    I was looking at the new CRV and really like the rear door that opens
    upward rather than sideways. In general the vehicle looks more
    polished. I was however disappointed that they have kept the same
    engine. That engine while good for reliability still requires the
    expensive timing belt service. With the increase in vehicle weight and
    the 2.4L engine only managing 160 HP at a fairly high rpm. The
    performance numbers demonstrate its mediocre power. The CRV is under
    powered when compared to the others in its class i.e. Subaru, Toyota
    and the new Mitsubishi. Maybe next year they will upgrade ?

    The 2.2L diesel that they use in the UK would be a smash hit
    here in the good old USA. 260 ftlbs of torque would really
    make the CRV jump off the line. Plus getting 30% better milage.

    Yes Lynn. Give me a 2.2 L Diesel or even a small 2.5-2.7 L V6 or I6
    engine.

  4. I'm pretty sure that engine is chain-driven.

    I think you are right. I have the 2.4L in an '04 Accord, and its got a
    timing chain.

    If you take the engine head cover off, you'll see that it's a chain. It
    is the same engine that's been in an Accord since 2003. Even Honda
    mechanics don't know that it's a chain.... Scarry.

    Cheers.
