  • Very Impressed! - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I test drove the RAV4, Passat, Accord, Outback, Suburu WR-X and chose the CR- V. In my mind the CRV took the prize for having the best of my needs in a vehicle: handling, price, economy, interior room and design. And its a honda! I love the vehicle.

  • Wishing for off road capabilities! - 2002 Honda CR-V

    This vehicle is awesome! The new Honda crv-2002 perfoms great. This vehicle is especially comfortable to drive. It literally purrs like a kitten. BUT, I and many other consumers wish and hope for future off-road endurance. I wish the 2002 Honda-CRV had just a little more off-road capability.

  • Love my CR-V - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Bought my CR-V EX a few weeks ago and I love it. I wanted EX and most I could get off MSRP was $500. So my brother found a demo model with 5,000 miles with a roof rack .....I got 1500 off MSRP with the roof rack. I think I got a good deal. People dont pay sticker....they will give at least 300 off. Trust me I called every honda dealer in new york new jersey area. So far i love this car. Only complaints is this whisling noise (sounds like wind) i hear when driving on highway....anyone else have a problem with that??? Maybe a small air leak in sunroof?????? Otherwise it is so smooth and quiet.

  • HONDA CR-V FEEDBACK - 2002 Honda CR-V

    I compared the CR-V to everything in its class and couldnt find anything worth a look. The 160 hp 4 cyl. motor has plenty of power and feels more like a V6 than a 4. Most of the major reviews on the CR-V listed "No available V6" under "CONS." Yes they are correct but I dont see need for a V6. Lets face it, your not intending to do a lot of hauling or pulling if your in the market for a MINI SUV? The All Wheel Drive is also a perfect fit for a vehicle of this type since regular 4 wheel drive is only used a small percentage of the time unless you live in a pretty nasty part of the country. So why pay all that $$$$$$ and not be able to use it?

  • Not Honda Quailty! - 2002 Honda CR-V

    I owned one of these beasts of burdens,it was a horrible vechicle.First of all first day i had it pulled to the right,never could get it corrected.Pig on gas.Stalled on me while driving it on busy city street with my newborn baby son with me,the main computer had to be reprogrammed.Hard to handle in windy conditions,ever have a caes of white knucles.Aswell as 2 other recalls ,all this in less than one year.I owned a 93 Civic Si which went 300000 miles problem free other than regular maitence,Hondas quailty has slipped .Abs brakes aswell were terrible,its like they chattered and jumpy in wet or snowy weather!

    I have owned the 97 CRV the 98 CRV a 2001 CRV and now the 2002 CRV. This new model is a pleasure to drive and handles beautifully but to be honest I miss my old design. I would be interested to know if others feel the same. I do not seem to be able to haul as much in the luggage area since the back seats fold upright and cannot be adjusted forward.

    My experiences have all been satisfactory. This is a well made car.

  • Wonderful CRV - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    This is my second CRV. I liked the first one so well I bought another one. My sister and I both bought a red one in 1998 and the Mojavi Mist in 2002. It is so dependable, and the dealership is great when we take it in for service. I had a 1986 and 1992 Honda Accord before I got the CRV. When I get another car, it will most likely be a CRV. "If it aint broke, dont fix it." Cant say enough about it.

  • Fun to drive-but watch out for repairs - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I really love my CRV. The dealer I bought it from was the best! I only wish I lived near them now. I just got ,y 2 1/2 year olad CRV out of the shop. The airconditioning went out. It cost me to the tune of $1800.00. I was very upset that a car this new would have such problems. I was thinking of buying a Pilot, but now thinking of different line of car. I have always been told Hondas were good for well over 200,000 miles and for such a repair.
