ictdi. Až facelift 3 gen měl jiný diesel..
Já jdu do 3. generace protože obavy z koroze u staršího auta, tím i tuhosti karoserie, jen ta hmotnost bude horší ale 2.2 to nějak přechroupe, ten motor znám, je příjemný a fanoušci evropských aut v něm slyší benzínový motor 😁 jediný co se mi nelíbí je střešní okno, z něj mám strach až za ušima...
This is THE video I've been waiting for, and youtube didn't offer it to me... ! 😠🤯
Same as all of you, I prefer gen2 Even if some equipment that was already missing back then is missing even more today!!!!
M
Otherwise I see that there is the VSA, while for the UK, France, and Benelux it was reserved for the Executive high finish (or EX depending on the country), which is not the case here (no sunroof, no leather,...) Strange that it changes so much in Europe. Your crv is built at swindon in the UK (VIN starts with SHS)?
Yes, it starts at SHS...
Honda has therefore chosen to manufacture a different crv for each region of Europe.
I'd be curious to see a catalog brochure of this crv in your country.
One thing's for sure: we Europeans didn't get the best crv!!
Fantastic elaborated
"hi5 namaste" nice video buddy:-*
Thank you..👍🏻
Nice capture
Thank you very much. Here's the latest video: ruclips.net/video/Gvn7UadUgtY/видео.html If you want to watch.
Honda cr-v 2❤
great video!
So if you had to choose a car for the next ~5years - which one would you choose? Im not a handy guy fixing cars myself, so reliability for me is number one. I would use the car as a daily with weekend trips to nature. Thank you for advice
I've had four CRVs. In the end, I chose the 2 gen i-VTEC. It does get a bit more gas mileage, but it is totally reliable! As long as it comes from a careful owner.. it also depends what the car will be used for..the diesel is more for longer routes..the 3 gen is more modern and more suitable for the road. The 2 gen has a bit of a retro interior but I like it. It also has a higher ground clearance, so it's more suited for light off-road. Its edgy design and the wheel on is absolutely awesome.
Second gen 2.4L i-Vtec kicks ass...
I believe... I've never driven a 2.4.
Is the diesel 2.2 on the 3rd generation as reliable as the 2.0 VTEC?
From my point of view, the 2.2 ictdi 103kw is one of the best diesel engines ever made.It was later replaced by the 2.2 idtec 110kw engine in the 3 gen facelift. I would have preferred the ictdi 103kw. Without the DPF, that was not well sorted! But a diesel turbo engine will always be more complicated than an atmospheric petrol engine..With the ivtec you just change the oil and adjust the valve clearances and the engine is immortal. You have to realise what you want the car for..Diesel is not suitable for frequent short journeys and frequent starts. It's more suited for longer distances.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Thank you for such an in-depth answer. 😎 I think I will go for the VTEC because, as you said, it will be better for the mostly shorter journeys I do, and the N/A petrol is so much less complicated (and cheaper to maintain/look after), even if the fuel consumption is much higher then the diesel. Thanks again, and I really enjoyed your video too 👍👍
@@RealWorldCarReviews I-vtec is a good choice..Glad you liked the video. Have a nice day..
For me the 2nd gen is way more honda then the 3rd
Yes, it's like that with all car brands... they all start to look the same and the originality fades..the CRV gen 2 is a design gem.. just like the gen 1. Same with the Toyota Rav4.
2nd Gen best. 3d gen had a small design flaw in the engine which resulted in that you had to change some gear but still a good engine regardless
As far as I know, the 2nd and 3rd generations had identical engines... The petrol ivtec 2.0 and 2.4 and the diesel 2.2 ictdi... Only the facelift version of the 3rd generation had a different diesel engine, the 2.2 idtec... The only design flaw I can think of with the 3rd gen 2.2 ictdi is that on the DPF models, the filter was placed far away from the engine and there was no perfect filter regeneration.
Hola amigo buenas noches, reciba un cordial saludo desde Colombia, felitaciones por su completo video, muy completo y la comparativa de las generaciones excelentes, estoy muy interesado en el Honda Cr-v modelos 2008 al 2012 mecánica, que confiada es la transmisión automática? Gracias por su oportuna respuesta, seré un atento seguidor de su Canal.
Hola amigo, saludos para ti desde la República Checa, debo afirmar que el Honda CR-V es una buena elección... ya he tenido 4 y nunca he tenido que lidiar con ninguna avería grave. En cuanto a la transmisión automática del CR-V, es muy fiable. Eso sí, no te olvides de cambiar a tiempo los líquidos de funcionamiento y los filtros. Utiliza siempre aceite original Honda en el diferencial trasero, de lo contrario no funcionará correctamente. ¡Te deseo mucha suerte y que tu Honda CR-V se haga realidad pronto!
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Gracias por su respuesta, muy oportuno, sigo disfrutando de sus experiencias videos.
Buenos días desde Colombia, que buen video, me pueden ayudar si alguno le a pasado con este vehículo, de un momento a otro empezó a zonar el disco trasero izquierdo y quedo frenada la rueda, se gasto toda la pastilla trasera izquierda.

