  • Nice Car...I mean SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    My budget for this purchase was $18,000 -25,000 so I chose from Toyota RAV4 and the CR-V. American cars werent considered (bad experiences with Ford and Chrysler in the past). I liked the options included for one price for the CR-V so I went for that and I dont regret it at all. (side airbags, aluminum wheels, cd changer, ABS, moonroof). The car looks nice on the outside. Not macho, not too cutsie, just right. The inside is pretty plain, but has lots of space, relatively comfortable seats, and a great easy to read controls. Drive performance is nice as it accelerates quickly and handles on curves and sharp turns great. It is also easy to park.

    Honda packs a lot in this package at a nice price. Good handling, nice pick up and size. Perhaps my one complaint is that the ride could be slightly quieter and less stiff.

  • A Great Mini SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Love it! First SUV. Also looked at Forester and Rav. Has more space than either. Took one-day road trip of 170 miles in hard rain and driving wind (from the side)on interstate (speeds 65- 70mph). Tracked extremely well and much less wind buffeting than our sedan. Not as quiet as a sedan - wind and tire noise is noticable, but probably not as loud as a mid- or full-size SUV. Seats are firm (a bit on the hard side, even), but during our 170 mile trip we were not uncomfortable. Impressed with the rear seats - lots of rear seat legroom, rear seats slide forward and back, seat backs can be adjusted, rear seats fold up and forward to add more cargo space.

    This is an all around great car. My wife crashed hers last week, and we loved the vehicle so much, we bought another one identical. My only complaint is that in a 5-speed, there is no armrests.... other than that, I wouldnt change a thing!

  • Excellent Vehicle for the price - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    This is my third honda purchase. I first bought a honda civic, then a honda accord, and now a honda cr-v. I wanted a suv without the extreme price and that is what I have with the CRV. The only suggestion I have is the center head rest needs to be removed because it blocks the rear view. However, the gas mileage is good, the vehicle is very comfortable and fun to drive, and overall I feel it is a good vehicle.

    I brought this for the make and model. LOVE It, LOVE IT. Test drove the Nissan Xterra and was too small in the front area. The Hona CRV is comfortable and a great ride...

  • Great Mini-SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    The 2004 CR-V is another great car in the Honda line. Build quality is great and the initial impression of this car is that should serve me for many years with little or no complaint from me or the car. The real-time 4wd was a real selling point for me. I tried it out on some wet roads and the car stuck to the road. All in all, the combination of fuel-efficiency and reliability of a civic with a SUV platform was a great idea. My wife has an 03 forester, both are great cars, choose the CR-V for size and finish, the forester for performance.

  • Good so far - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Very good so far. In city mileage even during the breakin period was 22-24mpg. Very comfortable and easy to drive.

  • Youll love it! - 2004 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I have twin daughters so we need lots of space for the stroller, toys, etc and this little SUV is really bigger than I thought it would be! We can even fit a 3rd person next to the two car seats in the back. Honda has added thoughtful little extras inside - lots of cubby holes for CDs, change, cup holders. It even a util tray UNDER the passenger side seat just right for maps, books, etc. There are pockets on the back of each seat (a must with little kids in the car), plus several pockets on the back door. I also like the safety test results and you can get side impact airbags in the EX.
