1999 Honda CR-V EX review from North America
"The perfect small SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition Switch Recall.
General comments?
While my fiance was the one who chose the CR-V, I'm glad she did! This has been one of the most enjoyable vehicles to drive that I've ever owned.
The seats could be a little more comfortable, but after many long trips (a couple of over 3,000 miles) I've learned how to adjust the seats to fit me.
Good mileage for a small SUV: 25 MPG around town, 29+ MPG highway.