excellent videos!
Thank you!
Chcem sa opýtať ohľadom crv 2.gen ako jazdí, nenakláňa sa moc v zákrutách? Zadný rad sedadiel sa dá úplne vymontovať, nejakým jednoduchým spôsobom? Nehrdzavie - karoséria, podvozok? Má to nejaké typické chyby, počul som trebárs že často sa kazí kompresor klímy, alternátor apod. Ďakujem.
Ahoj, CRV je určitě auto pro klidného řidiče. Já s ním zatáčky nevymetám..No ale určitě se v zatáčkách nenaklání, jízda je v něm pohodlná..I když je třeba brát v úvahu vyšší světlou výšku auta. Celkově je podvozek o něco tvrdší, než třeba u 3 gen..Ale to je fajn v terénu, protože máš lepší odezvu po čem jedeš. Zadní část sedadel jde bohužel vyjmout jen klasickým způsobem. Je přišroubovaná, žádné rychloupínáky atd..Co se týče rzi, tak klasika jako u všech Japonců..Je třeba před koupí zkontrolovat podvozek..Trochu na to trpí, ale žádná tragédie. Možno nechat preventivně ošetřit spolu s dutinami a místy schovanými pod plasty. Měl jsem kus z Itálie a ta měla podvozek jako nový. Jinak CRV nijak zvlášť nerezne. A teď k poruchovosti: Měl jsem již 4 CRV (1x 3gen diesel a 3x 2 gen benzín) Jediné, co jsem řešil byl DPF filtr u té naftové..Jinak s CRV pokud to má svůj servis, tak člověk skoro nic neřeší..A když už, tak vždy dávat originální díly.. Hlavně originální Honda olej do diferenciálu..
Jinak právě tvořím video CRV vs. Rav4. Tak tam bude taky něco k vidění.. Bude tak za měsíc, záleží na počasí, které mi teď moc nepřeje.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Ďakujem za info, ten zrovnávací test si rád pozriem, práve rozmýšľam nad kúpou CRV 2.gen I-CTDI vs RAV4 2011 2.0 benzín. Ktorý by si mi doporučil?
Viac sa mi páči CRV II (CRV III asi nie už aj kvôli DPF), no v bazári je táto generácia už pochopiteľne s väčším nájazdom min. 200-250000km. Neviem koľko vydržia napr. vstrekovače alebo rozvodová reťaz.
@@pike1861 Ahoj, obě auta jsou výborná...Záleží, co ti vyhovuje. Rav4 když je to čtyřkolka, tak má trvalý pohon 4x4. CRV je zase prostornější, trochu pohodlnější a má větší místo na zadních sedačkách a v kufru.. CRV je více rodinné, Rav4 mi přijde o něco lepší v terénu (existuje i verze s uzávěrkou diferenciálu)
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Koľko km majú najazdené CRV II?
CRV III i-ctdi - motoricky je spoľahlivý, trebalo niečo meniť (vstrekovače, zotrvačník, pal.čerpadlo, žhaviče, alternátor... )? Díky.
Very good
Hondą CRV II ❤
Ahoj prosimte jak si stojí u gen 3 motor 2.2 103 nebo 110kw ??? Já jen ze zavádět o benzinovou 2.0 gen 2 je fakt kumst . Už jsem byl na 5 vozech a teda nic moc 😔a byly to 2004 roky a 2 byly 2005 . Takže musím trosku rozšířit pole hledání
Ahoj, motor 2.2 ictdi je výborný..Jen se vyhni verzi s DPF (dovoz z Německa, CZ byly bez DPF..) To je tam špatně řešeno. Občas trochu píská turbo, ale 2 roky mi jen pískalo a vše ok. Ten motor sám o sobě je jeden z nejlepších dieselů vůbec. Taky svezení je o dost živější než benzín.
A taky dej bacha, aby DPF nebylo jen vykuchané a neměl si s tím pak problémy na STK atd..
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 dobře děkuji takže bez dpf . A u gen 2 2.2 je to samé nebo ne ??
Protože dieselových gen 2 v dieselu je fakt hodně
@@KingAngeal 2 gen měla jen jeden typ dieselu..2.2 ictdi (103kW) Ten stejný se pak dával i do 3 gen. Až facelift 3 gen měla jiný diesel 2.2 idtec (110kW). 2.2 ictdi 103 kW je podle mě spolehlivější. Každopádně bez DPF.
Which is better offroad, not just the ground clearqnce but the traction control behaviour as well?
Hi, the gen 2 and gen 3 both have exactly the same all wheel drive (RT AWD). The gen 2 has the better ground clearance. I felt better off-road in the gen 2. But it must be said that the CR-V is only suitable for lighter terrain. It has no differential lock, no reduction gearbox and no solid axles either.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 thankyou, response understand. At this stage a Subaru or even a VW Tiguan looks like a stronger offroader. I already have a solid axled 4x4 but some ability would be good.
@mechtechau Yes, the VW 4motion has permanent all-wheel drive and the Subaru has Symmetrical AWD, which is unmatched in the family SUV category.The Subaru Forester also has a reduction gearbox (manual only). But on the other hand, these are not off-road vehicles..and for regular lighter terrain, the CRV is fine too. Another thing is that in terms of reliability, Honda CR-V gen 2 and 3 has no competition.

