1997 Honda CR-V EXL 4WD review from North America
"Not sexy, but runs great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I ripped off the brake light cover when I was loading something into the car.
Driver's side power window is getting a bit slow.
Automatic transmission downshifts a bit more rough than it used to.
General comments?
This is a seriously reliable, workmanlike car. It definitely won't win any acceleration battles, but it has enough power. Runs great and pretty decent with gas if you keep it under 85 mph.
