2000 Honda CR-V - A real workhorse

At first I was skeptical when I purchased this car. I had never owned anything but Fords. My family always purchased Fords and were known at the Ford dealership. However, when my main car (a Ford Taurus) went out, my family needed car as soon as possible to maintain our jobs, take the kids to school and do everyday errands. This was the fastest, cheapest car that we could afford at that time. This car has never let me down. In snow, in ice, and in mud it drives well and hasn't gotten stuck or slid off the road. The engine and components are not only easy to work on but also cheap to buy. I have replaced brakes, pads, cylinders, lines, and the radiator muffler system due to wear and tear over the years. And, on top of that, I always do my own oil changes, and this car has lasted throug... (more)

Story

We have always taken this car to the country every year to do the corn mazes in the fall. They are off the beaten trail but always fun. The gas isn't expensive in my car, versus my wife's SUV, and this can handle most terrain.

Pros

I love the interior. Everything is made to be cleaned. The center console folds down, and the cup holders disappear into the dash for streamline effect. The seat is extremely adjustable for an older car. Mine has a leather interior, so it's ok to clean if anything spills. In the original plans, they had a table that was made into the back that we could use. Can you believe it, they also provide you furniture. If only I knew about this car when I was a bachelor! The seats fold down fairly easily, and the back hatch opens (both glass and door) for moving things. Surprisingly, I have had to s... (more)

Cons

Well, I would have to say that even though it gives a lot of options and is extremely versatile, it is a bit cozy for my liking. I have a growing family. A wife and two children. One of which is twelve and the other three years old so still in a car seat. Now this car has anchors in the roof for the seat for safety, which I love. However, I am six foot three and two hundred and fifty pounds. So when I drive, I do have to push the seat to the extreme limit for comfort. My wife, on the other hand, is five foot five and a hundred and twenty pounds so, for her, the car fits like a glove. So i... (more)

1997 Honda CR-V - Glory days are gone

This has been a really good car, but after four teenagers drove it, it's showing its age. I would gladly get another CRV, but after four years of ownership of my current vehicle, it's clearly not going to last much longer. My 1997 Honda CRV has been used actively for more than a decade. It's definitely a good car and will last you for a long time if it's in good condition, but it's not a great car. It's probably a car that's best for college students or new drives.

Story

It's not fun, but it was definitely memorable. Just after I got this car, I went for a drive on a highway when it was snow and sleeting super hard. I had horrible visibility as my wind-shield wipers got caked in ice. I ended up hitting a patch of ice, swerving, doing a doughnut and sliding off the highway onto the shoulder. The car's brakes kept me on the shoulder and not in the ditch, and onc... (more)

Pros

This car is fairly cheap, as it's already a 21-year-old car, which means that it's good for drivers who don't drive a lot or new, inexperienced drivers. It handles well, and it's really easy to navigate in tight spaces and on sharp turns. The pedals are super responsive, and it's very enjoyable to drive for long stretches as the seats are actually pretty comfortable.

Cons

This cars greatest weakness, in my opinion, is its fuel economy. Back when I first started driving this car, I'd only have to fill it up once every 400-500 miles, but now, five years later, it's definitely showing its age. I'm lucky if I can get it above 350 miles per take. The other big issue, and granted this may have been an issue with my mechanic, the muffler on these can go bad really easily, and replacing them can be difficult.
