1998 Honda CR-V EX review from North America
"The best, little, car I've ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, has gone wrong with this Honda since day one!
General comments?
I don't know, where others get these ideas of "under powered", etc.
If they wish to purchase something fast and quick, then WHY, did they buy an SUV to begin with?
SUVs are not MEANT to be "sports cars"!
As to "Fit and Finish"... nothing, on the market today, can even come CLOSE to Honda quality!
I've owned a KIA Sportage and in one word???... "CRAP"! The GEO, my brother owns, is in the shop, more often, than on the road.
After 121,00 miles with my 1998 CR-V, I've changed the timing belt, at 70,000 as recommended and changed the oil...period.
When this one dies, I'll replace it with another CR-V, no questions asked!
