Here in Indy, I see at least as many 02-06 CR-Vs as I do 97-01 CR-Vs, maybe even more. My mom has an '04 CR-V that was purchased used with 78k miles in '11 from someone that I used to go to high school with. The car had been in 1 accident prior to my mom purchasing it. My mom wrecked it a few months after she bought it, but got it fixed. She broke the driver's side mirror last year, and I replaced it. She's recently broke the passenger's side mirror, too, which still needs to be replaced. Yet after all that, it runs very well with 132k on it now. Other than the A/C compressor, it's been a very reliable beater--it has a smoother transmission than my '11 Accord, which just hit 100k! Gas mileage could be better, though (18 city / 22-24 highway). I had a friend that also had an '04 CR-V, but his had the 5-speed manual. Had at least 200k miles (or even 250k; it's been a few years), and it still ran beautifully.

Just a short story: My GF's '95 CR-V which we bought together came without A/C, we could not find a car that did. But I did not leave it at that. I went to a scrapyard and pulled some parts from a totaled CR-V. Lines, evap, some wiring, relays, A/C control panel everything but the pump. Never done this before. Installed, pressure tested it, vacuumized the system and filled it up. It was a late sweaty summer evening and the moment the cool air came from the vents I knew it would be worth it in the long run. Still works good after 1.5 years. Go Honda. Next project is to install a cyl head from a GSR (b18c4) and make it a vtec.

@AngeloHerrera-ow3po6 жыл бұрын
Douglas Au I replace the belts pretty often although admittedly I do not know the exact Milage. I just look for cracks in the belts and if I see any sign of wear I change it. I install a gates timing belt every 90k and as for the valve adjustment I do it myself, but considering the valves aren’t crazy out of whack it shouldn’t realistically run you more than 100. But the worse the valves, more labor= more money. It just depends. Preventative maintenance is best.
@dauwg996 жыл бұрын
That's not too bad at all! Damn, I wish I could learn how to adjust the valves myself. Sounds like a lot of precision work and tools. Sorry, I meant the timing belt. Every 90k sounds perfect. I'm thinking about getting a 1998 with 160,000 miles, but last timing belt was at 100,000 miles. Sounds like it is due for a service. Super clean, but the engine bay looks kinda dirty...you think that's a bad sign?

I guess he read about it in the owner's manual, but figured it was an optional cover that went across level with the top of the seats. Sort of like a privacy cover in some station wagons and SUVs. It didn't occur to him it was built into the floor.

I bought a 2001 GT AWD CR-V 3 years ago that had 180 000 km on it, only thing I had to do on it is regular maintenance (oil change), replaced the battery, exhaust and recently replaced the driver's side window regulator. I paid it cash, spent about 800$ in repairs in 3 years, I do my own repairs, so that saves money. But this is the most reliable car I ever owned and I've owned a couple new cars before. Except for the rusted rear fenders, The car has less rattles than any new or slightly used Dodge or Chrysler for sure. Almost anything on this thing can be fixed with just lubrication or cleaning. I had the brake light come on during winter, it's was only the float in the master cylinder sticking on, a little wiggle up and down, problem solved. I had problems with the passenger side door lock not always locking, removing the door panel, lubricated the motor and putting it back together, problem solved. You tube is your friend when it comes to fixing the CR-V but it's quite easy to fix compare to other newer cars if you are mechanically incline. With the harsh winters we have here in Quebec, I will try to keep and maintain this car for as long as I can. Next summer, I will get the rusted fenders fixed. The only splurge I made on the car was to install a Pionneer Carplay compatible radio headunit. I think even if the car is 17 years old, I still deserve a little ' modern technology' in my daily driver. This is by far my favorite car I have ever owned, My previous car was a new 2009 Suzuki SX4 5 speed AWD that I absolutely hated the whole 5 years I had it. I've owned a brand new Jeep YJ 1992, The CRV has the much better AWD system for daily use in the snow, You'll never get stuck anywhere or ever have to take out the shovel to get out of your parking spot. I wish I had bought this CRV brand new, I think it would have been the first and last new car I ever bought, if I had bought one brand new it would surely be in a better shape than the one I bought 3 years ago. But still, a testament to what the first gen CR-V were. This is how reliable most car should be. Not the exception.

I have a 1999 EX. It was my parents car until they picked up a newer CRV. Its been great for all those Michigan winters. The only bad thing is all the years of salt corrosion has done a toll. Every peice I've had to replace was because of salt corrosion. Brake lines rusted, panels rusting, etc. I'm actually in the middle of changing out my radiator, which isn't so bad considering its been 18 years. Luckily replacement parts are cheap so long as you don't buy it from Clear Lake Honda. My driver side inside door handle did suddenly snap though. Honda of Clear Lake wanted $80 for it. Luckily you can find it online for about $5-$10 .

My family used to have a 2001 CR-V SE with Realtime 4WD (actually AWD) up until July 2013. It was a great vehicle, since my mom drove it to work. Now we have the 2014 Forester Touring with EyeSight, which has a similar layout as the first-generation CR-V on the dash, except the shifter and the brand new gadgets.
@ThisGuyRides8 жыл бұрын
Realtime 4WD is not AWD at all. It is front WD normally to conserve gas, and only if front drive wheel slips power is sent to opposite side rear wheel. So at the most only 2 wheels get power.

I still own my 1997 CR-V! 200,000+ miles and 22 years old, still going strong. I'm keeping it until it falls apart. It has been inexpensive to maintain and service, it seldom breaks down, and is the most intuitive vehicle I've ever owned. Things are where they should be and work like you think they will. I recently bought a Subaru Forester and it's no Honda. I couldn't find another gen 1 to buy or I would have.

Ten years ago, when I was looking to buy one, I couldn't decide between the CRV or Rav 4. My mechanic told me to go to the CRV. It was the best advice that I have ever had. I loved the car so much that I now have the gen 2 model, and I still use the old one for work.

@@pgo2372 wasn’t just the picnic table. A center console that dropped so more space can open up. And something that Honda stopped in newer offerings - in this first generation, you could take off the headrests in the front seats, recline all the way back & it would perfectly line up to the edge of the rear bench - forming a flat sleeping surface. This car was ahead of the van life movement.
