2004 Honda CR-V review from Australia and New Zealand
"Doubtful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C compressor just exploded - will take 2 days to repair; I'm a bit disappointed that this happened so fast.
It started with a whistling noise followed by lots of "clinks" and "clonks".
Now I have to drive around in 35 degrees C Celsius for 2 weeks if not longer - thanks Honda.
I'm glad it didn't happen on the freeway, but 200 meters from my house!
General comments?
Time will tell, but it's no longer on top of my reliability list.
