Honda CR-V RE (2007-2011)

I bought my 2007 EX new . I think it was a big SUV. I did not get good gas mileage . I had 185,000 miles on it this year. So it lasted 18 years. I know I could have gotten another 100,000 miles . It was a great car . Just too big. Never any issues with power Tran . I took excellent care of it. Unfortunately it was totaled in an accident a few… Read more

months ago .The air bag did not deploy . It could have been repaired . I rear ended another car and insurance refused to repair it . I could not afford to replace it.

Not a reliable car – My 2010 Luxury CRV has been falling apart over the last couple of years. First the starter motor failed, the leather on the armrests are peeling, the doors do not lock with the remote, fuel consumption is terrible at 13.3 L/100KM and the drive shaft needs to be replaced. The CRV is regularly serviced by the same mechanic and he admits that some of my prob;ems are common with CRV's. Show details

Honda CRV - the best rating from first impressions to an absolute disaster over time – My initial sentiments in the early days of ownership are on a par with the majority of the rave-reviews on this platform. I bought my 2.4 Honda CRV Automatic brand new as a result of a test drive which really impressed me. Instant pull away with a fabulous VTEC motor, nice drive, spacious and comfortable. Over time those sentiments changed to… Read more

outright disappointment. While the VTEC engine provides excellent pull-away acceleration, for a 2.4 litre engine, overall performance is lethargic. Fully laden the Honda CRV could even pose a safety risk due to poor overtaking acceleration characteristics at higher speeds. As with other sentiments, fuel economy is pathetic at an average of around 12.5lt/100km. The other issues are with Bluetooth pairing with a smart phone and once paired, it works erratically. Cellular phones do not connect automatically when the vehicle is started and often fails to connect throughout the journey. The air conditioner is not very efficient and my other vehicle, a 2012 Hyundai i30 has a air conditioner and radio / Bluetooth system that is far superior in all aspects compared to the Honda CRV. The Honda CRV headlights are way below the industry norm for brightness. Forget about listening to the radio / conversation on a long trip as road noise is extremely high - and annoying. I am not a large person yet the driver's seat padding is starting to collapse. The worst of all, my vehicle is now a rust bucket. Honda Motor Company must have known this as most of the rust issues only present themselves just after the warranty expiry. Rust has eaten through from the outside of the vehicle into the spare wheel well. As the vehicle is white in colour, the orange rust water marks are very noticeable in two prominent areas due to water coming through when driving on wet roads. These two distinctive rust holes, no more than a few millimetres in size, are halfway up, at the rear of the spare wheel well. If one stores a tool kit, emergency torch, tow cable in the spare wheel well area as I do, they will soon be lost due to rust. If one looks underneath the vehicle, one cannot see the outside of the wheel well rust points as this area is covered by the bumper, so could not be seen during servicing inspection unless the rear bumper was removed. In addition, the entire spare wheel and fuel tank general area on the outside (underneath the vehicle) has dozens of rust specks. Also, many of the main door hinge bolts have rusted.

This vehicle has been meticulously maintained with regular Honda dealer service intervals and on the outside, looks brand new. The vehicle is also 100% free of any accident damage, has a full service history and with just over 52 250km on the clock to be riddled with rust as described, is an absolute disgrace. I have dozens of photographs to substantiate my claim. As far as rust protection and finish goes, one of the worst vehicles on the market.

Would have been a great buy if not for these design flaws – I have been a fan of hondas because of their reliability and awesome look. I had a 1999 crv before and was very practical and reliable so i got myself an upgrade with the 2008 honda crv sports model. I like how it looks and how roomy the cabin is. The ride is quiet as the engine noise is minimal. Tyre noise would depend on the quality of tyres… Read more

you got. I got maxxis ones on mine so its not the best but not the worse too. Power is adequate when overtaking. But not enough to give you confidence in doing something more daring. I get fuel economy of 10.5liters per 100kms combined after changing spark plugs, changing oil and filter, cleaning maf sensor, changing air filter and putting some magic oil additives. I was averaging 12.5 liters per 100kms before doing all these. Overall happy with everything else except for these 2 major flows so beware!

Power steering defect. My power steering fluid is leaking somewhere. Iv researched and its a common problem. Also my crv seems to be pulling a bit to the left. Have done wheel balance and alignment but it did not solve the problem.

