2001 Honda CR-V LX review from North America
"Best buy in the Mini-SUV class"
General comments?
Honda CRV gives you many extras for the price, in comparison to "add-ons" with most other brands.
Almost everything is standard.
They are always making changes in response to owner feedback.
We like this Mini-SUV a lot.
Higher ground clearance and more room than "Cars".
But still good gas mileage and reasonable power.
My wife gets 25 MPG driving around the county.
And even better (27 MPG) on the highway.
We both think it handles great.
This FWD vehicle handles most all beat-up highway stuff, but I don't think it is really a true "off-road" vehicle.
So, the spare tire outside on the back is more for image than anything else.
Some may consider this a negative.
Also, the seats are a little bit hard.
21,000 miles now, no problems at all.
