    We just bought the EX and couldnt be happier. This car has everything we were looking for and on top of that its a Honda.

  • good car - 2002 Honda CR-V

    its roomy, and even roomier when you fold the backseats up. engines decently peppy, and around town driving is quite smooth and quiet. the interior of the car is really simple and nicely designed. there are also a thousand and one nooks and crannies to hide your stuff. really, really nice suv.

  • Everything is great but the paint! - 2002 Honda CR-V

    This is a great little SUV. We did some research prior to replacing our incredible 1989 Camry wagon, and based on safety tests, interior design and the vehicles handling, we went with the CRV. However, the one glitch is the paint job. Our Chianti red paint is chipping off the hood at an incredible rate! At 2 years of age, the hood and front fenders are in far worse shape than our 13 year old Camry. The rest of the vehicle seems to scratch very easily as well.

  • Good car but . . . - 2002 Honda CR-V

    There is lots of room for improvement. I have the EX model with 15,000 miles on it and I get very poor gas mileage no matter how I drive, (17 mpg). At 61" tall, I barely fit in this car. I have one in black and the paint appears to be very thin and shows swirl marks and scratches easily. I added the aftermarket leather and aftermarket 16" wheels with Bridgestone Dueler tires to make the ride a little bit smoother but it is still rather punishing on the freeways. Overall I think the car is very good but I think the engineers at Honda could have put a little bit more thought into it to make it a really great little SUV.

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

    So far so good. Very punchy w/new engine. Gets on highway effectively. Choice of interior fabric not too good. Wish they offered leather...Handles well in bad weather..snow/ice and rain. Love the new design and room/comfort. Sold my Tahoe/Chevy and havent missed the room. The new CRV is suprisingly comfy and roomy. As much room in cargo as a jeep cherokee. Gas mileage is lower than expected, but Ive only got 2500 miles...so it may improve w/mileage.

    Very pleased with CRV. No complaints. Take out one of the back head rests for better view to the rear.

  • AWESOME SUV!!!! - 2002 Honda CR-V

    Definitely a SUV of choice. I test drove both the RAV4 and the Xterra and neither of them could compare to the practicality of the CRV! The gear shift is a little quirky, and it can get in the way of the radio, but the smoothness of the ride and the reliability of a Honda should overcome that. Ive read some comments about a click when coming to a complete stop. I contacted a dealer and they stated it could be from the steering wheel airbag. Other than those minor glitches, a fine car!

    The new CRV is a great small SUV it drives just like a car and is incredibly versatile. The CRV also gets its peak torque early so it pulls through all the gears.