Air compressor defect. Mine has been changed by the previous owner. But they are to last around 90,000kms then the compressor will go. The replacement compressor i got will also be the same. It will go bad in a few years.

So check the history of the car if you plan to buy one of this. Check the power steering system and aircon system.

Great SUV – This is our first Honda and love it! Purchased brand new. Have always heard about Hondas' great finish, engines, economy etc. Having now owned this 2007 Sport model for 9 months, we can see why Honda owners love their cars. Great to drive on highways, as well as in the city. Good fuel economy considering the size. Very smooth, beautiful… Read more

finish, seats comfortable (our 2 boys love the back seats as they can recline as well as travel forwards and backwards). Great storage capacity. You need to buy "proper" carpets to cover over the crappy ones fitted by Honda, as the standard felt material fitted wears through really quick (like in 1 week of use!). Very happy with this vehicle, would buy another Honda anyday. Good dealer service. Have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Update: Have now had this vehicle for 7 years, just done 77,000 k. Honda service has been excellent, no problems. Only replaced 1 battery after 4 years and still on second set of tyres (Falkens). Only negative: Doesn't like hill starts in the manual, have to use lots of revs and spin the clutch a bit on steep hills. Would buy the auto next time. Great engine, loves to rev. No quality issues over 7 years of ownership. Classy looks, great engine, strong brakes, heaps of room, excellent economy considering size (8.5 litres per 100 klms on highway with 6 speed manual), excellent fit and finish, good stereo, good air-con, great visibility. Standard Bridgestone tyres are noisy, although grip well. Engine needs more power for hills. No bluetooth. So-called standard carpets are rubbish, they are only a felt-like material, not proper carpet as befits a Honda.

Surprisingly fuel efficient! – After months of research and after test driving 3 SUV x-overs (the other two were Subaru Forester and Jeep Patriot) I immediately picked out my 2008 Honda CRV, it has a great build quality and it seems Honda put more in there cars for standard than some other brands. I previously owner a Mitsubishi Lancer of the same year, and wasnt pleased with… Read more

the plastics used throughout the interior, or the comfort/support of the seats (the main reason for the upgrade was need of space and want of a SUV sized car) The CRV is a nice change, It drives like a dream and feels very solid in every way. It has thick solid plastics on the interior and the seats are more comfy than my lounge! Ive only had it for 4 weeks, but was surprised after reading a lot of peoples reviews on this site. A lot of people complained fuel is atrocious, and I was expecting to dish out 50% more on my fuel then the lancer considering the lancer was 7.9L/100km and CRV was recording(according to some) around if not over 12L/100km. That is not the case with mine at all! My old lancer cost $70 to fill up and lasted just shy of a fortnight till near the empty light. The CRV is pulling similar stats with around $70 to fill up and lasting 10-12 days with the same driving routes/distances. Not bad considering one is a med range sedan with 2L engine and the other is much bigger with 2.4L engine. I was blown away. I probably spend $5-10 more per week on fuel, max! I do drive casually, but also have the air con on most of the time so I cant say Im trying to be fuel efficient. People are also complaining of parts failing, I cant say Im to worried over anything atm, aside from the aircon. That is the only thing which has let me down. It is slow to start and isnt extremely cold. Aircon in the lancer was ice cold straight away, no problem, with the CRV it takes a while and I will worry if it will fail in the future. I have read before that if you replace Honda fluids MORE regularly than usual your Honda will last a life time, if you dont you will have problems, so I plan to flush coolant and transmission oil asap to really look after it and will post back if I have problems in the future. So far though I am very happy with my CRV and would definitely recommend purchasing one.

Paint bubbled and peeled at year 6 - Honda took no responsibility – I was a loyal Honda customer, owning 2 Honda's. Unfortunately the paint started bubbling on my steel grey Honda CRV at year 6 (approx $40K car) with independent quotes of $4,000 to fix it. Upon calling Honda, they told me that the paint was only guaranteed for 3 years and they would not do anything to fix it, even though they had changed paint… Read more

type post this due to identified issues. With only 50,000km on the clock, the car is now worthless. Such a pity they treat a loyal customer in this manner and I am left with such a bad and costly customer experience.