@@OutOfTheWay4x4 Forester did well! A old G wagon is a tough act to follow.

2nd gen is the best one, last generation to be made in Japan.
I had all my CRVs made in the UK 🙂
Second and third generation models sold in the European market were made in Swindon UK
Very nice video!!+💯💪i want buy 2gen but 2.2 diesel 150hp how is?
Thanks a lot...2.2 ictdi is very reliable.. This engine is a great choice in 2gen CRV..
A Crv equipped for E85 bioethanol is also a choice worth considering.
Agreed. Very reliable. I bought my 2006 diesel in 2017, with 160,000 miles. It now has 230k miles.
Unbreakable and unstoppable. The man who sold it to me said there were a few years left in it yet. Yes, yes there were 😂
Let me temper this remark. Sure, it's reliable, but maybe not as reliable as the Toyotas and Mazdas I see at my mechanic friend and around.
And I'll even go so far as to add that my father's lada niva, at 240k km (and 10 years older), is in just as good condition as my crv.
But my crv is out of the competition 😅, it has all the known faults of this generation.
Which one is petrol and which one is diesel?
The 2nd generation is petrol, the 3rd generation is diesel...It's described and shown in the video.
@@OutOfTheWay4x4 sorry, i saw the whoke video but did not realize of that. Thanks. I'm between buying a 2004 manual or a 2011 atm. The 2004 has 260k km and de 2011 has 141k. The 2004 looks "damaged" and the 2011 looks like new. Both are petrol and runs very well. Hard choice.
@@walterascarrunz5874 Cool 😉 Well I would recommend taking someone who understands...Look at the engine and chassis...If the car was not crashed etc..For fluid leaks - oil, brake fluid. Otherwise I would take the better one..👍 Both generations are excellent...

5:50 на рестайлинге (2009-2012) идет дизель i-DTEC. Он лучше и немного мощнее.
Лично я предпочел бы i-CTDi, а не i-DTEC. Единственный недостаток i-CTDi - частые проблемы с DPF. Но для некоторых стран выпускался вариант i-CTDi без DPF. i-CTDi должен быть более надежным. Он даже был назван дизельным двигателем года. Это не значит, что i-DTEC плох.

@@OutOfTheWay4x4 viem že boli aj tam diesle, tiež som skôr za benzín, je mi sympatickejší starý dizajn a novšia crv mi nepríjde vôbec pekná ani praktická ako staršia, a to nevravím a novej generacii, myslím že sa z toho stalo skôr mestské auto, a ako predošlé všestranne generácie ktoré zvládali celkom aj horší terén ako len polné cesty
