  Best Car I have Ever Owned! - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By Chris - November 4 - 11:14 pm

  My 2003 CRV EX with over 242,000 miles has been the absolute BEST car I have ever owned in terms or reliability, minimal repairs and overall performance in all weather conditions. The only complaint I have is the driver side door lock actuator which needed replacement and apparently has been an issue with this year Honda. However, when I decided to buy a new car for business needs, I choose another CRV without hesitation.

  LOVE!!! I dread the day I have to replace it - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By tessa77 - January 4 - 1:32 pm

  This is the best car I have ever purchased!!!! I bought my 2003 Cr-V brand new and 9 years later have put 160,000 miles on it. I have had no major repair issues that are not associated with normal wear and tear. I did have to replace the A/C compressor, but only once and after 100,000 miles of use. I put mainly highway miles on it in New England with snow, ice, road salt, and a heavy lead foot without a problem. It drives like a dream and I have no issues with noise. I have been rearended on the highway 3 times and only sustained significant damage with the 3rd accident. This car is very well built and incredibly safe. I wish Honda still made them the same way.

  LOVED My CR-V - 2003 Honda CR-V
  By jval - August 17 - 2:05 pm

  My dad purchased the 2003 CR-V LX 4WD new in 2002. When I was ready to drive, he passed it down to me. I drove it for the next eight years with only a few fixes. The front/rear brakes and alternator were the most major repairs, but with good reason. I went to school in Ithaca, NY for four years and the snow/sleet/hail took its toll. For the winter beatings it went through, it held up great. I recently got in an accident and my CR-V was totaled - a Chevy truck hit my front passenger wheel. The impact hit all the right spots and my poor CR-V couldnt be repaired. It was only at 78,500 miles. Its a HUGE shame - this car had many years left in it. I miss it greatly.

  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

  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

  By chipsta - December 15 - 2:00 am

  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.

  This car is ideal for urban living. We have a dog and kid on the way. So easy to park. All-wheel drive. Efficient to a fault. Sturdy and safe.
