    Hi I bought my 01 cr-v in October 2009 with 98,000 miles. Ive had it for 2 years now and put 50,000 miles on it. It now has 148,000 and runs very good. Its been different for me to drive than a car but I love the room and comfort it gives me. I go camping and fold down the seats blow up my areo bed and sleep like a baby. This is one fantastic vehicle.

    This is the best car Ive every owned. My only complaint is that I like the style of the 2001 and that is not the style they are making now. I live in Alaska and drive in all sorts of weather. I will buy another one when this one wears out.

    Ive had my cr-v for over 5 years now. Its great to drive in this little cutie. Its peppy enough for me. Great on gas and always gets me to point a and b and then some. I purchased it with 45,000 miles. It s just over 140,000 now it runs like a champ. I recommend anyone to purchase a great vehicle like this. You wont be disappointed.

  • Boring to drive - 2001 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I have been reading the other reviews made by other people on here and wonder if they are actually driving the same SUV I am. It transmission down shifts so hard that it nearly threw off the snowy mountain road I was on. I think real time 4 wheel drive is a joke. The ride is harsh, and very uncomfortable on long rides and is very noisy. The seats are hard and uncomfortable. It is very underpowered and really so when AC is on and can barely make up the mountains where I live. it would a much better SUV for a place that gets less than 4 inches of snow and flat. I will never own another Honda, My next purchase will be a Subaru

  • Great car - 2001 Honda CR-V

    Great car. Its as reliable as gravity. Only problem in 157,000 miles, had to get a new radiator. Only way to go with a small family. Bought it new in 2001, and will turn it over to my son when he is 16. That will be in 2014.

  • Great little car - 2001 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Ive driven this car on four different regions of the world, in North America, in Africa, in Europe, and now in the Middle East. Its done very well in European snow, in African desert and washboard dirt roads. Its little 4 banger and AWD have done fine in loose sand. Its been rock solid reliable, with regular oil changes and air filter replacements. The radiator died in 2007, but no other problems. Its acceleration leaves a little to be desired, especially up a hill. However, its been perfect for this world traveling family. The added ground clearance and AWD have been perfect for a family that never knows what kinds of roads well find at our next home.

  • What happened to Honda reliability? - 2001 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Please do research on the valve/cylinder head failures that plague the 1997-2001 CRV. Mine burned a valve at 123k miles. This is a prevalent issue that will literally cost thousands of dollars to replace. If I would have known this I would have never bought this truck.
