The CRV Hybrid is more reliable than the gas CRV. The gas CRV uses the tiny 1.5 turbo 4 cylinder that has had lots of issues, the CRV hybrid uses a naturally aspirated 2.0 4 cylinder that is much more reliable. Honda has been making hybrids for years, nearly as long as Toyota and are considered just as reliable. The new consumer reports quality rankings just came out and these are the top 5 in order, 1. Subaru 2. Lexus 3. Toyota, and 4. Honda. 5. Acura

[@Delivrd]

Consumer Reports is a video I am going to be making in the future. Long story short, Something fishy going on over there.

[@fibonaccisequence2891]

New 2.0 is gdi, beware of high pressure fuel pump leak, old 2.0 k-series that is in HRV is bullet proof.

Untill that hybrid system crashes then good luck

Just purchased a '25 Pilot EX-L, AWD at 11.1% off MSRP, w/no dealer-adds for a $45k OTD. This was about $2,750 less than the dealer's original OTD quote. I was in and out in about an hour. Appreciate the timeliness of this video as it helped me know that there was still some wiggle room, despite them saying otherwise during the first round of negotiations. Note, I did not shop dealers as the one I purchased from was close enough to my house and the OTD was more than agreeable + 2.9% financing and their year-end push to move cars. Thanks again for this video!

[@SugaSams-x7l]

Great,Which model and which location

[@marckimbrell4645]

That does not sound like a good deal to me the '25 EX-L, AWD I looked at today had an MSRP of $38,305 take 10% off of that and it would be about $34,475 add tax (.05 for me) reg. and doc fee the OTD price would about $37,197. I would say you got screwed but did not get kissed

[@GeneralTaffizi]

I'm in Eastern Canada and after visiting half a dozen dealerships, I concluded that it is impossible to ask for more than MSRP + tax + fees and snow wheels (about 1500 CAD). Any Canadians in the comments have the same experience? *Edit: Car i'm shopping for is a Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring Sedan

[@SsolteszZ]

I'm also in Eastern Canada and yea, same experience. I had to back out of a deal after waiting a year for a Type S because they wouldn't remove the 3k worth of dealer add ons. I also backed out of buying an Si because they wanted to charge me for the wheel locks that the car *comes with* and some BS VIN etching.

[@TheLifetraveler1]

I have a Honda Accord hybrid, it is one of the best cars I've ever had. It now has 98,000 mi on it. The last time I went to a dealer for oil change. They said there was nothing to recommend the car was just in excellent condition.

[@terrywhite6269]

A 2014 Accord Hybid owner here. This car is the best Honda I've ever owned, and I've owned many. I get 42 MPG with no expensive repairs. It would take a lot for me to even consider another car.

[@genet6255]

@@terrywhite6269 My previous 1999 Accord was with me more than 17 years. It surpassed more than 307,000 miles, before I sold it and replaced it with a brand new Toyota Camry Solara, which was with me for more than 12 years, reaching 296,000 miles trouble free. Both cars were unique, in that they both had manual transmissions. My latest manual is a 2015 Mazda 6, and its about to roll over 200,000 miles. Again, trouble free.

I know you weren’t asking me but I’ve been looking for an economy hybrid and it was between Toyota and Honda. Almost decided on the civic but I’m probably gonna go with a Corolla or Camry cause Toyota hybrids do not use the expensive lithium ion batteries they use the cheaper NiMH batteries. The cost to replace is about 40% more expensive. Otherwise I would have gone with civic because they are supposed to be a bit more fun to drive. Just something to consider.

[@EthanRay17]

FYI, I just bought one, got 2.2-2.3k off in DC plus a $500 rebate for 2.7-2.8k, no add ons. My OtD with dc taxes (1% on this vehicle) was 33265. Some tips for leverage. I was told by one dealer that: Invoice is 1200 off Holdback is another 500 Then they get another 200 for financing with Honda Then add the doc fee for a base level of profit they have. They also may get incentives for X#of units sold which will boost profit more. I had another dealer who matched that me deal I got too. That’s two dealers who did 2.7-2.8k off on this car. MSRP was 34500. OTD I got was 33265(~400 in sales tax though)
