  • Best Ive ever owned - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I love everything about it. Its a spunky car in the city, and no problem on those steep mountain roads out west. It feels the same at 90 as it does at 60.

  • Needs POWER - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    My CRV has performed well in city driving and on the super highways. I like the storage room in it and it is a good size for my needs. The AC works well and it gets good mileage when travelling on the interstates. There is however a loud humm that comes at about 37 MPH-40 MPH. The dealer does not seem to be able to figure out the problem. I also would like more leg room for the driver. My major concern is merging into traffic on the interstate. The car does not have enough power so that I feel like I am going to create an accident or be in one myself.

    Honda never ceases to amaze me. I am a new CR-V owner after making the mistake of owning a Saturn product for years. After driving my CR-V for several weeks, I am sold on its quality, performance, design, and all around value. If you really look at the build quality of this SUV versus competing models, it is hard to beat. If you buy on the basis of price...you are going to get what you pay for. It comes with more standard features and 10 years from now it will still be going strong. Are there cheaper mini-utes out there? Sure...but I promise you this...you will get what you pay for.

    We have a 2000 manual LX and liked it so much we bought a second. The new model is much more powerful, and a very smooth ride. We also liked that the new models offered Moon Roof. lots of extras and the automatic is very smooth

  • CRV REVIEW - 2002 Honda CR-V

    GOT MY CRV IN JUNE. I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT ALL AROUND. RESPONDING TO ANGELICAS REVIEW ON 1/12/02 (ALMOST PERFECT). MY CRV HAS THAT SAME CLICKING NOISE IN THE DASH AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOPEFULLY THE NOISE WILL BE RESOLVED. OTHER THAN THAT ITS A GREAT MINI SUV.

  • Best: And Cheaper than a Lexus - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    It only took one short test drive to convince us the CR-V was the car for us. Weve taken highway trips that were as comfortable as any sedan. It has been used to haul all sorts of things and never needs babying. Our first Honda but it sure wont be the last. Now if I can just get my wife to look at the S-2000 during a test drive.

  • Happy with the car - 2002 Honda CR-V

    I have one problem with the car. I have dual side air bags, but when I turn on the car it tell me that the side air bags are off. I have tried to notify the dealer but he said that it depends on where the seat is located. I think that he is telling me everything.

    great suv would like it to have a little more driver room

  • good car - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Good value. Roomy at rear, comfy at front. Good support for the torso on turns. Surprisingly quiet with open moon-roof even at 70 mph. 6-cd sounds good. Fuel light on after 270-290m, but only 11.6g fits, so 4g is there, enough for ~80m. Fuel economy is ok. On 4700m trip mean fuel consumption was 26.6mpg. Rear differential leaks after 9000m, fixed at 10000m service. Since than (12000+)-ok. Useless on deep sand - wheels are digging in instead of rolling over. 4w drive working good, very confident drive over puddles on hw - it pushing from back when front loosing grip. ABS working ok. Acceleration is good, esp.at 5000-5500 rpm. No feeling of underpower, quiet.

  • Outstanding - 2002 Honda CR-V
    By -

    The CRVs build quality is equal to that of the $40K BMW that also resides in my garage. I hear claims of excess road noise from the CRV, but Im yet to detect them, I suggest other reviewers take a test drive in another car and make a relative rather than an absolute evaluation (or stay off secondary roads and out of the northern states). Overall, a perfect car for city and highway driving, sure it cant accelerate to 100 in 4 seconds, but where are you going to use that kind of performance. Its the thinking mans car. Put the money you save into your kids education.
