2008 Honda CR-V Start Up & Test Drive ( Accidental Shitbox )

I'm not insisting that all CR-V's are shitboxes but this particular 1 was. I seems it may have been T-Boned really good on the passenger side and the left ass cheek may have struck something as well resulting in deforming the whole Structure becuase the handling and road manners were just insane. I've driven Elements and older generation CRV's and they handled quite well.

Seems like Whole thing was repainted by a carpenter because it was just so sloppy. The wheels are out of Alignment. Both front wheel are riding on the outside edge. It just can't keep in a straight line, just veers all over the place. And since the wheels are in that V shaped position I'm mentioning, it feels so tipsy as if it were gonna flip when doing sharp turns.

The right front passenger door just doesn't seal well as it may be where it was stuck and pulled back . The scar in the frame and the hole in the door panel kinda give that away. Road noise and are leak in from the bottom of the door so it was a noisy 1 hour drive.

The front seat head rest were missing, and the transmission briefly slipped. I tried so hard to make it do it again and I couldn't replicate, so thats something that may give trouble soon.

The tires just screech just doing a rolling U-Turn and this is a 2WD CR-V. Most likely cause of the funky position the front tires, it needs more than an alignment to correct it.

The Radio was requesting a code so I could try it out.

The RPM Tach wasn't working properly. It just stutters and is about 1000RPM off at times.

Really this thing is a complete shitbox. All it has is a very good engine, some good interior parts like the seats and dash parts, Tail light / head lights.

It just not that safe drive in the shape it's in.
