Pros: Value, Reliability, Style, Space
Cons: Not too speedy when fully loaded
The Bottom Line: A great choice for growing families who want some style without breaking the budget.
I've long considered reviewing my 1999 Honda CR-V, but only when invited by Wolfman309 to participate in this write-off in memory of the highly regarded Epinionator, Roadiem, did I finally muster up enough courage to enter the...

Pros: It's a great all-around vehicle
Cons: It's not mine
My first comment on the 1999 Honda CR-V? It has more room inside than out. I really said that. Out loud. I don't think I've ever been in a roomier compact model.
My father recently purchased a used 1999 Honda CR-V All Wheel...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Almost perfect interior, Honda reliability.
Cons: Anemic, loud engine w/ automatic. "Marginal" rating in off-set crash tests.
Imagine with me, if you will, a game of "King of the Mountain" that is taking place within the relatively new mini-ute market. There was a time when things were calm on the warfront, with the toy-like Suzuki Sidekick and the aged Jeep...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great mileage, Honda reliability
Cons: Slightly harsh ride, no other cons (it's a Honda)
With rising gas prices, Honda has a real winner in the CR-V. It gets great gas mileage (approx. 30 MPG average) even with the automatic transmission. It is a joy to drive: handles just like a Honda car, the ride is not TOO harsh, and can be parked in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good power in low gears, good mileage, good storage
Cons: Stick shift somewhat sticky, annoying blind spot
The engine, while only a 4-cylinder, provides enough power to merge into heavy traffic, although I tend to attribute this more to the manual transmission. The automatic model I test-drove seemed a tad sluggish, even with the overdrive feature engaged....

Pros: Everything is top-notch Honda reliable
Cons: Disappointing local gas mileage
The Bottom Line: Top notch craftsmanship from a proven builder of reliable vehicles
Bought my CR-V brand new almost 2 1/2 years ago--I use it mainly for going to work and back (3 miles each way) so that will explain why at this point in time I only have about 7200 miles on it--In the time I have had this car, there has been absolutely...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: gas mileage, will last a long time, warranty
Cons: needs more horsepower still, noisy engine
I purchased the CR-V because I looked for a vehicle that had good gas mileage. It also needed to be roomy enough for me, my tall friends, and even my chubby friends. I also knew that I wanted a SUV (trailer hitch, roof rack, 4WD). I didn't want a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Chocked with Features, Stylish and Purposeful
Cons: Needs a bigger engine - 4 Cylinder Doesn't Cut It
My wife decided it was time for a more “substantial” vehicle than her Honda Civic coupe, since her morning commute often finds her sandwiched between larger Sport Utilities (SUV’s). If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, so we were off to the dealerships. We...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great in bad weather, easy to drive.
Cons: Can get uncomfortable for three people or three kids with car seats.
The Bottom Line: Great for a family with one or less children, or for someone who needs to get around in bad weather.
You can get the specs on this car from a car website. I would like to give you a mother's perspective on this SUV.
I spent a lot of time shopping around for a car by visiting web sites, test driving cars, and reading Consumer Reports. My goal...

Pros: Everything
Cons: nothing
I have a black 99 Honda CR-V and I love it. I'm into sports utility cars and I think that my car is a cute sports utility car. I've wanted this car for a while and I got it from my parents. It rides smoothly. The car is roomy and has a lot of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Honda quality, Compact but with space
Cons: No passing power, Not all "Honda-type" design cues are evident
We recently came upon one year of ownership with our CRV-EX 4wd model in the deep blue. We were surprised a lot of its build logic and qualities weren't exactly of the Honda caliber to which we were accustomed. We have owned a new Accord every 2 years...

We start shopping around for cars last year after my husband's car broke down. I was using a Honda Civic at the time and was very pleased with the performance. When we were in the Honda dealer, we realized Honda CR-V was a nice looking car..We didnt...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: spacious, well-designed, lots of mpg, reliable
Cons: not designed for real winter or offroad use
Ideally, I would have liked to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee when I went car-hunting last May, but our finances didn't quite stretch that far, so I decided to look at some of the smaller SUVs on the market.Consumer Reports had rated the Subaru Forester top...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordable, Decent gas milage, Fun
Cons: Somewhat underpowered, not very "Rugged".
The CR-V is another Car-Based "SUV" designed to cash in on the trend of "Rugged Utility Vehicles", and it appears to have performed this task admirably. But what lies underneath the flashy paint and the (admittedly nifty) picnic...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: easy to handle, safe, 4WD
Cons: no arm rests
I spent a long time researching 4WD trucks, cars and SUVs. I narrowed it down to the Subaru Forestor and the Honda CRV. I test drove both. In the end there was just no way to justify spending an extra 5 thousand dollars to get the Forestor. The CRV...
