I've got 217K miles on my 5 speed '99. Has been VERY troublefree. Original clutch, original struts and axles. Only recently put new rear brake shoes on it (myself), originals lasted 216K miles. OEM front pads usually last 85K miles. And I do tow alot with it.

@omglolwatermelon I think you have a locking center differential in you MPV instead of a dual hydraulic pump rear differential (with clutch on both wheel) on the CRV. So it surely do a big difference 1st gen of Honda CRV AWD are "correct", nothing more, but it do the job if you are stuck. I don't test it, but 2nd and 3rd generation of Honda AWD are supposed to be better than 1st one (react more quickly). A mecanician at my Honda dealer told me that this system was very simple, but never break.

Nice ride! Does your crv come with 4wd?

@honda27crv : yes, it was the 1st generation of CRV real time AWD, a little slow to react but it do the job well as you can see. I sold the CRV in 2008 for an Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 with a much better 4x4 system.

@honda27crv I sold it at around 100 000 miles, but you're right, with a good proper maintenance you can do a lot of millage on a Honda. A friend of mine have a CRV like this, and he past the 200 000 miles mark. The only problem he had was a replacement of the driving shaft at around 100 000 miles (frequent known problem on this generation). I sold mine only to have better comfort in general and better 4x4 system, cause i do a lot of highway (and winter is sometime real bad here in Quebec!).
