As Perth’s leading used auto parts specialist with over 15 years of industry experience, we know that finding trustworthy, budget-friendly parts can be the difference between getting back on the road quickly and facing costly repairs.
This latest addition exemplifies everything that made the Honda CRV a household name – uncompromising reliability, practical design, and that legendary Japanese engineering quality.

The Honda CRV 2006: Proven Reliability That Stands the Test of Time
The 2006 Honda CRV represents the second generation of Honda’s compact SUV success story, and there’s good reason why so many of these vehicles are still running strong today. This model year sits in the sweet spot of automotive evolution – modern enough to offer contemporary features, yet simple enough to be easily maintained and repaired.
Under the hood, you’ll find Honda’s bulletproof 2.4-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine, a powerplant that has earned legendary status among mechanics and owners alike. This engine produces 160 horsepower while delivering impressive fuel economy, making it perfect for both city commuting and weekend adventures. The i-VTEC technology provides smooth power delivery across the RPM range, contributing to the CRV’s reputation for longevity.
The Real Time 4WD system in this generation offers seamless traction control without the complexity of modern all-wheel-drive systems. This means fewer things can go wrong while still providing confidence on slippery roads or light off-road situations. For Perth drivers who occasionally venture beyond the city limits, this system provides peace of mind without unnecessary complexity.
What makes the silver finish particularly appealing is its timeless elegance and practical benefits. Silver paint hides minor scratches and swirl marks better than darker colors while maintaining a clean, professional appearance that works equally well for business or family use. This color choice has remained popular among Australian buyers because it complements the CRV’s clean, functional design language.
The interior of the 2006 CRV focuses on practicality and durability rather than flashy features. The dashboard layout prioritizes functionality, with controls placed where you’d naturally reach for them. The seats are designed for long-term comfort and feature durable materials that can withstand years of regular use. These elements combine to create a driving environment that feels solid and dependable.

Economic Advantages of Choosing Quality Used Parts
