The Honda CR-V is a fantastic car. Whether you have a 2.0L B20 as offered in the 1997-1991 CR-V, K24A1 engine from the 2002-2006 CR-V, or K24Z1 from 2007-2009, you have a car with a fantastic drivetrain. What many customers find themselves frustrated with is the cooling system.

You see, the CR-V shipped with a radiator that is small. It does an adequate job of cooling but it works very, very hard. Not only does it have to cool the engine, but it has to cool the transmission as well - and many people pull small boats and trailers with their CR-V, which the vehicle wasn't designed for.

The most common place a CR-V radiator fails is on the tanks. Located at the top and bottom of the radiator itself, the tanks are typically made of plastic. Plastic is definitely able to do the job, but it just doesn't handle heat over time as well as metal. Further, when you use a plastic tank against aluminum, you have to seal and crimp the tank to the core. This just provides an area for the radiator to leak at some point in the future.

The answer to this problem is an all aluminum radiator. Let me say one thing before I go any further. You don't need an aluminum radiator. Plastic tank, aluminum core radiators do the job fine, and the failures are very small. But that said, I almost never see failures on all aluminum radiators.

So what makes an all aluminum radiator better?

First, the all aluminum radiator has the tank welded to the core. Solid metal, not a sealer, prevents leaks. Secondly, aluminum is a lot stronger than plastic, meaning that the chance of the tank cracking is minimalized.

You might expect to pay more for something this much better, but the price differences are usually minimal. For example for a 1997-2001 CR-V radiator, one online retailer currently has about a $21.77 difference. That is money well spent!

Most Improved Luxury Cars For 2008

Every four to seven years, car manufacturers generally make extreme makeovers to their models, introducing new ones and completely revamping the old favorites.

However, every second year or so, car manufacturers get feedback from Hong Kong car dealers as well as focus groups to determine what they should do to improve the next year's models. Everybody can ask, but it takes extra talent to listen and enact consumer solutions, so here we look at the companies that have done it best.

Perhaps the most innovative response to a consumer request has come from Mercedes - makers of the new Mercedes SL found from consumers that they wanted a longer top-down driving season. While the weather is not within their power, and nor is the perception of temperature by drivers, they still managed to find a solution.

Mercedes SL vehicles now come with a vent in the headrest to blow warm air onto the necks of the driver and passenger, making having the top down infinitely more comfortable. This Mercedes vehicle also has improved styling for this year, with a center chrome strip, bulges on the hood, and power domes.

The Infiniti FX 35/50 was first introduced in 2003 and hasn't had a makeover until now. Consumers wanted all the basics of the Infiniti improved - Hong Kong luxury car dealers reported that consumers wanted better performance, better luxury, and also better fuel efficiency. Infiniti rose to the challenge well, though - there has been a 70 horsepower improvement in the 5 liter V8 model, up to 390 from 320, and despite this power increase the model now gets 3 extra miles per gallon, up to 20 when driving on the highway.

In terms of luxury, while it does not compare to Mercedes vehicles, the Infiniti now has quilted leather seats and 200% more wood in the interior - hand-stained maple.

Some consumer requests were quite easy to fulfil - a common ask for the Audi A4 was that it have more cup holders. This has been implemented on the 2008 model (there is a total of four more large cup holders), as well as the trickier suggestions of more aggressive styling and a roomier interior. There are larger intakes and a shorter overhang in the front of this Audi model. Inside, there is 1.4 more inches or rear knee room, as well as more head, leg and shoulder room all round.

One of the most mechanically involved improvement for 2008 was to the Nissan Maxima. Consumers reported to premium car dealers in Hong Kong that they wanted the performance of a manual transmission for the Maxima - instead of merely making a manual alternative, Nissan have created DS mode, which allows drivers the advantages of a manual, without the effort of using a clutch or gearshift.

A sport cockpit feel was another request, and Nissan have reduced the interior volume, as well as improving the exterior by creating curvier roof lines and a wider track.

At the lower end of the premium car market in Hong Kong is the Acura TSX, which was introduced in 2003 and just upgraded. Improved road noise was a common ask by drivers, as well as better fuel economy and interior room.

All these wants have been catered to, with an extra passenger volume space of 3.5 feet, a quieter ride, and an improvement of 1 mpg in fuel efficiency.
