1997 Honda CR-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love this little car its always gotten me where I need to go. I've had a few problems with the starter going out and a few oil leeks but I have got them fixed though I keep my eyes on it especially since it is an older car. The handling and brakes have saved me from more than one accident and I am very grateful that it has good brakes and handling, the four-wheel drive has come in handy too. This car has been an amazing first car and I have had no accidents in it, I'm not sure about the people who had it before me but it has done great with me. Overall I give it four stars, it is an amazing little car and I hope who ever has it next will take good care of it.Dec 16, 2014

Overall, this is a great vehicle in that it's got a solid build behind it. I mean, Honda has made some of the longest lasting cars, with the least maintenance, in the past ten years or so, which is perfect for those strapped for cash. As for performance, the acceleration is a bit sluggish for my like at times, but at least its mph holds steady through it. I've never had an issue with the handling or stearing, but as with all this, if the cash were on hand, I'd pay for some mods. Right now it's been in my care for over a year, so yes, I bought it through Honda's Pre-Owned service, and the previous owner never drove it in the near decade he owned it. Right now it's on 135k+ milage, and I've yet to have any serious issues with it for maintenance. Cosmetically, I've had to watch the black lining around my windows slowly break apart and flake off, but the paint and all else is holding strong. I've had contemplations about upgrading to a newer model, but I have to say, the one I've got has grown on me. I'm sticking with it for the long haul, I think.May 04, 2009

4WD, 16 inch Alloy wheels, 17mpg in city 24 mpg on highway, great steering, 4V- cylinder engine, 6 cd player , silver body, it is 12 years old bur has only 91, 250 miles on it so far. It can easily go for another 100,000 miles. I got a new muffler for a couple months ago that cost $ 700 . But that is it for repairs. Its a Honda what do you expect? Base Price in1997 was $ 13,500. For 2009 the value is $6,500 from Kelly Blue Book. Good Condition. Very fun to drive!!! It like a jeep liberty but it is better on gas.Jan 14, 2009
