1997 Honda CR-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1997 Honda CR-V express a strong sense of reliability and satisfaction with their vehicle. Many appreciate its dependable performance, especially in bad weather thanks to the all-wheel drive. Reviewers commonly mention its good handling and stopping power as positive attributes. However, some owners have pointed out that being an older model, it can have minor issues such as oil leaks and a lack of modern features like additional storage solutions. Overall, it's seen as a great budget-friendly option for urban commuting and off-road adventures."
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.
December 16, 2014It's wonderfully reliable. The all wheel drive kicks in right when I need it which is often during these Northeast winters. For a V-4, it's pretty zippy once it get going at highway speed. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to friends and family.
January 7, 2009This car is great for an SUV, 2.0L 126HP engine is responsive, average acceleration, smooth 4-speed auto transmission, good stopping power from the front discs with all round ABS, handling is good for an SUV, great suspension, very comfortable city runabout.

January 14, 2008It's in amazing condition for the mileage and age of the car, very reliable, and wonderfully sturdy. Great family car.
April 7, 2008Great vehicle, especially for its age! Good gas mileage, smooth ride. Only negative would be the gear shift on the steering wheel and no console between the front seats (flip up tray, but no storage).
April 11, 20104WD, 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.
January 14, 2009I inherited the "Rock Mobile" from my mother and drive it regularly. Since I have it now, I've run it into the ground and it still keeps going. It's solid, but a little wobbly (obviously since most SUVs are that way) but overall great cheap vehicle to run off into the woods and not get stuck.
April 8, 2008Not very cool looking, but good car. Had almost 250k on it and it still drove great. I dont really like hondas or other turds, but it was cheap and had plenty of room for a small suv. I would buy one again.
December 20, 2010This is just a normal small suv, as most honda does, its about average. Also its surprisingly hard to flip over, ask me how I know.
April 2, 2008good car and gets the job done... also have 2 15in lanzar subwoofers in the back and a 4000 watt lanzar amp that get the job done. the car is also 4wd so it is great for off roading and getting muddy. but dont scuff the rims
