Nice little features, like flip-up tray table and folding picnic table. Adds lots of standard features. Too small for families or people with lots of friends. Passenger seat has no armrest. Seats are too thin, with insufficient lumbar support.
Rear seat lacks middle headrest.
Not a lot of personality. No side air bags. They thought Honda's little four-door was too small and didn't offer enough value for the money. Because Honda is offering a special edition of the CR-V for 2000, we decided to revisit this Japanese offering. Turns out our first impressions were pretty much on target.
