1999 Honda CR-V LX review from North America
"This car is slightly above average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cable for the passenger side interior door latch has broken twice.
The engine threw a valve at 65000 miles and ran on 3 cylinders for a while.
The power windows have little raising power left.
The check engine light often comes on in cold weather.
General comments?
This car has less fit and finish quality than other Honda's I have owned. The engine is loud and buzzy and could probably use a top gear with lower RPM. What I like about the CRV is it has great foward visibility. The CRV handles well in snow and icy conditions. For a SUV, the CRV gets reasonable gas mileage, we average about 25mpg, and it is spacious enough to haul a good deal of cargo.
