CR-V General question
 
Hello

I'm looking to buy a used CR-V. A 2001 model.

Are there any years of CR-V's that are worse for repairs than an
other year(s)?

And how about Civics or Accords? Any year better than others
in your opinion.

Thank you so very much

'99 to '01 CR-V has higher horsepower. All engines in that series need
their valves adjusted more often than the owner's manual says (the North
American Manual). Great vehicles otherwise. Check Consumer reports, etc.

I just traded in a 2001 CR-V LX 4WD for an 05 Pilot EX. It had 72,000 miles
on it that never had any mechanical failure whatsoever. This is the only
car I really felt bad about giving up. Good luck on your search for one.

Re: CR-V General question
 
After driving a 1992 Accord for 9 years, virtually trouble free, we got a
2001 Accord. So far, we have had to replace the engine and the front end.
Less than 90000 km on it.
