  Practical, bulletproof - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By Mark - December 5 - 5:19 pm

  A very practical family car if you dont need to carry more than 4. Lots of cargo capacity, though long items require some creativity. All maintenance has been preventative and at reasonable cost - its never left me stranded. No problems at all in snow - Ive driven in 6-8" depths without an issue. Performance is nearly nonexistent with just the driver and decreases rapidly with payload. High-speed cornering fraught with uncertainty as one might expect with skinny tires and a high center of gravity. I get a very consistent 25 mpg with a 70% highway/30% city mix at 127K miles.

  Best Vehicle Owned - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By Hugh - August 17 - 7:29 pm

  I bought this CR-V with 41,000 miles on it, and now have 156,000 on it. Change oil at 3000 miles always with a Honda dealer. Have had 2 minor brake jobs, set of struts, 1 radiator, 1 back-up light, timing belt with belts and water pump (at same time) these were not generic. My son is a cert. mech. wiper blades 2 times,2 tune ups, 3 sets of tires. Only lasting problem is in the hot Texas summers my auto tranny does not want to shift at certain times, it kinda hangs in gear until I give it more gas. I take it in and have the tranny oil changed (3 qt.) 3 times a year, thats a lot cheaper than an AT overhaul or new tranny. Gas mileage never less than 24 to 25 tollway/city.

  Very Practical Ride - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By Bob - May 4 - 9:59 pm

  Great Utility vehicle and super reliable. I cant believe how much stuff will fit in the back with seats down. I practically remodeled an entire house without needing a truck.

  Satisfied - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By Ann - January 27 - 4:47 pm

  I bought my 1999 CRV new and have been very satisfied with its reliability and functionality. I haul around a dog, groceries, sports equipment and kids with backpacks. I cant think of another car that is better suited for what I need. I owned two Camrys prior to this CRV and I can say for sure that the CRVs interior features are poorer quality than Toyota and here are some examples: stereo was horrible in the CRV but good in the Camry, air conditioning is horrible in the CRV but awesome in the Camry. The CRV doesnt have much "get up and go" if I need to accelerate quickly from a stop. I LOVE the AWD feature and it is fun to drive in the snow.

  I have had my 1999 Honda CR-V for about 5 years. My main complaint about it is has no get up and go. When I hit the gas, it is pretty sluggish. I put some aftermarket things in it to improve gas mileage. It is a very reliable car, though, and it gets me where I want to go.

  A jack of all trades... - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By gericked - December 11 - 3:18 pm

  I moved to the mountainous region of Tenn. from Florida and had to reluctantly trade in my BMW 328 for a vehicle that was more suitable. I loved my BMW... dont get me wrong, but I have no regrets. My CR-V was used with 72000 miles and have now 104000 miles. I have had no problems. Maintenence is too easy! This vehicle does what a vehicle is supposed to do and more. It performs and handles like a car, yet can haul a washing machine. It can go off paved roads, as well as take my business associates to lunch and I always get comments on it. This car is a status symbol: means you are can do it all.

  THE car I was looking for - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By JEMO - November 10 - 2:45 am

  Just an idea of how reliable this car is. I bought this 99 in 04, having seen it on a website. I checked the background THOROUGHLY through several agencies. Not only was this car still in incredible shape, it had that wonderful record of reliability. It has not disappointed me a year later. Still looks great and runs like a dream. I think this car called to me from that website. Thank goodness.

  We put a lot of miles on our Honda. Its got over 130,000 and still running like a dream. Its never failed us, gets pretty reasonable gas milage, and is comfortable to drive. We have used the included table more times than you could imagine, camping, grilling out, tailgating, you name it. Its easy to fold down the seats for extra corgo room. We have used the cargo space a lot when landscaping or working on our home projects. We plan to buy nothing but Hondas from now on!

  The Little SUV that can - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By bill wegner - June 12 - 5:26 am

  Having stepped out of a 92 CaravanES- awd to my CRV has been quite an eye opener.Its not as big,as heavy,as clumsy,or as thirsty as my dodge was.It handles quite gracefully in dry,wet and snow.I feel very safe and planted while driving.My gas mileage, one of the reasons I bought it has gone from 14 city(Dodge) on a good tank to 20mpg like clockwork in the CRV.The highway mileage is about a draw at 23-25.I cant stuff 7 people in it but 5 will fit in a pinch and Ill actually have room in the back for luggage or groceries. With a full platoon in the Dodge there is no room left for anything else.(I guess thats why they had a grand) Quiet,reliable,easy in and out,and cute to boot! A keeper!

  Northern Michigan CRV - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By newzboy - July 29 - 2:00 am

  This car is very capable. The on- demand all wheel drive is a big help here in Northern Michigan where winters can be very harsh. I wish it had more power to challenge hills though. It sounds like a buzz bomb when its climbing hills. I heard the newer models do have a more powerful engine. The automatic transmission was a little herky-jerky...some hard shifts here and there. You wouldnt know it by looking at it from the outside, but the interior is very roomy for this size vehicle. Theres plenty of legroom both front and back. The cargo area is also quite adequate. All in all, this is a pretty fine little SUV.
