1999 Honda CR-V review from Ecuador
"Right size, fun performing, just buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Until know, some water leaking (car was previously painted) on front windshield, sun-roof working badly, cardan maintenance, steering wheel seems to be 30 year old.
General comments?
It has been only three months that I own this car, and in this time it has been working nice. Preventive maintenance has been done, with front paliers, hoses, brake pads and cardan.
My upgrade is from a 1.3 l to this nice 2.0 l engine, and it performs very nice up here in the Andes and with the same gas mileage.
Slippery surfaces are this SUV's habitat, real-time 4wd works perfect.
