Nothing wrong with that at all. I see one of those in my future honestly.Quote:

I'm thinking of ordering one as well. Where did you guys purchase your CRV? Who did you deal with? Did they beat the "unhaggle.com" price and throw in some free accessories? I'm considering the LX model. I'd be curious to hear what you guys paid if you're willing to share

We got the LX with CVT. My wife loves it. We had a Fit and figured the payment are pretty much the same so went with more power and the aggressive look.
The CRV do look quite nice. And the Odyssey. But we shall stay on topic :-)
Congrats, the new CRV's are pretty awesome. It would be my SUV of choice in that segment right now for sure.

Just go to Okotoks. Don't waste your time in the city, last two Honda's I've bought nobody could touch their price, even Airdrie was a lot more. PM me if you want a contact there who I have dealt with several times.Quote:

Averaged 8.1 L/100KM over the 2200 km we put on, and I was *not* easy on it. :D
My wife came from the same vehicle, V6 rav4. That is the biggest thing I noticed, but overall I thought it was a great deal for what you get, and it was hard to pass up. We also looked at an HRV, and she liked the size, but I barely fit in it, and it was really cheap inside, given the jump to the EX-L CRV ended up being less than 5k, it was a no brainer.Quote:

Agreed. Terrible rear end.Quote:

Nice! I should have mine this week. I can't wait!!!Quote:

I like the CRV as well, but for me the seat bottom was a bit short and lacked thigh support. I can see why they are everywhere though. Excellent value in its class.
I like the CRV back end actually. At first I didn't like the Civic's back end and now both my wife and I love it. Don't have $$$$$ like 4doorj to have 3+ cars though. Otherwise we would get an CRV.
The accords are getting totally redone for '18. No more V6, 1.5T and 2.0T powerplants.Quote:

There's what seems like a full second lag at times. The RAV just goes. lolQuote:

If I remember correctly, the inline 4 of the same generation of Rav4 had a 4-speed transmission while the V6 a 5-speed transmission. The rate fuel economy differ by about 1.x L/100km between the two models. Compare to the newer vehicles, the fuel economy is probably not that good by todays' standards.Quote:
