General Comments:

I have only had the CR-V for two weeks, but have logged over 3000Ks with little disappointment.

I have no complaints with the power, the CR-V cruises at 130kms no problem.

Interior is moderately comfortable, but it is not a plush SUV, it is a little work horse.

I will post again once I have had it longer.

Faults:

We purchased the car from a private owner who was desperate for money (paid $1,000). It was in need of a head gasket, and had been poorly cared for. My husband is a mechanic, so we went ahead and replaced the whole motor.

I'm not sure if the following is a result of poor ownership or poor quality craftsmanship. The vehicle seems rickety, like a tin can when driving on a highway. I have owned several vehicles in my lifetime, and this reminds me of a cheaply made old style Hyundai (before they became reliable).

I am slightly disappointed to find that although this is an EX model, and my other Honda is a year older (97 Accord SE), it has less convenience options on it. For instance, the windows do not work once the key is off, and there is no gas cap holder. It may sound petty, but I have become well adjusted to these in my Accord. I would have expected a car that is newer and technically better option wise, to have these in it.

I have seen others complain about the lack of power, but it is sufficient enough for my needs, and is exactly what I would expect from a 4-CYL in an SUV. I am still a loyal Honda owner, and I don't expect that to change. They keep their value better than most other makes of car and more than surpass the 100K mileage mark with no problems. (my Accord currently has 260K on it)

General Comments:

It has excellent storage space, cup holders, and the picnic table that comes standard is a neat extra.

I'm a loyal Honda owner, I have had several different models (CRX, CR-V, Prelude and Accord) Honda is the most reliable manufacturer of cars around today.

It seems to be good at handling corners, and is excellent on gas.

Faults:

Nothing, has gone wrong with this Honda since day one!

General Comments:

I don't know, where others get these ideas of "under powered", etc.

If they wish to purchase something fast and quick, then WHY, did they buy an SUV to begin with?

SUVs are not MEANT to be "sports cars"!

As to "Fit and Finish"... nothing, on the market today, can even come CLOSE to Honda quality!

I've owned a KIA Sportage and in one word???... "CRAP"! The GEO, my brother owns, is in the shop, more often, than on the road.

After 121,00 miles with my 1998 CR-V, I've changed the timing belt, at 70,000 as recommended and changed the oil...period.

When this one dies, I'll replace it with another CR-V, no questions asked!

Faults:

The Honda CR-V is a wonderful vehicle.

We have 222000 miles on the truck now and it shows no sign of dying. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone.

We fully intend to purchase another CR-V when we sell this one down the road.

There has been next to nothing in repairs other than the normal maintenance

Gas mileage is OK, but I feel the engine is not large enough, 6 cyl would be better.
