As a former Honda owner, two
As a former Honda owner, two cars, when I walked away I had no regrets. Since Honda started feeling the Korean and Big 3 pressure, its best response has been to lower QC and cut corners.
What is mind boggling is that people pay 30-40,000$ for a CRV and not even consider a CPO barely used BMW X or Audi Q series. Or a Swedish model. They are TANKS! Over engineered, never rusty, reliable and world class performers. Not to mention, evolution has pushed them on par or even better reliability that the japanes. In Europe, the 1 hr J.D. Survey rightfully places European brands on top of the Japanese- they are subsidized by neither.
I feel the pain for people to pay BMW AUDI or even Mercedes prices for a non-stop nagging headache.
Yet- Honda has a LOONG history of vibrations: chassis, windows, frame rattling, from Civic all the way to the CRV... Forums described these QC issues going back to 2000-2004.
As a former Honda owner, (one whose brother just bought a vibrating CRV), do yourself a favor- try German then compare.
