I’m thinking of buying a new Honda CR-V.On a Krlly Bluebook web site I saw owner ratiing. There were 6 out of 72 poor ratingss because of gasoline getting into the oil on the 1.5 turbo engines. The 6 unsatisfied customers indicated that its a on going problem that Honda hasn’t owned up to. Is there any truth to this? ---

Hold off a bit for the new Rav4, no turbo engine, no CVT (except the hybrid). ---

This is a problem I am now hearing everywhere about the turbo engine in the new Hondas. I spoke to a Honda employee about it and the person said he had not heard about it. That worried me the most. ---
