VTC actuator makes this car stink

Same problem as the other reviewer. Grinding noise at every start is sooo irritating. Honestly, if someone wanted to trade me for a 2013 Toyota (something) right now I would. The fact that Honda plays dumb and won't fix the problem they created is disappointing.

After three years and 22,000 miles, our CRV has exceeded our expectations. I have done all the maintenance since new, oil changes have worked out to about every 7500 miles, replaced the cabin and engine air filter, and changed out the rear diff fluid. OEM tires were replaced at 20,000 miles with 3/32" tread remaining. In city driving, gas mileage is typically between 21-24mpg, and on steady highway driving, 30+mpg is the norm. The leather interior has held up extremely well, and the seats remain firm but very comfortable. It could use more torque sometimes in city maneuvers, but thats the tradeoff with a normal aspirated 4 cylinder. My wife has expressed interested in a Lexus RX and Lexus NX, so unless Honda puts a V-6 or Turbo 4 in the next generation Honda CRV, this will probably be our last Honda for awhile.

I did not use a dealer for this purchase. I went to a dealer that used the Costco. Plan and they gave me a price of 23000 Then I went to a broker who ordered it from the factory for 21000... Got it two weeks later. Went on an 11000-mile road trip and loved every minute of it. Except for Oil Changes and a set of tires the Maintenance costs have been low. I did all of the maintenance that was in the owners manual. The car is in great shape. Will buy another CRV to upgrade safety standards...

Odd noise from rear

Generally pleased with latest incarnation of the CRV but has anyone come across the problem of a light rattling sound from the rear of the vehicle. After a couple of dealership trips (car under warranty) it turns out to be a couple of pebbles that have bounced into the shock absorber recesses at the rear. The only way to remove them was to use a pressure air blower. The dealer did this free the first time but I was charged when it happened again. The older version CRV did not have this problem. Also, the sound system is not as bassy as the old version. Not that it matters much to me but it's not as good as the sound system in the older CRV.
