2ND GEN vs. 3RD GEN (Honda Crv)

[@ashelle4938]

Another great video 😊

[@Jdmforall]

Thanks Ash!

[@swiperightshow]

No way am I only one that thinks the 3rd gen is really ugly and looks like a mom mom car compared to gen 2

[@ourspiritualascension]

You are certainly not the only person who thinks that.

[@chrisbarron379]

True it's probably due to the more boxy build of the 2nd gen, 3rd gen is more rounded out probably helping with aerodynamics. 2nd gen is better looking imo

1st and 2nd generation of Honda CRVs were iconic. They resembled a Jeep like vehicle with the tire in back, trunk opening like a door, and shifter by steering wheel. They ruined this look 3rd generation and onward and this vehicle longer looks any different than many other SUVs.

1st & 2nd gen look awesome 3rd gen looks like a robot face with the bottom half melted off

[@emiliojavier8268]

​@@stevejeffrey112nd gen simply look old for the 21 century, the 3rd generation looks way more modern and accord to the time it was released

[@SuperMrFriendly]

@@emiliojavier8268 lots shit looks modern. lots cool stuff looks old

4:15 reason for shifting grill to the top part of bumper in gen 3 is to reduce the damage to radiator fins from harsh hits of debris.

I have a 2004 LX (2 wheel drive). I am one of the few that is not a fan of lifting. I want my car as stable as possible and I am not an off road guy. I LOVE all the heavy black trim for both extra protection from other drivers and it gives the car a more rugged look as opposed to the more “civilized “ 3d gen look. Also, having just restored all the black trim it is FAR, FAR easier to restore the BLACK Trim than to Touch-Up Paint with those little brush paint kits. Or your other option for nicked paint is to spray an entire section.

What are you actually comparing in the video? I also happen have two eyes and can look and see both generations are physically different vehicles.

[@laurenzdeganos9875]

Remember when Honda refreshed the 3rd gen CR-V for the 2010-2011 year it reminded me of the 2nd Gen 2002-2004 pre-refresh from the front grille and wheels. Btw, your wife’s trim is also an EX. 🙂

[@32srt32]

do you consider them the same in reliability? mpg and clearance height?

[@1966johnnywayne]

Ok...but people buy Honda's for what you don't see. How about doing a performance/reliability and what has changed with the mechanicals video.

[@spirospaolinelis838]

Mechanical Differences ?

[@applepoop10]

160 HP for the 2nd gen and 166 HP for the 3rd gen. Also the 3rd gen ditched the old 4 speed auto and cable operated throttle body for the newer 5 speed auto and electronic operated throttle body.

[@civicdev]

Didn't know you had a 97 crv. I have a 99. My wife's 2005 lost a rear reflector. 2005-2006 is different than 02-04 thinner and way over engineered. They're almost $80 each at Honda, luckily I found one at the junkyard.

[@Jdmforall]

Yeah I had a 1st gen for 8 years. I'd like to get another one some day.

[@MartinSage]

That’s what I always do. Once I had Toyota Camry that had blown 1”x1” micro fuel relay. Dealer wanted $150. Got one in the junk yard for $3👌

[@hybrede]

Hello there! You should use Autoglym Bumper and Trim gel, best product ever to restore and make uncoated plastic bumpers/mud flaps look like new on your CRV. Smells really good too.... apply with any foam pad or packaging foam. Easy and excellent results on my CRV. Relatively inexpensive product from amazon or car shops.

[@reneorantes-cruz6916]

Thanks for keepin crv alive

[@andraherisandra2994]

Which one do you think the car body is bigger, dude? I'm still confused because I want to buy it

[@Jdmforall]

The 3rd Gen Crv is a little bigger. But not by much.

[@traveladdict4884]

Which is more roomy for sleeping in? The 2nd gen seems bigger to me as it's more boxed

[@johno1977]

Load of waffle. What about the serious differences? Who cares about the trim differences?

[@FirmanMontesekadau]

good review

[@timzzz9963]

I have a 2011 ex 4wd. I love the car and the reliability but I'm disappointed by the 4wd system. I wish I could lock it on and I wish all 4 tires would spin instead of 1 up front and one in the rear.

Hey man. I really appreciate the videos but I am having problem with my 2003 CRV AC that I would love to ask questions. Anyway I can reach you directly to run it by you? Keep up the great videos!!!

Thanks! Instagram: _jdmforall_

[@civicdev]

I don't think about going offroad when I see the 3rd gen CR-V. Your videos do make me want to lift my wife's 2nd gen. Waiting for the AT tires to see if you like them better. I'd lift my 99 but the trannys are weak.

[@Jdmforall]

My crv did ride better with the all terrains. Yeah my brothers 1st gen crv was lifted and the trans did go out within the first year.

[@civicdev]

@@Jdmforall LOL🤣👍🔰

[@VJ592]

​@@Jdmforallhi is it worth it to lift the 3rd gen
