  Love My Honda - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By hondalover31 - May 9 - 3:56 pm

  I purchased my 1999 Honda CRV in Feb. 2008. It had 98,000 miles on it. Other than the timing belt and regular ware and tear it has been an excellent car. I now have 267,000 miles on it!!!! I recommend honda to anyone who asks..both my kids drive a honda and my dad just bought his first honda a year ago!

  Best Car Ever - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By dustygirl - July 2 - 3:23 pm

  Wish they still made them like this. I am the original owner of my 99 honda crv and now have 191,000 miles on it. No major problems...Just put a new radiator on it about two years ago, the old one just had a pin-hole leak. The original battery lasted 9 years and was still okay, but I decided Id just be safe rather than sorry and replaced it. Only issue I ever had with it was a bad clunking/thunking when going over even small uneven spots...it was a $12 fix and just needed a new bushing where the sway bar end link went in. We change the oil on time, and change the transmission fluid earlier than what it calls for. Ive checked valve clearance and theyve always been fine.

  206,000 and going strong!!!! - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By brewmyown - May 9 - 2:41 pm

  I have a 1999 CR-V EX with 206,000 miles and and its still going strong. As others have said, adjust the valves every 20K - 30K (or sooner since its so simple to do in less than an hour without much knowledge at all), change your fluids as scheduled (Transmission, motor oil, rear diff oil, etc.) and it will last a long, long time. Even the cloth interors on these cars lasts forever without showing wear. The vehicle is amazingly roomy inside.

  Great small Suv - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By small3 - April 22 - 6:35 am

  I have had my 1999 Honda Suv for 6 years with no problems! It now has 343000 on the clock but still goes like a dream. The AWD for me is great. I have launched my boat in some really awkward places at Jozini dam but the car never let me down. We had a holiday at Pont D Outo this year and the car had no problems with the sand we didnt get stuck once!!! And those sand roads are bad.

  Love at 1st site - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By 300K + - September 18 - 2:00 am

  This was the 1st car I bought brand new & wanted to keep. 11 yrs later & 300k + miles she runs like a charm, very little maintenance, brakes were still good after 120k. I wish they never changed the body style after 2001.

  The Beast - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By caitthegreat - July 16 - 5:03 pm

  My friends call this car "the beast." It can go anywhere, accommodate anyone, and it just keeps on chugging. I bought it in 2004 with about 70,000 miles on it, and have since added about 100,000 more. Its reliable as a commuter car, but its also great for road trips. Before I purchased it I read a review saying the timing belt might need to be replaced at 75,000 miles, so I had the dealership take care of that. Since then, the only problem Ive had is that I needed a new radiator a year ago. I just got a tune up this week and it runs amazingly. Ive spoken with dealers who say they rarely see problems with CR-Vs. This car has been good to me, it was a great investment.

  Love it- but hate things as well! - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By Orangegirl - July 9 - 9:30 pm

  Sold our 97 Rav4 for this, comparing both, Id lean towards the Rav for my personal use. Dont get me wrong the CR-V is a GREAT SUV, but I hate the fact you cant open the back window/door manually, you need the remote or button inside the vehicle. VERY ANNOYING!! The space in the back, though sufficient, is lacking in height, because of a useless " picnic table". My Rav I could fit my bike in it and a dog, plus when yard sailing buy a snow blower or something else higher and fit NO PROBLEM. But all in all this a good car, and I do love Hondas, will only buy Honda or Toyota, however I do miss my Rav.

  99 LX 2WD "Froger" - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By John - June 4 - 6:20 pm

  LOVE this car. 99 Clover Green 2WD auto. Driven her for 6 years after trading in my new off the lot 01 Dodge Dakota. Just put on another set of tires. Went up to 225/65/16s. Fun car to drive. Small, nimble, and green. Reminds me of the Frogger game in traffic. Not too fast up hills but she wasnt built for that. 26 plus on highway trips, 20 plus round town. Just pasted smog again with flying colors.

  I love my Honda, still feels new - 1999 Honda CR-V
  By wetpawsx8 - February 13 - 1:58 pm

  I bought this car new. I had an Explorer and it was just too big for me. The CRV fit me perfectly. I have never been sorry. Usual maintenance has been done, I change oil every 3,000 miles. I now have 174,000 miles, most parts are original. Did the drive belt and water pump as preventive maintenance. original brakes, exhaust. I bought slightly oversized tires and have really been happy with that decision, they seem to wear longer. I drive in new fallen snow without a problem. Have never been stranded. Im still getting about 24 mpg. The interior is still in good condition and I haul my two dogs with me often. I hope to get another 174,000 miles before I would give it up.
