Grade logic tip
Bought new in 2000. 217000 miles in 2021. Only ever needed scheduled maintenance except a little valve work at 180,000 miles when the check engine light came on. I couldn’t sense any cylinder issues, but my state requires that check engine issues be fixed before they renew the tag. Here’s a tip about the grade logic system. If you’re slowly accelerating up a gentle incline and the car will not produce a gear shift when you know it should, just jiggle the shift lever up into neutral and immediately back down into drive. The transmission will find the next gear. Do not take your foot off the accelerator and do not linger in neutral. The engine won’t rev and the transmission will shift smoothly if you do it quickly.

My favorite car ever!
I have never been a car person. I had my 2000 CR-V for 17 years. I LOVED that car. When it needed a new transmission, we decided to sell it and I got a new Kia Soul. I like my new car, but I miss my CR-V soooo much. I would love to buy it back, or find one just like it!!!

Best Winter Vehicle
Amazing performance in the winter. The car is light but grips the road and cheap on gas. Our CRV has almost 300,000 kms and is still nice and tight. It had the common rust around the rear wheel wells but I used some fiberglass and resin and so far it has looked good. Overall the best car I've ever owned, it takes the edge above the Prius only because of the All Wheel Drive option.

Honda... please bring it back!
I love the heck out of this car. The body style is perfect. It has amazing cargo room, an open feeling inside, which is great for people who hate to feel constricted. The windows are really big. These things together make the visibility pretty amazing. I really wish Honda would go back to a body style like this rather than the curvier current design. The things I don?t like so much are minor: the stereo system isn?t great; it may have been originally but at 28 years old the speakers sound only mediocre. There isn?t an armrest on the passenger seat. It?s only a problem for the passenger of course but it kind of sucks. The latch on the back door breaks down. I have owned two 2000 CR-Vs (that?s how much I love this car) and both had problems with that latch. The road noise is kind of bad. My kids hear half of what I tell them if they are in the back. But honestly, that happens in our house or anywhere else. But still, it?s kind of a loud car at this age. It was very quiet when new, though! I am a short person and I love the height you get from this car without having a really big car. It?s such a perfect size; roomy and powerful but still easy to maneuver and park.