Great reliable car always! – We loved this car so much and was really sad when I sold it. We owned it for almost 8yrs and had no problem at all with the car. It’s powerful and so reliable, I enjoyed driving this car around Sydney and interstate. Ac was always cold and never had problem. Service didn’t cost us a lot too. The seats were comfortable, Front and back. And the bonus hand rest can’t be beaten. I wish all cars have handrest for the driver seat.  Show details

Comfortable, reliable, versatile SUV – We bought our 2007 (MY 2008) CRV with 90K km on the clock, trading our early release 97 CRV that we'd owned from new. We've found the 07/08 CRV great to drive, cost effective to run and the interior is really comfortable for passengers and flexible for cargo. We do a combination of country and around town driving - regular servicing and… Read more

maintenance (religiously every 10K kms) and replacement of the airbag after the recall has been the only time it has been off road in 6 years. Now approaching 200K km, it is still going strong and while the interior has stood up to wear and tear well, the paintwork is looking a bit thin. We would like to upgrade to some new tech and a true off roader/twin cab ute this time round - but Honda doesn't make one!

Sensational – Bought a second hand CRV from Penrith Mazda and the service from Russell was nothing short of amazing. Very honest and patient and goes out of his way to assist with anything that you need this is my 2nd purchase from this car yard and I won’t be going anywhere else in the future  Show details

Great SUV but it has flaws – I bought my Honda CRV used from a Honda dealership. There was later an issue with the air con breaking down in really hot weather and some mechanics told me this is common with this car. Luckily, The dealership replaced the compressor under my warranty! Other than this, the car has been fine. I always feel safe and secure in my Honda. It… Read more

accelerates quickly, the brake system is fantastic even in wet weather, and it never slips or skids. I would have liked more leg room in the back, though. But overall, I am happy I chose this as my first SUV.

Didn't miss a beat-great – We have had our Honda CRV 2007 since new. It was a city car for the first few years and then we moved to the country and we put it through a beating using it as if it was a Toyota Land cruiser! Loaded water soil, toed branches and trailers full of wood and it didn't miss a beat. Even the interior has remained intact and I have three dogs! I know… Read more

it cost a bit more but in the long run it's worth it . A really comfortable car to drive no major break downs, except service. 135,000 km and still powering on.

Extensive CR-V Air Conditioning Failures – Air conditioning system failed in our 2008 low km VGC CR-V and research reveals it is not an uncommon problem. Widespread reports online of AC Compressor and clutch failures in CR-V's. Ours has also been diagnosed with this same failure, at a cost of $1500+ to fix. We've been informed that we should be entitled to 'goodwill' repairs by the… Read more

company, due to the extensive nature of the CR-V air conditioning failures. So far, no assistance forthcoming.

As a result, we'll be pursuing an Australian Consumer Law Consumer Guarantee claim for 'faulty goods that are not fit for purpose' and making a small claim through the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

If you've had an air conditioning failure in a CR-V, check consumer protection laws in your state and act accordingly.

August 8th 2016 Update: Air Conditioning Problems

Not surprised to see numerous complaints about poor air conditioning performance. Aircon compressor failures are notorious in 2002 - 2011 CR-V's. A 2012 class-action lawsuit in America (Alin vs Honda), regarding broken air conditioners; involved 1 million CR-V, Acura and Odyssey models. Going by the posts below, it would appear that the problems continue in newer models. As a previous poster remarked - Buyer Beware. A replacement air conditioner will cost you $1500+.

Ac has stopped working at 100,000k – Not happy after reading my ac is going to cost 1500+ , were is the recall on this , if I pay for it to get fixed will Honda reimburse me after it is recalled ,this will be my last Honda if this is the case , I really hope everybody complains to Honda about this issue  Show details

Perfect car – We have been using our Honda CRV for more than a year now and we haven't found any serious issues other than it's well known AC clutch-coil issue. Recently I had been using a 2015 prado and found that little Honda CRV has almost the same room that a prado has. It's a quite reliable car and we are quite happy with everything.  Show details

NO RECALL!! – I have a 2008 CRV with an air conditioner compressor issue. Apparently this is extremely common and can affect your whole motor. Very expressive to fix $1500+. Do your homework as this is a very common issue but there has been no recall in Australia! Maybe we need to band together and raise this issue with Fair Trading or The Ombudsman...  Show details

