I inherited this about 10 years ago and been happy ever since. Old enough to be comfortable, economical to maintain, got enough blemishes to look like an old lady. good see previous statement

1998 Honda CRV

My CRV has 266,000 miles and runs great. Uses no oil and everything works including the AC. Interior has held up very well. All wheel drive is great. Us it on the farm. It goes places that my previous Chevy Blazer wouldn't go. Only week point was the transmission that needed to be replaced at 180k miles ($1,400 for used low mileage replacement installed).

98 Honda CRV

Good, reliable car/truck. I bought the 5-speed model with 90k miles. It's over 200k miles and running strong. Plastic and rubber parts wear out on any vehicle which I've replaced Periodically. Normal fluid changes bumper to bumper and it keeps on truckin. It has no sunroof which is a bummer. A trailer hitch is an easy install for DIY'ers. The layout inside is simple but versatile. Buying parts is a piece of cake. Lots of online resources for simple repairs. Cruise control is great feature. Honda makes it easy for adding options. The engine has easy access for basic maintenance. As long as you keep in mind it's not meant for muddin or heavy towing, it'll always get you where ya want to go. Not fast, but it'll get ya there!

Great car overall

This is a great car; small yet sturdy. Honda does love their parts for this vehicle and their service fees are sinful; but I must say this vehicle holds up to both time and other drivers. Got a low speed 10-15 mph rear end collision by a 2013 Ford Escape recently; big mistake for the Escape as my rear tire mount and tailgate needed to be realigned and touched up as the Escape was a total loss.

Dopeness

It’s overall a sick little whip. I lifted mine with bigger tires... nothing can touch me in the snow. It’s well balanced and rides awesome. Slightly underpowered and has no arm rests. I will buy anything as long as it’s a Honda

Car

Very reliable and just what I need for my family. Nothing major has happened yet. It may be old but it runs great. Good to drive in snow. Plenty of room. Most things are pretty cheap to fix. Overall great car.

Love this vehicle!

I bought my 1998 CRV with about 50,000 miles on it. Now nearing 180,000 and car is running just fine. I have had no serious problems at all with this car. It turns on a dime, surprisingly, and the all wheel drive makes it great on the slippery roads in the rain. Only complaints are that it does lag on a steep uphill climb. and the two part rear door opening is annoying to me vs. a swing open door. But those are minor issues. Hope to keep this car for another 50,000 miles or more.

The best car I've ever had.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. I bought this car new and have had it for 18 years. I've only had to put a few thousand dollars into it in all of that time. I wish I could keep this car forever.

Outstanding automobile

My CR-V has over 230,000 miles and has served me well, I do the scheduled maintenance and make sure that it is good repair and I will keep it for a few more years.

My favorite vehicle ever.

Honda vehicles have been very reliable vehicles for me to drive for two decades now. My current one has been a real Gem. Current mileage is at 175 K miles.

My Beloved 98 Honda CRV!!

Purchased my beloved wheels witht low mileage about 18 years ago. It has been so dependable and enjoyable to drive that I would prefer to continue to maintain and repair this vehicle as long as possible. I hope this vehicle outlives me!! I am 72 years old.

This 1st generation is THE BOMB!!! Love it!

Honda should start reproducing this as a 2021!!! It would sell like hot cakes. 25mpg all day, every day, great visibility, user friendly, a little workhorse. Got this with 193K. 300K, here we come!!! Buy 2 if you can!!! Got this for $1200, great value ?

Incredible vehicle

My Honda CRV has been incredibly reliable. At 208,000 miles it has never had an engine problem. In fact, it has never had a significant problem of any kind. I have had to replace the starter, but all other work has been normal maintenance. I am going to do everything in my power to keep this car another 100,000 miles. This is the definition of a keeper.

Bullet proof!

Once you go 1st generation Honda CRV, you’ll keep buying them! “Little Tanks” with a big heart. My 98 is 26 yrs old with 242K. Can’t kill it. So good I drove 9 hours to buy a 2001. If U find 1, buy it
