Get Onboard the Honda CRV and Explore Your Dream SUV
by Brian Hanson
Honda has always been known for its ability to offer cars suiting every budget and lifestyle. The various offerings made by Honda range from compact cars to sophisticated SUV’s, making it one of the most appealing brands. Honda CRV forms an important offering of Honda in the SUV segment. If you are looking for a luxurious, silky, safe as well as a fun machine, Honda CRV engines (www. gotengines.com/used-engines.html)deserves all your consideration. Honda CRV Features The latest CRV comes with an improved suspension geometry which allows responsive handling. The engine has a four-cylinder construction employing variable timing intake valves for optimizing torque and horsepower for cruising speeds and acceleration. This is paired with an automatic five-speed transmission system. The cylinder volume for all the three variants is 2.4L producing a power of 166HP. It reaches from 0 to 60 mph in 9.2 seconds The room available for the front as well as the back seat, and also the cargo, is logically arrayed and properly placed. The seats can totally fold down allowing for a cargo area which is completely flat. The steering is two-way adjustable and the seats are six-way adjustable which provides for a proper posture and good outward visibility. The CRV has a jutting front bumper which is responsible for its reduced visual mass and perceived height. Other notable changes include the flared-back headlights, with the flares stretching out and wrapping the tires, and an opened grille. CRV comes in the following colors: Premium white pearl, Nighthawk black pearl, Green tea metallic, new red pearl, and Whistler silver metallic. The Stability Assist equipment for the car includes the disc-brakes, EBD, ABS and VSA for helping in emergency maneuvers. CRV has been rated 5-star for its safety features and it has scored superlatively in crash tests. There are certain Honda CRV Features which greatly increases its fun quotient. These include a 6-CD changer, power moon-roof, satellite radio (only in EX-L model), heated seats and leather interior. Honda CRV Models The all new CRV comes in three models: basic LX, the mid-range EX, and leather-upholstered EX-L, where you can opt for a navigational system which allows the incorporation of a rearview camera for easy and safe backing. The EX-L model also has a dual-zone climate control and a driver’s seat which can be powered eight-way. All the Honda CRV Models allow for an all-wheel drive control. The fuel economy for city conditions for all these models is around 20 mpg which reaches to 27 mpg in highway conditions. The cost of owning CRV ranges from $20,700 to $28,400, depending upon the model. So, if you want a car which has decent mileage, all-weather capability and reliability, the four-door, five-passenger Honda CRV would be worth all your imagination and money.

Repairing Your Hybrid Car   : New honda CRV 2009

by Thomas Jones

 

You look around while your stopped at a traffic light and realize that your surrounded by hybrids. Then it hits you that hybrids really are the new wave of the coming future. Hybrids offer many features that the conventional car does not have. But no matter how advances hybrids are they are still expensive to purchase and repair, just like any other car. Some repairs and problems with a hybrid need to be done by a hybrid certified mechanic. Before you make the leap and buy a new hybrid you might want to take a look at two of the major repairs you might have to deal with after you make your purchase.Engine and Motor Repairs 

Just like conventional cars hybrids also have a gasoline only internal combustion engine. During the life of your car there will probably be a point where your car will leak oil and will then be in need of repair. You might have a point where your hybrid’s motor will not babel to turn over or the connective system that runs your wiring could become loose and will need to be repairs. Because unlike the conventional car hybrids have both an electric motor and a gasoline engine the make up that lies under the hood of a hybrid is quite different from a conventional car. While a hybrid is great in so many ways a regular mechanic might not be qualified or have the ability to service your hybrids engine or motor.

The Battery Pack

If your used to driving a conventional car you know that they run on a lead acid battery. When it dies you can usually replace it easily yourself. You just have to purchase on at the local auto part store, purchase a new battery and replace it in only a few hours. Sometimes conventional car battery issues can even be solved by simply giving it a jump start. Hybrids on the other hand are not so simple to fix. The ability to hook your car up to another vehicle to get a jump is not an option for a hybrid. The hybrid does not come equipt with a place to hook the cars together and if you try to do so you will more than likely end up ruining both cars, permanently.

If the battery pack in a hybrid fails you only have two options to fix it. Both of these options involve a specially trained mechanic. You might only have one cell inside the hybrid battery pack that is malfunctioning or it could be the whole battery pack that is malfunctioning. If it is only one cell in your battery pack that will only cost you about $180. If it is the entire battery pack your look at a cost of about $4,000 or even more. It depends on the type of hybrid you own. It takes time for mechanics to become trained for all the new parts of technology that are coming into our world. Over the years things will change and there will be more mechanics available to hybrid cars. But for now the pool is quite limited.
