CR-V

[JS]

I know I should have asked before, but I just bought a new Honda CR-V 2.0i ES 4WD. Did I make a good choice? What are common problems with this model?

Are you saying you bought a pre owned(New to you)CRV or a brand new one? I have a 2002 EX with about 33,000 miles and so far so good. If I had to do it all over again I would purchase it again. I do have a couple minor issues I am going to have looked at next week when I get my oil changed at the dealership.
1. Within the last few weeks my 6cd in dash player has started to develope skip. At first I thought it was the cd I was listening to and then I noticed I am getting skip with CD's 1-6. It is not the CDs.
2. I have been hearing a annoying sound when the AC/Heater fan motor is on. It almost sounds like it is just rubbing against something as it is spinning. Both these issues I consider Minor. I have gotten a few recalls from Honda to fix some things but I am happy Honda thought they might have a problem so they fixed it before it could be a problem. This is the 4th Honda I've owned and don't see myself driving another Name plate.

I should have said it is brand new, model 2005.

Where did you get the 2.0i ES from? This cannot be a US model. The US CRV's are only listed as LX, EX and SE. The engine is a 2.4 inline DOHC 4cyl. As far as I know it is problem free, but I'm new to them also. Going to get a new 2005 one in the spring. Probably the LX 4WD.
