Did Honda fix the 1.5T oil issue?

Apparently they have, but I will be keeping an eye on it regardless.  Plus we likely won't keep it past the 7 year warranty anyway, so I think we should be fine.

Very nice :thumbup:  My neighbour has one of these and I've had a couple of short rides in it and can see why they are very popular. Enjoy!

You know it's really shocking how many of these and the Rav4 are on the road.  It's like the 90's with the Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry.

I'm sure we would rather see more some wagons being made but these do make a lot of sense for most people. Sized between a Civic and Accord and huge functionality thanks to an almost boxy shape.

I wish my wife liked wagons or even just regular sedans, but no she has to have a CUV.  Told her that V6's were done after the Santa Fe, so she has been resigned to a "compact" 4 cylinder CUV market.  Couldn't even get her to try the Mazda's, which I felt were the best overall (even though we both have been rather disappointed with every Mazda we have driven).  They are practical, comfy, and great visibility for winter time and the snow banks.  But damn are they ever boring and so freaking common.

These CUVS are wagons... and yes CRVs and Rav4s seem to be 50% of the market (black or white) , F150s 25% and everything else 25%. It is the Costco wholesale of the car market now.

Yours is a lot less boring with that smooth V6 you got.

Yeah buddy I agree with you that it is a boring car, but not ugly. The looks Of Honda CR-V Are very clean and somewhat futuristic. Would love to own in this Gas Prices.
