    This car has been great to drive. The only problem Ive has is drivers side power mirror stopped working in 20 below weather in Upper Michigan last winter. It magically started working again.. I recommend this car to everyone.. I usually get 22.5mpg highway @ 70-75mph

  • Reliable 4 wd commuter with fun to boot! - 2001 Honda CR-V

    I bought my 2001 LX in May, 2001 and its ran great as of this writing (August 2002). My purchase criteria were: 4 ddors, 4wd, PS, PB, AC, CD player, Good MPG (>25 hwy), good looks, Comfort, Safety, and Strong V6. I got all of these but two: Comfort and a strong V6. I decided to go ahead and buy after driving the 4 cyl. Its not as strong as a V6, but it moves the vehicle just fine and gets good MPG. The seats arent too comfortable though. And lack of front passenger armrest is a mystery? Its needed!

    Purchased a leftover with an internet special at a good price. That was in Oct 01, since then, not a lick of trouble. Just about the perfect size for us. Easy to park on our local city streets AND fits into our rented garage. Good mileage- just about 24- 26mpg of mixed city/mostly highway. Its great to be able to carry golf clubs AND passengers which was a bit tough in the old Neon.

    Got a great deal on my 2001 Honda CRV- EX last summer (its still worth more than I paid). Almost had it a year and simply love this vehicle for trips around town or to my favorite outdoor get aways. Ive added several upgrades i.e. better stereo components, retractable cargo cover, cargo mat, bike racks, etc. Even looked into adding a supercharger or VTEC kit to add some extra horsepower but refrained because the CRV has enough horses to suit my purposes. Now that the 2002 CRV has been introduced, a 1998-2001 model makes for a great used car bargain.

    this car drags on the gear too long to get this thing moving. Also when you turn on the fan for cool vent air the a/c turns itself on when defrosting too. Passenger front seat doesnt have a power lock to match the driver side.

  • I love my car - 2001 Honda CR-V

    I bought a 2001 CRV-EX well below invoice in October. This is my first car and this has certainly set the bar high for all to follow. Surprisingly comfortable for a small SUV. Honda has done a great job distributing space. Fun to drive, I use it only in the city and on highways. My only minor complaint is that the engine is a little noisy once you go above 40mph. The title of this review says it all. Thanks Honda.

    Very fun car to drive. Yes the knocks are that its not a true off-roader. and some dont even call it an SUV, but a wagon. i still think otherwise. some people say that the engine is weak. the car does feel heavy at times, but i think SOLID is a better description. i for one have had no problems with the 146 hp output. yes the car could be slightly quieter, but you can still tell the Honda refinement in the car over a longer period (1 year -4 years) than you can in any other car.

  • CRV-best car on the road - 2001 Honda CR-V
