Honda CR-V (1997 - 2001) 2.0i LS 5d Auto (AC) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
I am second owner of the 23 year old car, I have really made it work hard, loaded with heavy steel and wood and tools. And it keeps running like a champ. Going up very steep hills it drops into a lower gear. But most other cars do too. This is an analog car, 2001 electronics. I get 26 +- mpg 100 miles per quarter tank, so could go 400 miles.
I love the "tire on the back" and I see this first generation Honda CR-V almost every day on the road. I think it is a joy to drive. I equate it to a fish, a tall skinny fish that is easy to drive away from the other wide cars and trucks. This is my 5th car, and third Honda. I plan to keep it as long as possible. Oh, I bought it for 3k and likely put in about 10k. Tires, power steering, muffler, brake and shocks...NYC potholes are incredible. The old a/c works great! I want to change it but would you? 170k miles and 23 years old?
