Honda parts reviews

I would recommend a hybrid crv, great gas mileage, reliable, plenty of room in the back as well as cargo. I had a 2022 crv exl before trading it in for an EV, only maintenance I did over 25k miles was oil changes, tire rotations, changed wiper blades and repaired a tire leak. Absolutely loved it but traded it in because charging EV is cheaper and has less maintenance.

CC2’s carried me through last winter. Snow, icy roads no problems. I was able to rescue my son in a snowstorm when he slid off the road. 4-6” of unplowed snow and my CR-V handled it like a champ.

That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.

Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.

Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.

You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.

It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.

Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.

The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).

Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.

VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.

Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.

Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.

Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.

Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).

Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.

Im a wix guy personally and have read good things about them in the past. Ive subjected my car to a couple dozen track events with temps exceeding 280 degrees and have Blackstone Lab reports that have come back fine and "within spec" for their analysis. This is enough for me to keep using them.

Definitely Michelin Crossclimates. I have owned Hondas since 1985 and have always put Michelin’s on my cars, SUVs and mini-vans. The Crossclimates are the best Michelin tires I have ever purchased. Loved them so much, I put them on my CRV that had low mileage on its original set of tires.

I like the Rain-X ones on the front. I usually get two winters out of them instead of just one.

The OEM unit will outperform all the junk that people buy that's non oem. That starter lasted 20 years. It's a great product. You will likely have moved on from the car for some other problem by the time it dies again. The other non oem stuff "works" but longevity and crank time would probably been different.

I just did mine last week with Denso remanufactured , snapped the bolt and had to replaced the pulley tensioner too ????

My father-in-law bought a fuel $10 pump for his Honda Accord that came in a Bosch box and the mechanic told him that it was counterfeit but it was the only one available. He used that fuel pump and it broke in 2 days

Turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough on the intake cam gear. A couple came very loose or out. Tore up the timing belt, the cam gear and valve cover.
