  • not what I expected form Honda - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I just bought the crv for 2 days. Already therere defective noises in the rear (right) whenever I press the brakes. Moreover, I have found out that the front passengers door handle is missing an internal plastic part. Does Honda really build cars so good that they command higher prices when compared to their peers? I dont think so.

  • a great little suv - 2002 Honda CR-V

    This SUV is a great car family car. Youd think that an SUV wouldnt have that much power but this one has a lot. 160 horses worth of it. Its built really well. Average Honda quality. Its also quite roomy despite what the size looks from the outside. It turns as sharp as you could want. A short wheelbase. Easy to drive. A good car to learn in.

    This has been a great vehicle. I love the size and the turning radius is excellent. A bit of a problem with blind spots, but Id buy another.

  • First Honda, First SUV - 2002 Honda CR-V

    I love this car! It is fun & sporty to drive and turns on a dime. By the looks of it, people think I paid WAY more then I did. The only problem I have experienced is that CR-V does pull to the right. Also, when I drive it in reverse it makes a whining sound...not sure yet if this is normal or not. (it is an automatic transmission) Anyone else out there have that problem? All in all it is a wonderful vehicle.

  • Big Improvement - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Owned 97 CRV for 5 years. New 2002 vehicle is an improvement in ride, comfort, quietness, power and room. Only complaint is a place to put my left foot comfortably. Also the tires are noisy so I replaced them with Michelin X Ones(good for 80000 miles). Now a huge difference in handling and quietness. Also replaced the cheap paper cone speakers , added a subwoofer in rear and amp under drivers seat and have improved the sound 100%.

  • Good user friendly SUV - 2002 Honda CR-V

    I bought my CRV "V" new in 2002 I have had zero problems. I would like better lumbar support, larger tires less brake, road noise, and more bass in the stereo. Utility is great I have carried several large items which fit into an exterior that appears too small on the outside but fit inside.The fit and finish are great as is the rear leg room. I still think it is the best sport ute for the money getting the fuel economy it does. I would hate to be my neighbor who owns an suv so large he doesnt drive it but once every few weeks to once a month.

  • Always loved Hondas, but... - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Ive had my CRV for 2 years now, and the major complaint Ive had with my CRV is all the plastic in the interior that causes MAJOR rattles in cold weather. My 89 accord after 13 years never had as many rattles as this CRV does. Ive had it in 3 times to get them fixed and after 2 days they always come back. Drives me crazy.

  • Best Mini SUV of the year - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Excellent safety features. Quality you would expect from Mercedes. Very roomy interior and versatile cargo area. Great horsepower, drives like a dream!

  • CRV Delighted - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Extremely happy with the CRV EX with manual. The ride is comfortable without being Detroit bouncy. Steering feedback is pretty good and it is very quiet. The EX comes with just about every option most people would want, but the remaining options are pricey. Performance is excellent considering it is a 4 banger - the equal of the Escape unless you have to tow 5,000 pounds. You cannot get a stick with the Escape unless you accept Fords lawn mower engine. After 3 months, still zero defects!