Thought I Did My Homework – Best review hands down. Pity no one mentioned the air con compressor suddenly seizes or blows up. $1200 to fix. Otherwise a super car. I tow a grooming trailer all day and it never stops. Only niggle is it doesn't like backing my trailer up hills. Don't blame it really! Awesome.  Show details

reliable car at the right price – I had this car since 2011 just before the current model came out. been serviced at Honda every 10,000km and so far so good. Had a very minor steering vibration issue but was resolved with some kind of oil flash during service. For under $45,000 AUD, I must say this has been a very reasonable car. It must be very well built as the car is on… Read more

71000KM right now. but I am still using the original factory tyres and it's still going. I haven't done any wheel alignments yet and it's still drives perfect!!!

couldn't even do that on my Lexus RX 450h

Quality and reliability – Bought a 2011 base model manual CR-V and couldn't be happier. Engine is smooth and powerful enough, responding when asked. You really do not need any more power unless you intend on misbehaving. Servicing so far not as expensive as I thought it would be. Honda's certainly have a quality feel with this being my first and probably not my last. Love… Read more

the room and practicality. My first SUV and cannot believe road handling compared to all sedans I have had previously. Seriously cannot go wrong with this Honda. Quality, reliability, cargo space 2007 to new 2013 model CR-V probably not the best looking 4WD but not worst either

Honda CR-V fuel consumption – Purchased NEW in 2010. Very comfortable, good driver viewing BUT Fuel economy appalling. 13 up to 15 L/100klms. Wrote to Honda in Vic. They said it's the way we drive the vehicle. Hello !! Used 85 Octane - no difference. Paid Scott's Honda in Artarmon $45 + for nitrogen in tyres. Zilch difference. 2.4 litre engine with this mileage/litre - hopeless and very expensive. Think Twicebefore you try !! Anthony Williams  Show details

Safe and reliable – Best car i have ever owned, can confidently recommend this vehicle to every one. Service costs very reasonable as well. After recently being involved in a serious rear end accident, if it was not for our CRV i do believe we would not be here to tell the story. This vehicle is one of the safest on the road. excellent fuel consumption at 7.5/100 for my crv sport spends most days on open roadvery comfortable and and very good in the wet  Show details

Good at just about everything – Purchased NEW, the last intake of the June 2012 CRV. Base model. White, Auto, 4WD, 17" Mags, Bluetooth and Reversing sensors. Typical Honda. Bullet proof if you service by the book. The only issue was a rattle/buzzing from the Bluetooth on coarse bitumen. Replaced under warranty. Currently has 53500km and the Michelin tires look good for another… Read more

10k? Paint is very thick and has only scored 1 door nick in a park. No dent. Touched up with some Honda Bike paint and hard to find now. ( Previous Accord Euro had metallic paint which I would not recommend as the paint was very thin). Fuel averages around 9.3l/100km combined. This is our 4th Honda interspersed by BMW 323i, Alfa (2), SAAB 9-3, Peugeot 405,306, and the Honda's have all been the cheapest and most reliable to own. My intention was to trade the CRV at 2 years old but we still have it. Might be a long term affair and purchase an older model weekend toy euro. Update 5/8/16. We still have the CRV! Took the Michelin tyres off at 62,000km and they were still legal. Fitted Sumitomo guaranteed for 60.000 if rotated every 7,000 by agent. CRV still averages 9.3km/100 with regular trips onto the highway. Showing 73,654km and running like a clock. I did purchase a weekend car 12 months ago. 2009 Volvo C30 T5 R Design. Great car but the servicing costs are up there. Just had a service this week. Oil (full synthetic) and filter, 5 plugs (@ $38 ea), air filter, rear brake shoes and flush brake system. Total $1,042. That was on top of two new tyres for $500. Wife was very impressed..not! Makes the service costs on the Honda look very reasonable.

CRV 2009 hard on steering and pulls to one side – I love the car, beautiful smooth ride on an open road, I service ir regularly, no problems mechanically or electrically, but the car pulls to the left, and the steering is tight, complained to the dealer, they did a through check, test came up fine, wheel alignments did some good but it lasted for a time and then back the pulling. I have Michelin… Read more

Tyres as well and suspect that it could be the issue, good Tyres but tends to grip the road. I've done some research and am considering changing to Bridgestone Dueller highway, this has been recommended by beaurepairs in WA after speaking to a helpful salesman.

