Am I the onlyone that can't see/open the attached pictures?

OK, I can open the alternative link. Nice car and color. I have one with the same color in order (one more month to wait.)

[sleeksilver]

yes, that's the headlight washer.

[dizchik]

Too bad we don't get it.... Yet. :(

[Brodick]

How smart is that

Can hardly wait till I get my hands on one
due to replace my current CR-V in May and will be going for
and ES auto in the same colour

Congratulations again on such a good choice

[mightyjewels]

Have had my EX diesel in Sparkle Grey for few months now - loving it!!!
Not used it much as having a new baby stops you leaving the house ever again!

[mikeye]

yes, that's the headlight washer.


was it preinstalled sir? :)

[sleeksilver]

was it preinstalled sir? :)

Yes, it should have came like that from the factory :)

[mikeye]

Yes, it should have came like that from the factory :)

ah ok...thanks...cause the one i got here only came with lower front chrome grill, projector HID lamps with auto leveling, rear back up sensors, 7 spoke 17 inch mags, 6 cd mp3 wma player 4 speakers and 2 tweeters, dual adjustable aircon, volume control installed on the steering wheel, leather interiors, with cargo tray, automatic side mirror folding wtih signal lights, conversation mirror with sunglass container.

i think they lessened the specs.....like the cruise control, headlight washer, the heater, etc.

so far am having fun driving the V around!! My wife and kids love it.

This is a great site to share my thoughts...thanks.

If you think yours is bad you should see what they did to us poor Americans!!! :lol: We don't get any of the cool features!

Have fun with your CR-V :)

huh? i think your models there are great...with the sun roof (which i dont have), the navigation system, the rear camera...etc.

guys, i know that this is not the proper site but would like to ask if anyone experience dizziness while driving a new car? (Coz my friends friend bought a new civic and he claims that he gets dizzy everytime he drives the car....and is saying that the windshield has a prescription.). Any comments and links would help...thanks in advance

You mentioned dizziness and a windshield. Do a search on this forum for "windshield" as you may have a funky windshield. There was a complaint about it a while ago that may help you.

thanks a lot sir!

[ajk]

Love it in grey! Would have been my top choice if it was available in USA. (I got glacier blue) Great package of options! Congratulations!!!

[Bimmer Pilot]

That is a great looking V !

Hi there...Sir Weimar....at last had the time to take pictures of my V...also in sparkling gray....its a 2.4 S-X AT.... she has beautiful eyes especially at night (projector hid lamps with auto levelling). Foggy nights....no problem... got fog lamps too, she got braces also (lower chrome front grill), power retractable side mirror turning lights makes others turn their head to get a second look, rear back up sensors make sure that she doesn't get her butt dirty. Inside her, makes me feel very comfortable, with beige leather interiors, 6cd mp3 wma, dual climate control, leather spoke steering wheel with audio controls......uhm forgot to mention ... she has 4 airbags to keep my family safe ..... overall, she's got me stickin to her like glue.....;)

Nice car, but why take the pictures of the car in the shadow? Just a tip: You'll get better pictures in sunlight or daylight, and if you place it so you get the same light on the whole car (no shadows) ;)

Sir ajk thanks....but no sunroof sir.

[dreese9859]

Very nice car mikeye. Love the color.

That would be nice. Need some pictures to look at while I'm waiting for my own Sparkle Grey CR-V :)

thanks sir dreese9859......love your tailgate spoiler!!!

[dizchik]

Asteeeeg! Ang ganda sir! Loves it! I was actually wondering if the '07 V's were available out there in the Philippines, 'cuz when I was checking the Honda Philippines website back in Jan. they didn't show them.

I was wondering when you would actually use the fog lights though. Only reason i would think of using them out there is if you lived in Antipolo or Laguna...

ANyway, i was also wondering, is it possible for '07 parts to be cheaper out there? 'Cuz I'm coming home in June/July, and was thinking of getting some mods for my V. How much did you get the HID Lamps for? I've been wanting to white out my back lights as well.

Thanks sir dizchik!! All mentioned specs came in with the 2.4 S-X AT model (only 3 models were available here: the 2.0 MT, the 2.0 AT and the 2.4 S-X AT), yap honda philippines just updated their website...dont know if accessories upgrade are available already. Will try to ask around tomorrow at the dealer...will be bringing her for her first 1000km check up.

Probably by the time you get here, banawe will be overflowing with different kind of mods for the V.....and much cheaper than the honda dealers (as in 50-75% cheaper!).

FYI: am based in the province and fog lights might come in handy when travelling in the mountainous area.:)

[mikeye]

Sir RMH...as promised......

Sir RMH...as promised......


Thank you. It looks very nice :)
Is the drivers side window tinted? In Norway that is not legal :( , but it looks so much better with tint on all side windows.

Roy

Yes Sir, all windows are tinted, even the windshield but in a lighter tint than the rest....3M magic tint. :)

[dizchik]

Ahhh.. i see... very true, I didn' realize you were from the province. Hehe.. the only high altitude areas I know in Manila would be Tagaytay and Antipolo! So Banawe?? Wow... then I bet I'll be seeing more when I get back to Manila (I'm based in Malate). Can't wait to see them driving around! I'm sure I'll be wishing I had my V to drive around in. :D

BTW: It's Miss.. hehe

Miss dizchik, just came from the dealer, and asked them regarding the accessories/mods availability....and unfortunately the dealer told me, no definite date yet. Banawe street in manila mam, not the province.

They also told me that at present the waiting list for the V in manila is around 18 months already.:D

[suvman44]

your car makes for an awesome desktop picture.

my 03 EX is going strong at about 56k. good luck with your V.

damn...nICE.

[mikeye]

added a few accessories.front and rear lower garnish, door visors, and still waiting for my rear spoiler.

How do you like those door visors? Without them my seats get splashed my rain when I open the door getting in or driving. Do the visors really help?

Got the visors for one reason i read in another thread....that they can reduce wind noise...will still have to try them on long drives....

Yes, when you get in and out of the V, you'll still get splashed by the rain, as it is connected to the doors.

Do the visors really help?......probably yes, when you only need to open your window with a small gap to let fresh air come in; will probably reduce wind noise (still to be tested)......

Thanks for clarifying - I was not sure what part of the car they were attached to! Please post an update on noise reduction after your test!

Love looking at the pictures of your car - pearl grey was available in US, it would have been my first choice!

[Pinoy_RD4]

Papi, I think the color you've chosen is the best among the locally-available shades, except of course for the Pearlescent White Mica which costs extra. From what dealership did you buy your unit and what freebies did you get? By the way, just curious, what was your previous ride before you got this one? TIA.

[Cr-Van]

mikeye
nice V i like that color

im gonna ask my brother to go in banawe for that head lights...really want that lights

[mikeye]

Thanks cr van and pinoy rd4.....

ajk: tried running the V around 120km/hr yesterday, there was reduction on wind noise...but still have to take it on a longer run.....can anyone who has the door visors agree with me? or is it just me and my conscience? will update again sir.:lol:

[3000spyderman]

GORGEOUS...I want those lights...
