CROSSOVER HONDA MANUAL
Now, we love its available manual transmission (mine was an automatic, but I owned it at the same time a friend of mine had a Manual AWD car), smooth B-series DOHC engine, and Pixar-car-esque huge glass area and great sightlines, but the AWD system is kind of, uh, maybe mid. Still, my inexperienced, incompetent fucking-over-of what was at one point a nice crossover, my opinion still stands. A less-seasoned 21-year-old me purchased one with a busted transmission and spent three months replacing it myself, only to realize I had aligned everything wrong, leaving me with a terrible, terrible driveline vibration that caused me to pull the propeller shaft, cut my losses, and sell it as a FWD CR-V. My 2001 Honda CR-V was a crapwagon, likely of my own doing.
CROSSOVER HONDA HOW TO
I’ve owned three Civics, one of which I’ve lost money on, and currently I’m pretending that I didn’t buy a 2011 Honda CR-Z last year that I haven’t figured out how to start. See, maybe I am biased for some reason over my nearly 50-car tenure, I have had the weirdest bad luck with Honda products. But, if you’re looking for a real go-to AWD system, one reigns superior-and it’s not the Honda. Now, as a guy who has owned (and lost money on) a 2001 Honda CR-V EX, and driven plenty of RAV4s, they’re both fine little crossovers. So much so, that basically, the entire Autopian crew is seemingly perusing the online classifieds in search of first-generation Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s. If I thought with logic, I probably wouldn’t have purchased nearly 50 cars over the years, of varying conditions with nearly no real significant value to anyone who isn’t that strange combination of weird and boring.Īnyways, as controversial as crossovers can be with some enthusiasts, the extra ground clearance and available AWD are really handy for pile-driving through snow drifts and just being above all the road slush nonsense. No! Or yes, I don’t care, it’s your money, and you ain’t asked me to pay for it, so knock yourself out. It’s been snowmageddon lately for basically anyone east of Des Moines, and the snow built up on the roads and your local municipality’s horrible inaction to plow the streets may have you wondering “Should I eschew my sensible hatchback for a beater old-school crossover with all-wheel-drive?”
