Is a Honda CR-V good or should he buy a different car. We had a mini van that was not working good at all.

CR-V's are EXTREMELy reliable cars...well built, good quality materials and solid drivetrains
the new CR-V handles much like a car, so it's really a SUV body and a sedan suspension, so don't expect much in the way of off-roading
stil, Honda's Real-Time AWD system is excellent as well, and can handle moderate off-roading
there lots of room within the cabin, and the console is well placed out and easy to use...the exterior looks modern, though the front design is pretty bad and looks messy
the engine is the weak part of the car: it need more power, and fully loaded could struggle a bit..if you do fill the car up often, the CR-V may not be such a smart option, so a Rav4 V6 or Outlander V6 may be smarter options
Both the Outlander & Rav4 are well built and offer lots of room, as well as '3rd row seats'
[but they are really for 12-year-olds and under]
Either way, make sure your dad has a proper test drive of these cars, making theres enought room,enought power avalible and that he can use the car easily on a day-to-day basis [ie park it easily, use the console]
good luck

I have been very happy about the reliability of the Ford products I have owned. And the people that dump on American cars were turned off by the crap the US companies made in the 70s and into the 80s. Ford specially but GM too has caught up with the Japanese for quality and the US built vehicles cost a lot less to maintain. As for needing a 4WD, I have driven the length and width of Connecticut and never saw a single place that a Ford Focus would not be quite good enough.

Remember it's still a 5 passenger vehicle and unless you need the AWD capability for snowy winters get a sedan, it will get you better gas mileage.
I have a 2000 CR-V ex and love the way it handles snowy roads and the ride/seating height. Very solid feel, well built and reliable. Fuel mileage is one of the best in the SUV segment, but you can do better in this department with a 4 cylinder sedan.

Honda CR-V is really good. It is a smaller SUV, but still very reliable and will give good mileage compared to other SUV's.
Honda is very reliable.

We have a CRV 2012. It is a great car. When you are buying a new car (or old) a good thing to watch is where the car is actually made. The newest CRVs' are made in Japan, Mexico, or US (Ohio I believe). Surely, the best pick would be an original Japanese version. I don't think the other ones suck, but this is the most reliable option.

honda is a good car with a great resale value BUT... the CRV is a piece of shiite. any jap suv is built like crap. made to fold up very easy. accord is short for 'accordion'
