  Here One Not Depressingly Apperciated - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By hbechara - May 11 - 2:38 am

  I swapped my (BMW 323i 2001) into this car, was seeking for better fuel economy simply by thinking a 4cyl consume less than 6 cyl But unfortunately i was WRONG! in addition to the super 24 valves where each plays its own orchestra with unsupportable noises. The AWD sounds like you are driving a tank, simply lots of noises with a poor sound system. About the interior, dont expect something more than Honda, Luxury is devilish and we must keep away. Great A/C but you may freeze in front seats to comfort whos sitting in the back. Bad deviation if accelerating up in a ramp.

  Best ever - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By meadowmaven - April 19 - 7:15 pm

  I have owned Toyota and Honda going back 35 years and have liked them all. they have performed well with little maintenance. This CR-V has been the best all round vehicle for reliability, comfort and versatility. Nothing but regular maintenance after 7 years, my tall husband is comfortable driving it, and just about everything fits in it thanks to its boxier style. Good going Honda

  Very cramped Noisy but great cargo space - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Sam K - April 19 - 1:50 pm

  if youre the primary driver and youre over 5 7, dont buy unless you want back pain and/or heel pain. I am 5 10" and find that my seat even if all the way back my knees are off the seat which gives me foot pain. My wife is 5 2" and my father in law is 5 6" and both are thin. If we add the car seat, its hard for them to sit. The middle seat-belt is a joke. Very, very, very noisy interior. Especially if youre driving on 101 South LOL. Forget talking on cell phones inside this SUV or even having a decent conversation along with light music.

  High maintenance after 75000 miles - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By T Anderson - March 6 - 9:19 am

  Very noisy - hard to hear radio on most roads in the Northwest. Very high maintenance after 75000 miles. Examples: Drivers side door lock malfunction. 2. Left passenger door lock actuator malfunction.3. Cruise control computer system malfunction. 4. Air bag indicator malfunction. 4. Timing belt side mount replacement. Items 1-4 cost $1200 in repairs! Honda dealer had a very hard time diagnosing cruise control problem. i.e., many false fixes.

  CRV is a DISASTER! - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Honda NO more! - January 22 - 10:46 am

  I am so frustrated right now, it seems our mechanic sees the car more! We have had front strut issues, tire issues, brakes going to early, AC issues, and when I am driving it sometimes feels like I have a manual trans and have the gear too high, I am afraid what that means. Now the emissions warning is on, back door latch is getting lax. I want to get rid of this terrible terrible car soon! I like the looks hate the car. We dont have alot money to constantly be fixing this!!

  just not for me - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By billie - January 9 - 7:57 pm

  I bought this used crv to save money and downgrade from my 2007 F350 Crew Cab PSD. Since Im used to large trucks this was a huge transition. Thought it wasnt bad test driving it, but I didnt ride as a passenger and did the next day after buying and that is when I noticed how small it felt. I felt cramped and the seats became uncomfortable.

  Lovin It !!! - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By wa59 - December 29 - 2:00 am

  I drive 60 miles one way to work every day, and I was looking for a comfortable vehicle that could get me there in bad weather, and get good gas mileage. I found exactly what I was looking for in my CR-V

  After all I read it is a excellent suv. Still a little shaky about off-road driving, but in terms of looks and mpg, its very good! We sure love it!!

  Great Reliability and Safe Too - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Chad - November 3 - 9:14 pm

  This car was a fantastic buy for my family. After 140,000 miles and nothing more than oil changes, brakes and tires it was tragically destroyed in a pretty serious car accident. $15k in damage later and on one was seriously injured. Never had any issues with A/C... We liked this car so much, we found the exact same car and bought it with the insurance money.
