Most reliable car Ive owned - 2003 Honda CR-V
By joepsu - January 28 - 4:18 pmOwned the CR-V for 4 years now. Long commutes to work and the car is extremely reliable. Not the fastest acceleration, but the manual tranny helps keep up the pace. Only 1-2 problems so far. Alternator went at 95k and I couldnt replace it myself (close quarters to remove bolts). The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) malfunctioned causing stalls and rough idle at 100k. This is a common problem shared with the Acura RSX and Civic (same part) and to my surprise Honda dosent sell this part (normally $50) seperately but wants you to buy a whole new throttle body ($750+). Replaced with an aftermarket TPS for $75. Otherwise a great vehicle!

Very Reliable Car - 2003 Honda CR-V
By GeoMan - January 9 - 2:15 pmI now have over 70,000 on this car that I bought new in May, 2003. I have had it in the dealership for just one minor issue. One of the front struts was not torqued down to specs and began rattling. The dealer fixed promptly and aside from oil changes, its run perfectly ever since. The gas mileage could be a little better. I can consistently get 25 with highway driving and about 23 with city and highway. The car is very easy to drive. It is easy to park and easy to manuever. Im 62" tall, so it could have a little more leg room. Especially since I rarely have anyone in the back seat.

Its the Best - 2003 Honda CR-V
By jerryl - January 9 - 10:00 amI am extremely pleased with my Honda CRV. It is well made, pleasing to the eye, very functional and a pleasure to drive. I purchased the all wheel drive model as I have a long commute to work. It turned out to be a very tough winter weather wise and my CRV performed extremely well. My best description is that I felt very safe in exteme road conditions. All you had to do was drive like you had some brains and the Honda never lost traction. I would purchase this vehicle again and recommond it to anyone.

I love my red Honda CRV - 2003 Honda CR-V
By Katarina68 - January 8 - 2:09 pmI am a mom with 2 kids and I love this car. I have had it for more than 3 years and it never required any attention other than the oil change. Its spacious, yet I can reach to my kids in the back while driving. It feels reliable and safe.

Great Overall Vehicle - 2003 Honda CR-V
By Robert Henley - January 7 - 1:58 pmThis car gets decent mileage. Easy to park. Great driving visibility all around except for the center rear seat headrest. I simply removed it and solved the problem. GREAT in the snow or rain. Only bad thing is going through tires. After a 4 wheel strut change, no problems.

Good SUV for the price - 2003 Honda CR-V
By Razor - January 2 - 10:00 amI purchased it at invoice without any haggling. I added the foglights and alarm system at time of purchase at near invoice plus labor. Great handling, very easy to manuever, good gas mileage, excellent interior design, very good material with the exceptions of some minor switches, the integrated brake lever is great, love the shift lever, stereo is a little weak like all hondas...planning to add the factory sub latter. I looked at Toyotas Highlander Limited & 4Runner Limited and decided on the CRV, similar amount of room, but better gas milage, lower ownership cost, and cost $$$ less.

Awesome! - 2003 Honda CR-V
By magic2121 - November 26 - 10:00 amI really love this vehicle. It is the family car and definitely my favorite. The Toyota RAV4 can not even be compared to this exceptional Honda CR- V. I would recommend this car to anyone wishing for a roomy, five- passenger car.
