1998 Honda CR-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 1998 Honda CR-V for its reliability, great gas mileage, and practicality. Many appreciate the spacious interior and the performance in winter conditions with its AWD capabilities. However, some drivers note that it lacks power, with an underwhelming engine performance, especially during highway passing. Road noise and HVAC responsiveness were also common points of criticism."
Terrific gas mileage. All "wear and tear" parts replaced and car has been very well maintained. A fun, safe and dependable ride. The AWD was great during the snow and ice. Hey! It's a Honda, what more can you say?
April 6, 2011Its good on gas, roomy and reliable. But its definately no race car
January 15, 2008Great all-around vehicle. 300k miles. Designed to be utility vehicle. 1998-2000 years were the best. After that the car got flu-flu re-designs.

March 1, 2020great gas mileage, has held up to some serious beatings in the past. Goes through snow like a Hummer H2... Awesome winter car.
April 18, 2008great on gas, room and quality..just needs more power under the hood. Spacious interior..lots of neat cubbie holes..bulit in picnic table, runs great had no problems at 115,000 miles except minor normal issues. Seats that fold down are great.
August 27, 2009The build was incredible, extremely solid, never had to take in for ANYTHING in the 7 years I owned it. The interior was very spacious and comfortable. The ride was safe, but the engine lacked power, acceleration was mediocre and braking was long. Handling, on the other hand, was nimble and very precise. Very decent trunk space for its size. I owned for several years until I left the country and bought a Mitsubishi Outlander. Overall, I'd rate the C-RV over the Outlander in terms of build, handling, fuel efficiency and overall performance.
January 28, 2008Reliable SUV which I will run to the ground. I got it certified used. Soon after we had a transmission problem and it was replaced by Honda. Since then it has been smooth sailing with this car. Road noise on the highway is an issue for me. For what it cost and the value it holds today, its a great vehicle to own. I hope that Honda comes out with a hybrid version soon.
August 3, 2008Super dependable. fun. amazingly agile for a high center of gravity car. I jerry rigged a cone filter to the factory inlet tube and I get up to 29 mpg highway at 75 miles per hour. my rpm at 60 mph is only 2200 rpm.
January 30, 2010good comfortable car, rides and handles really well. I bought the car from a lady that couldn't afford to have timing belt and resulting valve damage repaired and did the repairs myself. I have driven the car about 1000 miles with no oil consumption or loss of any fluids. I just don't need to keep it. I put in new antifreeze (Advance 50/50), and changed oil (Pennzoil 5w30 and Fram filter) when repairs were done.
