  • Very Good Choice - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I bought the CRV - EX last months and I didnt regret having it. Fun to drive with a lot of room inside. I just expected to see more options in the EX model. The tire size look small on the bigger redesigned 2002 CRV. The sticker says I can have 22 miles per galon in the city, the best I got was 19.5 in the city. Acceleration lags for few seconds when using regular fuel

  • Honda Forever - 2003 Honda CR-V

    I have really enjoyed my CRV. I was concerned about the 4 cyl. performance, but have been pleasantly surprised. I travel with work, and I enjoy having the space that a small SUV affords while getting 26 mpg.

  • crv EXCELLENT! - 2003 Honda CR-V

    If anyone is looking for a fun, safe, reliable small suv, the crv is IT! I love my 2002 EX 5spd.....living in NH, its definitely put to the test!

  • Mission Purpose - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    It was a tough choice. The CR-V met mission requirements in a best value score over the RAV-4 and Hundai Sante Fe. 25mpg ave. 28mpg hwy, excellent ride and cargo and storage room. Dont ignore the other two. Each had something to offer and your mission might be different. Im so very disappointed in the domestics. They are irrelevant, fawning off the worse consumer values on four wheels.

  • Forget the rest - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    If you want a reliable vehicle with loads of utility, good MPG, the handling of a car and the best safety rating in the segment, this is it. While it isnt as frugal as a Civic, its fantastic when you consider cargo volume and its AWD ability. 5 Star crash test rating all the way around. There arent many of those on the road for under $25,000. The CRV is truly an SUV for people that hate the ugly side of SUVs.

  • The best for your money. - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    We have owned many cars, most of which have been Hondas. We always come back for the value and reliability. Our CRV is no exception. Though we have only owned this one a short time, it is our second CRV. We purchased a new one only because we discovered we needed a 4 wheel drive.

  • A Thankful Purchase - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I really have no complaints about this vehicle, and can come up with none. I did not purchase it for off road use, but being a handicapped/disabled male, 57 years of age, it sure fit the bill!

  • Good reliable transportation - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Bought this new in 2003 and have had few problems with it. The OEM tires are poor and had to be replaced at 24000 miles, but other than that, the car has been very reliable. Great in the snow and comfortable. Replaced the following: Back up light switch 50000 miles Resistor in blower motor 60,000 miles Brakes replaced at 100000 (pads) Battery 110000 miles Serpentine belt at 60000 and 120000 I have been advised to replace front struts due to leakage but as they still work fine I have ignored this. The rest has been normal scheduled maintenance.

  • Always wanted one - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I orignially purchased a left over 2002 Honda accord EX-L, but was very upset with the engine vibration. Dealership and Honda said it was charactoristic. Well, after driving it for two months, I went back to dealership and bought a CRV LX. It is my work vehicle, so I didnt need all the bells and whistles that the accord had. No problems with the V and Im very pleased with it. Fun to drive and easy on gas. It is turning into the vehicle of choice every time my wife and I go somewhere. (her vehicle is a volvo)