Honda CRV Aircon (AC) Issues – 3 weeks ago the air-conditioning of our Honda CRV failed again (a couple of months before a faulty relay caused the battery to run out). This time the compressor had to be replaced and I was quoted $2,000! Luckily I found information on the internet confirming this is a regular, serious issue for Honda CRVs. I did tell the dealer this would be my… Read more ·  1

last Honda if Honda did not recognise the hardware issue that has been troubling their customers for years and got confirmation Honda would show some 'goodwill' and take 75% of the cost for their account. Still not happy that I had to pay $500 for a production issue so this will be the last Honda I bought as a matter of principle. It's a shame as otherwise I am very happy with my 2nd Honda CRV and the dealership has been providing excellent service. This is how Honda loses loyal customers by not recognising and accepting total responsibility for production issues like other manufacturers do but only showing 'goodwill' to those customers who dare to make a case. No marketing campaign will fix that lack of customer respect.

5 Stars for the Car. None for the Dealer – Absolutely a fabulous vehicle. However, when I purchased the car new in July 2011 The paper work listed it as a 2011 model. Some months later I found out it was manufactured in October 2010. When I contacted Southern Highlands Honda in Moss Vale, and complained, they denied that I was told it was manufactured in 2011. I will certainly purchase… Read more

another Honda but it wont be from these people. Excellent vehicle and great handling with plenty of power.

CRV 2008 – 5 yrs old CRV just had the aircon compressor fail. Honda priced it at $2600 to replace. Went to RAC they said simillar figure and lady said this is the 4th CRV this week to come in with the same problem. I live in Perth. I am looking for someone who may have same issue to share experience. $2600 is rubbish. The compressor is $300-$400. Future Honda buyers be very careful. Aircon failure Show details

Great car – We have the 2007 Crv luxury, great car very reliable never a problem and we have done 114,000 kms, interior lacking Bluetooth and technology and doesn't enjoy up hills great manual gear box easy to change gears. A bit of wear and tear. Honda have great service only had one minor recall Fuel efficient, reverse sensors, loads of room Up hills, lacking technology Show details ·  1

Very good – We bought standard model CRV 2008 automatic,it has 78.000km. The boot is very roomy even for our large baby pram still some room left for other staff. Seats very comft. even on citi short trips. Standard model is very good still full electric and ice aricon. Economy with aircon "on" in town is from 10.5l per 100km up to 11.5l per 100km. I am… Read more

using 98octane all time,as usuall very quite engine. Braking very good same as on accord euro. I wish I have this model on turbo diesel like in Europe. I don't like the idea in glovebox and other storage boxes there is no any lights really shame!

I personly can say it is very good car for familly. Comfort,brakes,display,dash,stearing wheel,shape No lights in glovebox and other storage box no lights on boot

OK – A good general purpose fuss free car. Not 1 issue after 20,000kms - typical Honda reliability. A bit thirsty but fuel cost is not the biggest cost driver of a car. Flexible internal arrangement. Fuss free. Does everything well, nothing bad but nothing really good. Not slow, not fast, not bad on fuel, not good, not huge for space, not small. A… Read more

very functional, fuss free car. Fuel consumption can be high - around town (typically 12 to 14 l / 100km, best ever on highway was 7.0 l / 100 km). A 4 cylinder but not that thrifty - others in this segment are the same - Territory slightly worse but goes harder. Not that inspiring. Would have liked the option of side airbags without having to pay for a sunroof - come on Honda you can offer more flexible packaging.

Terrible – Will be so pleased when lease runs out, will not get another Honda CR-V. Very disappointed. A real has-been concept. Give it a decent burial, Honda. Definitely not value for money anymore. Not much really, reliable but dull. Handling is quite good, this may be only real plus for this vehicle. Otherwise a very stodgy drive. Fuel tank is way too… Read more

small, fuel consumption too high, gutless performance. I have Luxury model but where is the luxury apart from one powered seat? EG no lamp in glovebox, no lamps in visors or doors, Honda have cut too many corners. Why have heated seats in Australia? Mine wheel slips on the lawn when wet, so I am terrified of going offroad - seriously useless vehicle. Cannot fit much in rear with seats folded due to useless design. Rear door is flimsy and often does not shut without a few tries. My wife's Honda Jazz can actually take larger items, it is a brilliant flat floor design.

