  The most for your money - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By vray - November 20 - 2:00 am

  Engine power is exceptional for 4 cyl. Im getting 22-23 MPG in hilly mountainous terrain 26-27 MPG interstate. Comparing to the competition MSRP is thousands less than a similarly equipt vehicle. Legroom is tops compared to Forester and Escape.

  Quality slipped a bit - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By EABTroy - October 28 - 10:48 am

  Note I also own a 2000 CR-V. Honda improved upon the last CR-V, but they also cheapened it up. Our 2003, bought new, has had more problems than the last 10 cars I have had combined. Alternator, door actuator, two door light switches, carpet is crap, dashboard "plastic" can be visibly scratched with a fingernail, paint is easily chipped. I also understand the A/C should crap out at any time. Honda also still have the 4wd service listed at 100K miles, not 30K like what is required. The dealer has been helpful, but its unbelievable for a Honda to be like this. Fortunately, my parents got a 2007 CR-V and, suffice to say, Honda learned their lesson!

  CR-V is awsome - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By joshua2223 - October 3 - 2:00 am

  Price is aswome and you get a SUV that is extremely roomy and versatile. The most important thing of all is that you get peace of mind knowing that you have honda reliability. This is my third CR- V. I put nearly 100,000 miles a year on my car because of business. My last CR-V had 223,000 miles with no problems at all other than tires and brakes.

  Highly Recommended - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By dawelch_in_AK - September 27 - 10:00 am

  Im finally back to owning a Honda again! I cant believe Ive owned other vehicles; shame on me. The CRV is a dream to drive, and compared to my last SUV (Isuzu, ick), the CRV gets Amazing gas mileage. Im averaging 27mpg, which is better than EPA estimates! I feel much better having a Low Emmission Vehicle in Fairbanks; a city that suffers from Smog in winter. Im the very proud owner of a Honda again (last honda was a prelude, loved it). Im even thinking of giving my CRV a name, like I would a pet!

  Pagelims review - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By PageLIM - September 21 - 10:00 am

  Great sales experience, surprised that you could get a reliable small SUV for the price, love Honda durability and reputation of quality. Would like better gas mileage still, but otherwise a great car.

  Love CRVS - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Sancar - September 21 - 10:00 am

  We researched small SUVs for quite a while. After driving all of them, the Honda won hands down. It is roomy, comfortable and the cargo space is as large as some of its big competitors.

  Honda CRV A/C Problem - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Unhappy Honda Owner - August 24 - 12:18 pm

  Were very unhappy about having to shell out $1,618 for a new A/C system a couple weeks ago for our 03 Honda CR-V. Vehicle hadnt quite hit 70,000 miles and was no longer under warranty. We didnt want to sweat through a hot, humid MN summer without A/C, and dealership wouldnt even consider a trade-in without it being fixed. So didnt feel we had much choice in the matter. Honda evidently covered about $2,200 in parts, and the dealership provided us with a loaner, for which we were grateful, but still a big financial hit when we could least afford it. Very disappointed in Honda quality. Lots of people seem to be experiencing same problem. They need to do a recall.

  Reliable but Cramped Leg Room - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Tom - August 13 - 9:26 am

  My CR-V is a great car for someone who is less than 6 feet tall and doesnt want to go off road very often. I am 6 2" and cannot drive it on long trips because the leg room is cramped. Also, the AWD uses an open transfer case with open axles, meaning you really have one wheel drive. The CR-V is great for urban moms who want a large rear trunk area. Very reliable and good gas mileage, great build quality.
