No car is perfect so customer service should be important too.

Agreed 100%. That is why I bought from an established dealer with many brands for sale. Even if Mitsu has a downturn, he isn't going to go out of buisiness and leave me looking for somewhere to get it serviced.

RE: Newbie Question

Thanks for the feedback, Im looking forward to driving it in a few weeks.

I was also curious about a towbar. I cant see anything listed on the mits canada website. Is this a US only option ?

Thanks

Don't bother with the Mits Canada web site - it sucks. Any accessory available in the US is available in Canada - in fact all accessories for North America are distributed out of California and Florida.

Every CRV that Honda has brought to the US with AWD has had or will have the dreaded rear diff noise due to the diff fluid breaking down within the first 15 to 30K instead of the expected 90K stated in the service manual. Just do a search on "CRV Rear Diff Noise". Honda's dirty little secret. It is not a problem if you want to pay the $62 that the dealer wants service the rear diff every 15K miles. Go too far without the fluid change and take a chance at need a whole new rear diff.

i believe they had fixed the diff fluid problem with 1st lots of the '07 CR-V. i have a Honda HR-V myself and the rear diff fluid holds up just fine. i admit i have ruined it myself making donuts in deep snow and launching flat out when slippery (that's 6 months a year)
