This weekend the truckster needed an unscheduled service stop. Because I picked up a nail in one of the tires. $77 at the local mom and pop repair shop near the new house and I’m good to go with a patch. At least found a seemingly solid auto repair place. They’re unlikely to fuck up an oil change.
Lifetime MPG is 39.2.
I gotta put a hitch on it for a bike rack. And maybe get it detailed because the dog hair is everywhere. It’s a good appliance overall. The newer one seems like it fixes many of the issues I have with it aside from how slow it is.

Accords are boats anymore. CRV uses the same motor as the accord hybrid though. So it’s a lot slower. It has no balls.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:57 pmMy cousins mom, for the first time wants to go get a new crv hybrid touring.....after her 4th accord dating all the way back to 1988 flip up lights gen.

She only drives 2 miles from and to work back to back, and barely drives otherwise.
Well my cousin haha. Involving parents son and daughter around the same age as me.
And yeah she wanted to be high up, lot of "compact" cuv's are big now

What about an EV? With a short commute like that the hybrid won’t have a benefit.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 1:00 pmShe only drives 2 miles from and to work back to back, and barely drives otherwise.

I have told them that. But they wanted to rather go for the hybrid. But definitely better than her accord as its just a 2.4 4 bangerJohnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 5:06 pmWhat about an EV?

On a 2 mile drive the CRV hybrid will get 20-25 mpg. Because Honda can’t figure out a reasonable warm up protocol for the motor. When the motor is warming up at every key cycle, it will run the engine without generating electricity for about a minute or two. It’s just wasted fuel to warm the motor and oil. It will do this every time the key is turned on regardless if it’s just been driven or not. A normal car will idle high for a few seconds but it can be driven immediately and generate useful power from the fuel it’s burning. The honda hybrids cannot generate power while warming up.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 6:01 pmI have told them that. But they wanted to rather go for the hybrid.

It will do worse in the winter because unlike Toyotas there is no heat pump, and the only heat comes from running the motor.
These only make sense if you have a mid length commute, lots of town roads to travel with stop/go, or slower highway speeds.

Got a recall notice on the 12v battery cable so brought the CRV to the dealer to get that done.
They hit my wife with the “your cabin air filter is dirty af we can replace it for $170” as well as another $700 of fuel treatments and snake oil. Thankfully she declined it.
So I can’t trust the dealer. But otherwise it’s an alright car.
Pluses
Drives good
Comfy suspension but holds its own on a winding road, no float
Holds a lot of shit
Gas mileage is 37 average ish
Has needed nearly nothing in 2.5 years
Cons
It’s really slow and slow to respond to throttle unless in sport mode
Gas mileage could be better, rav4 hybrid is about 5 mpg better than it
Stereo sound is ok but needs a better equalizer
Infotainment is trash
I’d get it again I think. The new model fixes some of this but cost cuts on other things.
Got the OK to consider a second vehicle when the little girl pops out. So a daddy car might be in the cards in a few months.

Truckster update
Lisa rammed it into a curb in the school pick up line. Wheel is pretty trashed (scratched and gouged badly). If we care it will need to be replaced. I don’t know if we care.
Got hit by a rock due to penndot’s glorious repaving efforts and it spidered pretty bad. I might just call safelite or someone similar to goop it.
The dealership parts changers reset the infotainment last time it was in for the recall and mpg average is now only 35. So that’s a bummer.
Still an ok car I guess. Took it to the poconos with the baby and it really is a road trip champ. And I love the CUV form. Come at me. I’m more comfy in it than any sedan.
