Honda CR-V 2.0i ES 5d (AC) (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Compared to rival models, appeared to have the same spec for a better price.
Costs
Fuel economy isn't amazing (25-30mpg). Insurance and servicing were fair. Appears to have very decent residual values.
-
On the road
Driving
The car has the famous SUV role, when going round corners but good for straight line cruising. Very good driving position.
Performance
Acceleration is fair. Little power in 5th gear. Never really tested offroad.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Owned the car for 3 years with no problem except a broken bearing which only meant a noisy wheel.
Image
Looks quite nice. Fairly 'butch' appearance.
Comfort
Seats offer little lower back support. Back seats have acceptable leg room, but anyone 6' 1" or taller will hit their head on the ceiling if in the back. Boot is larger than most 'soft roaders'.

Security and Service
Security
Comes with an immobiliser, but no alarm. I've never found out if it's easy to break into or not!
Service
Garage was helpful.
