Review 2012 crv ex awd    (Score: 1, Normal) 02-16-2012 22:58

My crv is an ex awd diamond white, option were spash guard and backup sensor...
I paid $25,235..My OTD prices was $27,747.16
After 200+ miles of mix highway/city I'm avg about 27.5 mpg



The USB interface is awesome, need to be in fat32 format.. If you were to get a usb flash drive I recommend you get the 8 gb or lower capacity drives, as larger capacity drives don't seem the work.. Now I have over 1000 songs to listen to on my way to work...

The storage compartment is great for storing your hand held navigation, and with the 12 volt outlet inside that compartment you won't have wire everywhere...

Love the classy and upscale look of the 2012 CRV...I'm not impress with the here today outdated by next year style of the CRV competition..

I just ordered a 16g USB for my wife...didn't think it wouldn't work.

I agree on the competition, but I am not sure how the new Escape will do just yet.

I'm curious why you got the backup sensors when there's already a backup camera.

an audio indicator works just as well as a visual one in this case.

This morning there was a layer of condensation over my reverse cam, a beeping noise would have been great. Also, some things tend to move while you're backing up and the camera colors are stale and wash away under any type of sunlight (and the reverse lamps aren't sufficient enough to light everything up at night). If that was the case, and another car was backing out of a spot opposite you, the noise indicator would also help.

If you got the 16 GB flash drive, you could partition it to say two 8 GB partition, than It should work just fine...

After driving my CRV for a few days now I find the backup sensor to be more usefull than the camera...
With the backup sensor you don't really have to change your normal driving behaivor, you just backup listen to the beep...
With your camera you force to look at the imid while backingup takes getting use to..
The camera is nice for placing your car evenly into a parking spot..

Be careful not to rely on the beep to much. A friend of mine found that if he plug in a device charger into the power outlet it causes the backup sensor to either not beep or beep eradically. I personally park in a very close space and the sensors keep going berzerk everytime I reverse, so I worry always that I might run someone over because I ignore the beeping out of habit.

Good choice to have both the backup sensor and camera to really confirm everything.
