What does CR V stand for on Honda?
Compact Recreational Vehicle
Since 1995, the name CR-V has been used to describe this handy little vehicle. It should come as no surprise then that the name means “Compact Recreational Vehicle.” We don’t know why the hyphen is there, or why it is placed where it is, but it is catchy that way.
What kind of car is a Honda FRV?
As with all Honda’s, super reliable ? We had an 05 2.0ltr FRV for 3 trouble free years. Only issue was it was extremely thirsty. 25-30mpg max generally. It was too big for our requirements once the lad didnt need a pushchair anymore, so we now have a 2.2ltr Civic which is fantastic.
Is it cheaper to buy a Honda FRV or diesel?
The only saving you make is due to lower fuel costs but at 7K it’s probably only a few £2-300 per year (petrol is 10% cheaper), whilst you face potentially bigger bills not only from the complexity of a diesel but also an older car.
Is the Honda FRV jazz a good car?

What to watch out for when buying a Honda FRV?

At 7-8K a year you’d not make the extra initial purchase price of the diesel back and you’d be looking at potentially bigger bills. The icdti has problems with dual mass flywheels, EGR, cracked manifolds and turbos, although no DPF.
What kind of engine does a Honda FRV have?
Japanese petrol engines are the best around…. they didn’t want to go down the diesel route but European manufactures forced the issue, Honda and Toyota wanted efficient petrol engines and small capacity turbo engines so their first diesel efforts were a bit half hearted.
