Pros: reliable, roomy, well-built Cons: needs more power,no passenger seat armrest The Bottom Line: You can't do better in an SUV without paying a whole lot more. I like it so much I'm going to keep it and buy a 2003 model.

PROS:

Pros: Great on fuel, roomy Cons: Not enough guts
My husband and I love Hondas. I owned a Civic CX when I was single and loved the way it handled. I never had any problems with it either and I guess you could say that is why I tend to only lean towards Honda. When my hubby and I got...

Pros: Price, gas mileage, handling Cons: Lack of power
I have now put over 45000 worry free miles on my EX CRV. I have had absolutely no problems what so ever. My only real complaint is the lack of power from the engine. However, I still feel at the time of purchase it is the overall best mini-SUV on the...

Pros: handling, reliability, price Cons: no package security
We bought our Honda CRV in August 1998 after shopping around and seeing all that is out there. We decided on the Honda because of it's history of reliability and price range. I would recommend it for singles or families who like a little extra room for...

Pros: good gas mileage, good value for cost, lots of room, versatile, attractive design, all power options available Cons: 4-cylinder
When our first child came along, we had a Geo Prizm and a Saturn sports car. Well, our battery died in the Prizm and our baby became very ill. So, we proceeded to pack us 3 in the Saturn coupe. With both of our long legs and the infant car seat, we...

Pros: Overall size Cons: Don't buy the factory rack!
I bought a 1998 CR-V for its overall size for I did not want a Ford Explorer size SUV. In addition, I own a '87 Honda Prelude with over 220,000 miles and previously owned a 1978 Honda Accord Hatchback. Due to my satisfaction with the Hatchback and...

Pros: Roomy, comfortable, nice family vechicle Cons: No pick up and go.
In February 1998 my husband and I found out we were expecting a baby. Looking at our cars parked outside we realized my small 1990 two door coup would have to go. So we started car shopping. We couldn't afford a full sized SUV and didn't want a...

Pros: Roomy, seat height, column steering Cons: controls, blind spot
With our first child coming, I was ready to trade in my 11 year-old Honda Civic and opt for a vehicle that offered more accessibility when loading a baby and all the baby stuff.
Loyal to Honda, we checked out the CR-V '98 and I immediately...

Pros: Great handling, roomy interior, reliable Cons: not good for hauling really large things
The Honda CR-V is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. The minute I even got in it for the test drive, I fell in love. We were looking at other SUV's prior to the CR-V, but all of them were just priced too high. Then we saw the CR-V and knew...

Pros: Lots of room ; small enough to park easily Cons: Hard to see when backing up
I researched my CRV for several months before purchasing it last week. I got the 1998 EX in Silver. I am very please so far, especially with how much room is actually inside. It is very easy to park. I live in a metropolitan area where the parking...

Pros: Outstanding Head Room, Storage, Comfort and Class. Cons: Not a lot of "Get up and GO!", Strange feeling steering wheel.
My husband and I purchased our black 1998 Honda CR-V primarily because we wanted comfort AND class. Over a several month period, we tested many SUVs, including makes from Toyota, Kia, Jeep and Subaru. It all came down to price vs. quality.

Pros: size, reliability, comfort Cons: no armrest for passenger side
I test drove this car just to kill time as my old car was being appraised and bought it an hour later. I like how it is has the suv size, but handles like a much smaller car. It is not as clumsy and big as the jeep and allows the driver to whip in and...

I own a 1998 CR-V. We decided to purchase this vehicle for several reasons. My husband and I need a "family car" as we were trying to start a family, and we needed something that we could afford. We drove several different makes and models...

Pros: Dependability, comfortable backseats, roominess Cons: Gear ratio too high, auto-trans shifts too much
My wife and I purchased our CRV as a replacement to my wife's love of her Ford Explorer which was traded in. As the CRV is considered a sub-SUV, it's hard to compare it to other SUV's such as the Explorer. However, as a owner of two previous Honda's, I...

Pros: Good gas mileage, drives nicely, very roomy interior.. Cons: Cruise control loses speed on inclines.
After doing a lot of research and comparing many vehicles I decided to purchase the Honda CRV. I have been driving it now for about a year and a half. My overall opinion of the little sport utility is that I love it. I just recently had a baby so the...
