I'm really, really, really embarrassed to say this, but after 23 years of owning my 99 Honda CRV I have finally found the tire jack that came with the car. My sister and I drove 2 hours to a Honda dealership that a friend of hers owned where we bought the car right off the lot. It's been the only car I've had ever since. I don't remember how long after that when I had my first flat tire and had already lost the owners manual but I always assumed there was no jack until I watched this video. When I pulled out the ice cooler and saw it I thought to myself there it is. Looking brand new, unlike my car. So, thank you for making this video. It made my day 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I got a '01 SE as my first car in high school, and I still have it now that I'm in college. I love my car so much I don't think I'll ever get rid of it (barring an unexpected event of spontaneous explosion). It's got 180k miles on it now and I'm pretty confident I can get another 100k easy. The BEST camping car and daily commuter. The town I'm living in for school has a lot of rich kids, and a lot of my friends with newer beamers or mercedes still like my car better than theirs. Honda knew what they were doing!!

Just bought a 98 crv literally yesterday and god I’m glad I found this video

That's awesome thank you for the hidden tips

I just got me a ‘98 CRV in great condition, the interior looks virtually untouched. Some high schooler owned it before me and put a lift kit and luggage rack on it, and swapped out the spare tire on the rear door for a metal gas can. I actually really like the look of it. Plan to daily it! If I have any repair issues I know what channel I’m coming to for help.

I'm not sure if you would call this a feature, but on my previous 97 Crv (currently driving a 2001) it had this. While loading it for work, I threw a pair of steel toe cap boots in the front footwell (right hand drive as in the UK). When I went to leave for work, the car refused to start, just turned over. I had the moved the car just 10 mins before so was scratching my head as to why now it won't start. Turns out, under the plastric trim near to the gearstick, if you reach up under it, scratching the backs of your hands as you do so, there is a small switch, press this back in and the car will start again! Some sort of impact engine immobiliser. My son thought this funny to kick the panel once when I went into a shop so when I came back out it wouldn't start again!

theres a tab pull thingy in the middle of the back seats, sometimes it might have dropped underneath the back seat, if u pull that chord it releases the back seats to make a perfect bed straight n better then the beds u made. if chord is not visable its underneath so reach in down in the middle till u find the lil chord to pull. it realeases the front section of seat toward the front chair n then u lay it down on top n makes a perfect bed

I ended up buying a 99 LX from a friend out of desperation. It's quickly become my favorite vehicle of mine, ever. Haha. People don't seem to understand why. ESPECIALLY after I'm coming from a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. After having owned both cars, I feel insulted by the Crosstrek.

I'll have to try the thing you tried, pushing the switch up instead of down, lol. Also in that video, I was hoping you'd mention the brake light switch stopper that falls out, so the brake lights don't turnoff. Apparently there's a ton of videos about how to put one in, but none of them relly shows them putting them in, either that, or they put the camera at and angle where you can't see what they're doing. I cn't find the hole they're talking about that it goes in, or the button that it stops. 8'm a 72 year old gramma, ok? And besides that, it's impossible for me to get under there to be able to see it, so I have to feel. Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying. Thanks so much for this video, though.