Solid small family SUV – 2008 CRV, Special edition, automatic, black Very happy with this car so far. Would absolutely recommend for small family. Good handling, large and easy to load boot space. Relative good fuel consumption. Would not recommend car for towing other than small light trailers. Inside: Well build, practicable and lots of room even compared to… Read more

bigger SUV's. Black cloth interior fine. Back row seats high (easy to handle children in baby seats). Good visibility to outside. Outside: Well build. Reverse parking sensors very handy and sensitive. Motor and technical aspects: Low fuel consumption for 4WD SUV (7L/100km highway 120km/h), (11L/100km innercity driving). Stable and good response to steering, brakes balanced, no technical issues in first 50.000km so far. Standard Michelin tyres last about 50.000km. Inside: Beige cloth interior looks dirty easily. Outside: Paint (black) very thin and shows scratches immediately (even fingernails in door handle moulds). Motor and technical aspects: Motor seems to need high revs to produce power, but fine for standard driving.

The best car ever! – Our 2011 Honda CRV Ltd Edn is the best car I've ever had. We upgraded from our Renault Scenic as our family was growing and we needed more boot space. After test driving other similar cars on the market (Kia Sportage, mazda CX7, Hyundai ix35 and Santa Fe) We decided on the Honda CRV Manual. It had the largest booty space and we also got the pet… Read more ·  1

and luggage barrier installed to maximise the space. It has great highway mileage and is smooth and comfortable to drive. I love it! fuel efficient, roomy, large boot

Excellent – I bought the Sport version back in September 2007 and I have been very happy with it. We have two growing boys and there is plenty of room in the back for long legs (and plenty of room between them to keep them apart!). I still haven't got the dimensions 100% when I am parking it but then I'm a girl (!) and have never been completely confident… Read more

with the length of cars! The full economy seems to be pretty good - when I am traveling on country roads I get less than 9L per 100kms but when I am just running around the suburbs taking the kids to and from sports/school etc it tends to be around 10.5L per 100km. The last two tank full I have only had an economy of about 11-11.5 per 100kms but that may be because it has been really hot and the air-cond. has been flat out constantly for the past couple of weeks. The ivory interior doesn't get too hot but it does show the marks. I have put some polar-fleece rugs on the seats to prevent too much dirt.... I haven't really taken it off road yet so I'm not sure how it goes there. The closest we have come is on dirt roads (fairly good condition ones) and the four-wheel drive cut in when needed. I would certainly recommend this car for families or just for around town. Really comfortable ride, great looks and plenty of room in the back Nothing yet!

Bad – Do not buy a honda bad experince for me and my family . If you realy like the car stick to the auto maybe. I love the look of the crv the handling is all good. We bought the crv 07 manual for saftey and relibilty, as we started a new family. Where do i start after 24 months with only 30.000 km on it the gear box strated to get noisy ticking noise,… Read more

chutering like, when i put the clutch in noise would go away. Took to dealership service centre which i bought from they kept the car for 5 weeks and rebuilt the gear box. After getting it back 2 weeks later the noise was back. Took back to dealership they brang a honda australia tech out and made the decison to put a new gear box in , i was happy thinking this would solve the problem. 2 weeks after getting the car back the noise has come back and worse the car does not idle wright when the aircon is turned on the car has a vibration, i took it back for the vibration they tryed to fix it but has not changed. The car has been booked in so be seen by the honda tech. We have a young family this has been a big let down by the honda prouduct we will never buy a honda again i will never recomend to any one in buying a honda. I hate driving my car due to the noises and the vibrations. Do not buy a honda.......

Not as great as expected – My mum bought the 2011 Honda CRV for $32,000. At first the whole family was very excited to have a ride having heard all the hype about the car, but soon realised the taxing effect of petrol cost it had at about $60-$70 a week. Although the car is very roomy and has a luxurious feel, especially with the raised seating, icy air-con and boot space,… Read more

I still have my doubts. The body roll around corners is terrifying, even gentle turns at a low speed. Visibility isn't great either, with the D pillar half obcuring the blind spot. We don't drive it around much - mainly to go grocery shopping or to pick up the kids from school, which doesn't cover much distance but still the dastardly thing manages to use up more than the expected 10L/10km. More like 11.5-12. As a P-Plater I absolutely do not recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a fuel efficient family car, but if you have some (or a lot) of spare money lying around, here's your little piece of luxury. Smooth ride, quiet, reliable, Fuel guzzler, horrible visibility especially out the blind spot, 'gentle' engine
