HONDA CR-V 4x4 1997‑2001

12 years old over 160.000 miles drives like new never had any problems in these years of happy reliable motoring way to go Honda for me.

I was looking for a smallish 4x4 for where i live, my main concern for me is my size, i have looked at other vehicles and there dont seem to be enough room behind the Wheel, i was very pleasantly surprised for the amount of room i had. for the area i live in was suits me very well for the vehicle. i use the car for commuting to work, if i was to say the one bad thing about the vehicle is thats the fuel economy seems to be no existant.

~The overall handling of the vehicle and the smoothness of the ride i like, and being automatic i liked how responsive this vehicle is.

overall very happy with the car, just want the fuel economy to be a little better, but heh cant have evrerything.

i HAVE HAD THIS CAR SOME TIME IT HAS COVERED SOME 166000 MILES NEVER HAVE ANY TROUBLE .1 OF THE FIRST CARS WITH BUILT IN SAT NAV AND FULL LEATHER GREAT CAR.

Not the most exciting car to drive and not the most exciting car to own. BUT!!!!!! It is quite simply the most reliable car we have ever owned. In over 10 years ownership (bought secondhand) it has never failed to start and never broken down. At 144000 miles it has a few squeaks and groans but we now know this car well enough not to worry about them.

A little thirsty on petrol but that is compensated for by low servicing costs and repairs limited to tyres, exhaust and battery. Takes tons of luggage and the dogs as well. Interior in remarkably good condition considering the abuse it has taken.

All this and a picnic table as well.

I started my own cake business and needed a bigger car for delivering etc, I went for the CRV due to practicality and Hondas great reputation (it was that or a Nissan), I love the CRV, it is the best car I have had, in the snow it was amazing last year, it is safe, reliable and is a joy to drive.

If you wants a safe, cost effective, relaible car, that is fab on short journeys or still comfy after 4 hours driving it is ideal.

I bought my 10 year old CRV back in July 11 in preparation for the winter weather possibly coming our way.

On first impressions compared with my main car it is very basic ,it has little squeaks and rattles but with a squirt of oil they go away.

It,s no get away car ,in fact it would have problems pulling your duvet off your bed ,BIG BUT though,its the most practical simple non complicated car I have ever owned ,we all need a little less stress now and then and this car provides that feeling .Turn the key and away it goes , does exactly what it says on the tin.You end up loving it for it,s still modern looks and hey it,s not 40k worth of worry when you park it up .Swing out tail gate ,pick-nick table in the boot ,it just feels like a big warm hug.My wife drives a people carrier and she prefers the CRV.

Visibility is top notch.

Economy is JUST ok.

To summarise it feels usable ,practical and reliable.

If you DON;T need to scale a mountain and want a little bit more drive in poor weather and piece of mind this is the car for you ,highly recommended .

Drive this machine anywhere in UK at anytime without having any secong thoughts. It is so reliable car I have ever experiance. It is although 2 ltr petrol but still the petrol consumption is very impressive. If you are planniing to go for camping, shopping or any outdoor event then this car have a massive storage room at back. No mechanical or electronic fault, ready to go....

Probably one of the best 4x4 cars ever.

Spacious and comfortable driving.

Very Reliable and very affordable for small family.

We bought this car 12 years ago,new from a Honda dealer and we have never had a problem with it. The car has a full service history with the Honda dealer. Due to the fact that we live in a town the exterior body work has a few scratches and the interior is warn but in good condition. It has been the perfect family car for a growing family and dog. The boot size is great and the ability to lower the back seats enables one to use it to transport bigger goods.

I will describe my car as follow;

- Sound engine

- Compact body, no rust

- Almost new tyres

- I have three kids and a spouse, and this suites my life style both at

home as well as at work, as it is spacious and graceful.

- The colour is original, no touching.

- In spite of being automatic its cost is reasonable.

- You make a mind to go any where and the car is ready.

- Simply passed MOT no where tare required.
