Review of the car owner Honda CR-V 2005 Honda has found a new owner, which means it's time to share the details of our life together :). A little history: my first Japanese was a right-hand drive Toyota Corolla 2000, after in 2005 I changed the Vazovskaya 10-ku for this miracle of the Japanese industry, went to Novosibirsk and drove it under its own power, then after 1.5t.km even from - I didn't want to get behind the wheel, the car seemed so comfortable and responsive, but the automatic transmission opened the door to the world of comfort. In a word, when the family began to grow and it was time to change the car, the eyes again fell on the Japanese. 2008, the time was not calm, the government pressed the right wheel more and more (he himself even personally participated in 2 protest actions), the economy is still on the rise and therefore began to look closely at the left-hand drive. Domestic assembly has not yet been established, the secondary market is full of not entirely honest speculators and therefore turned to American auctions for a choice.  Archive: Honda CR-V 2005 Silver Beautiful auction lists create the illusion of honesty, convenient selection of cars by parameters, the Carfax service gives out all the ins and outs of the car, it's decided! we work in the USA. in Chelyabinsk, a dealer was found who, for a fraction of a little, is ready to take on this responsibility, plus provides a guarantee for internal combustion engines and automatic transmissions when servicing in his service. Comfortable. After a short wash, the choice fell on the Honda CR-V, for America they came with a 2.4L engine (as opposed to 2.0L in Europe), 5-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, spacious interior, huge trunk, no tunnel at the feet of passengers, you can walk between the front seats, the automatic transmission lever under the steering wheel is just a great option for a family car (the youngest daughter was only 1 year old then, so on long trips there was a pot between the rows of seats, the whole process proceeded non-stop and did not bother anyone :)))). The trades were not very long, for a couple of weeks of picking and betting they took a three-year golden CR-V 2005, 85,000 km, restyling, a bright interior added space, and unpainted black bumpers proved their practicality more than once. It should be noted that the dollar at that time cost about 23 rubles, and therefore the auction price of 14 thousand dollars plus the same for customs, delivery and so on came out very acceptable and competitive to the domestic market (about 650 thousand in rubles). True, on New Year's Eve 2008-09, all export deals on cars sharply turned into pumpkins, but this is a completely different story, we managed to do it! The deed is done, about a month of nerves and observation of the container sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, and now the car is already rushing from St. Petersburg to Chelyabinsk. With a sinking heart, I came to pick it up, but everything turned out to be fair, paint chips were strictly according to the auction list, and the replacement of all technical fluids and dry cleaning of the cabin finally eliminated traces from the North American owners. A crossover has appeared in our family! For 8 years of ownership and 160 thousand km of run, I have never failed. From the first days I ate 92 gasoline, it did not work on the highway below 10l / 100km (the gas pedal worked, the air conditioner did not save as needed), in the city up to 14l depending on the season and style. The first couple of years it was serviced in the dealer's service, there were no warranty cases, then moved closer to home. THEN every 10 thousand, liquids and consumables, if possible, original, quality service. Somehow I tried to keep statistics, I approximately reached the figure for the cost of maintenance of 1 rubkm, but I will not argue, the car did not require unscheduled repairs, and therefore no claims were made to it. Of more or less serious interventions, I can only recall the replacement of the front shock absorbers after 120t.km, jambs with the installation of a fuel filter (with crooked hands they could not put the sealing gum in place, the computer swore at the leakage of the tank), in two hundred thousand it was necessary to make changes to the design rear levers to get rid of the wheels "house" and the most serious breakdown, after which I had to drag the car on a "tie", is the replacement of starter brushes (it turned out that the secondary market is full of offers a https://jiji.co.tz/ilala/cars/honda-cr-v-2005-silver-kBFJ5XyRpYWoBXzouHLo5xgY.html
